Abstract

Developing narrative writing skills remains a challenge for EFL learners, particularly in secondary education. This study investigated the effectiveness of storyboarding as an instructional medium to improve narrative writing among tenth-grade students at SMA Swasta Kampus Nommensen Pematangsiantar. A quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups was employed. Forty students were purposively assigned to either an experimental group, which received instruction using storyboard-based activities, or a control group, which received conventional instruction. Narrative writing performance was measured before and after the intervention using a rubric assessing content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze posttest scores while controlling for pretest performance. The ANCOVA results indicated a statistically significant effect of storyboarding on narrative writing outcomes, F(1,37) = 24.57, p .001, partial η² = 0.40. Adjusted posttest means showed that students in the experimental group outperformed those in the control group (M = 78.3 vs. M = 67.9). The effect size was large, with Hedges’ g = 1.12, 95% CI [0.62, 1.62]. These findings suggest that integrating storyboards as visual-verbal planning tools significantly enhances students’ narrative writing, particularly in content development and organization. This study underscores the pedagogical value of interactive media in EFL writing instruction and recommends further research across diverse genres and educational contexts to generalize these results.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of sexist verbal violence on social media through a psycholinguistic lens, focusing on the linguistic forms, communicative functions, and psychological impacts of abusive language directed at women. Triggered by the growing prevalence of gendered hate speech on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, particularly targeting female public figures, this research employs a descriptive qualitative method supported by speech act theory (Austin, 1962; Searle, 1969). A total of 150 comments were analyzed, of which 55 were identified as containing sexist verbal abuse. The findings reveal that these utterances typically involve illocutionary speech acts such as insults, verbal sexual harassment, gender stereotyping, and moral policing. The corresponding perlocutionary effects include emotional harm, such as shame, fear, and diminished self-confidence in the victims. From a psycholinguistic perspective, the production of such language reflects internalized gender bias, affective disinhibition, and the activation of negative cognitive schemas. The study further highlights how digital anonymity and ethical disinhibition enable users to express aggression with minimal accountability. Overall, the results indicate that language is strategically used to exert power and reinforce patriarchal norms within digital discourse. This research underscores the need for greater linguistic awareness, the promotion of digital empathy, and the implementation of more responsive communication ethics in online environments. Creating safer, more inclusive digital spaces requires a multidimensional approach involving education, platform regulation, and cultural change in how language is used and interpreted.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dimotivasi oleh kemampuan mendengarkan siswa yang masih relatif rendah di sekolah Mars terkait apa itu TOEFL dan kurangnya pemahaman tentang keterampilan mendengarkan, terutama dalam memahami audio bahasa Inggris dengan aksen asing, kecepatan tinggi, dan variasi pertanyaan yang kompleks baik secara formal maupun akademis seperti yang umum ditemukan di bagian mendengarkan TOEFL. Kesulitan ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya paparan terhadap pemahaman keterampilan bahasa Inggris, terutama keterampilan mendengarkan yang efektif. Sosialisasi ini melibatkan 70 siswa sebagai peserta yang mengikuti kegiatan sosialisasi, yang dilakukan oleh siswa yang bertindak sebagai fasilitator utama dalam pelatihan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Data diperoleh melalui observasi selama kegiatan, wawancara siswa, dan pemberian penjelasan tentang format TOEFL serta pemberian kiat dan trik dalam menjawab pertanyaan TOEFL dan pemberian tugas audio sebagai pelatihan. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa setelah mengikuti sosialisasi, siswa mulai tertarik pada TOEFL dan lebih memahami keterampilan mendengarkan. Siswa juga menunjukkan peningkatan kepercayaan diri dan motivasi saat mendengarkan audio bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, kegiatan ini menciptakan suasana belajar yang lebih interaktif dan menyenangkan. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan ini diharapkan menjadi model kolaboratif dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran mendengarkan di tingkat sekolah menengah atas dan melalui sosialisasi ini diharapkan siswa akan termotivasi untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kemampuan mereka dalam bahasa Inggris, khususnya dalam keterampilan mendengarkan, agar siap menghadapi era globalisasi yang semakin canggih.

Abstract

The ability to speak and express agreement and disagreement is an important aspect of English communication skills, as accuracy in delivering and responding to opinions directly affects the effectiveness of daily and academic interactions. This activity aims to introduce and train the sixth-semester students of the Management Study Program at STIE Sultan Agung Pematangsiantar in expressing agreement and disagreement appropriately, in both formal and informal contexts. The phenomenon underlying this activity is the students' tendency to only use simple expressions such as "I agree" or "I do not agree" without knowing other richer variations, as well as their difficulty in expressing disagreement politely to avoid conflict in communication. This activity uses a qualitative descriptive method with a presentation and interactive discussion approach. The data source consists of documentation from the presentation activity conducted in the Morning Management B class, Semester VI, at STIE Sultan Agung Pematangsiantar. The instrument used is a PowerPoint-based presentation material prepared by the author, which includes the definition of agreement and disagreement, strong and neutral expressions of agreement, firm and polite expressions of disagreement, and practice questions. Data collection was carried out through direct observation during the presentation, while data analysis was conducted descriptively based on observation notes and audience responses. The results of the activity show that classmates were able to understand and practice various expressions of agreement and disagreement well, as demonstrated by their active participation in discussions and accuracy in answering practice questions. In conclusion, this PowerPoint-based presentation is effective in increasing students' understanding and confidence in conveying and responding to opinions effectively, clearly, and politely in English.

Abstract

In today’s competitive job market, the ability to compose a professional English application letter is essential for university graduates, especially in non-native English-speaking contexts. This study explores the implementation and outcomes of a socialization program designed to enhance the English correspondence skills of sixth-semester Management students at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi (STIE) Sultan Agung, Pematangsiantar, Indonesia. A total of 75–80 students were divided into three groups (Group A, Group B, and Group C) and participated in a series of interactive workshops focused on the structure, language, and personalization of English application letters. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, document analysis of student letters, reflection essays, and post-program questionnaires. The results revealed significant improvements in students’ understanding of letter format, grammar usage, and the ability to tailor content to specific job advertisements. Peer review and collaborative learning played a crucial role in increasing student engagement and confidence in using English professionally. The discussion highlights the importance of genre-based instruction and social learning in developing employability-oriented communication skills. The findings emphasize the need for higher education institutions to embed practical, job-focused English training into their curriculum to better prepare students for real-world career demands. This study concludes that structured socialization programs can effectively equip students with the skills and confidence needed to construct impactful application letters, thereby enhancing their readiness for the job market. With the right support, students can take ownership of their career development, starting with how they present themselves on paper.
