Abstract

The cultural textbook analysis in this study utilized an English junior high school textbook, which was authored by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. The examination of textbook contents holds significant importance, as it has been observed that certain junior high school educators in Indonesia may rely solely on instructional materials without conducting thorough research or considering potential cultural allusions.  In addition to this, the integration of other cultures such as the local or indigenous culture, the target culture, and the global culture within textbooks enables students and educators to acquire knowledge about diverse cultural perspectives alongside the English language. This study seeks to provide an answer to the following query based on the study's Introduction that was just presented: What is the distribution of cultural in the following textbooks? The results show that the three textbooks for grade VII-IX present multicultural integration from the three culture categories. The percentage of cultures in each textbook was not balanced. It can be seen in the first textbook for Grade VII that the source culture was 54%; International culture having 38% and the target culture was 7%. Moreover, the second textbook which is for Grade VIII presented that the international culture was presented more than the other types of culture. The percentage was 60%, which means the global culture played higher than the source culture having 22% and the target culture with only 18%. On the third textbook which is   for Grade IX displayed source culture having 59% which means that the Indonesian culture was presented exhaustively over the international culture, with only 32%, and the target culture was 9%.

Abstract

The researcher found fears of students making mistake are among the challenges the researcher has identified while working with students' English language skills. The students of SMK Wikrama 1 are generally energetic and like doing fun activities. Because of that, the researcher decided to use communicative games as a means of enhancing students' oral communication skills in the eleventh grade at Smk Wikrama 1 in Banjarmasin. Experimental designs such as one-group pre-test-post-test or pre-experimental designs will be employed in this study. A total of fourteen students from SMK Wikrama 1, who were in the eleventh grade, participated in this study. The data was derived from the students' scores on both the pretest and posttest. The researcher will utilize SPPS and the dependent T-test formula to assess the data. The results of the t-test for one-sample paired indicate that students' speaking skills were lower before and after the use of communicative games, with the former having a mean score of 62.86% and the latter of 71.07%. Treatment improved students' speaking skills compared to pre-treatment scores. The results show that eleventh graders at SMK Wikrama 1 Banjarmasin are improving their speaking abilities via the use of communicative games. Keywords: Communicative games; Speaking skill

Abstract

This study investigates the role of clause complexity in students' academic writing, focusing on the application of Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) symbols to create persuasive and coherent discourse. Employing a qualitative single-case method, the analysis examines a specific text on the dangers of smoking produced by students. The findings showcase the students' effective use of varied clause types and relationships, as well as their ability to present a systematic and logical flow of ideas supported by factual evidence. The results emphasize the importance of mastering multiple elements, such as utilizing diverse clause types and maintaining a strategic narrative flow, for successful academic writing. These insights can serve as valuable information for educators and academic writers alike, offering a deeper understanding of the implications of clause complexity and its role in fostering effective communication in academic writing.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to gain a thorough understanding of how the most recent information technology has affected English language learning in the present, as well as to determine what kinds of platforms and applications are thought to be most useful for helping students improve their command of the language. Additionally, a detailed analysis of the English language learning platform's implementation in Muhammadiyah schools in the Metro will be included in this research. A survey design is used in this study as a quantitative research methodology. The participants in this survey research will be drawn from MTs Muhammadiyah Metro, SMP Muhammadiyah Metro, and SMP Muhammadiyah Ahmad Dahlan, three Muhammadiyah secondary schools located in Metro City. Once the pre-survey is completed, samples will be chosen and the methodology will be decided upon by researchers at the schools and madrasas that have been identified as the research population. The result of the study shows that Female research participants make up the majority (90.09%) of the sample, while male subjects make up just 9.01%), according to the findings of the demographic analysis of the study data. The demographic information provided above indicates that there may be gender biases or trends in the research that could affect the analysis's findings or the dynamics of student participation in the use of technology in the classroom. Moreover, the research focus was at a certain grade level or educational unit stage in high school, as the bulk of research subjects (90.08%) were 17 years old.

Abstract

The importance of exciting learning media cannot be ignored in education. This research aims to develop Android-based learning media to improve fourth-grade elementary school students’ vocabulary mastery. Besides, this also finds out the feasibility and effectiveness of the application. This learning media uses the ADDIE development model, which involves five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research results show that the application developed, called the LEVO App, can significantly improve students’ vocabulary mastery. Trials were carried out at several stages, including one-on-one, small group, and field trials, with student response results. Apart from that, the results of the pre-test and post-test show a significant increase in students’ vocabulary mastery after using this learning media. Validation by media experts and material experts also indicates that this application is very suitable for use as a learning media. Thus, it is hoped that developing Android-based learning media can be an effective and efficient solution for improving elementary school students’ English language skills.Keywords: ADDIE Model, LEVOApp, Vocabulary, Teaching Vocabulary

Abstract

Speaking is a productive skill that cannot be learned quickly but through a process requiring time, energy, and effort. To accelerate the development of speaking skills, English learners, such as those in senior high school, frequently participate in learning communities, such as Community of Practice. Several studies related to community of practices have been conducted, which reported teacher learning community and learning with peers. However, there is a scarce discussion on the concept of a Community of Practice for learning English-speaking skills. Therefore, this research investigated whether the English Club supports students’ speaking skills. The research methodology used in this study is Narrative Inquiry. The subjects of the research were the students and the coach. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 6 Banjarmasin. The Researcher employed instruments such as observation checklists and interview guidelines. The findings of the study showed that the English Club at SMA Negeri 6 Banjarmasin supports students in developing their speaking skills. The English Club is a community of students who actively practice using English for communication. The club supports informal learning, focusing on developing public speaking skills through storytelling, speech, and debate. The club's activities are designed to enhance students' fluency and pronunciation.
