Abstract

This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of the Among leadership model of school principals in improving teacher discipline in Seruyan Regency, Central Kalimantan. The Among leadership, based on Ki Hajar Dewantara's trilogy (Ing Ngarso Sung Tuladna, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, Tut Wuri Handayani), was translated into five operational stages: role modeling, motivation, mentoring, evaluation, and follow-up. This study employed a research and development (RD) method with a product development model. The research subjects consisted of 168 participants, including 10 school principals and 158 teachers from 10 elementary and secondary schools spread across three representative sub-districts in Seruyan Regency, namely Seruyan Hilir Sub-district (urban), Seruyan Tengah Sub-district (peri-urban), and Seruyan Raya Sub-district (remote area). Subjects were selected using purposive sampling technique based on criteria of principals who had served for at least 2 years, schools with minimum B accreditation, and willingness to participate in the research. The data analysis techniques employed included both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Qualitative data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model consisting of three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification, complemented by source and method triangulation to ensure data credibility. Quantitative data analysis used descriptive statistics to calculate percentages and mean scores of teacher discipline indicators, as well as paired sample t-test to examine the significance of differences between pre- and post-implementation conditions of the Among leadership model. The results showed that the application of Among leadership significantly improved teacher discipline. The Teacher Discipline Index (TDI) increased from 76.58 before implementation to 87.15 after implementation, representing an increase of 13.80%. Based on indicators, the highest improvements occurred in punctuality entering class (19.85%) and learning administration (19.66%), followed by punctuality of attendance (13.74%), effective teaching hours (13.31%), and teacher attendance (4.82%). The paired sample t-test result showed t = 9.87 with a significance level of p 0.001, indicating a very significant difference between pre- and post-implementation conditions. Therefore, the Among leadership model is proven effective and recommended to be implemented as a guideline for fostering teacher discipline, particularly in areas with geographical and sociocultural characteristics similar to Seruyan Regency.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the most essential yet challenging skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly in contexts where opportunities to use English outside the classroom are limited. Many junior high school students experience low confidence in speaking due to fear of making mistakes, peer evaluation, and limited speaking practice. Although previous studies have examined speaking anxiety, fewer have explored students’ perceptions of the factors influencing their speaking confidence at the lower secondary level. Therefore, this study aims to explore Grade 9 students’ perceptions of their confidence in speaking English and identify the factors shaping their self-assurance. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving five Grade 9 students from a junior high school in Karawang, Indonesia, who were selected purposively during the researcher’s teaching practicum. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students’ speaking confidence was influenced by fear of making mistakes, peer judgment, teacher support, and self-practice. Positive teacher feedback and successful speaking experiences enhanced students’ motivation and confidence. These findings highlight that speaking confidence is shaped by linguistic, emotional, and social factors within the EFL classroom.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low intensive reading ability of fourth-grade elementary school students and the limited use of technology-based learning media in Indonesian language learning. The purpose of this study was to develop an interactive learning media assisted by a website to improve students' intensive reading skills. This research used a Research and Development method with the ADDIE development model consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The subjects of this study were fourth-grade students in several elementary schools in Payakumbuh City. The product developed was an interactive website-based learning media containing learning materials, instructional videos, quizzes, and evaluation activities. The validation results from material, language, and media experts showed an average validity score of 90%, which indicated that the product was very valid. The practicality test showed that the teacher response reached 86% and the student response reached 82.53%, both categorized as very practical. The effectiveness test also indicated an improvement in students' learning outcomes after using the developed media. Therefore, the website-assisted interactive learning media was considered valid, practical, and effective for use in intensive reading learning for fourth-grade elementary school students.

Abstract

Speaking is a fundamental component of English language learning as it enables learners to communicate effectively in both academic and real-life contexts. Nevertheless, many EFL students continue to experience difficulties in developing speaking proficiency due to limited vocabulary, lack of self-confidence, grammatical inaccuracies, and speaking anxiety. Although role-play has been widely acknowledged as an effective instructional technique for improving speaking skills, research examining its integration with narrative texts remains relatively limited. Therefore, this study aims to describe the implementation of role-play through narrative texts in teaching speaking skills and to explore students’ perceptions of its use in the classroom. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews involving eleventh-grade Hospitality students at SMKN 8 Surabaya. The findings indicate that narrative text-based role-play promoted students’ confidence, active participation, speaking fluency, and comprehension of narrative texts. Although students encountered challenges related to vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and speaking anxiety, continuous teacher guidance and feedback helped them address these difficulties. These findings suggest that integrating role-play with narrative texts is an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing EFL students’ speaking skills while fostering greater engagement and confidence in classroom communication.

Abstract

Effective email communication is essential in a hospitality business as it exhibits service professionalism and influences guest satisfaction. However, research into hospitality students' pragmatic competency in producing guest service emails remains limited, especially in the context of EFL vocational education in Indonesia. By comparing two groups in terms of formality, politeness, mitigation techniques, message effectiveness, grammatical accuracy, and the use of native-like polite language, this study seeks to assess the pragmatic quality of guest service emails written by hospitality management students. This study used a quantitative descriptive-comparative design enhanced with qualitative content analysis. It comprised 43 hospitality management students from an Indonesian vocational higher education institution. Data were collected using a guest service email writing assignment and analyzed using pragmatic and linguistic assessment criteria. The study found that Class A exhibited significantly higher levels of formality and politeness by frequently employing professional registers, mitigating devices, and service-oriented language. Instead, both groups revealed almost identical patterns of grammatical errors, most of which were non-fatal and had no substantial impact on communication. The study further discovered that polite emails were not always more effective if they lacked a straightforward response or sufficient follow-up information. These findings underline the significance of pragmatic competence in hospitality communication and recommend that English for Hospitality teaching should emphasize a professional register, politeness strategies, and authentic service-oriented email practices.

Abstract

This study explored English Education students’ experiences of learning difficulties caused by limited vocabulary mastery at Tadulako University. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study involved students who experienced vocabulary-related challenges in learning English. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that inadequate vocabulary knowledge created difficulties in understanding unfamiliar words, retaining vocabulary, pronouncing English words accurately, and selecting appropriate words in speaking and writing activities. These challenges negatively affected students’ performance across the four language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—and reduced their participation in classroom interactions. Limited vocabulary also generated emotional barriers, including anxiety, embarrassment, and low self-confidence when using English. To overcome these difficulties, students employed various independent learning strategies, such as watching movies and YouTube videos, listening to music, playing games, and using digital learning applications. Students also expressed the need for more structured vocabulary instruction and supportive learning environments. Overall, the study highlights that vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component of successful language learning, influencing students’ academic achievement, communication ability, and confidence in using English.

Abstract

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) has provided university students with flexible opportunities to improve vocabulary mastery through English learning applications. This study investigated English Education students’ perceptions of using such applications for vocabulary learning at Tadulako University. A qualitative descriptive design was employed involving 69 students who completed a Likert-scale questionnaire and five participants who took part in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students generally perceived English learning applications positively because they helped them learn new words, improve pronunciation, increase confidence, and support autonomous learning. Features such as gamification, repetition, quizzes, and audio pronunciation enhanced motivation and engagement. However, students also reported several limitations, including insufficient contextual explanations, repetitive activities, unstable internet connections, and premium-feature restrictions. Overall, English learning applications were perceived as effective supplementary tools for vocabulary development rather than complete replacements for classroom instruction and authentic communication practice. The study highlights the potential of MALL applications to support independent vocabulary learning while emphasizing the continued importance of teacher guidance and interactive language use.

Abstract

Translation plays an important role in bridging linguistic and cultural differences, especially in literary texts where meanings are closely connected to cultural symbols and values. However, previous studies have mainly focused on non-literary translation or the classification of translation strategies, leaving the preservation of deeper symbolic and cultural meanings in literary works underexplored. This study aims to analyze the translation strategies used in preserving culture-specific items (CSIs) in Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant and its Indonesian translation Raksasa Egois translated by Clara Ng and published by Fiksi Lotus in 2013. A qualitative comparative text analysis was employed by comparing the source text and target text to identify CSIs and examine the translation strategies applied. The findings reveal that literal translation, cultural equivalence, and adaptation were the main strategies used, with literal translation being the most dominant, particularly in ecological elements such as seasons and natural phenomena. While literal translation effectively preserves lexical meaning, it is less successful in maintaining deeper symbolic and cultural meanings embedded in the literary text. In contrast, cultural equivalence proves to be more effective in preserving religious meanings, while adaptation improves readability but reduces cultural specificity. In conclusion, the effectiveness of translation strategies depends on the type and cultural embeddedness of CSIs.

Abstract

The rapid development of globalization and digital technology has significantly altered the way traditional cultural values are transmitted and understood, creating challenges for the sustainability of oral traditions among younger generations. Therefore, research on the transformation of traditional values in folklore is essential to understand how local wisdom can remain relevant in contemporary society. This study aims to analyze the transformation of traditional values contained in the folklore Laowomaru within the oral tradition of the Nias ethnic community in the modern era, identify the factors influencing these transformations, and examine their implications for cultural literacy and value transmission. The research employed a qualitative approach using a literature study method. Data were collected from books, scientific journals, theses, dissertations, and digital documents related to folklore, oral traditions, cultural values, and cultural transformation. The findings reveal that Laowomaru embodies traditional values such as family harmony, simplicity, obedience to rules, moral causality, trust, loyalty, and the consequences of betrayal. In the modern era, these values have undergone transformations in their forms, functions, and modes of application due to globalization, technological advancement, and changing social perspectives. Nevertheless, the core values remain preserved and continue to be adapted to contemporary contexts. This study contributes to cultural studies and literacy research by demonstrating that folklore serves not only as a cultural heritage but also as an educational medium for strengthening cultural literacy, character formation, and the preservation of local wisdom in the digital age.
