Abstract

Indonesian has become the official language of the UN. Many BIPA students want to learn Indonesian online. However, online learning creates obstacles such as time differences between teachers and BIPA students, internet connections, and providing less than optimal feedback. This research aims to develop m-learning with automatic feedback for BIPA level 2 learners. This research uses a 4D development model: define, design, develop and deploy. This study's instrument is  a questionnaire distributed to 2 validators and 18 BIPA learners. The results of this study are m-learning products that minimize internet connections; once installed, students only need to be connected to the internet when working on questions. In addition, m-learning is also equipped with automatic feedback that appears immediately after students answer questions. The results of the product trial show that students can use m-learning to learn anytime and anywhere, including in areas with minimal internet access. Automatic feedback in m-learning also helps students learn independently because they do not need to wait for feedback from teachers. The automatic feedback in M-learning is only for listening and reading questions while speaking and writing questions are still in the form of answer keywords or assessment rubrics that the teacher must correct. Based on expert validation and product trials with an average score of 88.8, we conclude that the development of m-learning is suitable for BIPA level 2 students.

Abstract

Proficiency in multimodal writing is becoming progressively crucial for students, particularly in the realm of academic writing. Nevertheless, the existing learning materials in higher education fail to adequately meet those requirements. Hence, the goal of this study is to create a workbook that will assist students in improving their ability to write using various modes in academic writing classes. This study employs Research and Development, with a specific focus on the Analysis and Design phases of the ADDIE approach. The investigation had a total of 114 participants. We employed triangulation techniques to develop a questionnaire and gathered data in July 2024. Subsequently, we analyzed and displayed the data using descriptive statistics, elucidating its meaning in accordance with the pre-established categories. The requirements assessment revealed that students necessitate support in academic writing, including obtaining credible sources, employing technological tools, completing plagiarism checks, and maintaining citations. Students desire a customizable learning structure that allows them to produce multimodal (digital) texts and engage in activities both individually and collaboratively. The needs analysis determines the structure of the multimodal project workbook, which consists of five sections arranged according to the syntax of project-based learning. To achieve more effective and practical outcomes, it is critical to proceed with the research by carrying out the Development and Implementation stages.

Abstract

Translatability and untranslatability have been significant issues in song translation, particularly regarding figurative expressions. The present study aims to investigate the translatability and untranslatability of figurative language found in the song lyric “How Far I’ll Go” and its translated version, “Seb’rapa Jauh Ku Melangkah”. It also examines the translation techniques employed by the translator to address these issues. This qualitative study was conducted in the light of Kennedy’s (1979) classification of figurative language and the application of Molina & Albir’s (2002) translation techniques.  The finding of the study revealed two types of figurative language translation: translatability and untranslatability. Translatability was found in the translation of personification and hyperbole, while untranslatability was found in the translation of lyrics featuring alliteration, symbolism, and assonance. To address these translation challenges, the translator employs several techniques: particularization, amplification, and reduction were used to translate the personification and hyperbole.  In contrast, amplification and particularization were applied to tackle the untranslatability present in alliteration, symbolism, and assonance. The untranslatability issue arises due to several factors: linguistic and cultural untranslatability, that can result in meanings from the source language being not equivalent or are unknown in the target language. To address untranslatability, the translator often needs to make creative decisions to capture the core meaning and message of the source text while considering the linguistics, cultural, and stylistic context of the target text. Song translation is a complex process that involves more than just the ability to transfer meaning, but also creativity and cultural sensitivity.

Abstract

Encouraging students to repeatedly read and listen to resources can be challenging for language teachers. Although students understand that reading and listening are essential for language acquisition, few spend their free time engaging in these activitiesStudents often remain passive and hesitant to read or listen to English texts on their own due to a lack of understanding of the additional benefits, insufficient guidance on choosing appropriate texts for their proficiency level, and ingrained habits. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the impact of the Online Extensive Reading and Listening (OERL) program on students' reading and listening comprehension. Additionally, it sought to assess the variations in students' performance following exposure to the OERL intervention. This quasi-experimental research utilized a pretest-posttest design, involving sixty eleventh-grade students from a senior high school in Banjarbaru, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved administering reading and listening comprehension tests, and MANCOVA test was employed for data analysis. Results indicated a significant positive impact of the OERL program on enhancing students' reading and listening comprehension. Furthermore, noteworthy differences were observed in the reading and listening achievements of students exposed to the OERL program compared to those receiving intensive reading and listening with teacher-selected texts, with a significance level of 0.000. In essence, the OERL program proved valuable in improving students' reading and listening comprehension.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) within the Kurikulum Merdeka framework in Gowa District, Indonesia, focusing on English teachers' experiences and strategies. Using qualitative methods, including surveys (n=12), focus group discussions (n=7), and in-depth interviews (n=2), the study identifies challenges such as limited vocabulary, uneven proficiency levels, and insufficient resources. Strategies to overcome these challenges include promoting peer communication, leveraging multimedia resources, and fostering parental involvement. Comparisons with curriculum reforms in South Korea, Japan, and Bangladesh provide a global perspective on CLT implementation.The findings highlight the positive impact of CLT on students' communicative competence and suggest that Kurikulum Merdeka's focus on independent learning and project-based initiatives, along with collaborative activities such as English day, clubs, camps, and competitions, can further support CLT. However, effective execution, continuous evaluation, and addressing diverse educational backgrounds and regional disparities are essential for achieving the desired English proficiency outcomes. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers to enhance English language teaching in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to interpret the effect of the application of the Cooperative learning model type Team Game Tournament assisted by Kahoot application and learning motivation on learning outcomes on the material of writing official letters and personal letters of SMP Negeri 02 Gunung Talang students. This research is classified as experimental research with a population of 355 students and a sample of 64 students. Data on learning outcomes were obtained through objective question tests on the material of writing official and personal letters, while learning motivation data were obtained from distributing learning motivation questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted manually and using the IBM SPSS Statistics 27 application. Based on the results of the analysis, the Team Game Tournament type Cooperative learning model assisted by Kahoot application was proven effective in improving student learning outcomes significantly compared to the Conventional learning model. This is evidenced by tcount> ttable (df = 62; α = 0.05), namely 8.444> 1.66980 and Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05 then H0 is rejected. These findings indicate that the application of the Team Game Tournament type Cooperative learning model assisted by the Kahoot application can significantly improve student learning outcomes. In addition, the results showed that students' learning motivation, both high and low, did not significantly affect learning outcomes in the context of using the Cooperative learning model of Team Game Tournament type assisted by Kahoot application. The analysis also showed no significant interaction between the learning model and students' learning motivation, with an interaction F value (FoA*B) = 0.013 and p-value = 0.908. Thus, the effectiveness of the Team Game Tournament type cooperative learning model assisted by Kahoot application was consistent across various levels of student learning motivation, both high and low. This finding indicates that the learning model is effective for all students regardless of their learning motivation level.

Abstract

This research analyzes the phenomenon of amelioration on concrete nouns in the novels Layar Terkembang by Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana and Sitti Nurbaya by Marah Roesli. Amelioration is the process of changing the meaning of a word that leads to a more positive connotation. The purpose of this study is to identify the forms of amelioration, the positive connotations formed, and how these changes in meaning reflect the social and cultural context of colonial Indonesia. The research method used is corpus linguistics with documentation techniques through the KORTARA (Korpus Nusantara) application to identify frequency patterns and word collocation in literary texts. The results showed that there were 57 words undergoing amelioration that reflected changes in social views, culture, and religious values. For example, the word "khalikulalam" in Sitti Nurbaya's novel has undergone improvements, a shift in meaning that increases its value and respect; The word "virgin" in the novel Layar Terkembang carries a more subtle and respectful connotation, describing a young woman who is seen not only by her status but also associated with beauty, purity. The words not only have basic meanings, but also additional connotations that symbolize respect, sanctity, spiritual power, and cultural pride. The amelioration of these concrete nouns shows the changes in colonial society's perspective towards social roles and cultural values in daily life. The findings support the theory that amelioration is closely related to broader social dynamics, where words with high moral and cultural values tend to experience an increase in meaning. This research is expected to contribute to the study of Indonesian linguistics and semantic education, as well as add to the understanding of the interaction between language and social values in society.

Abstract

Content-based Instruction (CBI) uses authentic materials and language as a medium for teaching English. It aligns with the ESP concept in vocational education and might affect students’ perception and motivation. This study assessed vocational high school students’ perception and motivation toward CBI implementation in teaching English. The case study involved 35 students of the 10.2 Culinary Arts Major class, SMK Negeri 2 Godean, Sleman Yogyakarta. The study was started from March to June 2024. The samples were determined through the purpose sampling technique, which involved all the participants as samples. Then, the instruments being used were validated questionnaires (a Pearson correlation value of 0.445 to 0.877 and a Cronbach alpha value of 0.997) supported by open-ended questions and classroom observation. The results showed that vocational high school students have a moderate level of perception (3.31) and motivation (3.44) on CBI implementation based on the Likert Scales’ interpretation. However, the students have a high perception of the authentic materials being used and instrumental motivation about the importance of English in their lives. This leads them to have a willingness to learn English. It is supported by their positive responses to open-ended questions and nuances in classroom observation. Meanwhile, it is vital to maintain internal motivation and be assertive in implementing CBI by applying clear learning objectives and contracts to make a conducive classroom. Finally, due to participants’ limitations, conducting future studies with broader participants, including teachers and students from other majors, is crucial.

Abstract

Research on speech acts has been extensively conducted by scholars; however, studies specifically focusing on prohibitive speech acts, especially regarding the forms and functions of local wisdom values within these acts, are still quite rare. This research is aimed at exploring the forms and functions of local wisdom values in the prohibitive speech acts of the Kerinci community. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method which involved ten informants from Pondok Tinggi Village and Sungai Penuh Village, Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province. The data were collected using observation, note-taking, and recording for two months. The data were analyzed qualitatively by using an interactive model. The results show that the forms of local wisdom values in the prohibitive speech acts of the Kerinci community were prohibitive speech acts with consequences and without consequences. These prohibitions encompass local wisdom values across moral, respectful behaviour, health, safety, social harmony, responsibility, ethics, and environmental stewardship. Moreover, the functions of local wisdom values in the prohibitive speech acts in the Kerinci community serve as a means of behaviour control and convey local wisdom values that support moral education and environmental preservation. Furthermore, the functions emphasize the importance of integrating local values into education to enhance community awareness of the environment and social relationships. Thus, integrating these local values into educational contexts could foster community awareness of environmental and social responsibilities, supporting cultural preservation and reinforcing the importance of these values for future generations.
