Abstract

This study attempted to investigate further issues dealing with the effect of bilingual education and gender difference on students’ English achievement especially at elementary school students. The data were collected from mid-semester test and final test of a hundred and ten students of six grade at Islamic elementary school of Al Azhar 21 Pontianak. They were divided into two big categories. Half of them belong to bilingual class, while the others were from regular class. In terms of gender, they consisted of forty-nine females and sixty four males. As the purpose of the study was to probe the effect of bilingual education and gender difference on English achievement, the results indicated that both bilingual education and gender difference do not contribute significantly on English achievements. In other words, bilinguals or females do not attain English better than monolinguals or males and vice versa. As such, the  study advocated to avoid the dichotomy of bilingual class and non-bilingual class at school, since they carried more obstacles and challenges in the classroom instruction.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic acted as an unprecedented catalyst, forcing a global transition to online education and exposing deep-seated infrastructural and pedagogical vulnerabilities. This study investigates the lasting perceptions of this shift among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Indonesia, focusing on the persistent challenge of the urban-rural digital divide. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research explores the experiences of four junior high school English teachers in Pontianak Regency—two from urban and two from rural schools. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The findings reveal a significant dichotomy in teacher perceptions shaped by geographical location. Urban teachers, while initially optimistic, developed negative perceptions due to pedagogical frustrations and declining student engagement. In contrast, rural teachers held overwhelmingly negative perceptions from the start, citing insurmountable barriers related to internet access, device availability, and lack of digital literacy. The study concludes that the emergency remote teaching experience has solidified teacher perceptions that a one-size-fits-all approach to educational technology is untenable in a diverse landscape like Indonesia, highlighting an urgent need for context-aware policies and equitable infrastructure development in the post-pandemic era.

Abstract

This research investigates the psychological challenges experienced by second-semester students of the English Education Study Program at UNU Kalbar during English presentation activities. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to provide a clear overview of the affective barriers influencing students’ speaking performance. Data were collected through an 18-item questionnaire supported by semi-structured interviews to obtain a comprehensive understanding of their experiences. The analysis focused on six psychological aspects: lack of confidence, shyness, fear of making errors, anxiety, low motivation, and concern about criticism. The findings reveal that many students experience considerable nervousness, hesitation, and reduced motivation when presenting in English. Fear of criticism and low motivation appear as the most dominant barriers. These psychological issues limit students’ ability to express ideas clearly and hinder their overall performance. Therefore, the study recommends that lecturers implement motivational teaching strategies, create supportive and low-stress learning environments, and provide constructive, non-judgmental feedback to help students overcome psychological obstacles and improve their English presentation skills.

Abstract

Mastering vocabulary plays a key aspect of learning English. However, many students still face difficulties in remembering words they have learned for a long time. While previous studies mostly examined how Kahoot! improves students’ motivation and participation, few have discussed its role in helping students retain vocabulary. Therefore, this study aims to understand teachers’ perceptions of using Kahoot! as a learning medium to strengthen students’ vocabulary memory in the first grade of junior high school. This research used a qualitative phenomenological design involving three English teachers chosen through purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews and supported by documentation. The results show that teachers view Kahoot! positively because it is enjoyable, simple to use, and helps improve students’ motivation, engagement, and word retention. Although some obstacles such as limited devices and poor internet connections appeared, teachers managed them using various creative solutions. The study suggests that Kahoot! can serve as an effective digital learning tool to make vocabulary learning more interactive, enjoyable, and memorable for students in today’s digital classroom.

Abstract

 This research investigates English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in teaching seventh-grade students at SMPN 29 Pontianak and SMPN 3 Batu Ampar. The study aims to explore how teachers perceive, understand, and evaluate the effectiveness of PjBL in fostering meaningful learning, student engagement, and the development of 21st-century skills. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews and documentation to gain in-depth insights into teachers’ experiences and perspectives. The findings reveal that teachers generally perceive PjBL positively as it provides opportunities for students to collaborate, communicate, and apply their language skills in authentic contexts. However, challenges such as limited time allocation, unequal student participation, and the need for careful planning were also highlighted. Despite these challenges, teachers acknowledged that PjBL enhances student motivation and encourages active learning. The study concludes that while PjBL requires adaptation and adequate support to be effectively implemented, it holds significant potential in improving students’ language skills and fostering holistic learning experiences. This research contributes to the understanding of how EFL teachers view PjBL in the Indonesian context and offers implications for improving teaching practices in secondary schools.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental aspect of English language skills because it forms the foundation for listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, in practice, vocabulary learning in the classroom is often conducted monotonously, such as through memorization or written exercises that lack active student participation. This situation has the potential to reduce learning interest and motivation, and impact student learning outcomes. Therefore, innovations in learning strategies are needed to create a more engaging, interactive, and enjoyable learning environment. One alternative learning medium that can be utilized is quartet cards, an educational game that emphasizes student interaction, cooperation, and active involvement in learning and remembering new vocabulary. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of quartet cards in improving English vocabulary mastery at eighth-grade students at Al-Wahidiyah Integrated Islamic Junior High School. The study used a quantitative method with a one-group pre-experimental pretest-posttest design. The sample size was 13 students, selected using a saturated sampling technique. The instrument used was a multiple-choice test administered before and after the treatment. The results showed an increase in the average score from 49.15 in the pretest to 56.38 in the posttest. Further analysis revealed a significant difference between students' abilities before and after using the quartet cards. These findings indicate that the quartet cards are effective in improving junior high school students' English vocabulary mastery. The implication of this study is that English teachers can use the quartet cards as an alternative creative learning strategy that can increase motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. Furthermore, this research can serve as a basis for developing other educational game-based learning models relevant to students' needs in the modern education era.

Abstract

Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kemampuan guru dalam menyusun serta menerapkan perangkat pembelajaran berbasis karakter yang terintegrasi dengan nilai-nilai Profil Pelajar Pancasila. Latar belakang kegiatan ini didasarkan pada hasil observasi awal di Yayasan Hidayatul Ulum Al Hasani, Kecamatan Kuala Mandor B, Kabupaten Kubu Raya, yang menunjukkan bahwa sebagian guru masih berfokus pada aspek kognitif pembelajaran dan belum optimal dalam mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai karakter moral, religius, dan kebangsaan ke dalam perangkat ajar. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan PKM ini meliputi tahap persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Pada tahap pelaksanaan, kegiatan dilakukan melalui pelatihan intensif, penyampaian materi teori pendidikan karakter, workshop penyusunan RPP dan modul ajar berbasis karakter, diskusi, serta pendampingan praktik secara langsung selama dua hari. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 17 orang guru sebagai peserta. Evaluasi kegiatan dilakukan melalui diskusi reflektif dan pengisian angket kepuasan peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman dan keterampilan guru dalam merancang perangkat pembelajaran berbasis karakter, khususnya dalam mengintegrasikan nilai religius, gotong royong, mandiri, integritas, dan nasionalisme ke dalam tujuan, kegiatan, dan penilaian pembelajaran. Selain itu, peserta menunjukkan antusiasme tinggi dan kepuasan terhadap pelaksanaan kegiatan. Dengan demikian, kegiatan PKM ini memberikan kontribusi positif dalam mendukung implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka serta penguatan pendidikan karakter di sekolah mitra.
