Abstract

English proficiency is an essential skill in both academic and professional settings. To support this need, Horizon Indonesia University currently uses the EFSet as an evaluation tool in its Global Workplace English Program (GWEP). However, EFSet has several limitations, including inflexible navigation, fixed question formats, and less informative result reports. This study aims to design a more user-friendly UI/UX for the GWEP online test application that better meets the needs of both students and lecturers. The research applies a Design Thinking approach and uses a mixed-methods strategy (qualitative and quantitative) through surveys, interviews, observations, and prototype testing with Figma. The results show that the new application offers easier navigation, a “mark question” feature, and more detailed result reports. A total of 90% of users completed the test without issues and in less time compared to EFSet. This application is expected to serve as a more effective alternative for assessing English proficiency online.

Abstract

In today's competitive job market, many students and recent graduates face significant challenges in securing employment, particularly when it comes to mastering interview skills. Research shows that a large percentage of job seekers feel unprepared for interviews, often struggling with communication and confidence. The rise of virtual interviews has further complicated this process, introducing new dynamics that candidates must navigate, such as technical issues and effective online presence.Additionally, employers increasingly use behavioral questions to assess candidates, which can leave many feeling uncertain about how to respond effectively. To address these challenges, we propose the "Unlock Your Career Potential: Interactive Workshop on Job Interview Skills." This workshop will provide participants with essential strategies for understanding the interview process, preparing effectively, and communicating confidently. Through interactive training, mock interviews, and feedback sessions, attendees will gain the skills and confidence necessary to excel in interviews and enhance their employability.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di Universitas Horizon Indonesia dalam rangka kunjungan kampus oleh siswa dari SMAS Azzahiriyah dan MA Ghoyatul Jihad, Karawang. Tujuan utama kegiatan ini adalah untuk mengenalkan konsep dasar machine learning dengan pendekatan partisipatif yang disesuaikan dengan tingkat pemahaman siswa. Penyampaian materi dilakukan tanpa praktik teknis pemrograman, melainkan menggunakan bahasa yang mudah dipahami serta bantuan simulasi interaktif dari code.org untuk memudahkan pemahaman siswa. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa siswa memberikan respons positif, terlihat dari antusiasme mereka dan mulai terbentuknya pemahaman awal mengenai bagaimana komputer dapat “belajar” dari data. Selain sebagai kegiatan edukatif, workshop ini juga menjadi bagian dari upaya kampus dalam memperluas jangkauan dan meningkatkan ketertarikan siswa terhadap pendidikan tinggi.

Abstract

This study investigates university students’ perceptions of ChatGPT as a speaking partner in English-speaking practice. Employing a qualitative research design, the study involved English major students at Horizon University Indonesia who engaged in ChatGPT-assisted speaking activities for four weeks. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals and analyzed using thematic analysis to examine students’ perceptions, perceived benefits and challenges, and the impact of ChatGPT on their motivation and speaking confidence. The findings reveal that students generally perceived ChatGPT as a helpful, accessible, and non-judgmental speaking partner. Its use provided increased opportunities for speaking practice, facilitated vocabulary development, and offered immediate feedback, which contributed positively to students’ motivation and confidence. Nevertheless, challenges were identified, including limited emotional interaction, occasional unnatural responses, and difficulties in sustaining extended contextual conversations. Overall, the study concludes that ChatGPT can function as an effective supplementary tool in English-speaking practice, particularly when integrated with appropriate pedagogical guidance to support EFL learners’ oral communication in higher education.

Abstract

This study explores how translanguaging shapes academic learning and everyday interactions among Chinese students in an English-medium instruction (EMI) context at President University in Indonesia. While English functions as the primary language of instruction, students frequently navigate Mandarin as their first language and Bahasa Indonesia for daily communication, creating a dynamic multilingual environment. Grounded in García’s translanguaging framework, this qualitative descriptive case study investigates how students mobilize their linguistic repertoires to support academic comprehension, emotional expression, social participation, and identity negotiation. Data were collected through multilingual reflective journals written by 30 Chinese undergraduate students over a six-week period, with three representative reflections presented in Mandarin, English, and Bahasa Indonesia. Content analysis indicates that translanguaging operates as a crucial pedagogical and social resource, enhancing comprehension, emotional expression, social interaction, and identity negotiation. By foregrounding students’ reflective accounts, this study contributes to the limited body of research on translanguaging in Indonesian EMI higher education and provides empirical insight into multilingual meaning-making from learners’ perspectives. The findings highlight the importance of linguistically flexible pedagogies and suggest that EMI institutions should recognize translanguaging as a valuable resource for supporting multilingual students’ academic engagement.
