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.

Abstract

This study examines the role of bilingual learning approaches in improving English language development among Elementary School Teacher Education (PGSD) students. As future educators, PGSD students are expected to demonstrate adequate English proficiency to support instructional practices, meet curriculum requirements, and integrate bilingual elements in primary school learning environments. This research employs a literature review method by analyzing relevant national and international journals, books, and educational reports that discuss bilingual learning, teacher preparation, and English language development. The findings indicate that bilingual learning approaches contribute significantly to strengthening students’ linguistic competence, particularly in vocabulary development, reading comprehension, speaking confidence, and academic communication skills. Furthermore, the reviewed literature highlights that exposure to bilingual learning environments increases student engagement, motivation, and readiness to apply bilingual instruction in future classrooms. Therefore, integrating bilingual learning approaches is essential for preparing competent, adaptive, and globally oriented future elementary school teachers

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of visual and interactive media in teaching English to elementary school students through a systematic literature review. Employing a qualitative approach, the study analyzes relevant scholarly publications from the past ten years. The findings reveal that visual and interactive media significantly contribute to enhancing students’ learning motivation, vocabulary acquisition, active participation, communication skills, and the development of meaningful learning environments. Visual media—such as images, flashcards, and videos—facilitate students’ comprehension of language concepts by presenting them in concrete and contextualized forms. Meanwhile, interactive media—including digital games and multimedia applications—encourage active engagement and collaborative learning experiences. Furthermore, the integration of these media reduces language anxiety and fosters an enjoyable classroom atmosphere. As a result, students demonstrate greater confidence in using English and increased involvement in learning activities. Therefore, the incorporation of visual and interactive media is essential for promoting effective, engaging, and meaningful English language instruction at the elementary school level.

Abstract

English language learning in primary schools plays an important role in building students' language skills from an early age. However, in practice, English language learning still faces various challenges, such as low student motivation, limited learning strategies, and a lack of media that is appropriate for primary school students. This study aims to examine various effective English learning strategies in improving the language skills of primary school students. The research method used is a literature study by reviewing SINTA indexed national journal articles and reputable international journals relevant to the research topic. The data were analysed using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques by grouping and synthesising previous research findings. The results of the study show that the application of interactive and communicative learning strategies, such as the Audio Lingual Method, Total Physical Response (TPR), cooperative learning, and the use of visual and audiovisual media, can increase the motivation, participation, and language skills of primary school students. Thus, the application of varied English learning strategies that are appropriate for the characteristics of primary school students is necessary to create effective and meaningful learning.
