Abstract

Abstrak. Industri konstruksi di Indonesia menghadapi tantangan dalam hal efisiensi waktu, biaya, dan pengelolaan material, terutama dalam proses pengangkatan beton pracetak (precast). Salah satu masalah yang sering muncul adalah keretakan pada beton saat proses pengangkatan yang disebabkan oleh ketidaksesuaian alat angkat. Dalam rangka memberikan solusi terhadap permasalahan ini, dilakukan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat di PT. Gelora Konstruksi dengan mengembangkan penggunaan limbah potongan tiang pancang baja (steel pipe piles) sebagai alternatif spreader beam untuk proses lifting beton pracetak. Pemanfaatan material bekas ini bertujuan untuk mengurangi biaya, mempercepat waktu fabrikasi, serta menjaga kualitas konstruksi dengan mengurangi potensi keretakan pada beton. Melalui analisis teknis menggunakan perangkat lunak SAP2000, spreader beam yang terbuat dari limbah potongan tiang pancang dinyatakan aman dengan stress ratio <1. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan material limbah ini menghemat waktu fabrikasi dari 10 hari menjadi hanya 3 hari, serta mengurangi biaya pengadaan material baru. Kegiatan ini memberikan kontribusi nyata terhadap pembangunan berkelanjutan dan praktik konstruksi ramah lingkungan. Kata Kunci: Spreader Beam, Steel Pipe Pile, Efisiensi, Inovasi, Konstruksi

Abstract

The objectives of this research were focused on English teachers’ perspectives on learner autonomy and to what extent English teachers felt their learners were autonomous in online reading comprehension in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. These research questions were answered by using observation, interview, and Likert-scale questionnaire in the form of qualitative method. The sample of this study was 26 English teachers in 4 elementary schools and 5 junior high schools in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The results of the study showed some points on learner autonomy, such as: (1) the importance of learner autonomy, (2) the way English teachers promoted learner autonomy, (3) the challenges and responsibilities of English teachers to implement learner autonomy, (4) English teachers’ observation to learners’ autonomy in online reading comprehension, (5) learners’ activities in online reading comprehension strategy, and (6) English teachers’ preparation in online reading comprehension class. This research concluded that the degree of learners’ autonomy during the pandemic was higher rather than before the COVID-19 pandemic due to some reasons.

Abstract

This research examined systematic errors in pseudo-complement clauses and extraposition. The errors included subject-raising issues, verb-complement mismapping, nominalization drift, and filler-gap confusion. These were found in the English writing of Indonesian elementary school students in Medan, North Sumatra and Manado, North Sulawesi. The research used a cognitive syntax framework and applied a qualitative multiple-case study design. Data were collected through free-writing prompts. The findings revealed frequent clause misformations. Common patterns included overuse of “It is + Verb + That/To” constructions, blending of that/to clauses, mislearned subject raising, and poor control of nonfinite clauses. These errors reflected deeper cognitive struggles. Students had difficulty managing clause control, syntactic focus, and verb-complement alignment. The issues were partly influenced by L1 transfer and rote use of lexical chunks. Many students tried to express abstract ideas without sufficient syntactic mastery. These were not isolated mistakes, but signs of developing syntactic representation. The research emphasized the need for clause-based instruction. Such instruction can support both conceptual understanding and grammatical development. The implications for early writing pedagogy and future developmental studies in bilingual contexts were also discussed

Abstract

This research explored the development of an interactive multimedia-based English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program designed to enhance English proficiency and career guidance at UPMI Medan. It addressed a notable discrepancy between theoretical frameworks and practical needs in ESP, as students increasingly demanded courses that integrated both oral and written communication skills with job-related tasks. Applying the Kemp instructional design model, the research used a comprehensive multi-phase approach: assessing student proficiency levels, identifying instructional needs, designing tailored ESP content for Business Administration, Tourism, and Public Speaking, and incorporating multimedia platforms such as Udemy and Gaminik. Key findings revealed that 40% of students prioritized mastering business correspondence, 58% sought improved communication skills for meetings, and 48% were interested in tourism-specific English. The research highlighted the effectiveness of flipped learning and interactive multimedia in overcoming vocabulary challenges and boosting engagement. Ultimately, it emphasized the need to integrate career-focused modules into ESP courses to better align language skills with career aspirations, thereby enhancing employability and professional readiness.

Abstract

This study explored how integrating fake news deconstruction, narrative reframing, and editorial simulation enhanced critical media ethics in EFL classrooms. Moving beyond conventional language instruction, it positioned English learning as a site of ideological negotiation and epistemic responsibility. Thirty education students as teacher candidates in North Sumatra engaged in an eight-week task-based curriculum analyzing ethically problematic texts drawn from real-world media. Guided by systemic functional linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and appraisal theory, students rewrote distorted headlines, clarified vague attributions, and reconstructed visual-caption misalignments. Findings revealed that students developed rhetorical precision, ethical awareness, and stylistic maturity, transforming from passive consumers into critical and active media agents. By combining language learning with civic literacy, this study proposed a replicable model for ethical pedagogy in digital times, foregrounding truth-validation, genre critique, and linguistic agency as core components of 21st-century EFL education.

Abstract

This study investigated linguistic racism in Indonesian EFL classrooms, where Standard English dominated and marginalized regional linguistic identities. Employing Critical Race Theory, raciolinguistics, and postcolonial applied linguistics, it analyzed observations, interviews, and discourse from three junior high schools in Medan. Findings revealed that regional accents and non-standard grammar were policed, corrected, and ridiculed, fostering internalized hierarchies that equated fluency with whiteness and global prestige. English-only policies and Anglo-American curricular content further silenced diverse voices, perpetuating colonial language gatekeeping. Emotional harm, identity suppression, and peer surveillance exacerbated students’ withdrawal and conformity pressures. Nevertheless, students resisted through translanguaging, code-switching, parody, and peer support, asserting hybrid identities and challenging hegemonic norms. The study called for pedagogical reforms embracing culturally responsive and inclusive approaches that validated multilingualism, dismantled linguistic hierarchies, and promoted equitable English learning. This shift was vital to transform classrooms from sites of exclusion to spaces where diverse linguistic identities were empowered.
