Abstract

This study explores the dominant learning styles of students at SMK Negeri 1 Dobo in learning English and the strategies they use to develop these styles. Recognizing students’ learning preferences is crucial for optimizing the educational experience and enhancing language acquisition. Through a descriptive quantitative approach, data were gathered from 30 students via questionnaires. The findings reveal that visual learning is the most preferred style among the students, who benefit from images, diagrams, and visual aids in language learning. To support their learning, students primarily use metacognitive strategies, which foster self-directed improvement, followed by knowledge strategies and occasional social strategies for practical application. These insights underscore the need for tailored instructional approaches that align with students’ visual preferences while integrating other methods to foster a comprehensive learning environment. This study provides valuable input for educators to align teaching methods with students’ dominant learning styles, thus enhancing engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

Second Language Acquisition (SLA) in children is a complex interplay of internal and external factors that significantly influence learning outcomes. This study explores the multifaceted nature of SLA, emphasizing critical variables such as motivation, cognitive abilities, personality traits, age, and emotional states. External determinants, including instructional quality, sociocultural context, and family involvement, are also highlighted. Employing a library research methodology, the study synthesizes insights from diverse academic resources to identify how these factors collectively shape language acquisition trajectories. Findings underscore the dynamic interdependence of internal and external influences, emphasizing tailored instructional strategies and the importance of supportive learning environments. The implications extend to pedagogical practices, parental engagement, and the integration of sociocultural elements to foster effective SLA. The study concludes with recommendations for future research to empirically validate theoretical models and explore innovative approaches in language education.

Abstract

The “Ngabubuteach” community service activity was carried out to improve the English language skills of the children at the Al-Madinah Wara Orphanage while also fostering social awareness and concern for the community among students. This program was designed with an interactive learning approach through educational games, conversation simulations, and fun group activities to motivate the children to use English. The activity consisted of four main stages, namely fundraising to support the needs of the activity, preparation of teaching materials, implementation of the learning process, and evaluation to measure learning outcomes. Based on the evaluation results, the children showed an improvement in their ability to understand basic vocabulary, greetings, and simple expressions in English. Meanwhile, the students involved gained valuable experience in teaching practice, teamwork, and strengthening social empathy towards others. The success of this activity was due to the collaboration between student organizations, the support of supervising lecturers, and the cooperation of the orphanage. In the future, this program is expected to develop more varied materials and provide more adequate learning facilities.

Abstract

This study investigates students' perceptions of integrating local wisdom into creative writing, focusing on poetry in the Indonesian educational context. The research employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data from surveys and qualitative insights from interviews, to explore students’ experiences, engagement, and challenges in writing poetry that reflects their cultural heritage. Findings reveal that while students generally perceive local wisdom integration positively, enhancing both cultural connection and creative expression, they also face notable challenges, particularly related to language translation and personal relevance. The study underscores the need for culturally responsive pedagogy that balances local content with creative freedom, fostering deeper engagement in creative writing education.
