Abstract

This paper explores the way the demographic factors, usage behaviours, and learning strategies of English writing students affect their proficiency in writing by using Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) tools. In particular, it poses the following question: How do the demographics, MALL use patterns, and learning strategies of the learners interact to influence their proficiency in writing English? The online questionnaire was used to gather data on 124 university students in Kalimantan. Descriptive analysis showed that 67 per cent of the participants are female, with a majority of them being aged 18 to 20 years. Most of them applied MALL tools to train text types (28 percent), improve the writing style (21 percent), and grammatical accuracy (19 percent). The findings have shown great scores of self-direction (86%), problem-solving orientation (79%), which portrays proactive and reflective learners. All of those strategies were related to enhanced writing abilities at all levels. The conclusion of the paper is that the integration of the MALL tools can enhance self-directed and problem-based learning in writing classes. The results provide a helpful contribution to educators in the creation of adaptive and strategy-based MALL-assisted instruction writing.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of the TBI Millennial English Club in supporting students’ speaking skill development through nonformal English learning activities. Although speaking skills are essential for effective communication, many EFL learners have limited opportunities for authentic oral practice in formal classroom settings. This research aims to explore how structured English club activities facilitate students’ speaking performance, engagement, and confidence. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through direct observations of weekly club meetings and analysis of supporting documentation. The observations focused on student participation, types of speaking activities, facilitator–learner interactions, and the affective environment created during the sessions. The findings reveal three major contributions of the English club: (1) it provides consistent opportunities for authentic and meaningful speaking practice through activities such as role-plays, storytelling, discussions, and impromptu speaking; (2) facilitators play a crucial role in scaffolding learning by offering guidance, modeling target language use, and giving immediate, constructive feedback; and (3) the club fosters a supportive and motivating environment that reduces speaking anxiety and increases students’ confidence and willingness to communicate. Overall, the study concludes that the TBI Millennial English Club serves as an effective supplementary learning space that enhances students’ speaking skills and communicative competence. The implications highlight the importance of integrating nonformal speaking programs into EFL settings and providing facilitator training to maximise learning outcomes.

Abstract

Keterampilan menulis dalam Bahasa Inggris merupakan salah satu kompetensi esensial abad ke-21, namun keterampilan ini seringkali menjadi tantangan terbesar dalam pembelajaran. Guru-guru di Kecamatan Wonomulyo, Polewali Mandar, teridentifikasi masih cenderung menggunakan metode konvensional yang berpusat pada guru dan berpusat pada produk, sehingga mengakibatkan rendahnya motivasi siswa. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan dan mempraktikkan dua model pembelajaran inovatif, yaitu Project-Based Learning (PBL) dan Heutagogi (pembelajaran mandiri), untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik guru dalam mengajarkan keterampilan menulis.

Abstract

This study explores how persuasive elements in fast-food advertisements influence teenagers’ attitudes and perceptions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, ten popular McDonald’s and KFC advertisements on YouTube released in the past five years were analyzed. Each ad featured celebrity collaborations, vibrant visuals, and strong audience engagement. Visual, verbal, and audio components were examined through a semiotic framework focusing on denotation, connotation, and underlying cultural meanings. The findings reveal that teenagers mostly respond to advertisements through emotional and visual cues rather than rational evaluation. Elements such as celebrity endorsements, catchy music, humor, bright color schemes, and limited time offers strongly shaped their attitudes toward fast-food brands. A smaller group of students considered product quality and value, but these instances were less common. Overall, the advertisements present fast-food consumption as part of a modern and desirable lifestyle, influencing how teenagers form preferences and social identities. The results highlight the need for stronger media literacy and educational programs that help young people critically assess persuasive messages in digital marketing and make more informed choices in their daily media consumption.
