When children learn English, they have a limited capacity for long-term attention, which necessitates learning English to be more creative, interactive, and innovative. Furthermore, smartphone technology provides these advantages, one of which is the augmented reality application, a novel issue in English teaching. The purpose of this research is to explain how to design Augmented Reality applications. The research design is the multimedia development life cycle (MDLC), and the research method is descriptive qualitative. It was explained that the augmented reality application could be used with the image distance and the augmented display up to 30 cm and that it could be used by teachers without the assistance of a computer technician using the six cycles of MDLC: concept, design, collecting material, assembly, testing, and distribution. The findings show that Augmented Reality can be used as a creative, interactive, and innovative media to help students learn English.Keywords: Augmented Reality; elementary school; English teaching process.

This study aims to develop a textbook as a guide for writing research articles in English to answer the challenges faced by non-English department students in writing research articles in English. This research applies the R&D (Research and Development) method. The development of this textbook uses the ADDIE development model, which includes five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. In this study, data is collected through questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaires are delivered to 240 students in the non-English department, and interviews are administered with two lecturers at a private higher education institution. A textbook titled "Panduan Penyusunan Karya Ilmiah Berbahasa Inggris" was developed as a result of the development research. The textbook's design and development are heavily impacted by the need analysis results, which determine what will be taught through the textbook. There are several noteworthy discoveries in the evaluation. Despite students' positive responses to the questionnaire statements, implying a certain level of textbook effectiveness, paying attention to the lecturers' conclusions is critical. They noted that the developed textbook needs additional attention concerning its visual components. As a result, it suggests that the developed textbook be improved, focusing on aesthetic features. Furthermore, it is hoped that the results of this study can become a further reference in the preparation of research articles writing in English so that the problems of non-English department students in writing English research articles can be resolved.

Most students assessed their English language skills competence at moderate level. Listening and speaking skills are assessed as the first priority followed by writing and reading skills. However, the research findings also show that speaking skills seem to be the most difficult skills for them apart from weak grammar and low vocabulary mastery. Second, related to the students’ wants on English subject, the preferred language skills are reading followed by speaking, listening and writing. Third, related to necessity on English subject, learning activities that students need to function effectively is to combine English and Indonesian as a medium in delivering material. Most students also think that learning English is better in large groups under the supervision of lecturers. Furthermore, feedback, revision, and reflection are very important aspects for developing the ability to self-regulate learning. Therefore, students prefer to be corrected immediately by the lecturer when they make mistakes. To achieve learning effectiveness, students also expect the integration of a variety of activities and the development of learning materials.
