Abstract

This study analyzes the expressive speech acts used by the emotion characters in Inside Out 2. The objectives are to identify their types and to explain their functions in expressing emotions. Using a descriptive qualitative method and Searle’s speech act theory (1979), the data were taken from the characters’ dialogues. The results show twelve types of expressive speech acts: thanking, apologizing, congratulating, complaining, condoling, lamenting, protesting, deploring, praising, boasting, complimenting, and greeting. The most frequent is Praising (23 dialogues; 21.10%), followed by Complimenting (14 dialogues; 12.84%) and Boasting (11 dialogues; 10.9%). The least frequent is Deploring ( 3 dialogues; 2.75%). In conclusion, expressive speech acts in Inside Out 2 serve not only to express emotions but also to shape character development and storyline dynamics.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out the types of questions employed by the EFL students during teaching and learning process in the classroom; to find out the teacher’s purposes of applying those types of questions by using Telegram and Whatts Up application as the framework. This research is conducted among the EFL students at FKIP Universitas HKBP Nommensen Pematangsiantar. The necessary data was collected through direct and indirect observation between an EFL students. Based on the analysis, it appeared that the online EFL classroom interaction was dominated by the teacher. One of the causes was the passiveness of the students due to the technological glitches. The pattern and characteristics of the interaction also changed. One of the most notable changes was the difficulty to observe and manage the interaction between students. These observed features of the EFL online classroom portrayed how the class is conducted as well as ideas for other EFL teachers and practitioners to prepare and organize it. The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the form of interaction in the EFL classroom in Indonesia. Consequently, it is vital for Indonesian EFL teachers to analyse the current form of interaction in online settings to ensure quality teaching and learning.

Abstract

Writing is one of the most challenging skills for EFL students due to difficulties in generating ideas, organizing texts, and revising written work effectively. This study aimed at examiningg the development of students’ English writing skills through the integration of Local Wisdom-Integrated Suggestopedia and Digital Portfolio Assessment. A quantitative approach with a One-Group Repeated Measures Design was employed involving 14 undergraduate students of an English Education Study Program. Writing performance was measured at four points: before the intervention (T1), during the intervention (T2), one month after the intervention (T3), and two months after the intervention (T4). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Repeated Measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni pairwise comparisons. The results revealed a consistent improvement in writing performance, with mean scores increasing from 65.57 (T1) to 75.43 (T2), peaking at 83.57 (T3), and remaining high at 79.36 (T4). Repeated Measures ANOVA indicated a significant difference across the four measurements, F(1.098, 14.279) = 28.827, p < .001. The findings demonstrate that the intervention effectively improved and sustained students’ writing development. Pedagogically, integrating local wisdom, Suggestopedia, and digital portfolio assessment provides a culturally relevant, low-anxiety, and process-oriented approach to enhancing EFL writing instruction

Abstract

This study developed and evaluated a low-tech digital authentic writing assessment for English for Nursing students in resource-constrained learning environments. Grounded in English for Specific Purposes theory, authentic assessment, and language assessment usefulness principles, the product emphasized validity, reliability, authenticity, practicality, and educational impact. An Educational Research and Development design was employed using a modified ADDIE model covering analysis, design, development, expert validation, limited implementation, and evaluation. The pilot involved 37 English for Nursing students and three validators, consisting of one English language expert and two nursing education experts. Data were collected through document analysis, needs analysis, validation sheets, writing tests, practicality questionnaires, and user feedback. Quantitative data were analyzed using Aiken’s V, Cronbach’s alpha, intraclass correlation coefficients, practicality percentages, normalized gain, paired-samples t-test, and Cohen’s d. The needs analysis showed very high demand, with an overall mean of 4.43. The assessment achieved an average Aiken’s V of 0.90, Cronbach’s alpha of 0.891, ICC single measure of 0.82, and ICC average measure of 0.93. Student practicality reached 88.2%, while expert-user practicality reached 91.2%. Writing scores improved from 68.84 to 79.27, indicating promising preliminary effectiveness despite the absence of a control group and its single-institution pilot scope within this initial study

Abstract

Swimming is a competitive sport that relies heavily on an athlete’s ability to maintain speed throughout a race. In addition to the final time, split time analysis serves as a key indicator for evaluating speed distribution, the effectiveness of pacing strategies, and the ability to sustain performance during a race. This study aims to analyze the split-time characteristics of Indonesian aquatic athletes in the 100-meter swim event, identify speed trends in each race segment, and evaluate the athletes’ speed consistency. The study employs a quantitative approach using descriptive methods. Data were collected via an electronic timing system (Omega Timing System) during several 100-meter race sessions. The variables analyzed included the time for the first 50 meters, the time for the second 50 meters, the total time, and the time difference between the two segments. Descriptive analysis was conducted to illustrate the distribution patterns of the athletes’ speeds. The results showed that all athletes exhibited a “positive split” pattern, meaning they completed the first 50 meters faster than the second 50 meters. The athlete in Lane 6 recorded the best time of 54.95 seconds, while Lane 4 demonstrated the greatest consistency with a time difference of only 0.31 seconds. Conversely, some athletes experienced a significant drop in performance, with a gap of more than six seconds in the second half of the race. These findings indicate that the ability to maintain speed is a more decisive factor in performance than initial speed alone. Therefore, training programs should be directed more toward improving speed endurance, lactate tolerance, and pacing strategies so that athletes can maintain their performance until the finish line.

Abstract

Eleventh-grade students at MA NWDI Ketangga struggle with reading comprehension due to limited vocabulary, difficulty identifying the main idea, and low motivation when encountering unfamiliar texts. This two-cycle Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis & McTaggart model tested the effectiveness of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) using the local folktale “The Legend of Putri Mandalika” on the reading comprehension of 16 students, using pre-tests, post-tests, and observation checklists as instruments. The results showed a significant improvement: the average score rose from 53.06 to 80.31 (an increase of 27.25 points), while the percentage of students who met the minimum passing score (≥75) increased from 25% to 81.25%. A paired-sample t-test confirmed the significance of this increase (p = 0.000). The implementation of CTL increased from 66.67% in Cycle 1 to 100% in Cycle 3, accompanied by an increase in student participation from a score of 10 to 17. An N-Gain score of 0.58 indicates moderate effectiveness. These findings demonstrate that CTL, implemented through action research with consistent reflection and integration of local culture, is effective in improving students’ reading comprehension in the context of an EFL madrasah, particularly for beginner-level students.

Abstract

This research investigates the phenomenon of language absorption and word formation among Generation Z, focusing on their language use across social media platforms. The study aims to analyze the processes of language absorption and identify the types of word formation that emerge in digital communication among Generation Z users. Using a descriptive qualitative research design combined with content analysis and a digital ethnography approach, the data were collected through online observation and digital documentation from Instagram, TikTok, Twitter (X), and WhatsApp. The findings indicate that Generation Z frequently adopts English lexical items through language absorption and creatively forms new words using processes such as borrowing, derivation, compounding, blending, clipping, acronyms, and neologisms. The data also demonstrate that borrowed words are commonly adapted into Indonesian linguistic structures, producing hybrid expressions that reflect linguistic creativity and the influence of digital communication. Furthermore, the widespread use of code-mixing and code-switching illustrates the dynamic interaction between English and Indonesian in online discourse, contributing to efficient, expressive, and identity-oriented communication. The study concludes that language absorption and word formation have become essential features of Generation Z’s communication on social media, illustrating the continuous evolution of language in response to technological advancement and digital culture.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of social interaction skills among children residing in the Rusunawa Dormitory of Widya Mandira Catholic University, Kupang, as indicated by tendencies to withdraw from others, limited participation in group activities, difficulties in communication and cooperation, and a lack of self-confidence. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the role-playing technique through group counseling in improving the social interaction skills of children at the Rusunawa Dormitory of Widya Mandira Catholic University, Kupang, in 2026. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental method with a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The population consisted of 108 dormitory residents, while the sample comprised eight children selected based on their pretest results and identified as having low levels of social interaction. Data were collected using a social interaction questionnaire. The intervention, consisting of the role-playing technique implemented through group counseling, was conducted in four sessions, with each session lasting 2 × 45 minutes. The results showed that the total pretest score of the eight respondents was 695 points, which increased to 1,133 points in the posttest, representing an improvement of 438 points. All respondents experienced a change in their social interaction category from low to high. Hypothesis testing using a paired-samples t-test yielded a significance value (two-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, with a calculated t-value of −28.040 and df = 7. Therefore, H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the role-playing technique implemented through group counseling is effective in improving the social interaction skills of children at the Rusunawa Dormitory of Widya Mandira Catholic University, Kupang, in 2026.

Abstract

Brain fog resulting from subclinical malnutrition and the absence of a daily breakfast constitutes a major biological barrier that undermines students’ concentration and academic performance at school. This study aims to evaluate the strategic role and clinical mechanisms of the Free Nutritious Meals (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) Program in addressing brain fog and improving students’ cognitive function through a systematic literature review. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA protocol to synthesize relevant and reputable scientific articles retrieved from Scopus, ScienceDirect, and PubMed and published over the past ten years. The literature analysis consistently indicates that adequate intake of essential macronutrients and micronutrients, including iron, B-complex vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, through school-based food intervention programs can help stabilize blood glucose homeostasis, support synaptic membrane regeneration, and optimize the synthesis of key neurotransmitters in the brain. The synthesis of the reviewed literature also demonstrates a reduction in symptoms of daily mental fatigue, accompanied by improvements in working memory capacity, attention span, and logical reasoning abilities among students in classroom settings. This study concludes that the MBG Program serves not merely as a social and public health safety net but also as a critical macro-level cognitive investment for strengthening the intellectual capacity of the younger generation. The findings highlight the importance of standardizing evidence-based menus grounded in neuro-nutrition (brain food) principles to maximize academic achievement in the implementation of national nutrition policies.
