Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of Kemaliq as a medium for maintaining language and culture. This research uses qualitative methods in data collection and analysis. The data collection techniques used observation, interview, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that Kemaliq is the language and culture of the Sasak community. First, Kemaliq can be used for various cultural activities, such as Nede, the ritual for asking for rain during the rice planting season. The local community will bring Dulang during the ritual. The Dulang serves as an iconic sign, representing gratitude and communal unity. Kemaliq can be used as a medium of education for the community regarding Kemaliq’s history and also as a place to learn Sasak literature. For example, at Kemaliq, there is a reading of Sasak literature that uses the Sasak Halus language, also called Linggih Kerame. The Linggih Kerame language is very rarely used in daily communication and is only used in certain activities and is only understood by a small part of the community. They can facilitate people who want to learn the Sasak Halus language, ensuring that traditional languages are not lost or forgotten amid language development in the modern era. This study demonstrates that the interaction of iconic codes within Kemaliq strengthens intergenerational cultural continuity and reinforces the collective identity of the Sasak community. The efforts made by the people of Ganti village to maintain the existence of their culture include forming an organization engaged in the preservation.

Abstract

This study examines the formative use of Wordwall as a gamified digital learning tool to enhance vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension among elementary EFL learners at MIN 1 Ogan Ilir. Despite the increasing integration of digital platforms in early language education, research on how gamified tools function as formative assessment mechanisms remains limited, particularly in Indonesian primary school contexts. Employing a qualitative, library-based research design, this study synthesizes empirical findings from recent peer-reviewed publications to analyze Wordwall’s pedagogical affordances, challenges, and learning outcomes. The review reveals that Wordwall supports vocabulary acquisition through interactive tasks that promote repetition, contextualization, and immediate corrective feedback. In reading comprehension, features such as Group Sort, Matching Pairs, and Quiz facilitate learners’ ability to identify main ideas, sequence events, and make inferences. Gamification elements; including leaderboards, timers, and reward systems, further increase learners’ engagement and intrinsic motivation, contributing to a more active and student-centered learning environment. However, the findings also highlight practical challenges such as unequal device access, unstable connectivity, and limited teacher digital literacy, which require adaptive instructional strategies for equitable implementation. Overall, this study underscores the value of integrating gamified formative tools like Wordwall to strengthen young learners’ vocabulary and reading skills. It recommends that schools provide stronger technological support and professional development to maximize the educational impact of digital formative assessment in primary EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition plays a crucial role in mastering English as a foreign language (EFL), yet numerous learners face challenges in expanding their lexical repertoire and applying it accurately. This research investigates how shadowing techniques delivered through mobile technology can enhance vocabulary mastery among EFL students. Using a mixed-methods design with an experimental framework, the study involved 40 intermediate-level learners from a local English course in Kampung Inggris Pare, selected via purposive sampling. Over the course of four weeks, participants engaged in shadowing activities using mobile applications, including Google Voice Assistant and Duolingo. Data collection combined quantitative measures—pre-test and post-test scores—with qualitative insights drawn from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Statistical analysis using a paired-samples t-test produced a t-value of -26.502 (df = 30) and a two-tailed p-value of 0.000, which is well below the 0.05 threshold, confirming a statistically significant improvement in vocabulary performance following the intervention. This suggests that the mobile-assisted shadowing approach effectively supports authentic and meaningful vocabulary learning. Qualitative feedback further indicated that participants benefited from the method’s accessibility, adaptability, and opportunities for repeated practice, although some noted challenges related to audio playback speed and inconsistent internet connectivity. Overall, the findings highlight mobile-based shadowing as a promising and innovative strategy for strengthening vocabulary skills among EFL learners.

Abstract

This article maps the maternal–neonatal ethnomedicine of the Ammatoa indigenous community, detailing lexicon, semantic categories, and speech practices that scaffold mother–infant care. Based on an inventory of 26 medicinal plants and practice notes, terms are grouped into four clusters: (1) materials/remedies, (2) actions, (3) prayers, and (4) symptoms. Findings show that the local pharmacopeia is tightly coupled with ritual utterances; water ‘bound’ by prayer soothes the mother, underpins household hygiene, and frames a stepwise pathway from comfort care to referral when danger signs emerge. The coexistence of sanro pammana (traditional birth attendant) and midwife indicates a practical division of labor, sanro on ritual/comfort, midwife on clinical actions, while the family, especially the husband, supports logistics and decision-making. Linguistically, the lexicon is transmitted in Konjo interspersed with Indonesian, functioning not only as labels but as a social protocol that orchestrates recovery rhythm and referral compliance. Practical implications include a bilingual glossary and culturally attuned health communication materials for mother–infant care.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality of test items in a psycholinguistics course using the Classical Test Theory. The data used consisted of 30 students’ responses to 20 multiple-choice test items, which were analyzed using several indicators: difficulty level, discriminatory power, item-total correlation, and instrument reliability. The results showed that most items were in the moderate difficulty category (p = 0.46–0.56), with one item categorized as easy (p = 0.73) and two items as difficult (p = 0.26). The discriminatory power of the majority of items was in the very good category (87.5%–100%), while three items showed lower discriminatory power and required revision. The item-total correlation was generally very high (r = 0.88–0.99), indicating consistency among items, but several items with lower correlations (r < 0.70) suggested possible wording inaccuracies or content inconsistencies. The test’s reliability reached 0.99, indicating very high internal consistency, although this value was influenced by the quite extreme response patterns between the upper and lower groups. Overall, the test instrument was considered good, but several items needed revision, particularly in terms of distractors, difficulty level, and item functionality, to ensure more accurate and representative learning evaluations.
