Abstract

Emojis have become crucial in digital communication, enhancing emotional expression and clarity on social media. However, discrepancies exist in how emojis are interpreted across different cultural and contextual settings. This study aims to explore emoji usage and interpretation among university students inEnglish Language Education Study Program at UniversitasNias. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research examines how emojis influence message meaning and clarity. Findings reveal that while emojis significantly enhance emotional nuance and expressiveness, their interpretation varies widely based on context and cultural background. This can lead to misunderstandings if emojis are not used appropriately. The study highlights the importance of understanding cultural and contextual nuances to ensure effective communication. Conclusively, while emojis enrich digital interactions, users must be mindful of their context-aware and culturally informed usage to maximize clarity and minimize misinterpretations.

Abstract

Understanding speech (speech perception) is an important ability that English language students must master. There are several theoretical models of speech comprehension that attempt to explain the cognitive and linguistic processes underlying this ability. As for speech perception models, 1) Motor Theory of Speech Perception, 2) Analysis-by-Synthesis, 3) Group Model, 4) Fuzzy Logic Model, 5) TRACE Model. This study aims to find out what kind of speech perception model used by students in lectures, especially in the process of teaching and learning English. Specifically, this research is classified as qualitative research. To collect data, the participants studied were the 5th semester population of the English education study program, especially at Nias University. Random samples were used and the samples were 7 people from class A. From the results that have been obtained, there are 4 (four) students classified as using the Cohort model, 2 (two) students classified as using the Motor Theory model, and 1 (one) student classified as using the Fuzzy Logical Model, so we can conclude that most students use the Cohort model they often use this model in English learning activities every day.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the impact of video projects on YouTube to improve students' speaking skills. This study used descriptive quantitative research. The population of this study was 42 second semester students of English Education Study Program at University of Nias. To determine the sample researchers used simple random sampling then the sample of this study was 20 people. The data were collected by using documentation and observation techniques. The data was in the form of videos made and uploaded by the students with three different topics. Students’ videos have three different topics namely registration, giving opinions and arriving late. The videos were observed and scored based on the speaking assessment rubric by Helmanda & Nisa (2018). After that, the scores obtained by students from each video were categorized. The researchers examined the video projects uploaded by second-semester students to analyze the impact of video uploading on improving students’ speaking skills. The result showed that students’ video project can improve students’ speaking skill. Thus, it is suggested for future researchers to conduct a longitudinal study to examine the long-term impact of using YouTube video projects in improving students' speaking skills.

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a Nias culture-based English textbook designed to enrich 21st century skills in vocational high school students. The problem underlying this study is the low relevance of the teaching materials used to the local cultural context making it difficult for them to understand the material in depth. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, the textbook was designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated in terms of feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness. The effectiveness of the product is tested using a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group posttest-only design. The research sample was determined using cluster sampling to represent students in different class groups. Research subjects included an experimental class, control class and an additional school as the dissemination class. Data is collected through expert validation, implementation, questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The validation results showed high feasibility scores from four experts (100% culture and material, 95.55% language, 85.71% design). The developed book was also found to be practical and effective in enhancing students’ 21st-century skills, particularly in communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. The posttest results revealed clear improvements in students’ learning outcomes compared to the control class. Moreover, both teachers and students responded positively, emphasizing the textbook’s relevance to local culture and its usefulness in the learning process. Therefore, the Nias culture-based English textbook can be concluded as a feasible, practical, and effective learning resource that integrates local wisdom, strengthens students’ cultural identity, and fosters essential 21st-century competencies.

Abstract

This community service examines the use of imaginative games in English learning to develop student character through the 6C framework: Collaboration, Communication, Content, Critical Thinking, Creative Innovation, and Self-Confidence. This activity was conducted with seventh grade students at Agios Nikolaus Gunungsitoli Christian Private Junior High School using observation sheets, field notes and student worksheets to analyze the impact of imaginative play on language learning outcomes and character building. The findings showed that most students demonstrated strong collaboration and communication skills, participating effectively in group activities and verbal interactions. Comprehension of materials and critical thinking skills also improved, with 87.5% of students (14 out of 16) showing a strong understanding of English learning materials, including grammar and vocabulary. A total of 68.75% of students (11 out of 16) were able to analyze and solve problems effectively, although further development is needed to improve their critical thinking skills. However, creative innovation was less developed, with only half of the participants actively exploring new ideas. Self-confidence saw a significant improvement, with 81.25% of students (13 out of 16) showing high levels of self-confidence. This reflects the effectiveness of the imaginative play method in helping students feel confident using language. In conclusion, the 6C’s imaginative play effectively supports language acquisition and character education, particularly in enhancing communication, collaboration, and confidence, though additional strategies are needed to further improve creativity and critical thinking. This approach offers a holistic and engaging method for integrating character development into English language learning.
