Abstract

Vocabulary plays a pivotal role in English learning as it forms the foundation for developing core language skills. However, many elementary students struggle with vocabulary acquisition due to limited exposure and the use of less effective instructional methods. This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of picture media as an interactive learning tool in enhancing the vocabulary mastery of fifth-grade students at Kofalagadi Elementary School, Menui District. A pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design was applied, involving 12 students as participants. The instrument used was a vocabulary test consisting of 20 items in the form of matching, multiple-choice, and jumbled-word questions. The findings showed that the students’ mean score improved from 65.83 in the pre-test to 95.00 in the post-test, with a mean difference of 29.17 points. The paired samples t-test indicated a significance value of 0.000 (p 0.05), confirming that there was a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery after the intervention. These results suggest that picture media, when applied interactively, can serve as an effective instructional strategy to support vocabulary learning, particularly at the elementary school level. Furthermore, this study provides practical insights for teachers in selecting engaging media and demonstrates that picture-based strategies can be effectively integrated into classroom practice to foster student motivation and vocabulary development.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to examine the implementation of employment rights for persons with disabilities, particularly among graduates of private Special Schools (SLB) in Ciamis Regency, Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that although national regulations provide a strong legal basis, the practical implementation of employment rights remains limited owing to low societal perceptions, lack of multi-stakeholder synergy, and limited access to job information. Only approximately 18% of private SLB graduates managed to secure permanent jobs within one year of graduation. Therefore, more intensive collaboration between special schools, local governments, and business partners is needed to improve the economic participation of persons with disabilities.

Abstract

Early childhood is a golden period of child development, including cognitive aspects such as the ability to recognize the concept of numbers. This study aims to determine the influence of the Gema Numbers application on the ability to recognize numbers of children aged 5-6 years in Kindergarten Negeri Pembina 1 Pekanbaru City. The method used was an experiment with the One Group Pre-test Post-test design. A total of 20 children participated in learning using the application for four meetings. The pretest results showed that the child's ability was still low (40.5%), while the posttest results increased significantly to 83.5%. All indicators of number ability have increased, from recognizing symbols to comparing numbers. The results of the t-test showed a significant influence of the use of the app on improving children's abilities. Thus, the Gema Numbers application is effectively used as a fun interactive learning medium in introducing the concept of numbers to early childhood.

Abstract

The growing integration of AI writing tools in education raises concerns about their influence on EFL students’ writing development. Empirical evidence is scarce, despite the assumptions regarding their advantages. This study investigated the correlation between the utilization of AI tools and essay scores among 23 fourth-semester students enrolled in the English Language Education Study Program at FKIP UNTAN (A1 class, 2024/2025). The data was obtained by distributing a questionnaire regarding the frequency of AI usage and scoring essays using a validated rubric. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a non-significant, weak correlation (r = -0.078, p = 0.723). Grammarly and QuillBot were frequently employed to enhance grammar, clarity, and coherence, as evidenced by qualitative data. The findings challenge the assumption that the direct improvement of essay quality is an outcome of frequent use of AI tools, suggesting that other factors have a more significant impact on writing outcomes.

Abstract

In bilingual societies, code-switching is a common linguistic practice that reflects both social identity and communicative style. Although numerous studies have examined code-switching in Indonesian podcasts, most have centered on domestic contexts, leaving limited attention to speakers living abroad. This study investigates code-switching in Beropini, a podcast by Gita Savitri Devi, to identify the dominant type of code-switching based on Poplack’s (2004) classification and to analyze its causal factors using Hoffmann’s (1991) framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative method through transcription, categorization, and researcher triangulation, the study identified 167 instances of code-switching: 163 intra-sentential, 3 tag-switching, and 1 inter-sentential. The main factors included expressing group identity (71 instances), talking about a particular topic (61), and repetition is used for emphasis (54), while other factors appeared less frequently. These findings demonstrate that code-switching in Beropini serves not only as a communicative strategy but also as a deliberate means of constructing bilingual identity within transnational digital discourse.

Abstract

This study focuses on adaptive physical education for children with mild intellectual disabilities, particularly through futsal, at SLB C Sumbersari, Bandung. Physical education is often challenging for children with mild intellectual disabilities due to their cognitive and physical limitations. Adaptive physical education is designed to meet their needs, allowing optimal participation in physical activities and sports. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The subjects were physical education teachers and children aged 11 to 17 years with mild intellectual disabilities. Findings suggest that futsal can be effectively played by these children with adjustments to the game’s rules, duration, number of players, and the use of visual and verbal aids. Challenges include limited facilities, varying individual abilities, and the need for teacher training. Solutions include renting futsal fields and providing training for teachers to better teach the sport. In conclusion, adaptive physical education through futsal positively impacts the physical and social development of children with mild intellectual disabilities, leading to success in regional and national events such as O2SN-PDBK and the Special Olympics.
