Abstract

A question-and-answer technique is one of the strategies to learn English-speaking skills. It invites the class to ask the concerned student questions and avoids a monologue where all the focus is on one person, which helps the teacher reduce tension. The purpose of this study was to confirm the impact of question-and-answer sessions on the speaking proficiency of first-grade senior high school students in Malang, Indonesia. A Quasi-experimental research design was employed since the present study utilized two intact groups. To find out the result, the researchers conducted a pre-test to measure the homogeneity of the group and a post-test to verify the technique's effectiveness. Based on the pre-test result, the groups were claimed to be homogenous before treatment was done since the significant value (.53) was greater than 0.05 (.53> 0.05). However, the post-test result after the treatment indicated that the two groups differed significantly at 0.05 levels as the sig. of the test results was less than 0.05 (.001<0.05). Furthermore, the descriptive statistics revealed better performance in the experimental than in the control group (76.56 > 66.22). It is summarized that the students who were taught using question-and-answer techniques had better speaking ability than those who were not. Therefore, the researchers recommended teachers apply this technique to their students to develop their speaking ability.

Abstract

Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) memiliki peran penting dalam mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi masyarakat, namun banyak UMKM pangan masih menghadapi keterbatasan teknologi produksi yang menyebabkan rendahnya produktivitas usaha. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan produktivitas UMKM kudapan pasar melalui penerapan Teknologi Tepat Guna (TTG) berupa planetary mixer dan spinner peniris minyak. Mitra kegiatan adalah UMKM kudapan pasar milik Bapak B. S. di Kelurahan Sukoharjo, Kota Malang. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan selama 3 bulan (April-June 2026) dengan metode pelaksanaan meliputi observasi, penyediaan peralatan, pelatihan penggunaan dan perawatan alat, pendampingan produksi, serta evaluasi hasil kegiatan. Sedangkan analisis data menggunakan deskriptif komparatif untuk mengetahui hasil sebelum dan sesudah pelaksanaan pengabdian. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas produksi meningkat dari 18 kg menjadi 35 kg adonan per hari, jumlah produk meningkat dari 750 unit menjadi 1.450 unit per hari, dan omzet harian meningkat dari Rp750.000 menjadi Rp1.400.000. Selain meningkatkan efisiensi produksi, waktu yang dibutuhkan lebih cepat dengan produksi yang lebih banyak, program ini juga meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mitra dalam mengoperasikan serta merawat peralatan secara mandiri sehingga mendukung keberlanjutan pemanfaatan teknologi setelah program berakhir.

Abstract

English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) communication prioritizes intelligibility over native-like accuracy among speakers with diverse linguistic backgrounds. This mixed-methods study examines whether real-time automatic speech recognition (ASR) transcription enhances the intelligibility of Indonesian-accented English (IAE) in ELF contexts. Data were collected from Universitas PGRI Kanjuruhan Malang students through pre- and post-intelligibility transcription tasks, completed with and without Google Live Transcribe, as well as questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative results revealed a statistically significant improvement in listener intelligibility when ASR support was available, particularly for low-frequency vocabulary, technical terms, and sentence-final elements, alongside reduced performance variability. Qualitative findings indicated positive user perceptions of real-time transcription as accessible, user-friendly, and supportive of comprehension and communicative confidence, despite occasional transcription errors. Overall, the findings suggest that real-time ASR transcription functions as cognitive scaffolding that mitigates accent-related processing challenges in ELF communication. This study contributes to ELF and CALL literature by providing empirical evidence that ASR-mediated interaction functions as cognitive scaffolding, supporting listener intelligibility in multilingual English use, particularly in the processing of low-frequency vocabulary, technical terms, and sentence-final elements.
