Abstract

This study examines the influence of Home Atmosphere and EFL Interest on Students' Performance in Writing Final Projects. The research aims to understand how these factors contribute to students' success in academic writing within an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. A sample of 150 EFL students participated in the study, completing surveys measuring their home atmosphere, interest in EFL, and writing performance. The study employed a quantitative approach, utilizing correlation analysis and multiple regression. Results indicate strong positive correlations between Home Atmosphere and Writing Performance (r = 0.68), and between EFL Interest and Writing Performance (r = 0.75). Multiple regression analysis revealed that both Home Atmosphere (β = 3.2, p < 0.001) and EFL Interest (β = 4.1, p < 0.001) significantly predict Writing Performance. The model explains 72% of the variance in Writing Performance (R-squared = 0.72). These findings suggest that both a conducive home environment and a high level of interest in EFL play crucial roles in students' ability to write effective final projects. The study contributes to the understanding of factors influencing academic writing in EFL contexts and provides implications for educational practices and policies aimed at improving students' writing performance.

Abstract

Coffee was a high-value plantation commodity in Indonesia, contributing significantly to farmers' income and the national economy. However, increased coffee production also generated coffee skin waste that was often discarded, creating challenges in organic waste management. This study aimed to process coffee skin waste into eco-enzyme through fermentation process, which could be utilised as organic fertiliser and natural cleaner. For four months, organoleptic observations were made on the eco-enzyme produced, including, colour, pH, volume, and texture. Results showed that the colour of the solution transitioned from light brown to dark brown. pH decreased from 7 to 4 as microbial activity increased. The volume of the solution decreased from 500 mL to 240 mL due to gas release during fermentation. These findings suggested that processing coffee skin waste not only reduced environmental pollution but also increased the economic value of coffee industry by-products. This study provided insight into the potential for sustainable utilisation of coffee waste and supported environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
