Abstract

This study aimed to 1) describe the types of speech acts used by members of the English Students Association (ESA), and 2) explore the communication strategies applied within the association. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with 20 ESA members as the subjects. The data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The findings revealed that the members of ESA employed locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts in their daily communication. Common speech acts identified included warning, requesting, inviting, suggesting, promising, refusal, and commanding. Furthermore, communication strategies such as politeness—both positive and negative—were evident, with members often using direct and indirect forms of communication to achieve their goals. The results also indicated that ESA members were interested in and actively engaged in utilizing speech acts and communication strategies in their interactions. This was evidenced by the average questionnaire score of 82.30, categorized as high interest. The findings suggest that understanding and applying speech acts and communication strategies enhance the effectiveness of communication within the organization.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Pre-Reading Plan (PREP) strategy in enhancing reading comprehension among eighth-grade students at SMPN 3 Panca Rijang. Employing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest method, the research involved 20 students and one English teacher as participants. Data collection included pretests, posttests, and questionnaires, analyzed through qualitative and quantitative methods. Results indicated significant improvements in students' reading comprehension post-implementation of the PREP strategy, with the percentage of students meeting the minimum completeness criteria increasing from 35% to 70%. Additionally, students exhibited higher engagement levels during learning activities, and the teacher's performance in classroom management improved. Many students expressed a positive interest in the PREP strategy. These findings support the conclusion that the PREP strategy effectively enhances reading comprehension among students. It is recommended that the PREP strategy be adopted more widely to foster improved reading skills in English language learning contexts, as it encourages students to activate prior knowledge and engage more deeply with the reading material. Overall, this research highlights the importance of interactive and student-centered teaching strategies in improving reading comprehension and fostering a positive learning environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of logo symbolism in shaping the identity and communication strategies of State Islamic Universities (UINs) in Central Java, Indonesia. Logos serve as powerful visual representations of an institution's identity, blending cultural and religious values. Despite their importance, there is limited research on the semiotic analysis of UIN logos, particularly in terms of integrating Islamic identity with local cultural heritage. This research examines the challenges faced by the Towani Tolotang community in Indonesia, focusing on gender stereotypes, cultural conservatism, and economic barriers to higher education, especially for women. The Towani Tolotang community’s adherence to traditional values often creates a conflict between higher education and cultural preservation, limiting educational opportunities. Gender expectations and economic limitations further exacerbate this issue, with women’s education often deprioritized and financial constraints hindering access to higher education. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing semiotic analysis based on Charles Peirce's theory and Cerrato’s color theory. Data was gathered through documentation techniques from online repositories, focusing on logos from five UINs in Central Java. Findings indicate that these logos incorporate Islamic values while reflecting local cultural heritage, using symbols such as gunungan, flowers, and specific color schemes (green, white, yellow, orange, gold, and black). These logos not only embody cultural preservation but also promote progressive Islamic education. The study underscores the significance of logo symbolism in reinforcing institutional identity, enhancing public perception, and boosting the competitiveness of UINs globally.

Abstract

The integration of digital literacy into educational practices has garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly in the context of language learning. Digital literacy refers to the ability to effectively and critically navigate, evaluate, and create information using various digital technologies. Given its growing importance, this study sought to evaluate the impact of digital literacy competence on improving English language skills through blended learning in the Independent Campus Program at Ichsan Sidenreng Rappang University. Employing a quantitative experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, the study gathered data through English language tests and questionnaires. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ English skills, with the pretest average score of 31.7 rising to 84.7 in the posttest. The Paired Sample t-test confirmed the statistical significance of this difference (p-value = 0.000). Additionally, the Pearson correlation test revealed a moderate positive relationship between digital literacy and English proficiency (r = 0.456), indicating that students with higher digital literacy competencies tended to perform better in English. These findings underscore the significant role that digital literacy plays in enhancing language skills, particularly when integrated with technology-based learning approaches. For future research, further studies could explore the long-term impact of digital literacy on language acquisition, the effectiveness of various digital tools in language learning, and how digital literacy interacts with other factors, such as motivation and learning styles, to influence language proficiency. Additionally, expanding the research to include diverse educational settings and student populations could provide a broader understanding of digital literacy’s role in language education.

Abstract

Globalization has had a significant impact on people's lifestyles, including diminishing the younger generation’s appreciation for the noble cultural values of local traditions, such as the Bugis culture in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This community service program aims to identify and strengthen the noble values of the Bugis local wisdom through the Butterfly Effect and Ripple Effect approaches in shaping the character of Generation Z. Cultural values such as honesty (lempu'), intelligence (amaccang), propriety (assitinajang), resilience (agettengeng), effort (reso), and the principle of shame (siri') serve as the main foundation implemented in culturally-based educational activities. The Butterfly Effect approach involves key individuals as cultural ambassadors to spread these values through small actions that create a significant impact, while the Ripple Effect spreads positive influence continuously through community-based programs. Through intergenerational mentoring programs, folk tale competitions, traditional art performances, and culture-based skills training, the youth of Sidenreng Rappang are encouraged to apply local values in their daily lives. The results of this community service show that the application of these two approaches can enhance pride in local culture and strengthen the character of Generation Z, making them more resilient in facing the challenges of the times without losing their cultural roots

Abstract

Psychological well-being (PWB) is increasingly recognized as a critical determinant of academic success. Despite extensive focus on cognitive and behavioral predictors, the direct role of PWB particularly its multidimensional aspects remains underexplored. This study investigates whether PWB directly predicts academic performance among university students, independent of motivational mediators. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 365 undergraduate students across various disciplines. Ryff’s 42-item Psychological Well-Being Scale was used to assess PWB, while academic outcomes were measured through self-reported GPA and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale–Student Version (UWES-S). Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression techniques. Findings indicate that PWB significantly predicts both GPA (β = 0.35, p < .001) and academic engagement (β = 0.40, p < .001). Subdimensions such as purpose in life and self-acceptance emerged as the most influential predictors. The model demonstrated strong construct validity (CFI = 0.94; RMSEA = 0.045). These results suggest that PWB operates as a direct driver of academic outcomes and not merely as a background variable or a mediator via motivation. Psychological well-being is a robust and independent predictor of academic performance. Interventions that enhance purpose in life and self-acceptance could significantly benefit student achievement. These findings advocate integrating well-being into academic support strategies, indicating a shift in how educational success is conceptualized.
