Abstract

This study examines the types and frequency of surface linguistic errors in English oral storytelling by junior high school students from the 3T (frontier, outermost, disadvantaged) region of Kupang Timur. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 15 students and analyzed through Dulay et al.’s Surface Strategy Taxonomy, with error analysis following Ellis’s framework: identification, description, explanation, and evaluation. The results show that omission errors were most frequent (47%), followed by addition (27%), misformation (20%), and misordering (6%). Frequent mistakes included the omission of “to be” verbs and possessive apostrophes, indicating limited mastery of basic English grammar in spoken form. These findings highlight the specific grammatical challenges faced by learners from remote, under-resourced areas. The study offers valuable implications for English language instruction, suggesting the need for targeted teaching strategies and curriculum development that address the unique needs of students in 3T regions. By focusing on an underrepresented group in Indonesian educational research, this study provides new insights into how linguistic background and educational access shape oral language proficiency, advocating for more inclusive and context-sensitive language teaching practices.

Abstract

This study examines the alignment of Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in summative assessments within the context of the Merdeka curriculum at SMP Amore Prime School. The research utilizes a descriptive quantitative approach, analyzing English assessment items for grade 8 students in the 2024-2025 academic year. Data was collected from 51 summative test items, categorized according to Bloom’s revised taxonomy, with a focus on the distribution of LOTS and HOTS. The findings reveal a dominance of LOTS-based items (70.6%) over HOTS-based items (29.4%), indicating a gap in the ideal implementation of the Merdeka curriculum, which emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and independent learning. Although the assessment items reflect an attempt to integrate both cognitive levels, the imbalance suggests that traditional rote-learning practices still prevail, particularly in assessing foundational knowledge. This study highlights the need for greater emphasis on HOTS in language assessments to fully align with the goals of the Merdeka curriculum and support the development of students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Abstract

Program pengabdian masyarakat ini berfokus pada pengembangan kurikulum Bahasa Inggris yang terstruktur dan sistematis bagi lembaga pendidikan non-formal “Learning and Piety” di Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Program ini dilaksanakan melalui beberapa tahap utama, yaitu observasi, diskusi, perancangan kurikulum, sosialisasi, dan evaluasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa ketiadaan kurikulum terstruktur sebelumnya menyebabkan ketidakkonsistenan dalam materi ajar dan proses penilaian. Setelah implementasi kurikulum baru dan pelatihan microteaching, para fasilitator menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan dalam konsistensi pengajaran, pengelolaan kelas, serta keterampilan evaluasi. Peserta kursus juga melaporkan pengalaman belajar Bahasa Inggris yang lebih menarik, efektif, dan sesuai dengan tingkat kemampuan mereka. Keberhasilan program ini terletak pada pendekatan kolaboratif antara tim akademik dan lembaga mitra yang memastikan kurikulum disusun sesuai kebutuhan nyata peserta. Namun, beberapa tantangan tetap muncul, seperti keterbatasan pengalaman pedagogis fasilitator dan waktu pelaksanaan yang singkat sehingga evaluasi jangka panjang belum optimal. Secara keseluruhan, program ini menegaskan pentingnya pengembangan profesional berkelanjutan dan penyusunan kurikulum terstruktur untuk memperkuat kualitas pendidikan Bahasa Inggris non-formal, khususnya di wilayah dengan keterbatasan sumber daya seperti Kupang.
