Abstract

This study aims to investigate English teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of the Student-Centered Approach (SCA) in English language teaching at the junior high school level. The Student-Centered Approach emphasizes the active role of students in the learning process, encouraging greater student autonomy, creativity, collaboration, and engagement in the classroom. In contrast to traditional teacher-centered methods, SCA shifts the focus from the teacher to the students, allowing them to take responsibility for their own learning. This research employed a qualitative method involving interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The participants in this study were six English teachers at Sukma Bangsa Pidie Schools, a private School in Aceh, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes in the teachers’ responses. The results showed that most teachers had a positive perception of the Student-Centered Approach and had implemented various strategies such as group discussions, project-based learning, student presentations, and interactive games. However, several challenges were also identified, including limited time, lack of teaching resources, large class sizes, and varying levels of student motivation and proficiency. Despite these challenges, the teachers believed that the Student-Centered Approach was effective in increasing student participation and improving language skills. The study suggests the need for continuous professional development to support teachers in applying student-centered practices more effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of informal digital learning of English (IDLE) among students engaged in independent online learning environments. Focusing on practices for students’ language development, this study explores how students autonomously acquire English language skills through informal digital means and examines the implications. It employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews to collect and analyse data from a diverse group of independent online learners of English (N= 182) from 23 different Indonesian universities. Quantitative data reveals that approximately 45.1% of the variation in self-regulated language learning can be explained with informal digital learning of English identified as one of the predictors. On the other hand, qualitative data findings indicate that students actively engage in IDLE through a variety of digital channels, including social media, online forums, language learning apps, and YouTube tutorials. These informal learning activities encompass a wide range of language skills, from vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation improvement to cultural understanding and conversational proficiency. Implications of this research point to the importance of recognising and harnessing students’ IDLE practices in formal educational settings. Educators and institutions can leverage these insights to design more effective online language learning programmes that incorporate elements of informal digital learning.

Abstract

This program aims to evaluate the effectiveness of community empowerment as a strategy for preventing Dengue Fever (DBD) in Puuk Village, Aceh. A mixed-method approach was applied, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative techniques such as focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. The intervention program included training, counseling, environmental clean-ups, and participatory workshops. Results showed a significant increase in community knowledge and awareness regarding DBD, accompanied by improved preventive behaviors such as eliminating mosquito breeding sites and using repellents. Cross-sectoral coordination between health workers, community leaders, and local organizations further enhanced program outcomes, although limited resources and uneven information access remained challenges. The findings highlight that participatory empowerment can effectively change health behaviors and reduce DBD risk. The study implies that this model could be replicated in other regions, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, innovation, and sustainability in community-based health interventions.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots have been widely integrated into English learning and teaching, but qualitative evidence portraying the students’ engagements and the socio-behavior factors shaping the engagement remains scarce. Guided by the theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this narrative inquiry investigated student engagement in English language learning facilitated by AI chatbots. This study explores the lived experiences and perceptions of fifteen participants enrolled in a private Islamic higher education institution in Aceh, Indonesia. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were selected to explore students’ attitudes, social influences, and perceived behavioral control. Thematic analysis with coding aligned to TPB constructs (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) and engagement dimensions (behavioral, cognitive, and emotional) was applied. Additionally, this study emphasizes the importance of considering sociocultural contexts and user experience in the design and implementation of AI-driven educational tools. The findings support previous research highlighting the importance of user attitudes, social influences, and perceived control in shaping students’ engagements with technology in educational contexts. The insights gleaned from this research contribute to the broader discourse on technology-mediated language learning and inform strategies for enhancing student engagement in English language education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a multimodal approach in improving students' language learning comprehension and communication skills. The multimodal approach integrates various modalities, such as text, images, sound, video, and digital technology, compared to the monomodal method which only uses one modality. This study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups, namely the control group and the experimental group, with a total of 60 students. The instruments used included pre-test and post-test, student perception questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the experimental group taught with a multimodal approach experienced a significant increase in language comprehension, averaging 25%, while the control group increased by only 10%. In addition, students who used the multimodal approach reported higher levels of motivation and engagement in the learning process. Observations showed that technology plays an important role in creating an interactive and dynamic learning environment. However, there are challenges related to equitable access to technology among students. In conclusion, the multimodal approach proved more effective at improving students' language comprehension and communication skills than the monomodal method. This study recommends developing technological infrastructure, providing teacher training, and integrating multimodality into the curriculum to maximize the benefits of this method.
