Abstract

This qualitative study looks at the use of Canva as a learning media tool among pre-service teachers enrolled in the Professional Teacher Education Program (PPG). Data were collected through on-the-ground interviews with four PPG students to better understand their experiences and perceptions of using Canva to create teaching materials. The study investigated the most common forms of teaching materials created with Canva, desired features, key benefits, and constraints faced by the teachers. Findings showed that pre-service teachers generally had positive experiences using Canva, praising its ease of use, time-saving capabilities, and collaboration features. They commonly develop presentation materials, infographics and posters using Canva's vast library of templates and graphic tools. Its main advantages include increased teaching efficiency and the creation of visually appealing content that promotes student engagement and understanding. However, issues such as limited internet connectivity and restrictions on Canva's free features underscore the need for improved infrastructure and institutional assistance. This study highlights Canva's potential to improve educational practices and offers significant insights for building curricula and strategies for technology integration in education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether Flashcards as visual aids can enrich students' vocabulary acquisition in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was implemented at Mts Babussalam DDI Kassi by involving 7th-grade students as the population and 25 students from class VII D as a sample selected by random sampling technique. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' average scores. The score on the diagnostic test was 22.20, the cycle I test reached 56.80, and the cycle II test increased to 90.80. The implementation of the use of Flashcards in learning resulted in a significant difference in scores, namely 34.60 points from the diagnostic test to cycle I, 34.00 points from cycle I to cycle II, and 68.60 points from the diagnostic test to cycle II. These results are supported by a significance value (Sig.) of 0.000 which is smaller than 0.05. Thus, this study shows that the use of Flashcards as a learning medium can significantly enrich students' vocabulary.

Abstract

Euphemistic expressions play a significant role in educational discourse, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms where cultural sensitivity and affective support are central to learning. This study investigates how English teachers in Indonesia strategically use euphemism to manage classroom interaction and provide feedback without threatening students’ self-esteem. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, focusing on two secondary school English teachers in South Sulawesi. Data were collected through non-participant classroom observations, with detailed field notes capturing authentic teacher–student exchanges, and were validated through post-lesson clarification. Thematic analysis revealed seven recurrent categories of euphemistic strategies: politeness markers, softening language, downplaying language, indirect requests, minimization of errors, correction with positive feedback, and reassurance. These strategies were not merely linguistic substitutions but pedagogical tools for fostering respectful communication, reducing anxiety, and sustaining learner engagement. Findings suggest that euphemism contributes to the affective dimension of language pedagogy by aligning instructional clarity with socio-cultural expectations of respect and harmony. The study highlights the importance of integrating euphemistic strategies into teacher education and professional development. While limited in scope, it provides a foundation for further research on the pragmatic and pedagogical functions of euphemism in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the quality of language use among non-English major students in Indonesia through authentic assessment of English language learning. Five students from diverse majors were selected as subjects, and their written descriptions of daily activities during the holiday were analyzed. The assessment criteria included grammar and syntax, vocabulary, clarity and precision, organization and cohesion, conventions and mechanics, audience and purpose alignment, as well as creativity and style. Data analysis followed the framework proposed by Miles and Huberman, involving data collection, sorting, coding, pattern identification, interpretation, and verification. The findings revealed varied levels of language proficiency among the students. Some essays exhibited accurate grammar and sentence structure, while others contained recurring errors, particularly in subject-verb agreement and sentence construction. Vocabulary usage ranged from adequate to descriptive, though specific essays required more precise word choices. Clarity and precision were generally observed, though transitions between paragraphs often needed improvement. Organization and cohesion were inconsistent, with some essays lacking clear structure and logical flow. While most students adhered to writing conventions, minor errors in spelling and punctuation were noted. Audience and purpose alignment were generally effective, and creativity was evident, although some essays displayed underdeveloped stylistic expression. Overall, this research offers valuable insights into the language proficiency of non-English major students and provides recommendations for improving writing skills through authentic assessment methods. Future studies could focus on implementing the feedback from these assessments to enhance the quality of students' written descriptions.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented in Bonto Tengnga Village, Sinjai Regency, with the main objective of enhancing the village’s economic independence through the empowerment of two partner groups, namely the Balantieng Farmers Group and the Women Farmers Group Persatuan. Both groups faced several challenges, including limited skills in coffee cultivation management, suboptimal utilization of coffee husk waste, and a lack of innovation in developing local processed food products. To address these issues, the program was conducted through several stages, including socialization, needs identification, technical training, intensive mentoring, and follow-up evaluation. The training activities focused on improving technical skills such as proper coffee cherry picking, plant maintenance and fertilization, and the production of compost from coffee husks as a value-added agricultural by-product. For the women farmers group, the program emphasized product diversification by developing various types of crackers made from bananas, cassava, and taro with assorted flavors, as well as training in product packaging and marketing strategies. In addition to technical training, the program also strengthened institutional capacity through bookkeeping and task management workshops to improve organizational governance. The results showed a significant improvement in the partners’ knowledge, practical skills, and confidence in managing local resources productively, efficiently, and sustainably. The collaborative approach between the farmers group and the women farmers group proved effective in creating an integrated economic value chain within the village. Overall, this program serves as a model for developing rural economic independence through coffee-based downstream processing that enhances community welfare and sustainable local economic resilience.
