Abstract

This study investigates the enhancement of English writing assessments focusing on local cuisine as a thematic subject. A comprehension test was employed as a key instrument to measure students' progress and evaluate their understanding of the lessons delivered. Following the test administration, the teacher utilized appropriate assessment methods to ensure accurate evaluation. The primary objective of this research is to develop and refine writing assessments for English language learners, particularly within the context of local culinary topics. The study adopted a Research and Development (R&D) approach, structured into six distinct stages: (1) information and data collection, (2) data analysis, (3) development of new writing assessments, (4) expert validation, (5) revision of assessments, and (6) finalization of the validated tool. Data was gathered through interviews and questionnaires distributed to English teachers. Two evaluators—an English lecturer and an English instructor—provided critical validation of the assessment tools. The evaluation framework emphasized three core competencies: attitude, knowledge, and skill, incorporating a formative and authentic assessment approach. The writing tasks centered on topics such as local dishes, pastries, and beverages, integrating cultural elements into language learning. The assessment instruments underwent validation by two professionals, yielding an excellent classification score of 93%, indicating the reliability and effectiveness of the developed tools. The study underscores the significance of culturally relevant content in English language learning, fostering deeper engagement and contextual understanding among students. By integrating local cuisine into writing assessments, the research highlights the potential to enhance both linguistic competence and cultural awareness, promoting a more holistic educational experience.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop digital learning materials that integrate local wisdom and character education for the Receptive Oral Language Skills course in the English Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Medan. Using a Research and Development (R&D) model, the study followed several stages: preliminary study, needs analysis, material design, expert validation, revision, and final product development. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and expert evaluation forms, and analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively to assess the materials’ quality and feasibility. The developed digital materials were designed to enhance students’ receptive oral skills while embedding character values and local cultural elements from North Sumatra. Expert validation, conducted by specialists in English education, instructional media, and local culture, evaluated linguistic quality, learning process, content integration, and digital design. The results showed an overall score of 91.75%, categorized as “very good.” The final product is a set of digital learning materials that combine cultural relevance, character education, and interactive features to support meaningful learning in Receptive Oral Language Skills. The findings imply that integrating local wisdom and character values into digital learning resources can not only enhance language comprehension but also foster students’ cultural awareness, moral development, and appreciation of local identity. This approach offers a model for culturally responsive and value-oriented language instruction in higher education.

Abstract

Language learning during the formative years of elementary education serves as the foundation for students’ academic, social, and cognitive growth. Mastery of language enables students not only to communicate effectively but also to think critically, collaborate with peers, and comprehend a wide range of academic content. This study investigates the effectiveness of integrated language skills-based student worksheets in improving the English proficiency of elementary school students. Conducted in two public schools in Medan, Indonesia, the quasi-experimental research involved 60 fourth-grade students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group utilized worksheets designed to integrate listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills based on thematic content, while the control group used conventional skill-separated materials. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, observations, and student self-assessments. Findings revealed that students in the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in all four language skills. They also demonstrated higher levels of engagement, confidence, and motivation. The study concludes that integrated worksheets provide a more holistic and effective approach to language learning, supporting communicative competence and student-centered learning. These results underscore the importance of designing instructional materials that reflect authentic language use and curricular goals. Integrated language skills-based student worksheets have been proven effective in improving the language competence of elementary school students.

Data dikumpulkan dari berbagai penelitian terdahulu yang relevan dan dianalisis menggunakan teknik sintesis kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan pembelajaran bilingual memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan penguasaan kosakata siswa, baik dari sisi pemahaman makna, penggunaan dalam konteks, maupun retensi jangka menengah. Selain itu, pembelajaran bilingual mampu meningkatkan keaktifan belajar, self-efficacy, serta fleksibilitas kognitif siswa dalam memproses informasi linguistik. Keberhasilan pembelajaran bilingual sangat dipengaruhi oleh strategi pengajaran seperti code-switching, penggunaan media visual, pendekatan kontekstual, serta pengulangan bermakna. Kesimpulannya, pembelajaran bilingual merupakan metode yang efektif dan layak untuk dikembangkan pada tingkat sekolah dasar guna memperkuat kompetensi kosakata Bahasa Inggris siswa dan mempersiapkan mereka menghadapi tantangan global.
