Abstract

This research aims at finding out the use of crossword puzzle in improving vocabulary mastery at seven grade students of SMP Negeri 10 Palu. This research applied a quasi-experimental design, in which there were two groups, an experimental and a control group. Seven grade E was the experimental group, while seven grade F was the control group. This research involved 50 students of SMP Negeri 10 Palu. The samples of this research were taken from the population of grade seven students by using a purposive sampling technique. The researcher used tests as the instrument for collecting data. The tests were divided into two; pre-test and post-test which were given to the experimental and control group. The treatment was conducted six times and was given to the experimental group by using a crossword puzzle, while the control group used the other technique. The data obtained from the test were analysed statistically. From the analysis, there was a difference between the achievement of the experimental (85.5) and the control group (44.2). It was based on the hypothesis testing done, by using 0.05 level of significance and 48 degrees of freedom (df), the researcher found that t-counted (6.08) is higher than t-table (2.0126). It means that the hypothesis (Ha) is accepted or in other words, the use of crossword puzzles has a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes in learning vocabulary.

Abstract

The police code of ethics is regulated in the Chief of Police Regulation (Perkap) no. 14 of 2011, namely Personality Ethics; is the moral attitude of Polri members towards their profession based on the call of worship as religious people, State Ethics; is the moral attitude of Polri members who uphold the ideological and constitutional foundations of the Republic of Indonesia, namely Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Institutional Ethics; is the moral attitude of Polri members towards the institution which is a place of devotion and should be upheld as a physical and spiritual bond of all Bhayangkara people with all their dignity and honor. But in reality, many police officers commit violations, especially serious violations, such as domestic violence, LGBT, sexual harassment, violence and other criminal acts. Therefore, this encourages the author to analyze the sanctions for violators of the serious code of ethics in the Police. The research method used is empirical normative, namely juxtaposing the rules with the facts in the field, and the normative juridical method, namely the library approach method by studying statutory books and other legal scientific works. This legal research found that the application of sanctions for serious violators of the code of ethics must go through procedures that have been determined in the code of ethics regulations.

Abstract

Differentiated Learning has emerged as an educational strategy designed to accommodate the diverse characteristics, interests, readiness, and learning styles of students. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of differentiated learning and the challenges faced by English teachers in teaching writing skills. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation analysis. The research was conducted at SMPN 1 Palu, involving one English teacher and 31 eighth-grade students, with in-depth interviews conducted with three selected students and the teacher. The findings revealed that the teacher applied differentiation in four areas: content, process, product, and learning environment. Students were given varied materials tailored to their readiness levels, engaged in flexible group activities, and allowed to demonstrate understanding through multiple formats. These practices supported students' active participation, increased motivation, and fostered creativity in the writing process. Moreover, the teacher created a supportive and adaptive classroom environment that encouraged collaboration and comfort. However, the study also highlighted challenges, such as limited resources, difficulties addressing students with special needs, and the complexity of planning differentiated tasks. Despite these barriers, differentiated learning significantly enhanced the quality of English writing class in alignment with the Merdeka Belajar curriculum

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

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.

Abstract

Grammar mastery is considered an important foundation in constructing proper and communicative sentences. Based on that, this study aimed to find out whether there is a correlation between students' mastery of grammar and their speaking ability. This research used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of 31 grade X students who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that there was a high correlation between students' grammar mastery and their speaking ability. The significance value of 0.000 is below the significance level of 0.05, and the correlation coefficient (r) value of 0.776 is greater than the r table value, which is 0.3550. This means the alternative hypothesis is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected. It is shown that the higher the students' mastery of grammar, the better their speaking ability. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between students’ grammar mastery and students’ speaking skills of the tenth-grade students at MAN 2 Palu in the academic year 2024/2025.
