Abstract

The ideology and social-political viewpoints of the author have an impact on their texts. Students should thus assess their reading and writing assignments from several angles and avoid taking any material at face value. However, there is still a lack of literacy practice in the EFL environment that goes beyond breaking down linguistic elements and comprehending the surface material of the texts. As a result, educators should switch from conventional literacy to critical literacy. Beyond just decoding words, critical literacy interprets them in light of their context to conclude the social, political, and ideological viewpoints expressed in the text. This research aims to determine if using a storybook and the four resources model of critical literacy may help first- semester students in the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Bale Bandung practice critical literacy. The four resources model suggested by Luke and Freebody (1999) served as the foundation for the text discussions. Focus group interviews, classroom observations, and notebooks they kept while researching a tale were all used to gather the data. The results demonstrated that including an account and four resources help pupils strengthen their critical thinking skills. Through breaking codes exercises, discussion of the storybook during the meaning-making stage, comprehension of the story's structural elements and social function during the text-use phase, and critical discussion of the storybook, the students could identify the writer's language choice and challenge social norms. Despite its drawbacks and limitations, this research shows that critical literacy practice is feasible in EFL contexts, particularly in reading classroom.

Abstract

Human resource quality and digital readiness are increasingly recognized as crucial foundations for strengthening creativity and competitiveness among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). However, many craft-based MSMEs still struggle to optimize human resource potential and adapt to technological changes in marketing, resulting in limited innovation and slow competitive growth. This study aims to analyze the influence of HR training and digital marketing on the creativity and competitiveness of craft MSMEs in Pengkolan Village, Cikidang Village, Lembang District, West Bandung Regency. A quantitative method was employed using a descriptive and verification approach, with survey-based data collected through purposive sampling of MSME actors. Data were analyzed through validity and reliability testing, multiple linear regression, and the coefficient of determination using SPSS version 29. The results reveal that HR training has a significant positive effect on MSME creativity and competitiveness, indicating that improved knowledge, skills, and attitudes directly contribute to stronger innovative capacity. Digital marketing also shows a significant positive influence, demonstrating that effective online promotion enhances consumer reach, purchasing tendencies, and overall market responsiveness. Together, HR training and digital marketing explain 67.4% of the variation in MSME creativity and competitiveness, indicating their substantial combined contribution. These findings imply that strengthening human resource development and digital marketing adoption is essential for advancing the innovation capabilities and long-term competitiveness of craft MSMEs.

Abstract

Studi ini meneliti efektivitas penggunaan sistem flashcard berbasis AI untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris di kalangan pembelajar EFL. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah 45 mahasiswa akuntansi S1 yang terdaftar dalam kursus bahasa Inggris di sebuah universitas di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan desain pretest-posttest satu kelompok, penelitian ini dilakukan selama enam minggu menggunakan Anki, aplikasi flashcard berbasis AI yang menerapkan algoritma pengulangan berjarak untuk mendukung retensi kosakata. Data dikumpulkan melalui penilaian kosakata pretest dan posttest serta kuesioner persepsi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam penguasaan kosakata siswa, dengan skor rata-rata meningkat dari 5,40 menjadi 8,20 setelah intervensi. Siswa juga melaporkan bahwa sistem flashcard tersebut menarik, nyaman, dan efektif dalam membantu mereka mengingat kata-kata. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa alat flashcard berbasis AI seperti Anki dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan pembelajaran kosakata, mendorong otonomi pembelajar, dan memotivasi siswa EFL, khususnya mereka yang bukan dari jurusan bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

Karawang Regency has undergone a significant transformation from an agrarian area into an industrial center, resulting in a reduction of agricultural land. This condition highlights the need for environmentally friendly urban agriculture practices, one of which is the implementation of urban farming based on a circular economy approach. This community service program was carried out in August 2025 in Sukaluyu Village, Karawang Regency, in collaboration with a women’s household group as the main partner. The program aimed to improve the skills and awareness of the community, particularly women, in processing household waste into compost fertilizer to support urban farming practices. The implementation methods included compost-making training, hands-on practice assistance, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed a significant improvement in the participants’ understanding of the circular economy concept, the benefits of urban farming, and composting techniques, as reflected in the increase in evaluation scores from 60–72% in the pre-test to 83–87% in the post-test. In addition, participants were able to independently practice compost production using household waste, providing an alternative source of organic fertilizer that can be utilized in urban farming activities. In conclusion, the implementation of urban farming based on the circular economy proved effective in enhancing community capacity and encouraging more sustainable household environmental managementKabupaten Karawang mengalami perubahan signifikan dari daerah agraris menjadi pusat industri yang berdampak pada berkurangnya lahan pertanian. Kondisi tersebut mendorong perlunya inovasi pertanian perkotaan yang ramah lingkungan, salah satunya melalui penerapan urban farming berbasis circular economy. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus 2025 di Kelurahan Sukaluyu, Kabupaten Karawang, dengan mitra utama kelompok ibu-ibu rumah tangga. Program ini bertujuan meningkatkan keterampilan dan kesadaran masyarakat, khususnya kelompok ibu-ibu di Kelurahan Sukaluyu, dalam mengolah limbah rumah tangga menjadi pupuk kompos untuk mendukung praktik urban farming. Metode pelaksanaan mencakup pelatihan pembuatan kompos, pendampingan praktik, serta evaluasi melalui pre-test dan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pemahaman peserta mengenai konsep circular economy, manfaat urban farming, dan teknik pembuatan kompos, yang ditunjukkan oleh kenaikan skor evaluasi dari 60–72% pada pre-test menjadi 83–87% pada post-test. Selain itu, peserta mampu mempraktikkan pembuatan kompos secara mandiri dengan memanfaatkan limbah rumah tangga, sehingga memiliki alternatif sumber pupuk organik yang dapat digunakan dalam kegiatan urban farming. Kesimpulan dari kegiatan ini adalah penerapan urban farming berbasis circular economy terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kapasitas masyarakat dan mendorong perilaku pengelolaan lingkungan yang lebih berkelanjutan.
