<![CDATA[This study investigates the efficacy of coping strategies for English language anxiety among lecturers and students within religious and general study programs, employing a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative T-tests and qualitative interviews. Results indicate significant differences in the anxiety-coping strategies between lecturers and students, with distinct variations across the two types of study programs. While strategies among religious and general program lecturers showed no significant differences, a marked contrast was observed between students of these programs, highlighting the influence of disciplinary context on anxiety management. The study reveals that lecturers and students successfully use tailored strategies to mitigate language anxiety, suggesting the importance of contextualized approaches. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educational institutions develop specific training programs that enhance the capability of educators and students to manage language anxiety effectively. Such programs should focus on communication techniques, psychological resilience, and cultural awareness, which are crucial in diverse academic environments. The implications of this research support a differentiated approach to language education policy, advocating for interventions sensitive to the unique challenges and needs of various academic disciplines.]]>

<![CDATA[This research investigates how a method known as Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), which is a tool for making decisions based on multiple criteria, might be utilized in the field of education. The goal is to determine the most effective techniques for enhancing the educational process based on a variety of variables, such as student performance, the efficacy of teachers, the relevance of the curriculum, the allocation of resources, and student participation. According to the findings, the solutions that are most likely to be chosen include introducing more interactive teaching methods as well as instituting a school-wide gamification system. However, some limitations of the SAW technique have been recognized. These shortcomings include the method's assumption of the independence of criteria and its sensitivity to weight assignments. The paper's authors concluded by giving suggestions for future research topics. These include the investigation of the impact different weight assignments have on the findings obtained by using the SAW approach, as well as the exploration of other decision-making systems. This research is an important contribution to the expanding body of knowledge on the application of decision-support systems in education and offers insightful information that can be helpful to teachers, school administrators, and policymakers.]]>

<![CDATA[This development research attempts to improve learning outcomes and sports science, especially physical fitness. The programme uses learning apps and instructional videos. In each face-to-face session, the learning app includes lecture explanations, videos of learning variations, fitness programme preparation, and other blended learning instructions. When researchers realised students needed an independent learning curriculum to complete the 20 SKS Thematic KKN programme off campus, they came up with this proposal. Help students access all Thematic KKN lectures. The quantitative research method leverages Sugiono's R D method to develop and evaluate items that meet goals. After this investigation, students' cognitive abilities, programme compilation capabilities, and fitness activity variants will be assessed. Three experts—two material and one media—will validate the Android-based learning medium in advance. 40% know the needs analysis, and experts' validation percentage. The average validation value with a bad category is 29%–46%. The small group test has 63% validity, according to expert review. The validation value is 47%–64%, which is good enough for the large group test stage following repair. With an outstanding category, application-based learning media for physical fitness activities is developed effectively and efficiently. The large group test has 94% validity, and the average validation score is 83% to 100%. The small group test of 16 Medan State University students of Physical Education, Sports, and Recreation had a score of 66% with a good category, and the large group test of 32 students had a score of 88% with a very good category.

<![CDATA[The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed many aspects of life, including language. Words such as 'outbreak' and 'pandemic' frequently appear in COVID-19-related news, and both carry similar meanings in referring to the rapid spread of contagious diseases that affect a large number of people in extensive areas. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, it remains unclear how they are employed in various sentence contexts. This research aims to analyze the categories and syntactic functions of the collocation of the words 'outbreak' and 'pandemic' in the Nusantara Corpus using a corpus linguistics method. The study utilizes a combined quantitative and qualitative approach to examine the collocation of 'outbreak' and 'pandemic' in the Nusantara Linguistic Corpus. Data analysis is based on corpus linguistic theory and collocation theory. The research findings indicate that the collocation of 'outbreak' and 'pandemic' words is identified in the Nusantara corpus. The frequency of the word 'outbreak' reaches 195 occurrences, while 'pandemic' appears 1,229 times. Therefore, it can be concluded that the collocation of 'outbreak' and 'pandemic' words can be syntactically categorized as verbs, nouns, adjectives, and prepositions. Moreover, in terms of syntactic functions, the collocation of 'outbreak' and 'pandemic' is classified as subjects, objects, complements, and adverbials. This research can be implemented in the use of 'outbreak' and 'pandemic' collocations in sentence construction by considering categories and syntactic functions to avoid semantic errors based on the correct context.]]>
