To accelerate the development of the competence, the community service team of Unisda implemented assistance to exemplify copious literacy-based activities both in school and in the community at Kalen village where the problem of the inappropriateness of literacy-based practices, and the unavailability of a literacy support environment were found. The program was targeted to children of elementary school age of Kalen Village, Lamongan, East Java, Indonesia. Several planned programs were accomplished through three phases; preparation that included identifying community problems and deciding on offered solutions, implementation that covers the execution of the planned programs in twelve weeks, and evaluation. To evaluate the activities, an analysis of observation, interview, and a survey was conducted qualitatively. The result indicated that three major programs were evidenced to accelerate children's literacy competence. The success of the program, therefore, was urgently suggested to be a continuous program to be arranged by the village government.

Also, they felt an increased teacher-student interpersonal relation, improved teacher praise, and a conversation-like atmosphere during screencast feedback with an additional teacher’s visual presence. Several teachers’ reflections from each cycle were also discussed further. In short, screencast was implemented successfully in academic writing courses and was able to enhance students’ scientific article writing.

Abstract

Indonesian students in senior high school in the language program found it difficult to make both English interrogative sentences and Mandarin interrogative sentences. To assist the English and Mandarin teachers in overcoming the problem, a contrastive study of both English and Mandarin interrogative sentences needs to be investigated. Hence, this article purposes to reveal the similarities and differences between English and Mandarin interrogative sentences found in Indonesian textbooks used by teachers. Qualitative descriptive research was used by describing both similarities and differences. The result generates several similarities and differences in interrogative sentences between English and Mandarin. Both languages are similar because they both have five kinds of interrogative sentences which have the same meaning and required similar answers. Among five types of interrogative sentences in English or Mandarin, some of them use several predicates and object simultaneously in one question. The use of the auxiliary verb in English and Mandarine's interrogative sentence is dissimilar. In English interrogative sentences, auxiliary verbs are used accord with the tenses used, while in Mandarin they are not. Besides, auxiliary verbs in English interrogative sentences must precede the subject, but in Mandarin, they are at the end of the sentence.

Abstract

This study addresses the pervasive issue of gender representation in educational materials, focusing on the elementary school context. The research problem centers on assessing how gender is portrayed in the textbook titled "My Next Words for Elementary School," designed for 1st-grade students. The purpose of the research is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the textbook's content, examining categories such as omission, firstness, occupational visibility, nouns, masculine generic construction, and adjectives, within the framework proposed by Porreca (1984). The methodology employed is a content analysis with a descriptive qualitative design. The study meticulously examines the 13 chapters of the textbook, analyzing both textual and illustrative elements. The findings reveal a balanced gender representation in text and illustrations, fostering an inclusive learning environment. The arrangement of sentences demonstrates an equitable introduction of male and female characters, promoting a sense of equality. The textbook breaks away from traditional gender norms by incorporating diverse occupational roles, ensuring both male and female characters engage in various professions. Nouns related to gender are thoughtfully selected to avoid reinforcing stereotypes, and masculine generic construction is balanced. Adjectives are distributed fairly between male and female characters. In the findings, the study emphasizes the contribution of the analyzed textbook in promoting gender inclusivity and avoiding stereotypes in elementary education. This research has implications for curriculum development and instructional material design, advocating for more inclusive and gender-sensitive educational resources in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of "Speakia" as a medium for enhancing English speaking skills. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed to analyze the responses collected through a structured questionnaire combined with qualitative interviews and a literature review from related studies. The instrument comprised 15 questions using a 5-point Likert Scale, accompanied by an open-ended section for additional comments. The questions addressed students’ positive impressions of Speakia, specific benefits, levels of motivation and comfort, encountered difficulties, and suggestions for improvement. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to thoughtfully select participants who could provide valuable insights related to the research objectives. The study involved 29 participants (13 males and 16 females) from an Islamic primary school in Lamongan, Indonesia. Findings indicated that the majority of students responded positively to the use of Speakia, reporting increased confidence and comfort in speaking English. However, less than 10% of the participants experienced difficulties, particularly in comprehending the audio pronunciations provided by Speakia, largely due to unfamiliarity with native speaker accents. The study concludes that the selection of appropriate learning media plays a critical role in enhancing the quality of language learning, influencing student engagement, and ultimately, the effectiveness of instructional delivery. Speakia is positively received as an online learning medium, demonstrating its efficacy in fostering both student engagement and proficiency in English language acquisition. The findings offer valuable data-driven insights for educators, policymakers, and developers, enabling them to refine or expand the use of such technological tools

Abstract

With the introduction of the Merdeka Curriculum in the Indonesian educational system, new instructional materials were developed to support its implementation, including textbooks designed to align with the Curriculum's emphasis on global standards such as the Common European Framework for Reference for Languages (CEFR). Merdeka Curriculum-based textbooks require systematic evaluation to determine their alignment with both the Merdeka curriculum goals and CEFR proficiency levels. While existing studies do not focus on skill-specific material alignment with CEFR in English textbooks, this study fills a key gap by analyzing to what extent “Bahasa Inggris: English for Change” aligns with Merdeka Curriculum and the CEFR framework. This research aims to investigate the skill-specific alignment of the “Bahasa Inggris: English for Change” textbook for grade XI with the Merdeka Curriculum within the CEFR B1 framework. Using a descriptive qualitative content analysis approach and the adapted Tanto rubric, the textbook was evaluated across four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The results indicate a high level of alignment, with overall 80% of the materials strongly conforming to CEFR B1 descriptors, and 20% showing moderate alignment with particular skills, such as reading, listening, and speaking. These results demonstrated that most of the specific-skill material in the textbook highly aligns with CEFR B1. This offers valuable insight for curriculum developers, textbook authors, and teachers by highlighting the alignment of textbook materials with both CEFR B1 and Merdeka Curriculum standards.
