Abstract

This study delves into the effects of the SISPEL (Sistem Pelanggaran) application on character development among students in vocational high schools. Specifically, it focuses on 23 students from the Vocational High School Khusus Angkatan Laut - 1 Surabaya, who have been identified for violating school rules. By exclusively employing the SISPEL application, the research intricately examines its role in shaping character traits within the context of vocational education. Through a meticulous questionnaire-based survey, the study endeavors to highlight the application's influence on ethical values, moral principles, and the cultivation of character-building skills. The primary goal is to unveil the multi-dimensional impact it has on fostering holistic student development. The findings of this exploration not only enrich the current comprehension of character development within this specific educational framework but also offer insights into the potential of technology-driven tools like SISPEL to cultivate well-rounded individuals. This research contributes to the broader discourse on character education and underscores the significance of innovative approaches in molding the ethical and moral foundation of students.

Abstract

This study explores the use of AI technology in the Google Read Along application as a tool to improve English pronunciation, particularly for students who struggle with English pronunciation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the Google Read Along app's effectiveness in improving English pronunciation, analyze the students' responses to using Google Read Along, and discover the factors that help students succeed in improving their pronunciation. Read Aloud is used in conjunction with AI technology to help children learn by listening to and precisely repeating new words and phrases. A quasi-experimental method was used to collect data, with 35 students in the experimental group and 35 in the control group. A questionnaire was presented to the experimental group regarding how they responded to Google Read Along, and interviews were conducted as further information to identify the factors affecting their pronunciation improvement. The results of the N-Gain test show that the Google Read Along is efficient in helping students improve their English pronunciation when used in combined with the Read Aloud approach by an average of 65.73 percent. As a result, a teaching strategy that combines the Read Aloud method and AI Google Read Along can be an effective alternative. Additionally, the instant feedback offered by this application gives students a chance to recognize their errors directly, and the convenience of using the application for learning anytime anywhere has a significant impact on their success in improving their pronunciation.

Abstract

Classroom interaction plays an important role in the teaching and learning process. It is because it involves the interaction between teacher, student and student-student in which they influence each other in the classroom interaction. It is also said that classroom interaction gives a chance to ask, to guess, to think even to the course material in order to make interaction between the teacher and students their selves in the classroom. This research is aimed to analyze the classroom interaction by using FIACS. This research is included as a quantitative content analysis design. This research involves a teacher and the 2nd semester students of STKIP Terang Bangsa. The observation is employed in this research as the method of collecting data. After that, the data would be calculated by using a formula. The results show that the Teacher Initiated category is the highest dominant in the classroom interaction. It has 3.422 or 95,50% out of 3.583 interactions in the classroom. Then, the Student-Initiated category has 161 or 4,50% of the total. Lastly, the Student-student initiated category has no interactions. Due to the limitations of the research, the researcher suggests that future research on this topic should involve more participants in interacting not only teacher to student but student to student, so the conclusion can be drawn more valid.

Abstract

Teaching English as a foreign language is a great challenge for EFL teachers in Indonesia because they are expected to be more creative and innovative in arousing students' attention during the learning-teaching process. The Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) is one of the teaching methods in foreign language learning that may be utilized in teaching speaking and listening skills. This conceptual article attempts to explore how ALM can accelerate EFL learners’ speaking and listening skills. Therefore, it discusses the concept of ALM, the strategy of ALM in learning speaking and listening skills, as well as the benefits of using ALM in learning language skills. A descriptive qualitative research approach with library research design was utilized to review and explore the concept, strategy, and benefits of using the ALM in accelerating EFL students’ speaking and listening skills. This method enables researchers to delve into relevant information and experts' perspectives on the ALM. In addition, it gains more insight into learning and teaching speaking and listening skills, and reviews the learning of speaking and listening skills using the ALM. The data were obtained from previous research findings, related articles, and documentation on the ALM. The data were qualitatively analyzed and comprehensively described the issues and provided valuable insights for all stakeholders in the field of education, including EFL teachers, students, school curriculum developers, and researchers.

Abstract

Understanding and interpreting text is a fundamental skill for students across disciplines, not limited to those in the English Department. Proficiency in reading comprehension not only enhances vocabulary and writing abilities but also fosters overall academic growth. This research endeavors to pinpoint the primary challenges encountered by first-semester students at Politeknik Negeri Banjarmasin in comprehending written material. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, the study aims to identify the most daunting aspects of reading comprehension. A reading comprehension assessment comprising 40 multiple-choice questions, administered via Google Form, was utilized to gather data. Analysis revealed that students encounter significant hurdles in this domain. Across all question types, spanning the five facets of reading comprehension, difficulty levels were consistently high. Particularly, questions assessing the determination of the main idea posed the greatest challenge, with 60% of students struggling in this area, followed by making inferences (44%), locating references (41%), understanding vocabulary (36%), and grasping detailed information (34%). Notably, identifying the main idea emerged as the most formidable task, whereas discerning detailed information proved relatively less challenging. These findings serve to highlight areas for improvement in understanding main ideas and inform strategies aimed at enhancing comprehension skills.
