Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out the effectiveness of using comic strip toward writing ability in making descriptive text. The research belongs to experimental research. The population of this research is the eighth grade of SMPN 7 Ambon consisting 210 students. The researchers took 60 students as the samples and the samples were divided into control group (VIII 3) consists of 30 students and experimental group (VIII 2) consists of 30 students. The researchers conducted testing to get the data (pre-test and post-test) in control group and experimental group. The researchers used descriptive and inferential analysis to analyze the data. The descriptive analysis shows that the result of experimental group shows that in pre-test, the mean is 37.20, the standard deviation is 22.69, and the highest category belongs to very poor category with 53.3% (16 students). While in the post-test the mean is 60.60, the standard deviation is 27.47, and the highest category belongs to very good category with 30.0% (9 students). Meanwhile, the result of control group shows that in pre-test, the mean is 43.26, the standard deviation is 28.20, and the highest category belongs to very poor category with 40.0% (12 students). While in the post-test, the mean is 48.16, the standard deviation is 19.12, and the highest category belongs to fair category with 50.0% (15 students). It means the hypothesis is accepted. There is a significance difference between the students taught using comic strip in making descriptive and those taught without using comic strip in making descriptive text in the eighth grade of SMPN 7 Ambon.

Abstract

Background: In Japanese higher education, the integration of English through English-Medium Instruction (EMI) poses both opportunities and challenges for international students, particularly those from non-English-speaking backgrounds. Aims: This study explores the experiences of Indonesian students in using English for academic purposes in Japanese universities, focusing on their views, challenges, and adaptation strategies. Methods: Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with five Indonesian postgraduate students studying across diverse academic backgrounds in various universities in Japan. Document analysis was also conducted to support the interview data. Results: This study revealed that English is essential for accessing academic resources and engaging in international interactions. However, students still face challenges in pronunciation, academic writing, vocabulary, presentation norms, and expressing ideas confidently and clearly. They use various strategies such as self-directed learning, digital tools, peer interaction, and institutional support to adapt. Implications: The study highlights the need for more inclusive EMI policies and better language support services in Japanese universities. It also emphasises that language learning in EMI contexts is socially, culturally, and emotionally complex, requiring internal motivation, social interaction, and institutional responsiveness.

This study uses a quantitative approach to the type of correlation design. The population in this study were all class XI at MAN 2 Bukittinggi consisting of 10 classes with a sample consisting of 71 students taken through a purposive technique. Data collection is done through questionnaires and tests. Students were asked to fill out a questionnaire related to their interest in speaking. The speaking data was taken from tests conducted in class. Researchers used SPSS for 20 windows to manage the data. The researcher used the Person Product Moment formula to determine the direction of the correlation and the magnitude of the correlation between students' interest in speaking and student achievement. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between students' interest in speaking and the achievement of speaking skills in class XI MAN 2 Bukittinggi in the 2020/2021 school year. The researcher found that the correlation coefficient between students' interest in speaking and the achievement of speaking skills in class XI MAN 2 Bukittinggi is 0.508. The correlation was positive and significant. This means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, there is a positive relationship between students' interest in speaking and the achievement of speaking skills in class XI MAN 2 Bukittinggi. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the higher the student's interest in speaking, the better the achievement of speaking skills.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chatbots are computer programs designed to simulate human conversation and offer interactive, personalized learning experiences. This quantitative study investigated the effectiveness of an AI Chatbot (implemented using the website platform https://www.aichatting.net) in improving students' vocabulary mastery at SMP Negeri 01 Dapurang Pasangkayu, Indonesia. The study employed a quasi-experimental design, comparing an experimental class (8B, n = 25) that utilized the AI Chatbot with a control class (8B, n = 25) that employed a conventional teaching method. The intervention was conducted over six sessions across three weeks, from April 26 to May 19, 2025. Students completed pre-tests and post-tests to assess vocabulary mastery. The experimental class mean score increased from 31.60 to 76.00 (gain = 44.40; Cohen’s d = 4.71), while the control class improved from 32.00 to 46.00 (gain = 14.00; Cohen’s d = 1.43). An independent samples t-test on post-test scores revealed a statistically significant difference between the classes, t (48) = 12.42, p < .0001, with a 95% confidence interval of \ [25.27, 34.73]. These results confirm that the AI chatbot had a substantial impact on vocabulary mastery in practice. While the study supports the potential of AI chatbots as effective vocabulary-learning tools in junior high school settings, it also acknowledges the limitations of the quasi-experimental design and recommends further research using randomized controlled trials.

Abstract

Kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu komoditas utama Indonesia yang memberikan kontribusi besar terhadap ekonomi nasional. Namun, di balik potensi ekonominya, industri ini menghadapi tantangan lingkungan dan sosial yang signifikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak kelapa sawit terhadap lingkungan dan masyarakat, serta mengeksplorasi solusi untuk pengelolaan yang lebih berkelanjutan. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur, dengan mengumpulkan data dari berbagai sumber sekunder, termasuk jurnal ilmiah, laporan pemerintah, dan dokumen organisasi non-pemerintah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ekspansi kelapa sawit telah menyebabkan deforestasi, degradasi lahan, serta konflik sosial, terutama terkait kepemilikan lahan dan hak-hak masyarakat adat. Solusi yang diusulkan dalam literatur meliputi penerapan sertifikasi keberlanjutan, seperti RSPO dan ISPO, serta penggunaan teknologi modern untuk meningkatkan produktivitas tanpa merusak lingkungan. Diperlukan kolaborasi antara pemerintah, industri, dan masyarakat untuk memastikan kelapa sawit dapat dikelola secara berkelanjutan dan berkontribusi pada pembangunan yang inklusif
