Abstract

This study analyzes the advantages, challenges, and pedagogical implications of using e-books to enhance English language learning among elementary school students. As technology advances and becomes increasingly integrated into education, e-books have emerged as interactive resources that combine text, images, audio, video, and animations to support vocabulary development, reading comprehension, and student motivation. This literature review synthesizes findings from academic journal articles published between 2019 and 2024, focusing on how e-books contribute to effective English instruction in elementary contexts. The results indicate that e-books offer adaptive learning experiences tailored to diverse learning styles, significantly enhancing students’ engagement and language acquisition. Additionally, the review identifies challenges such as screen fatigue and digital inequality, which must be addressed to ensure equitable access and sustainability. Pedagogically, e-books encourage multimodal and constructivist learning, supporting individualized and collaborative classroom experiences. The findings highlight the importance of strategic implementation and teacher preparedness in maximizing the benefits of digital tools. This study aims to serve as a valuable reference for the design and development of innovative and inclusive e-book-based learning in elementary English education.

Abstract

This study explores the use of Canva-based visual media in teaching the simple past tense to sixth-grade elementary students. Grounded in Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, the research investigates how visual materials designed by the teacher using Canva can enhance student engagement, facilitate the recognition of verb forms, and support sentence construction. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study was conducted across three sessions: one conventional lesson and two sessions integrating Canva-based visuals. Data were collected through classroom observations, student work samples, and teacher reflections. The findings reveal that visual media increased students’ participation, helped them identify regular and irregular past tense forms more accurately, and encouraged them to construct more complete and grammatically correct sentences. Furthermore, the contextual and personalized nature of the visuals supported students in internalizing grammar rules that were previously difficult to grasp. These results suggest that Canva, when used as a scaffolded visual tool, can serve as an effective medium to support grammar instruction for young EFL learners.

Abstract

The study focused on the role of an e-book as an effective teaching tool for enhancing elementary-level students’ understanding and usage of the simple past tense in English. The primary objective was to examine how interactive digital resources—such as audio recordings, visual aids, animations, and embedded practice exercises—could support language acquisition by catering to diverse learning styles, including auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners. The e-book was designed to provide clear explanations, examples, and exercises on the simple past tense, allowing students to learn at their own pace in a self-directed manner. This research method involved how to applied electronic books as teaching materials in students’ especially in using the simple past tense in spoken and written English. The findings indicated that the use of the e-book as a teaching tool gave a motivation for students in learning simple past tense, while also fostering greater engagement and motivation in the learning process.

Abstract

This study explores the historical relationship between the Dayak Ngaju and Katingan languages through a comparative lexical and phonological analysis. A total of 225 word pairs were examined using lexicostatistical and historical phonology methods. Each pair was classified into one of three categories: cognates, likely cognates, and non-cognates. The findings show that 46.22% of the pairs are clear cognates, 22.22% are likely cognates, and 31.56% are non-cognates. In addition to lexical similarities, phonological processes such as apheresis, apocope, paragoge, and single phoneme differences were identified, further supporting their genealogical relationship. These patterns indicate that the two languages likely descend from a common proto-language within the Austronesian family. Core vocabulary items such as “water,” “dog,” and “bird” remain identical, reflecting lexical stability. The study not only affirms a strong linguistic connection between Ngaju and Katingan but also contributes to the preservation of regional languages by documenting their historical and structural ties.

Abstract

This paper examines Roald Dahl’s Lamb to the Slaughter using Vladimir Propp’s Morphology of the Folktale to uncover the underlying structural and character functions embedded within the narrative. Although classified as a modern domestic crime story, the tale aligns with traditional folktale structures through its sequence of narrative functions and character archetypes. By mapping Propp’s 31 functions and seven spheres of action onto the story’s events, this analysis reveals how these classical elements are preserved, inverted, or subverted to create irony and critique societal expectations, especially those surrounding gender and justice. Mary Maloney, the central character, structurally embodies the role of the “hero,” despite committing a crime, while other roles such as villain, helper, donor, and false hero are cleverly reassigned. The study also highlights how the narrative challenges the conventional notion of justice and authority, revealing the flexibility and relevance of Proppian theory when applied to modern literature. Ultimately, this research affirms the enduring utility of structuralist frameworks in revealing hidden ideological dimensions in contemporary storytelling.
