Abstract

Speaking is one of the English skills that many EFL students still find difficult, especially those who do not major in English. This study examines how students at the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business, Institut Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan Binjai, perceive the use of procedure text in speaking instruction. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied, involving 15 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Most participants viewed the use of procedure text positively. They felt that its clear sequence helped them arrange ideas before speaking, making it easier to explain a process in a logical order. Several students also reported feeling more confident and becoming more involved during speaking activities because they had a structured guide to follow. At the same time, they acknowledged that limited vocabulary, pronunciation problems, and nervousness still affected their speaking performance. The findings suggest that procedure text provides practical support for speaking instruction, particularly for non-English major students. It offers opportunities to practice speaking in a more organized way while gradually building confidence and improving communicative ability in English.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of perceived ease, perceived usefulness, perceived trust, and Sharia compliance on customers’ interest in using mobile banking at the Binjai Branch of Bank Syariah Indonesia. This quantitative causal study involved 100 respondents who are customers of BSI’s Binjai Branch, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via a Google Forms questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that, individually, perceived trust and Sharia compliance have a significant positive effect on customer interest, with Sharia compliance being the most dominant factor. Perceived ease and perceived usefulness show a positive direction but are not statistically significant. Simultaneously, all four variables had a significant effect with an R-squared of 75.2%. The implication is that BSI needs to prioritize Sharia compliance and build customer trust through transaction security guarantees and data protection as the primary drivers of customer interest.

Abstract

This study aims to explore more deeply the role of the English Community in reducing English speaking anxiety among students at the Institut Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan Binjai. This study is a descriptive qualitative research supported by quantitative descriptive data. Data were collected using open interviews with 5 students and questionnaires distributed via Google Form to 104 students. The results of the study found that the English Community is very helpful for students in developing their English speaking talent and reducing the anxiety they face when speaking English. The safe and comfortable atmosphere of the English Community class without pressure, peers without bullying, fun English tutors, interesting and appropriate teaching materials and learning media, and receiving full support to continue sharpening their English language talents are strong reasons for students to join and develop their English speaking skills. English communities have been proven to foster interest, passion, and confidence in speaking English. Therefore, it is important for every college to have an English Community as a means of developing students’ English talents and interests free from anxiety.
