Abstract

At the Senior High School level, English language competence becomes increasingly vital, particularly in the face of globalization issues. English in school is not only a classroom subject; it is also a means of communication skill.

It was found that the environment, the curriculum, and the roles of teachers as well as the students are interrelated in supporting the use of English in the school environment. It is intended that these systems will reinforce one another, promoting harmony in the classroom and the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

Acquiring a foreign language necessitates navigating practical situations that transcend linguistic and cultural barriers. Therefore, it is the teachers’ responsibility to develop these abilities. However, teachers rarely do so in a foreign language (FL) teaching. Integrating culture into the process of language teaching becomes crucial. Utilizing the textbook is one method to incorporate culture into the FL classroom, as it contains cultural material and linguistics.  Limited research has been devoted to pedagogical analysis compared to the extensive concentration on content analysis in ELT textbook studies. The study aims to examine the teachers’ approaches to cultural depictions in an international English for Foreign Language (EFL) textbook, intending to educate students on a global worldview. The present study employed a qualitative research method with a case study design. The study recruited two junior high school English teachers who taught seventh-grade students at a private school in East Java, Indonesia. These teachers had incorporated cultural elements into their teaching. The instruments used to accomplish the research purpose were observation and post-observation interviews. The study's findings have verified that teachers utilized a comparative approach in presenting foreign cultural elements from the supplementary book to enhance English language learning. Exploring the students’ culture and contrasting it with foreign cultures has the potential to inspire greater participation from students in classroom activities. Using this strategy enables students to develop their English language proficiency in both linguistic and cultural aspects.

Specific Background: In Gedangan Village, Pasuruan Regency, high rates of stunting, poor maternal nutrition, and the prevalence of early marriage have been identified as key challenges. Existing interventions have lacked comprehensive, community-based approaches to stunting prevention. Knowledge Gap: There is a need for scalable models that combine education, digital tools, and community involvement to effectively address stunting at the local level. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the SI TUTI (Anti-Stunting Literacy) Based Women's School Program, designed to empower women through education and digital resources to reduce stunting rates. Results: The program involved PKK Cadres, Posyandu, and Aisyiyah Branch Members, with the SI TUTI mini book and ASTUTI application as key tools. Post-training assessments showed a 30% increase in participants' understanding of stunting, with a 95% satisfaction rate regarding educational materials and media. The use of digital tools facilitated improved access to health information. Novelty: This program integrates traditional education methods with digital innovations, offering a replicable model that addresses stunting at the grassroots level, enhancing community engagement through localized content and accessible health literacy tools. Implications: The program demonstrates potential for broader application in similar rural contexts, contributing to the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals related to public health and well-being. Future efforts will focus on program expansion and continuous evaluation to ensure long-term sustainability and effectiveness in stunting prevention.

Abstract

English, as an international language, plays a crucial role in global communication, with listening skills being essential for effective learning. However, challenges remain in engaging students in listening comprehension. This study aims to evaluate the use of the Disney movie 'Luca' as a tool for improving listening skills among seventh-grade students at SMPN Tanggulangin.

Findings reveal a significant enhancement in listening comprehension post-intervention, evidenced by a p-value of 0.000, indicating that the null hypothesis is rejected. The study demonstrates that incorporating movies into the learning process not only aids in comprehension but also creates a more relaxed and enjoyable learning environment for students. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on integrating popular media into language education, addressing a gap in effective listening instruction. As a result, this study suggests that educators should routinely integrate film technology into language learning to foster better listening skills among students, thereby enriching their educational experience. Highlights: Significant Improvement: The study found a notable enhancement in listening comprehension after using the Disney movie 'Luca' as a learning tool. Engaging Learning Environment: Incorporating movies made the learning process more enjoyable and relaxed for students. Recommendations for Educators: The research suggests integrating film technology into language education to improve students' listening skills consistently.
