Abstract

The ability to write in English is a vital skill that students need to succeed in their academic work, professional careers, and international interactions. The research investigates how HelloTalk, a social media-based language-learning platform, affects the writing abilities and opinions of 20 EFL students at Universitas Muslim Indonesia. The research design applied a quantitative pre- and post-test design to evaluate students' writing abilities using IELTS mock-up tests and closed-ended questionnaires that measured their perceptions across four domains: Technology, Cognitive, Contextual, and Linguistic. The participants followed a four-week program that included HelloTalk activities, such as Moments, for posting and conversing with native or proficient speakers and for providing feedback to their peers. The Wilcoxon test results showed that participants achieved a significant improvement in their writing band scores (p < 0.05), as evidenced by more effective use of vocabulary and more organised, easier-to-understand written texts. Pearson correlation analysis indicated strong positive relationships between contextual engagement and cohesion, and between technological engagement and lexical resource development, whereas improvements in grammar accuracy were limited. This study reveals that HelloTalk may be the most useful way to improve as an EFL writer and should be used with form-based teaching strategies to help students meet academic writing standards.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of church congregational social support on the psychological well-being of families affected by mental disorders in Makassar City. The background of this research is grounded in the growing complexity of mental health challenges within urban families, which are often accompanied by social stigma, relational isolation, and limited access to psychosocial support. Under such conditions, church communities may function as social networks that provide emotional, social, and spiritual support to affected families. This research employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 350 church congregants. The instrument was designed to measure the level of congregational social support and the psychological well-being of families in an operationalized manner. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to assess the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The results revealed a significance value of 0.000, which is below the 0.05 threshold, with a positive t-value of 7.697. These findings indicate that higher levels of congregational social support are associated with improved psychological well-being among families experiencing mental health problems. Congregational support operates as a psychosocial resource that assists families in maintaining emotional stability and relational functioning amid persistent psychological stressors.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pengelolaan layanan perpustakaan khusus dalam mendukung efektivitas proses pembelajaran di SMP Telkom Makassar dan SMA Negeri 2 Makassar. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, dengan data yang dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan analisis dokumen. Informan terdiri dari kepala sekolah, kepala perpustakaan, pustakawan, dan staf administrasi perpustakaan. Analisis data dilakukan melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan perpustakaan di SMP Telkom Makassar telah menerapkan sistem manajemen berbasis strategi perencanaan, layanan yang sepenuhnya otomatis, literasi program terstruktur, dan mekanisme evaluasi berbasis indikator kinerja, termasuk statistik pengunjung dan tingkat sirkulasi buku. Ketersediaan sumber daya yang memadai, fasilitas digital, dan kolaborasi eksternal semakin memperkuat peran perpustakaan sebagai pusat sumber belajar. Sebaliknya, pengelolaan perpustakaan di SMA Negeri 2 Makassar masih didominasi oleh metode manual, dengan keterbatasan dalam keragaman koleksi, fasilitas, dan digitalisasi, meskipun perencanaan tahunan dan dukungan kepala sekolah telah diterapkan dengan cukup baik. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan layanan perpustakaan yang efektif memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap optimalisasi pembelajaran dengan meningkatkan akses informasi, mendorong pengembangan literasi, dan menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang kondusif. Studi ini merekomendasikan penguatan inisiatif transformasi digital, perluasan koleksi teks non-buku, dan pengembangan indikator evaluasi yang lebih sistematis untuk meningkatkan kualitas layanan perpustakaan sekolah.

Abstract

This study explores the role of parents in the maintenance of the Buginese language within the family, addressing the urgent issue of language shift and the decline of ethnic languages in Indonesia. In light with these issues, it aims to understand the parental attitudes and decisions influence Heritage Language Maintenance (HLM) and the logical reasons why families are crucial agents in preserving the Buginese language. Using a, descriptive qualitative approach, this study involved semi-structured interviews with Buginese parents employing thematic analysis. The thematic analysis revealed that parents view the Buginese language as both a cultural heritage and a key element of identity. However, while parents strongly believe in the importance of preserving the language, the actual maintenance practices are often informal, relying on daily conversations rather than structured educational approaches. The findings highlight a gap between ideological commitment and practical language management, suggesting that more structured strategies, including educational support and community involvement, are necessary for effective language preservation. This study underscores the vital role of families in sustaining linguistic and cultural heritage, offering valuable insights for future language maintenance initiatives.

Abstract

Because writing requires the students to have idea generation, organization, and language system up to date good, it still becomes harder skill for Indonesian junior high school student. This research aimed to investigate the implementation of Genre-Based Approach (GBA) as a way of improving students’ writing ability in recount text viewed from aspects of content, organization and language use. This is a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. Twenty-five students of grade nine formed the participants. Data were collected using writing tests given before and after six treatment meetings. As for the treatment, it was implemented based on core stages of GBA, which are Building Knowledge of the Field, Modelling of the Text, Joint Construction of the Text and Independent Construction of the Text. The findings indicated continual progress across all measured areas. The mean score of content from 56 pre-test increased to 80 in the post-test with a percentage difference of 42.86%. Organization went from 53 to 64, which is a 20.75% improvement. But the biggest gain was in language use, which rose from 41 to 73 (an increase of goal achievement of 78.05%). Inferential analysis also highlighted that there are statistically significant differences deviance between pre-test and post-test scores in terms of content (t = 13.66), organization (t = 3.77) and language use (t = 10.42) which were greater than the critical value 2.06 at.05 level of significance. This is evidenced by the finding that GBA improved students’ writing skill in recount text. The intervention provided pedagogy (structured scaffolding), explicit modelling and guided practice that supported the students in inventing ideas, ordering events according to time and using grammatical aspects appropriate for writing.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the types and functions of code-switching used by fourth- semester students of the English Education Department at STKIP YPUP Makassar. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method, involving six students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observation and semi- structured interviews. The analysis followed Miles and Huberman's stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that students used three types of code-switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag switching. The most dominant type was intra-sentential. Regarding function, code-switching was mainly used for affective purposes, topic switching, and repetition for clarity. Students switched between English, Indonesian, and local dialects to enhance communication, express emotions, and manage topic transitions. These findings suggest that code-switching is a natural strategy that supports both linguistic and social interaction in multilingual classrooms.
