Abstract

The study explored the impact of AI-based writing tools, namely QuillBot and ChatGPT, on enhancing the writing competence of students enrolled in the English for Business Writing course within the D4 Marketing Management program at Politeknik Negeri Malang. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through a series of pre-tests and post-tests to assess changes in students’ writing performance. The findings demonstrated a marked improvement across various writing components, with average scores consistently exceeding 3.0. ChatGPT played a pivotal role in facilitating idea generation and structuring written texts, while QuillBot proved effective in refining grammatical accuracy, spelling, and vocabulary usage. When used in tandem, these tools significantly improved the content quality, coherence, and overall organization of students' writing. The study recommends the sustained integration of these AI-powered applications alongside systematic writing practice and constructive teacher feedback. Moreover, it offers practical insights for language educators seeking to leverage artificial intelligence to support and enhance learners' writing development.

Abstract

This article discusses the representation of the relationship between humans and animals in J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan through an ecocritical approach. The main focus of this study is the character of a dog named Nana who acts as a caregiver for the children of the Darling family in the socio-cultural setting of the Edwardian era. By using close reading method and contextual-historical approach, this research reveals how Nana is not only portrayed as a pet, but also as a loving, responsible, and emotionally intelligent human being. However, Nana's position remains in a subordinate structure that reflects human domination over animals. This analysis shows that Nana's representation reflects Edwardian society's ambivalence towards animals: between affection and exploitation, between emotional closeness and denial of equality. Through an ecocritical approach, this article emphasizes the importance of rereading classic literary works as an effort to build ecological awareness and ethics towards non-human living beings, especially in the context of children's literature and environmental education.

Abstract

This study explores the embodiment of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s five stages of grief denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—through the philosophical insights of Morrie Schwartz as depicted in Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie. Emphasizing the transformative power of Morrie’s reflections on mortality, the research reveals an unconventional approach to grieving that centers on acceptance, compassion, and introspection. Departing from the conventional portrayal of grief as a tumultuous emotional journey, Morrie’s perspective reframes terminal illness as an opportunity for profound emotional clarity and growth. Utilizing a qualitative literary analysis, the study investigates the extent to which Morrie’s emotional trajectory aligns with or diverges from Kübler-Ross’s framework. The analysis finds that Morrie’s experience of grief unfolds in a fluid, contemplative fashion, offering a nuanced understanding of how inner wisdom can mitigate the psychological burden of impending death.

Abstract

This study explored the effectiveness of Wordwall Media in enhancing vocabulary acquisition among tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Sitoluori through a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted over two cycles. The findings revealed a marked improvement in vocabulary, assessed across three domains: spoken, written, and meaning. Initial pre-test scores showed averages of 52.72 (spoken), 29.63 (written), and 28.63 (meaning). In Cycle I, scores rose to 73.63 (spoken), 75 (written), and 49.09 (meaning), and further improved in Cycle II to 84.09 (spoken), 86.81 (written), and 84.09 (meaning). The use of Wordwall Media significantly supported vocabulary development by offering interactive and visually engaging content, such as animations and images, which enhanced student comprehension and motivation. The study concludes that integrating Wordwall Media into English instruction effectively addresses students’ vocabulary challenges. Teachers are encouraged to adopt this tool consistently to foster a more dynamic and effective learning environment.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of using descriptive texts to improve English vocabulary acquisition at SMP Negeri 2 Hiliduho. Motivated by students’ limited vocabulary mastery, which hinders their comprehension and writing of descriptive texts, the research employs a descriptive qualitative approach involving seventh-grade participants. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that descriptive texts provide meaningful context, aiding students in understanding and retaining new vocabulary. The inclusion of media such as images and videos further supports vocabulary learning by enhancing engagement and comprehension. Despite these benefits, challenges persist, including low motivation, repetitive instructional methods, and insufficient use of media, which limit students’ ability to relate new vocabulary to real-life contexts. Nevertheless, students expressed generally positive perceptions, noting that descriptive texts made learning more interactive, enjoyable, and useful for vocabulary development and writing improvement. The study recommends that teachers regularly integrate descriptive texts with visual aids and interactive strategies to foster greater student motivation and participation. These findings contribute to the advancement of more effective and engaging English language teaching practices at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study explores students' perspectives on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the course Exploitation des Ressources Numériques en Classe du FLE, within the French Language Education Program at Universitas Negeri Medan. The course emphasizes the linguistic use of numerical and digital resources to support French as a Foreign Language (FLE) instruction. Using a descriptive quantitative method, data were collected from second-semester students via questionnaires. The findings show that students positively view AI as a language support tool, particularly in idea generation, text translation, and teaching material development. AI encourages reasoned imitation, where learners not only replicate but also critically adapt AI-generated content for language teaching purposes. However, students also expressed concerns about excessive dependence on AI, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking, ethical use, and the teacher’s role in guiding proper language application. Technical issues such as limited internet access and device availability were also reported. In conclusion, students demonstrate a constructive yet cautious attitude toward AI in language learning. The study highlights the need to promote responsible and reflective use of AI in exploiting numerical resources to enhance linguistic competence in FLE classrooms.

Abstract

The Tayub tradition in Tegalagung Village, Tuban Regency, is a cultural performance that combines dance, music, and symbolic language reflecting the values and identity of the local community. This study explores how verbal and non-verbal language in Tayub carries social meaning using a sociosemiotic approach. Data were collected through observation and interviews with key cultural actors, including dancers (ledhek), musicians, and elders. The analysis applies Peirce’s semiotic theory and the concept of symbolic interaction to understand how language and signs operate in Tayub performances. Findings show that Tayub functions not only as entertainment but also as a medium of communication, cultural preservation, and social bonding. Verbal elements such as song lyrics and spoken interactions convey messages of love, respect, and tradition, while non-verbal signs like gestures, costumes, and facial expressions carry symbolic meanings that reflect social roles and values. The use of language in Tayub is context-dependent and varies according to the performer, audience, and setting. This study highlights the importance of understanding traditional performances through a linguistic and semiotic lens to preserve their cultural significance and deepen appreciation of local heritage.

Abstract

Student understanding plays a crucial role in the teaching and learning process. In addition to the teaching methods applied by the teacher, the language used in the classroom can significantly aid students in grasping the subject matter, especially in language learning such as English. The language used during lessons greatly influences how well students comprehend the material presented by the lecturer. When the teacher uses English entirely throughout the lesson, some students may struggle to follow and understand the content. However, in practice, some lecturers adopt a bilingual or multilingual approach, often applying the concept of code-switching. This makes it easier for students to understand the material. This study employed a qualitative approach through interviews and classroom observations to collect data. The findings reveal various types and purposes of code-switching used during classroom instruction. The main reason for using code-switching is to provide clearer explanations and help students better understand the learning material.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the policy on appointing honorary teachers as ASN PPPK (Government Employees with Work Agreements) in Kelumpang Hilir District, which faces numerous structural, administrative, and resource-related challenges. The main obstacles identified include limited budget allocations, weak inter-agency coordination, and social resistance from some honorary teachers who perceive the selection process as unfair. Nevertheless, this policy holds significant potential to enhance educational quality, teacher professionalism, and equitable teacher distribution in remote areas. The study highlights the critical role of local governments in supporting the policy's execution by improving coordination mechanisms, ensuring efficient budget management, and delivering clear public outreach. Moreover, strengthening personnel information systems and conducting regular policy evaluations are essential to ensuring its effectiveness. The findings aim to offer practical recommendations for policymakers to overcome existing barriers and support the long-term success of honorary teacher appointments, particularly in stabilizing educational human resources and improving language education quality.

Abstract

Vocational education plays a pivotal role in enhancing the competitiveness of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates in the face of global demands. This study explores the role and effectiveness of vocational education policies in improving language competence and graduate employability at SMKN 1 Telagasari. Employing a case study approach, the findings reveal that policies encouraging collaboration between schools and industry, along with the adoption of competency-based curricula, significantly support the development of both technical skills and language-related soft skills. The results show a marked improvement in graduate employability following the implementation of these policies. However, the study also identifies challenges such as regional disparities in vocational education quality and limited funding and infrastructure. Strengthening policy support and increasing resource allocation are essential to improving vocational education outcomes at a national level.
