Abstract

This study aims to describe the type of syntactic interference in the translation of Indonesian text into English, where students are given a text containing 300 words to be translated into English. The method used in this research is descriptive with distributional and equivalent studies. The data is taken from the translation of the text which is then analyzed for errors. The results showed that there was a syntactic problem that emerged from the translation results of students. Some of the syntactic interference that was found included reversed English phrase arrangement, parallelization, absence of articles, absence of to be, and lack of passive sentence structure.

Abstract

Kemampuan berbicara di depan umum (public speaking) merupakan keterampilan penting dalam mendukung peran aktif anggota PKK sebagai agen perubahan di lingkungan masyarakat. Namun, hasil observasi awal menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar anggota PKK Desa Kepuhrubuh, Kecamatan Siman, Ponorogo, masih memiliki rasa kurang percaya diri, kesulitan menyusun materi secara sistematis, serta belum memahami teknik komunikasi efektif dalam forum publik. Permasalahan ini berdampak pada rendahnya partisipasi aktif dalam kegiatan desa dan kurang optimalnya penyampaian informasi antaranggota maupun kepada masyarakat luas. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi public speaking anggota PKK melalui program pelatihan yang bersifat partisipatif dan aplikatif. Metode yang digunakan meliputi penyuluhan, simulasi, diskusi kelompok, serta pendampingan praktik langsung. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan observasi kinerja saat praktik. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam aspek kepercayaan diri, struktur penyampaian materi, dan penguasaan teknik komunikasi. Selain itu, partisipasi anggota PKK dalam kegiatan desa menjadi lebih aktif dan terorganisir. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan public speaking yang terstruktur dan didampingi secara intensif dapat menjadi solusi efektif dalam memberdayakan perempuan desa untuk berkomunikasi lebih baik dan berkontribusi lebih luas dalam pembangunan masyarakat.

Abstract

Listening is one of the essential skills in learning English. A person cannot speak or express their opinions without first listening. This research aims to identify the strategies used by lecturers in teaching listening and how these strategies are implemented. Specifically, this study investigates the application of top-down and bottom-up listening strategies. Top-down listening involves using prior knowledge, context, and background information to understand spoken language, while bottom-up listening focuses on decoding sounds, words, and grammatical structures to derive meaning. Understanding how lecturers incorporate these approaches can provide insights into effective listening instruction. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using several instruments, including interviews and documentation. The participants in this study were students from the Department of English Language Education program at Darussalam Gontor University. The findings reveal that the lecturer employs an integrated three-stage approach—pre-, while-, and post-listening—while considering student factors. Pre-listening activates prior knowledge and top-down processing, while-listening combines top-down and bottom-up strategies, and post-listening enhances comprehension through interactive activities. Student motivation, interest, and participation play a crucial role in improving listening comprehension. These insights highlight the importance of a structured approach and learner engagement in teaching listening skills effectively

Abstract

Interactive speaking skills encompass abilities such as agreeing, disagreeing, expressing opinions, clarifying statements, responding to challenges, offering suggestions, reinforcing ideas, and providing accurate information. However, a preliminary study revealed a lack of interactive engagement during English lessons, leading to minimal student participation. This research examines how teachers utilize interactive speaking strategies for effective pronunciation instruction and evaluates students’ pronunciation skills. Conducted as a qualitative case study with eighth-grade English teachers, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation. The analysis was descriptive, with results presented in narrative form rather than numerical data. Triangulation methods helped verify the trustworthiness of the data. The findings indicate that, although the teacher assigns dialogue-based tasks aimed at promoting interaction, several key elements of interactive speaking theory are not implemented, limiting classroom interaction. This shortcoming diminishes the effectiveness of pronunciation teaching and negatively affects the overall quality of English language education.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of the Daily English Songs program at Pesantren Walisongo Ngabar Female Campus during the 2024/2025 academic year. It addresses the need for effective, contextually relevant strategies to strengthen English proficiency within an Islamic boarding school environment in which global communication skills must be balanced with religious education. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, involving ten students from grades one through six selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews and observations. The analysis followed the Miles and Huberman framework, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Findings indicate that the program is an engaging method for supporting language learning. Students perceived the songs as effective tools for enhancing vocabulary acquisition, improving pronunciation, and providing entertainment to alleviate the monotony of dormitory life. While positive perceptions dominated, some students reported boredom due to the repetitive playback of the same songs, suggesting a need for more frequent rotation of material. The outcomes underscore the importance of creative educational media in a pesantren setting. By using songs with Islamic themes, the program successfully integrates international language mastery without compromising spiritual values. The study concludes that daily exposure to English music facilitates natural language internalization and increases students’ motivation.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Make a Match technique in improving EFL students’ mastery of simple present and simple past tense sentence structures. It employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group to test the impact of the technique on EFL students’ grammar performance. The participants consisted of 64 fourth-grade students at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor for Girls Campus 3, divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests instruments which had been validated and demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha=0.897). Nonparametric statistical techniques, such as the Mann-Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, were eventually used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that students in the experimental group improved far more than those in the control group. The effect size (r = 0.41) showed that the Make a Match method had a moderate to substantial impact on students' grammar competency. This study confirmed that the Make a Match method was practical relevance for EFL classrooms by greatly improving EFL students' grammatical accuracy and engagement of the simple present and simple past tenses. This work offers to the literature and has practical implications for teaching grammar in Islamic educational contexts through cooperative learning methodologies.
