This study aims 1) to compare the speaking performance of university students who graduated from Islamic boarding school and public school-based senior high schools and 2) to investigate the potential factors affecting the difference of their speaking performance. First year students of a State Islamic University in Lampung - Indonesia participated as the subjects of research. The data of students’ speaking performance was obtained from the documentation of students’ speaking entrance test score. Then, a semi-closed-ended questionnaire investigating the curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular programs in their previous high schools covering the sorts, the frequency, and the duration of the activities was distributed to disclose the underlying reasons of the speaking performance differences. The results revealed that generally the Islamic boarding school-based senior high school graduates’ speaking performance is slightly better than the public-based one with a minor difference on the five aspects of speaking assessment. The former showed better achievement in fluency, vocabulary and comprehension, whereas the latter got better result in grammar and pronunciation. Dissimilar variations of the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities at both types of school and the frequency of the activities might be the potential factors affecting the differences.

Youth unemployment is a growing concern in North Sumatra, exacerbated by a skills mismatch between the workforce and industry needs. Despite the region's rich cultural heritage and abundant natural resources, especially in tourism, these sectors remain underdeveloped. The purpose of this study is to explore how cultural and tourism industries can help alleviate youth unemployment in North Sumatra. Data was collected through surveys and a review of literature, highlighting a lack of vocational training in relevant areas, particularly in hospitality and cultural preservation. Results indicate that the tourism and cultural sectors have untapped potential for job creation. However, without targeted vocational training and collaboration between the government and private sector, this potential will remain unrealized. The discussion focuses on addressing the skills gap and integrating cultural heritage into tourism to create sustainable employment opportunities. In conclusion, strategic investment in vocational education, alongside the promotion of cultural tourism, can significantly reduce unemployment while preserving North Sumatra’s unique cultural identity.

This study aims to examine the implementation of the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework in teaching reading skills within an English Language Teaching (ELT) context at SMKN 1 Percut Sei Tuan. The research explores how the teacher facilitates the reading learning activity in ELT using technology. A qualitative approach was employed, using classroom observations, teacher interviews, and video recordings to gather data. The findings reveal that the teacher utilized e-books, online dictionaries, and group chats effectively to support learning. These tools provided accessible materials and encouraged collaboration, improving students’ engagement and comprehension. Pedagogical strategies, such as guiding students through analytical exposition texts and employing 5W+1H questioning, helped develop critical reading skills. The teacher connected reading activities to real-world issues, making lessons relevant and engaging. Despite these strengths, the study identified areas for improvement. Limited use of multimedia and the lack of vocationally specific content reduced the alignment of lessons with students’ professional interests. Additionally, low motivation among students and challenges with digital literacy hindered the optimal use of technology. The study concludes that while TPACK supports teaching reading skills, incorporating advanced technologies and vocationally relevant materials is essential for improving engagement and learning outcomes in vocational education.

This study investigates the use of metaphorical euphemisms in Instagram comments related to Anies Baswedan, a prominent figure in Indonesian politics. The aim is to analyze how netizens use euphemisms to navigate sensitive political discourse in a digital context. Metaphorical euphemisms, defined as expressions that soften or reframe controversial or harsh topics, play a significant role in managing political expression. The research uses a qualitative content analysis approach to examine 15 Instagram comments, categorizing euphemisms into three types: analogy, distortion, and borrowing (Allan & Burridge, 2020). The findings reveal that distortion euphemisms were most common (46.67%), followed by analogy euphemisms (40%) and borrowing euphemisms (13.33%). Distortion euphemisms often reframed negative political situations in a more acceptable or humorous light, while analogy euphemisms employed vivid comparisons to communicate complex ideas in a relatable manner. Borrowing euphemisms utilized terms from other contexts to soften their meaning. The study emphasizes the importance of these linguistic strategies in fostering constructive dialogue while mitigating conflict in politically polarized environments. The findings contribute to understanding how euphemisms function in digital political communication, revealing the creativity of netizens in expressing their views. This research offers insights into the role of language in shaping public opinion and engagement in the digital age.

Studi ini menggali pengalaman dan perspektif guru mengenai pengajaran reflektif, sebuah praktik penilaian diri yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan dua orang guru, tanggapan mereka dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis tematik. Kedua guru mengakui pentingnya pengajaran reflektif dalam meningkatkan metode pengajaran dan pembelajaran siswa. Namun, mereka juga menunjukkan tantangan seperti keterbatasan waktu dan tidak adanya pendekatan terstruktur untuk pengajaran reflektif. Studi ini menggarisbawahi perlunya dukungan yang lebih banyak, termasuk lokakarya atau pelatihan rutin, bimbingan, dan pengurangan beban kerja administratif. Pengaruh lingkungan sekolah dalam mendorong pengajaran reflektif juga ditekankan. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun pengajaran reflektif dihargai dan dianggap bermanfaat, ada beberapa kendala dalam penerapannya secara penuh. Mengatasi tantangan-tantangan ini dan memberikan lebih banyak dukungan dapat mendorong pengajaran reflektif di antara para guru, yang mengarah pada peningkatan praktik pengajaran dan hasil belajar siswa.

The process of converting words from one language to another is known as translation. It holds a considerable part in almost every element of human life. Considering its increasing importance, the quality of the translated result must be improved. In reality, translation errors are often committed by translators. This research aims to determine the types of errors and the causes. The researchers conducted content analysis research and evaluated various studies on translation errors and their causes to obtain the data. The researchers found that translators' primary types of errors are grammatical, lexical, syntactic, and faithfulness errors. The causes of errors that the researchers found are the translator's lack of understanding of the target language's structure. Besides, culturally-bound words contributed as one of the causes of a translation error. Keywords: translation, error types, and error causes
