This study compares the effectiveness of Google Translate and printed dictionaries in enhancing students' vocabulary acquisition. A quantitative, quasi-experimental design was employed. Participants were twenty eighth-grade students from SMPN 4 Tolitoli (2023/2024), Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, divided into a control group (using printed dictionaries) and a treatment group (using Google Translate). Pre-tests and post-tests, consisting of multiple-choice, matching, and fill-in-the-blank tasks, assessed vocabulary knowledge. Data collection involved pre-tests, a four-week treatment, and post-tests. Descriptive statistics and t-tests analyzed the data. Both groups showed improved vocabulary acquisition post-treatment, with no significant differences in learning outcomes. Despite similar average scores, substantial variability was observed within each group, reflected by high standard deviations and wide score ranges. These results suggest both tools have unique strengths: Google Translate offers convenience and accessibility, while printed dictionaries provide comprehensive definitions and contextual understanding. A blended approach incorporating both tools is recommended for educators and curriculum designers. Future research should explore long-term vocabulary retention and the integration of digital tools into traditional learning frameworks, considering personalized strategies to address diverse student needs.

This research examines the correlation among religious tourism, the use of foreign languages, and tourist motivation at Bunda Beach and Resort. The background of this research highlights the importance of information in foreign languages in religious tourism destinations which can influence tourists' experiences and motivation. The aim of this research is to understand the dynamics and factors that influence religious tourism, especially the use of Latin at Bunda Beach and Resort. The research method used is a mixed method, with data collection through questionnaires and interviews. The research results show that the use of Latin at Bunda Beach and Resort is not the main factor that attracts tourists. The main motivation of tourists to visit this place is to freshen up, pray and enjoy the religious atmosphere offered by the resort. The conclusion of this study is that although the use of Latin provides a strong religious overtone, this does not significantly influence tourist motivation. Bunda Beach and Resort management can consider adding other elements that are more attractive to general tourists.

The teaching factory learning model has become an important strategy in enhancing students' expertise in Vocational High Schools (SMK) in South Aceh. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this learning model in improving students' skills, particularly in the concentration of computer and network engineering expertise. The research shows that products, whether goods or services, in the teaching factory learning model play a crucial role as the main medium in delivering expertise to students. Block schedules are used to optimize resources efficiently, while Job Sheets regulate the sequence of materials to achieve the desired competencies. Supporting factors in the implementation of the teaching factory include support from school management, active student participation, and trust from the community as consumers of the products. However, some obstacles have also been identified, such as lack of socialization, suboptimal teaching staff, and limited facilities and infrastructure. Practical learning processes are conducted according to real work procedures, with a focus on student-centered learning, self-learning, and learning by doing principles. This allows students to learn through direct practice, not just theory. Thus, the teaching factory learning model at SMK in South Aceh contributes to enhancing students' expertise in the concentration of computer and network engineering.

Teachers’ strictness has a role in shaping students' learning and has become an extensive research subject of education. This research is focused on teachers' strictness, which impacts the students' engagement, academic achievements, and emotions. Findings showed that the balancing of approach where strictness, support, and clear communication can impact the students' achievement and their behavioral development positively. The method of strict discipline may lead to the effect of decreased motivation, lower engagement, and increased anxiety.

Furthermore, the education strategy that interprets discipline and empathy is recommended to foster a conducive environment for the development of the students holistically. These findings underlined the complexity of the effectiveness of the teacher which advocates a nuanced approach of discipline that supports academic rigor and emotional support.

Writing a thesis proposal is an important part of undergraduate education. However, many students face difficulties in writing a thesis proposal, such as selecting an appropriate topic and systematic preparation. In technological developments, ChatGPT can help students in the process of writing a thesis proposal by providing writing assistance, critical thinking, and other information. This research aims to gain the perception and challenges of students in using ChatGPT in assisting them writing their thesis proposals. To get to these aims, the researcher implemented a research and development design by using qualitative methods.. This research was conducted at Al Asyariah Mandar University . The subjects of this research were the seventh semester students of Mathematic Education and Bahasa Indonesia Education in the academic year 2023-2024. In this study, students will be interviewed and asked to share their experiences, the effectiveness and challenges on the assistance of chatgpt in writing their thesis proposals. In the interview results, ChatGPT helps users in finding thesis proposal titles, give information and ideas in building introductions, and providing alternative solutions to deepen the understanding of the proposal. It is important to consider and verify information with more reliable and accurate sources. The use of ChatGPT in writing thesis proposals is an interesting and effective alternative, but users also need to remain critical and selective in utilizing it. In further research, more interviews and case studies need to be conducted to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the use of ChatGPT in writing thesis proposals. Although ChatGPT has limitations, respondents consider its use to improve productivity and learning efficiency. Therefore, the use of ChatGPT can be considered as an attractive alternative in writing thesis proposals, while maintaining a critical approach in utilizing it and verifying the information provided.

Academic emotions are the feelings or emotions that students experience when they are learning. This study aimed to analyze students' academic emotions regarding the use of English-native speaker videos on YouTube for learning vocabulary. A qualitative design was used to conduct the study, which employed a questionnaire and in-depth interviews to collect data.
