Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a scaffolding-based English coursebook for 3rd-grade elementary students in Indonesia. The research was conducted in response to the challenges faced by teachers and young learners in , English language education, such as lack of contextualized materials and student engagement. A mixed-methods design was employed, involving a needs assessment, coursebook design, and a quasi-experimental study with 120 students from two schools in Purwokerto, Central Java. The experimental group used the scaffolding-based coursebook, while the control group used existing materials. The results revealed significant improvements in English proficiency scores for both groups, with the experimental group outperforming the control group. Qualitative data from classroom observations and interviews indicated increased student engagement, motivation, and positive perceptions of the scaffolding approach in the experimental group. The findings suggest that the scaffolding-based coursebook effectively enhanced young learners' English language proficiency and engagement compared to existing materials. The study highlights the potential of scaffolding techniques in designing contextualized language learning materials and supporting English language education in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects and applicability of scaffolding-based coursebooks across different grade levels and regions.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is crucial for nursing students to effectively communicate in English. This study aimed to develop and validate a tailored computer-assisted vocabulary learning (CAVL) intervention to improve nursing students' retention of English lexicon, which is essential for healthcare communications. The CAVL program was designed using the Moodle platform and focused on four thematic units that targeted essential nursing vocabulary. The learning process followed research-based principles of vocabulary instruction, including multimodal introduction, reinforced retrieval, and contextual repetition. This study utilized a research and development methodology to conduct iterative needs analyses, design refinement, and rigorous evaluation protocols. Expert reviews, prototype testing, post-intervention vocabulary tests, and delayed assessments were used to gather data and make data-driven improvements. Quantitative analysis evaluated the effectiveness of this approach for 100 Indonesian nursing students. Vocabulary assessments were administered before, immediately after, and two weeks after the intervention, revealing significant improvements in terminology knowledge following the implementation of CAVL. Importantly, scores remained stable during the delayed assessment, demonstrating durable retention. These results are consistent with previous literature on the benefits of contextual and multimodal vocabulary learning. The CAVL prototype facilitated learning and effectively improved vocabulary retention outside of the classroom. This research provides an adaptable framework for technologically-assisted language mastery, which is essential for the next generation of nursing education. Further studies can explore the application of this framework in allied healthcare fields and the transition to practice in nursing education.

Abstract

Self-directed learning has become increasingly important in a dynamic world, with English as the key to global opportunities in education, employment, and cultural exchange. This service activity, conducted at SMK N 1 Purwokerto, aims to encourage students to become autonomous learners in English language acquisition. Through innovative approaches such as lectures, watching short films, and interactive games, students are provided with practical strategies for self-learning. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' motivation and engagement in English learning. Methods such as watching English films have proven effective in enriching vocabulary and improving listening comprehension. Recent studies support the effectiveness of these methods, showing that audiovisual input and the use of subtitles can significantly aid language learning. By providing students with the necessary skills and tools, these activities successfully create a supportive and motivating learning environment, preparing students to become successful independent learners.
