Abstract

This study examines the relationship between extroversion and speaking proficiency among 27 pre-service English teachers at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sorong. Using a correlational research design, data were collected through the Revised-Short Form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQR-S) and a speaking skills test using a rubric by O'Malley (1996). The data were analysed using SPSS version 27 and Pearson product-moment correlation techniques. The results reveal an insignificant negative correlation (r = -0.108, p > 0.05) between extroversion and speaking skills, indicating no substantial link between these variables. Most students displayed moderate extroversion, but their speaking scores predominantly fell into the "enough" and "poor" categories. Highly extroverted students could have consistently achieved better speaking proficiency. Personalized teaching strategies are recommended to address students' diverse needs. Extroverted learners benefit from group discussions and collaborative projects, while introverted students perform better in quieter settings, such as one-on-one discussions or recorded tasks. These tailored approaches can enhance confidence and improve speaking skills across personality types. Further research is needed to explore other factors influencing pre-service teachers’ speaking skills.

Abstract

One important aspect of learning English in kindergarten is vocabulary mastery, which plays a crucial role in children’s ability to communicate effectively and understand language. However, many children at Aisyiyah Kindergarten in Surakarta, which were observed through purposive sampling, still struggle with vocabulary acquisition. It was found that the learning media, primarily textbooks, focused mostly on activities such as coloring, thickening, and writing letters, without providing sufficient repetition exercises to reinforce vocabulary. This was identified as a significant factor contributing to the challenges children face in retaining vocabulary. The recent research objective was to explore the themes and vocabulary in the textbooks in Surakarta kindergartens. This study specifically sought to examine how well textbooks support the development of vocabulary mastery and whether the content is culturally appropriate and engaging for young learners. The research was conducted using an exploratory qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through document analysis of English textbooks used in Surakarta kindergartens, applying first-order and second-order understanding techniques to identify and categorize themes and vocabulary. The results revealed that the textbooks used in these kindergartens were thematic, with some themes aligning with the Ministry of National Education's guidelines. However, the vocabulary introduced was sometimes disconnected from the children’s everyday experiences and was occasionally culturally inappropriate. While some textbooks included a significant amount of vocabulary, the frequency of repetition exercises was insufficient, with some books lacking repetition altogether.

Abstract

A narrative text with several grammatical and linguistic aspects is one of the texts learned in senior high school. In fact, according to the researcher's prior observation, students faced numerous challenges when attempting to write it, especially grammatical mistakes in using language features. This study aims to detect grammatical errors in the utilization of language elements in narrative texts produced by students, as well as to determine the underlying reasons contributing to these errors. The recent research employed a descriptive qualitative methodology. Eight of the eleventh-grade students studying Online Business and Marketing major in SMK Negeri 1 Kota Sorong have been selected as the participants in this research. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation which restricted social interactions, only those students than could be reached out to gather data. The data was derived from a writing exam and a semi-structured interview. Upon analyzing the student's writing, it was discovered that they made errors in utilizing the simple past tense and action verbs. Simultaneously, the interview data indicated that the causes contributing to grammatical errors in using language features in this study were limitations, lack of attention, and carelessness. This research finding implied that the teacher must identify the most effective technique to engage the student's attention and enable them to concentrate on acquiring language skills for future use in creating narrative texts.

Abstract

In the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), organizations are facing increasing demands to undergo rapid and comprehensive transformation. This transformation encompasses not only technological aspects but also workplace culture and employee behavior to ensure that changes are implemented effectively. Visionary leadership, an open mindset toward innovation, and an adaptive and collaborative organizational culture are essential in this process. This study aims to explore how organizations manage changes resulting from the implementation of AI, with a particular focus on the adaptation of workplace culture and employee behavior. The study employs a literature review approach by examining various academic journals and scholarly sources to understand change management strategies, shifts in organizational values, and forms of employee adjustment to new technologies. The findings of the literature review indicate that AI integration encourages organizations to shift from conventional structures toward more flexible and responsive models. Transformational leadership plays a crucial role in fostering an innovative environment, enhancing employee trust, and reducing resistance to change. The main challenges faced include digital skills gaps, concerns regarding data privacy, and fears of human roles being displaced by machines. Organizations that successfully manage change generally invest in reskilling and upskilling programs, strengthening soft skills, and implementing AI-based e-HRM systems to improve the efficiency of recruitment and training processes. In the context of education and the public sector, AI also contributes to administrative efficiency, personalized learning, and data-driven decision-making. However, ethical issues, data protection, and algorithmic transparency remain significant concerns. In conclusion, the success of digital transformation in the AI era largely depends on an organization’s internal readiness to synergize technology, culture, and human resources. A human-centric approach serves as an essential foundation for maintaining a balance between technological innovation and organizational sustainability in the future.

Abstract

Pendidikan bahasa Inggris di Papua, khususnya di Yayasan Putra Putri Al-Ikhlas, menghadapi tantangan dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara Bahasa Inggris dasar siswa. Salah satu aspek yang perlu diperhatikan adalah penguasaan sapaan dalam bahasa Inggris, baik yang formal maupun informal, yang sangat penting dalam interaksi sosial sehari-hari. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk membantu siswa memahami penggunaan sapaan bahasa Inggris yang tepat serta meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara mereka melalui pendekatan interaktif. Pembelajaran dilakukan dalam empat pertemuan dengan metode yang melibatkan role-play dan diskusi kelompok, yang memungkinkan siswa untuk berlatih langsung dalam situasi sosial. Sebanyak enam siswa mengikuti kegiatan ini, dan pre-test dilakukan sebelum pembelajaran untuk mengukur pengetahuan awal siswa, sementara post-test dilakukan setelah kegiatan untuk mengevaluasi perkembangan pemahaman mereka. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa semua siswa mengalami peningkatan, dengan empat siswa (Kesya, Irmawati, Dian, dan Rosaim) memperoleh peningkatan skor yang signifikan, terutama dalam penggunaan sapaan yang tepat sesuai konteks. Meskipun demikian, beberapa siswa masih mengalami kesulitan dalam membedakan penggunaan sapaan formal dan informal. Penggunaan metode interaktif terbukti efektif dalam mendukung pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, dan diharapkan dapat diterapkan lebih lanjut untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa.

Abstract

Soft skills are essential competencies that teachers must possess to create an effective, communicative, and student-centered learning process. However, the geographical conditions of SD Negeri 01 Saonek, which is located in an island area, present unique challenges, particularly related to limited access to travel outside the island and unstable communication networks. These limitations have resulted in teachers at the school not receiving adequate training in soft skill development, including communication, classroom management, and self-reflection abilities. To address this need, a socialization and training program based on microteaching was implemented as an effort to enhance teachers’ professional competencies. The microteaching method was chosen because it provides opportunities for direct practice, structured feedback, and simplified yet effective teaching simulations. The training was designed to help teachers understand good teaching techniques, build confidence, and strengthen interpersonal skills in instructional interactions. In addition, the collective feedback sessions offered participants chances to learn from one another and improve their teaching strategies based on peer observations. The results of the activity indicated an improvement in teachers’ ability to design lesson scenarios, manage classrooms, deliver material more clearly, and communicate more effectively with students. Teachers also reported increased motivation and a deeper understanding of the importance of soft skills in supporting their professionalism. Thus, the microteaching training provided new insights into the capacity-building process for teachers at SD Negeri 01 Saonek and served as a relevant solution for island schools facing limited access to conventional training. This program is expected to continue and become a model for empowering teachers in 3T regions to sustainably improve education quality.
