Abstract

This study investigated the difficulties encountered by both high- and low-achieving EFL students when finishing the  Duolingo English Test (DET) Free Practice Version. applying a qualitative descriptive comparative design, data information was gathered using semi structured conversations with five students. Results indicate that although the DET platform was initially perceived as accessible and supported by clear instructions, students still experienced linguistic, technical, and psychological challenges. Limited vocabulary and grammar, time pressure, spontaneous responses in speaking and writing, and unstable connections were the most frequently reported difficulties, especially among low-achievers. High-achievers appeared more confident and employed more effective strategies, enabling them to better adapt to the adaptive test format. These results suggest that achievement level influences how students cope with the demands of digital assessments. This research highlights the requirement for focused preparation and improved methods support to help EFL learners better navigate DET tasks.

Abstract

Aging is an inevitable natural process, an inseparable part of life's journey. As they age, elderly individuals are often faced with various challenges, both physically, biologically, psychologically, and socially. This research focuses on the phenomenon of declining psychological conditions of the elderly, which is often characterized by feelings of loneliness, helplessness, and loss of meaning in life. This feeling arises due to social limitations and the change in their role in the family and society. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic religious education services in improving the psychological welfare of the elderly in the Elderly Posyandu in Perigi Village, Silat Hilir District. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation on Posyandu administrators, religious advisors, and the elderly. The results of the study show that Islamic religious education services, which include activities such as routine recitation, worship guidance, joint dhikr, as well as moral and spiritual development, have a significant contribution to improving psychological well-being in the elderly. The elderly become calmer, more patient, optimistic, and have a higher sense of gratitude and meaning in life. In addition, religious activities also strengthen social relations between the residents of the orphanage and create a harmonious and affectionate environment. This study concludes that Islamic religious education plays an important role as a spiritual and social medium in building mental, emotional, and spiritual balance in the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Mass media plays a crucial role in constructing political conflict discourse through discursive strategies that can influence public perception. The tension between West Java Governor and Regional Representative Council (DPRD) reflects complex local political dynamics where media construction becomes significant in shaping public opinion. Objective: This study aims to analyze how online media constructs the conflict between West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi and West Java DPRD through Teun A. Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis approach, focusing on macro structure, superstructure, and micro structure in news texts. Method: This research employs qualitative descriptive method with critical discourse analysis. Population and Sample: The population consists of all online news texts discussing the conflict, with one representative news text selected through purposive sampling. Instrument and Data Analysis: The researcher serves as human instrument with Van Dijk analysis table covering three structural levels. Data analysis follows Van Dijk's model encompassing macro structure (topics and subtopics), superstructure (schematic), and micro structure (semantic, syntactic, stylistic, and rhetorical). Results: The analysis reveals that online media is not neutral in constructing political conflict discourse, using pro-executive framing strategies, "us versus them" dichotomization, and active-passive sentence construction to strengthen executive dominance. Conclusion: Critical awareness of media discourse construction is essential for healthy democratic processes and balanced journalism practices.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is a crucial skill in English language learning, yet many university students still face difficulties in understanding spoken texts, particularly in identifying specific information, grasping the main idea, and making inferences. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using podcasts as a learning medium on students’ listening comprehension at the English Language and Education Study Program of the University of Pahlawan Tuanku Tambusai. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The participants consisted of 23 first-semester students selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a listening comprehension test comprising 30 items measuring three indicators: specific information, gist, and inference. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test due to non-normal data distribution. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ listening comprehension, with the mean score increasing from 47.22 in the pretest to 74.72 in the posttest. The statistical analysis showed a significance value of 0.000 (p 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. These results demonstrate that podcast-based learning has a significant positive effect on improving students’ listening comprehension. Therefore, podcasts can be considered an effective supplementary medium for listening instruction in English language education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using regalia in improving tenth-grade students’ vocabulary mastery in an Indonesian EFL madrasah context and to explore students’ responses to this approach. Vocabulary mastery is essential for EFL proficiency, yet Indonesian madrasah students frequently face challenges due to reliance on rote memorization and textbook-centered instruction, resulting in limited retention and low motivation. While multisensory techniques such as realia have demonstrated success with younger learners, their implementation at the senior high school level has been limited. This classroom action research was conducted over two cycles with 29 female tenth-grade students at MA Al-Khoirot Malang. Data was gathered through tests, observations, field notes, worksheets, and interviews. Findings revealed significant improvement: mean scores increased from 49.0 (with 0% meeting the minimum criterion of ≥75) to 72.8 by Cycle 2, when nearly 80% of students achieved the criterion. Students showed active engagement, spontaneous use of new vocabulary, and high enthusiasm, attributing their positive responses to realia’s tactile, relevant, and collaborative features. The study concludes that realia is a practical, low-cost, and highly effective tool for enhancing vocabulary mastery in Indonesian EFL madrasah settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the planning of educational facilities and infrastructure needs at PKBM Al Ghoutsillah as a strategic effort to enhance the quality of education. Adequate facilities and infrastructure are essential components in creating an effective learning environment and supporting the achievement of educational objectives. This research employs a qualitative approach with data collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving administrators, tutors, and learners. The findings reveal that the planning process is carried out through identifying learner needs, mapping curriculum requirements, and evaluating the condition of existing facilities. Despite facing financial limitations and resource constraints, PKBM Al Ghoutsillah strives to meet the minimum standards of learning facilities by optimizing internal resources, prioritizing procurement based on urgency, and establishing collaborations with various partners. The study shows that structured and adaptive planning contributes to improved student engagement, increased learning effectiveness, and better overall educational service quality. Furthermore, the research provides significant implications for PKBM management development, particularly in strengthening procurement policies, facility maintenance strategies, and collaborative initiatives to support the sustainability of non-formal education services.

Abstract

Reading motivation is crucial for literacy, yet limited infrastructure in Indonesian rural schools often hinders innovation. Despite the digital learning trend, literature regarding low-cost strategies in resource-constrained settings remains scarce. This study aims to explore student and teacher perceptions of non-digital games, specifically Reading Bingo and Treasure Hunt, to enhance reading engagement at MI Ma’arif Jambu. Employing a descriptive qualitative design with 14 fourth-grade students and one teacher, data were collected via observations, questionnaires, and interviews, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. Findings revealed that students perceived the games as exciting, with physical movement identified as a key factor in boosting vocabulary comprehension. Furthermore, the teacher perceived these games as feasible ice-breakers creating a lively atmosphere without complex preparation. The study concludes that limited resources are not a barrier to active learning; simple non-digital games offer a high-impact solution for fostering reading motivation.

Abstract

This study examines how humor in TikTok comment sections can gradually transform into discriminatory and verbally aggressive discourse. While online humor is often perceived as harmless entertainment, limited research has examined how repeated joking practices on TikTok contribute to the normalization of ethnic stereotypes and subtle harassment. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) supported by microaggression theory and Goffman’s concept of face-threatening acts, this study analyzes a total of 18 comments collected from five viral TikTok videos, selected based on their high engagement, public visibility, and the presence of controversial identity-based humor. The data were documented through screenshot-based qualitative collection to preserve original linguistic features. The findings reveal recurring patterns of ethnic labeling, blame attribution, and dehumanizing humor that function as microaggressions and reinforce social hierarchies. Beyond identifying linguistic patterns, this study highlights important implications for digital literacy, ethical online participation, and the need for stronger content moderation to prevent humor from becoming a socially accepted form of harassment.

Abstract

This research investigated the role of the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) cooperative learning method in developing students’ English for business communication skills by employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach. The participants were 67 second-semester students of the Tax Accounting Study Program at Balikpapan State Polytechnic. The intervention was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Findings revealed a consistent improvement in students’ performance. The pre-test recorded an average score of 51.76, indicating initial difficulties in vocabulary use, pronunciation, grammar, and fluency. In the first cycle, students showed better engagement and confidence, with the average score rising to 62.35 in Post-test 1. By the second cycle, further progress was evident as students became more fluent and collaborative, achieving an average score of 75.02 in Post-test 2. These results confirm that the TSTS strategy effectively enhanced not only test performance but also classroom interaction, self-confidence, and willingness to communicate. The study highlights the significance of cooperative learning models in fostering both linguistic competence and active participation in English language classrooms. The findings imply that integrating cooperative learning strategies such as TSTS can provide a practical and replicable approach for educators seeking to improve communication skills and learner engagement in English language settings.

Abstract

This study explores how AI TTS relates to students’ confidence in English pronunciation among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Indonesia. Previous studies examined TTS perception and pronunciation quality, but none linked AI-TTS use with learners’ confidence, especially in Indonesia. This research used a quantitative correlational design and involved 38 students from an English language education program. Data were collected using a questionnaire measure of AI TTS use and pronunciation confidence. The results indicate that students have positive perceptions of AI TTS and its role in supporting pronunciation confidence. The two variables have a positive and statistically significant correlation, according to Pearson's Product-Moment correlation Test (r = 0.850, p 0.05). Put differently, students with increased interaction with AI TTS tend to feel greater comfortable pronouncing English words. These results also imply that AI TTS can assist the growth of self-confidence, promote autonomous learning, and lessen fear.
