Abstract

English, as the lingua franca of our interconnected world, holds immense significance for contemporary students. Its status as a global language transcends borders, enabling communication across diverse cultures, industries, and regions. Proficiency in English is not merely a skill but a gateway to numerous opportunities, such as accessing international academic resources, participating in global job markets, and fostering cross-cultural understanding. This research underscores the critical role of English in modern education, highlighting its function in facilitating global collaboration and access to critical educational resources. Most scholarly literature and leading educational materials are in English, making proficiency in the language essential for keeping up with developments across various fields.This study employed a qualitative research design to explore the role of the "Work in Progress" English textbook within the learning environment at SMKN 1 Penukal Utara. The qualitative approach enabled an in-depth examination of students' perceptions of the textbook, their responses to its teaching methodology, and the contribution of the textbook to their English language proficiency. Findings from the study reveal that the textbook incorporates a significant number of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions, particularly for 10th-grade students. Approximately 70% of the textbook's content focuses on enhancing students' analytical and problem-solving skills, aligning with its overarching goal of deepening students' understanding of the English language. The integration of HOTS questions in each thematic unit significantly contributes to the development of students' higher-order thinking abilities.

In the digital age, the integration of technology in education has transformed how students submit assignments, with e-portfolios emerging as a dynamic platform. E-portfolios offer students a personalized digital space to document their learning progress, showcase achievements, and engage in reflective practice. This study explores the perceptions of English student teachers regarding the use of e-portfolios in a reflective practice project. Utilizing a qualitative approach, both questionnaires and interview data were collected with 14 students. The findings reveal that students perceive e-portfolios as beneficial for tracking their growth, visualizing progress, and supporting reflective learning. Despite these benefits, challenges such as technical difficulties and time constraints were also noted.

Abstract

Effective communication is a cornerstone of academic and professional success, with both public speaking and interpersonal communication playing pivotal roles in university settings. This article examines the differences and interrelations between these two forms of communication within the context of higher education. Public speaking, characterized by structured, formal presentations, often highlights students’ ability to organize thoughts and present ideas to larger audiences. It is crucial for activities such as class presentations, conferences, and academic competitions. On the other hand, interpersonal communication, which involves more spontaneous, informal, and one-on-one or small group interactions, is essential for effective collaboration, networking, and fostering relationships in group projects and everyday university life. While public speaking develops clarity and persuasive skills, interpersonal communication fosters adaptability, empathy, and deeper connections. Both forms of communication are complementary and equally necessary for students’ holistic development, equipping them with the tools to thrive academically and in future professional environments. This article explores strategies to strengthen both public speaking and interpersonal communication skills, emphasizing the importance of integrating them into university curricula to prepare students for diverse communication challenges.
