Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the impact of the BBC Learning English application on listening skills among 10th-grade students in a computerized academic setting. The study involved 46 students from MAS TPI Sawit Seberang, divided into two groups of 23 students each. The experimental group utilized the BBC Learning English application, while the control group received traditional instruction. Employing a quasi-experimental design with pre-tests and post-tests, the experimental group also completed a questionnaire. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences (α = 0.05) in post-test listening scores, favoring the experimental group. Additionally, "strongly agree" and "agree" were the most common responses regarding the application’s usability, indicating a positive effect on students' attitudes. The findings suggest practical applications for integrating technology into English language instruction, highlighting the potential of digital tools like the BBC Learning English application to enhance listening skills. This study contributes to the theoretical framework of English Language Teaching by demonstrating the effectiveness of technology-mediated learning and its impact on student engagement and skill development. Therefore, incorporating the BBC Learning English application into listening skills instruction is recommended.

In the five codes, three of them describe the symbol of reincarnation in the story, namely the hermeneutic code, the symbolic code, and the connotative code. This study uses a text-oriented approach that focuses on the meaning of the symbol of reincarnation in the main character by analyzing and describing the symbol of reincarnation. The techniques used in collecting data in this study are Documenting Data, Taking Notes and Close Reading. The results of this study indicate that of Roland Barthes' five semiotic codes, there are three codes described, namely hermeneutic codes, symbolic codes, and connotative codes. where there are 24 symbols that describe reincarnation, the hermeneutic code has 8 symbols, the symbolic code has 12 symbols and, 4 connotative symbols describe the reincarnation of the main character in the novel You've Reached Sam.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Universitas Jenderal Soedirman's self-values within the Fundamental Translation course. Known as Jati Diri Unsoed, these institutional values are part of a mandatory subject for all enrolled students. The research sought to evaluate the extent to which character education at the university level has been effectively implemented. The methodology began by asking students to engage in translation tasks and address the challenges encountered during the process, thereby revealing their character traits. This also enabled the lecturer to guide students toward appropriate and thoughtful solutions. Using purposive sampling, selected students’ translations were analyzed by comparing the source and target texts and aligning them with the four core values of Jati Diri Unsoed: intelligence, honesty, strength, and caring. The analysis identified several translation challenges and the techniques employed to resolve them, including amplification, implicitation, correction, addition, and other common translation issues. The findings demonstrate that the ways students addressed these challenges reflect the values of intelligence, honesty, and caring. The study concludes that character education can be effectively integrated into various academic subjects through the application of appropriate pedagogical approaches, methods, and techniques.

Abstract

: The phenomenon of reduplication in the Madurese language is essential for enriching vocabulary and facilitating nuanced communication. This research explores the sociolinguistic and cross-linguistic aspects of reduplication in Madurese, emphasizing its diverse meanings and its interplay with other linguistic components. Our analysis seeks to reveal the ways in which reduplication influences cultural and social interactions among speakers of Madurese. Employing a qualitative methodology, data was collected through observations and interviews with native speakers. A comparative sociolinguistic approach was utilized to examine reduplication in Madurese in relation to analogous patterns in Javanese and Indonesian, underscoring the impact of contextual, cultural, and linguistic factors on meaning. The results demonstrate that reduplication in Madurese fulfills various functions, including the expression of plurality, intensity, and emotional nuances. Reduplicated nouns typically denote plurality, whereas adjectives indicate intensification, showcasing functions that differ from those in Javanese and Indonesian. This research enhances our comprehension of the multifaceted role of reduplication in Madurese, illustrating its contribution to linguistic identity and cultural representation. These results highlight the significance of studying reduplication to grasp the processes of meaning-making within sociolinguistic frameworks.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate English conversational skills in early childhood through the use of the Comma 2.0 application as a learning medium. The research method follows an experimental approach, applying the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) in instructional design. In the analysis stage, we identified the needs and characteristics of early childhood learners in English language acquisition. We then designed the lessons by integrating the audio-visual-based Comma 2.0 application, adhering to instructional design principles that are engaging and suitable for early childhood development. The implementation was conducted with two groups: a control group using conventional learning methods and an experimental group using the Comma 2.0 application. Evaluation was performed before and after the intervention using English conversation skill tests. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group, validating the effectiveness of the Comma 2.0 application in enhancing English conversational skills in early childhood. These findings support the use of technology-based learning approaches in early childhood development, creating an interactive and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

This study examines the characteristics of reporting verb usage in article texts written by Indonesian speakers. This study is qualitative research that focuses on the comparison of the form, tense, and voice of reporting verbs. The data are clauses and sentences from fifty social science articles and fifty science articles published in national journals. The data analysis is based on Hyland’s theory (2002), supported by the theory of tense and voice by Azar (2002) and O’Dwyer (2006). The findings show that the forms of reporting verbs in social science articles are more varied, with around 33 verbs, compared to natural science articles, which amounted to 28. From the findings of these forms, the category classification of reporting verbs in social science leans towards discourse (69.09%), and natural science leans towards research (49.26%). In terms of tense, present simple is the tense that tends to be used in social science. Meanwhile, natural science uses two types of tense: present simple and past simple. Lastly, the voice of the reporting verb in the two disciplines applies active voice. These findings indicate that the characteristics of social research are argumentative, emphasizing the interpretation of ongoing phenomena. On the contrary, the characteristics of social research illustrate that it is experimental, reflecting a verified research process.

Abstract

This study explores EFL students' perceptions of using Quizizz as an assessment tool in Basic Reading class and examines its correlation with their reading proficiency. A survey was conducted among 25 students using a closed-ended questionnaire, and their reading proficiency was assessed using final test scores. The findings reveal that students generally have a positive perception of Quizizz, particularly in terms of its interactive features, motivation enhancement, and immediate feedback. Correlation analysis indicates a significant relationship between students' perceptions and their reading proficiency, suggesting that higher engagement with Quizizz is associated with better reading outcomes. However, some technical difficulties and accessibility challenges were noted, emphasizing the need for additional training and support. The study concludes that integrating Quizizz in reading instruction enhances student engagement and proficiency, though further research is needed to explore long-term effects and broader implementation strategies.
