Abstract

This study looks into how students in the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Tanjungpura perceive QuillBot as a paraphrasing tool when composing paragraphs. The goals were to investigate how students’ rate QuillBot in terms of utility, ease of use, supportive conditions, and social influence, as well as to find the most important aspect influencing their acceptance of the technology. The study took a descriptive quantitative method and was guided by Venkatesh's Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). A trustworthy and validated online survey was used to gather data. The findings demonstrate that students' opinions of all UTAUT constructs were largely favourable. Students’ perceived QuillBot was simple to use, good at enhancing sentence structure and vocabulary, and useful for creating well-organized paragraphs. These findings imply that using AI-assisted writing tools such as QuillBot can aid academic writing development in English language instruction. Future research should compare QuillBot to other paraphrase platforms to determine its impact on long-term writing competency.

Abstract

This article focuses on analyzing the suitability between the English textbooks for eighth grade published by Intan Pariwara and students' learning styles. Using descriptive quantitative methods through data collection techniques such as VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) learning style questionnaires and content analysis of the books. This study took 31 participants from grade VIII at an Islamic-based school in Surabaya. The findings show that there is an imbalance between students' learning styles and the proportion of learning styles in textbooks, because students predominantly have an Auditory learning style, while textbooks mostly facilitate Visual. However, the auditory learning style is still facilitated quite well, while Kinesthetic is the least facilitated which has the potential to widen the learning gap for students who require hands-on practice-based learning. This research highlights the balance of learning style facilitation in textbooks to better suit students' needs and emphasize the role of teachers in selecting and sorting appropriate textbooks to achieve inclusive and balanced learning.

Abstract

SNBP is one of the entry points in state university entrance selection system which is very popular with students because selection for university entrance is carried out only based on based on the results of academic achievement tracking through report cards and students' academic and non-academic portfolios. MAN 1 Siak is one of the madrasas that registers its students through the SNBP entry. When SNBP registration opens, the role of guidance and counseling teachers is really needed to help students in choosing the right major. The aim of this research is to make it easier for guidance and counseling teachers to create a decision support system that can provide recommendations for major selection to students effectively and efficiently. The method used is the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. AHP is a decision making method with a systems approach, where decision makers try to understand a system condition and help make predictions in making decisions. Using the AHP method, the priorities for selecting majors in higher education via the SNBP route are education(0.2912), economics(0.2447), computers(0.2168), law(0.2007), and medicine(0.0466).

Abstract

This study aims to develop a contextual early reading assessment instrument tailored for eighth-grade students with moderate intellectual disabilities at SLB ABC Miiroojuttaqwaa in Sumedang Regency. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive methods, the research involved non-participatory observations, interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), documentation studies, and validation by expert teachers. The results reveal that students demonstrate varying levels of competence in phonemic recognition, syllable decoding, and vocabulary comprehension but face difficulties with sentence construction and reading fluency. The assessment instrument was refined collaboratively through FGDs, covering core reading domains, and validated by external experts for operational clarity and usability. Key improvements include more concrete indicators, enhanced visual media, and implementation guidelines to standardise administration. The findings highlight the importance of authentic, adaptive assessments that align with cognitive and developmental characteristics of students with intellectual disabilities. This tool not only supports the development of Individualised Education Plans (IEPs) but also provides a model for inclusive assessment practices. The study recommends broader institutional adoption, including integration into policy frameworks, professional development for teachers, and cross-school moderation, to enhance reliability and equity. The validated instrument holds promise for advancing literacy interventions and promoting meaningful participation in education for students with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract

This study investigated the speaking skills of senior high school students in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia, through a picture description task. Speaking is a crucial skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning because it enables effective communication in both academic and social contexts. However, despite its significance, limited research has examined Indonesian students’ speaking performance through picture description tasks, particularly in relation to pronunciation and fluency. To address this gap, the present study assessed 46 students using a standardized rubric covering comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. Their performances were evaluated by three independent raters to ensure reliability and objectivity. The findings showed an overall mean score of 3.7, categorized as very good. Vocabulary obtained the highest average (4.2), followed by comprehension (3.8), grammar (3.6), and fluency (3.5). Pronunciation recorded the lowest mean (3.3). These results highlight the need for targeted pedagogical strategies to improve pronunciation and fluency while consolidating vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Abstract

Language and knowledge are fundamentally intertwined, shaping how individuals perceive, interpret, and express reality. This study investigates epistemic verbs as linguistic indicators of knowledge and belief within two distinct epistemological and cultural frameworks: English and Mandarin Chinese. By adopting a qualitative descriptive–comparative approach, grounded in functional linguistics and epistemic discourse analysis, this research explores how epistemic verbs reflect the ways speakers conceptualize truth, certainty, and cognition. The data were collected from authentic corpora—including dialogues, news articles, academic essays, and conversational transcripts—and analyzed through semantic, pragmatic, and cultural dimensions using triangulated methods. Findings reveal that English epistemic verbs (e.g., know, believe, think, guess) form a hierarchical and explicit epistemic system, emphasizing rational certainty, empirical evidence, and individual cognition, consistent with Western philosophical traditions. In contrast, Mandarin epistemic verbs (e.g., 知道 zhīdào, 认为 rènwéi, 觉得 juéde, 相信 xiāngxìn) display contextual, relational, and affective orientations, integrating emotion and social harmony in the expression of knowledge, reflecting an Eastern holistic worldview. Comparative analysis demonstrates that English expresses epistemic stance vertically, based on degrees of certainty, while Mandarin expresses it horizontally, emphasizing social context and relational appropriateness. These contrasts highlight deeper philosophical divides between Western rationalism and Eastern relational holism, suggesting that linguistic forms mirror epistemological ideologies. The study concludes that epistemic verbs are not mere grammatical categories but cognitive-cultural constructs that embody each society’s way of “knowing” and “believing.” Understanding these differences is vital for intercultural communication, as epistemic misalignment often leads to pragmatic misunderstanding between English and Mandarin speakers. This research contributes to the emerging field of cross-cultural epistemic linguistics, offering insights into how language, cognition, and culture collectively shape the human expression of knowledge.

Abstract

The background of this research departs from the problem of limited number of practical equipment, suboptimal maintenance, and budget limitations that have an impact on the smooth running of learning activities. This study aims to analyze the management and availability of practical equipment in the machining workshop of SMK Negeri 2 Palembang. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the management of practical equipment in the machining workshop has implemented a clear task sharing system between toolman and maintenance repair (MR) officers, so that the equipment can be used optimally. However, the amount of equipment available is not yet proportional to the number of students, so practice must be done alternately through scheduling. The conclusion of this study is that budget constraints, length of procurement process, and limited number of equipment are the main obstacles, but can be minimized through more effective usage and maintenance management strategies. This research is expected to be an input for schools in improving the effectiveness of workshop management and the provision of practical equipment to support the achievement of curriculum goals.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the role-playing learning model in improving descriptive writing skills in mildly mentally disabled students in grade XII at SLB Negeri Cilacap. The background of this study stems from the challenges faced by children in gathering ideas and expressing them in writing due to cognitive and adaptive limitations. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of implementing a role-playing learning model on improving descriptive essay writing skills among Grade XII students with mild intellectual disabilities at Cilacap State Special School. The method used was a quantitative approach with a Single Subject Research (SSR) design using an A-B-A design. Data collection techniques were conducted through direct observation and performance tests in three stages, namely baseline 1 (A1), intervention (B), and baseline 2 (A2). The results showed that during the intervention phase, there was an improvement in the children's ability to gather ideas, use appropriate vocabulary, and describe objects clearly. Data analysis revealed significant differences between the pre- and post-intervention phases. In conclusion, the role-playing learning model is effective in improving descriptive writing skills among children with mild intellectual disabilities, as well as enhancing their motivation and active participation in the learning process.

Abstract

This study explores the redefinition of heroism and queer identity in Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles, highlighting its importance in contemporary literature. While previous research focuses on romantic and queer elements, it often overlooks how the novel systematically challenges traditional views of heroism, especially through emotional vulnerability and mentorship. Few analyses examine how Miller critiques conventional ideas of heroism by emphasizing compassion and self-acceptance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and close reading, this study examines key themes such as love and emotional connections. The findings reveal that true heroism is rooted in these connections rather than physical strength, showing how the bond between Achilles and Patroclus reflects empathy and community. Ultimately, Miller's work encourages a broader understanding of heroism, suggesting it includes the courage to embrace one's identity, enriching discussions in literary studies and beyond.
