Abstract

The concept of learning styles proposing the alignment of teaching methods and individual learning styles to enhance learning outcomes has gained popularity among English language teachers. However, numerous studies have debunked the concept by exposing weaknesses in the instruments used to measure learning styles and the underlying hypothesis. Therefore, there is a need for more research focusing on the merits and demerits of implementing learning styles theory in EFL classroom instruction. This study is presented to provide empirical understanding into the issue by presenting the latest research findings and providing recommendations for EFL teachers. To achieve this aim, the researchers conduct a literature review by collecting data from various document references and theories supporting the research. The literature was collected from journal articles published in the last five years, from 2018 to 2023. Based on the review, some studies confirmed that tailoring teaching methods to individual learning styles contributed to improved learning outcomes for EFL students. Conversely, other research has shown no significant or consistent correlation between teaching-specific learning styles and students' achievement. To address this disparity, the present study suggested that foreign language teachers maximize teaching-learning by considering several factors rather than one, such as teaching strategy, students' interpersonal orientations, knowledge, students' background, and interests. Teachers can balance instructional approaches, methods, and activities and apply various teaching strategies to reach all learners.

Abstract

Integrating technology into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction is essential for adapting to rapid technological advancements, and Canva offers significant potential in this area. However, research on Canva has mainly focused on general English instruction, with limited examination of its application in ESP. This study explores how vocational secondary school teachers used Canva to teach biographical recount texts in an ESP context, along with the rationale behind this choice. A qualitative study was conducted at SMKN 13 Malang, West Java, within the Merchant Nautical Ship Department. Data were collected through classroom observation and interviews with an experienced English teacher. Observations revealed the structured steps of using Canva to teach biographical recount texts, enabling more active students’ participation in class. Canva was chosen for its practical benefits, including students’ familiarity with the platform, ready-to-use templates, and the potential to boost students’ creativity, all of which support its effective use in vocational education.

Abstract

Distress spiritual merupakan kondisi yang sering muncul pada pasien yang mengalami krisis eksistensial, ditandai dengan perasaan tidak berdaya, kehilangan makna hidup, dan putus asa, terutama pada penderita penyakit kronis maupun terminal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas terapi dzikir dalam mengatasi distress spiritual pada pasien. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain Literature review dengan terapi dzikir sebagai fokus intervensi. Artikel penelitian dikumpulkan melalui basis data Google Scholar, PubMed, dan Garuda Kemdikbud. Dari ketiga basis data tersebut diperoleh 521 artikel penelitian nasional maupun internasional dengan rentang publikasi tahun 2020 hingga 2025. Berdasarkan hasil telaah, seluruh artikel yang dianalisis menunjukkan bahwa terapi dzikir memberikan pengaruh signifikan dalam menurunkan gejala distress spiritual. Intervensi dzikir terbukti efektif pada pasien dengan gangguan jiwa seperti skizofrenia, perilaku kekerasan, halusinasi, hingga pasien dengan penyakit terminal. Terapi dzikir terbukti efektif sebagai intervensi keperawatan untuk mengurangi distress spiritual, sehingga dapat dijadikan salah satu pendekatan non-farmakologis dalam praktik keperawatan.
