Abstract

This study investigates students' perceptions of the effectiveness of self-check as a writing strategy in academic essay courses at the University in North Sumatra. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data was collected from 33 undergraduate students through class observation, analysis of essay draft documents, and structured questionnaires. The findings showed that the majority of students (81.8%) found self-check beneficial for improving structural organization, grammatical accuracy, and writing clarity. Nevertheless, neutral responses were prevalent regarding understanding checklist criteria (66.7%), and some students (24.2%) continued to have difficulty revising their essays after the self-examination process, underscoring the need for explicit instructor scaffolding and modeling. Perceptions of time efficiency vary widely, suggesting that self-check can initially impose cognitive demands on novice learners. Overall, the results show that self-examination not only improves technical writing competence but also fosters learners' metacognitive awareness and autonomy. These findings highlight the important role of structured tutoring, peer demonstration, and step-by-step instructional practice in maximizing the pedagogical benefits of self-check in writing teaching.

Abstract

This study focuses on phonology is uttered by the students grade 7. Phonology refers to study how sounds are organized and used in natural languages. It also expands about the abstract system and patterns of those sounds within a specific language. It looks at the "rules" of how sounds interact and change when put together.To make it clear, this study reveals that the sample, specially for students in grade 7 taking by randomly and they have to read the anecdote story. Most of them still lack in the word of countries [k ʌntris], wearing[w ærin], same [seim], clothes[kl ədz], difficult [di;fik əlt], whether[w əde;r], gentleman [dj əntlm ən], Washington [Wasin tən], tired [t ærd], down [daun]. It happens because they are rarely to practice and applied in daily activity. Phonology research proves that these speech patterns are highly structured, rule-governed, and logical systems. This shifts the educational paradigm. Teachers learn to view a student's speech not as "broken English," but as a highly organized linguistic system transferring rules from one language/dialect to another

Abstract

Humor, a powerful tool in human interaction, has the potential to significantly impact language learning. This study investigates the impact of humor on the engagement and motivation of Indonesian EFL students. By analyzing the use of humor in popular Indonesian podcasts like @itsindahg and @whatisupindonesia, this research aims to uncover the specific strategies employed by the hosts to engage their audience. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research techniques. Quantitative data will be collected through surveys and questionnaires to measure students' perceptions of humor and its impact on their motivation. Qualitative data will be gathered through focus group discussions and content analysis of the podcasts to identify the specific humor techniques used and their effects on audience engagement. It is anticipated that the findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the role of humor in language learning and offer practical implications for EFL teachers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Teaching English to young learners generates many benefits, because children have a special capability to learn new knowledge effortlessly. However, teaching them could be challenging with unsupported equipment. This research aims to explore the utilization of a digital tool, Anglomaniacy, in young learner classrooms from the teachers’ perspective, to determine whether it can serve as a supporting tool that enhances learners’ English proficiency skills, such as vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking, reading, and others. This research was conducted online with three teachers from three primary grades in the Indonesia Teaching Community (ITC). The teachers were observed and asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their experience with utilizing Anglomaniacy in their classrooms. Thus, the data were collected through observations and a questionnaire created with Google Forms and shared via WhatsApp. Furthermore, the data of this phenomenological study were analyzed by applying Cresswell’s steps, including transcribing and coding the data. The findings showed that the three teachers suggest that Anglomaniacy has many benefits for teaching English to young learners, including providing useful features, boosting engagement, and vocabulary enhancement. However, they also explain several limitations while using it, such as limited topics and technical issues. Therefore, this research highlights further studies regarding Anglomaniacy use in Indonesia’s curriculum design.

Abstract

English learning at the elementary level requires engaging instructional media to support vocabulary and speaking development. However, the systematic integration of needs analysis into puppet-based video design remains underexplored in Indonesian EFL contexts. This study aimed to develop a puppet-based English learning video for fourth-grade students and to evaluate its validity and feasibility through expert judgment. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design based on the Analysis, Design, and Development phases of the ADDIE model. Data were collected from 20 fourth-grade students and two English teachers using questionnaires grounded in needs analysis principles. The findings revealed that students prioritized speaking skills (55%), experienced difficulties in vocabulary retention, and preferred video-based (65%) and puppet-assisted (85%) learning media. Based on these findings, a seven-minute puppet-based instructional video entitled "My Day with Kiko" was developed. The prototype was validated by one independent expert in English Education across content and media presentation aspects, achieving an overall mean score of 3.79 out of 4.00 (material: 4.00, media: 3.57), categorized as very valid and feasible. The study concludes that needs-driven instructional development can produce pedagogically appropriate multimedia resources for young EFL learners. Future research is recommended to examine its effectiveness through classroom implementation.
