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 determine the effect of using smart boxes on students' science learning outcomes in the Indonesiaku Kaya Budaya (My Indonesia is Rich in Culture) material in grade IV of SDN 107443 Kampung Taiwan. This study is a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental method. The research population consisted of all 30 fourth-grade students at SDN 107443 Kampung Taiwan, divided into two classes. Random sampling was used to determine the research sample, namely 15 students in class IV-A as the experimental class and 15 students in class IV-B as the control class. The results of data analysis showed that students' IPAS learning outcomes were influenced by the use of smart box learning media. Students in the control class obtained an average learning outcome score of 64.66, while students in the experimental class obtained an average score of 78.66. Based on the t-test results at a significance level of 0.05, with a t-value greater than the t-table (3.009 > 2.048), it can be concluded that there is a difference in student learning outcomes between the two research classes. Thus, smart box learning media has an effect on the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 107443 Kampung Taiwan.
