Abstract

This study employed a qualitative descriptive method within the framework of a best practice implementation. Conducted as a classroom-based intervention, the research aimed to document and reflect on an innovative teaching approach using board games to enhance speaking skills. Implemented at SMP Islam Darussalam Palangka Raya with 7th-grade students, the activity addressed challenges such as low student motivation and fear of making mistakes. Inspired by the 2023 Essential Skills of English Teacher Training (ESETT) in Bali, the board games were designed to provide a low-stress, student-centered environment that encourages spontaneous speaking and collaborative learning.The activity allowed students to practice speaking in real-time with their peers, which helped reduce pressure and increase confidence. Results indicated improvements in student participation, fluency, and willingness to communicate.  Furthermore, this method is highly adaptable—not only for English but also for different subjects—making it a practical and flexible instructional tool aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. The findings suggest that board games can be a sustainable and inclusive solution to improve language learning in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

The integration of the scientific approach into English Language Teaching (ELT) has played a transformative role in Indonesian education since the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum. This systematic literature review explores how the scientific approach aligns with student-centered learning principles and its pedagogical implications in the Indonesian ELT context from 2013 to 2025. A total of 52 peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in SINTA 1 to 3 and international databases were analyzed using the PRISMA model. The review focuses on the pedagogical strategies, learning outcomes, teacher readiness, and classroom practices associated with the scientific approach. Findings indicate that the scientific approach supports learner autonomy, critical thinking, and communicative competence when implemented with contextual sensitivity and adequate teacher training. However, various challenges persist, including misalignment in assessment, limited resources, and superficial understanding of scientific stages. The paper provides implications for curriculum designers, teacher educators, and policymakers to strengthen scientific pedagogy in Indonesian ELT

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.

Abstract

This study explores the alignment of English recount text modules with the Emancipated Curriculum and investigates the instructional strategies and assistive support employed in inclusive EFL classrooms for visually impaired learners. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through document analysis and classroom observation at a special needs school. The findings indicate that the learning modules generally adhere to the principles of flexibility, inclusivity, and student-centered learning, though some elements require refinement to better promote collaboration and higher-order thinking. Instructional strategies such as Discovery Learning and multisensory input were implemented, alongside assistive technologies like screen readers and Braille resources, which supported the development of receptive skills. However, challenges were found in resource availability, teacher training, and integration of assistive tools. Student responses revealed increased engagement and progress when inclusive and adaptive strategies were applied. These findings highlight the need for continued curriculum improvement, enhanced teacher preparation, and institutional support to ensure equitable EFL learning experiences for blind students.

Abstract

Every year, Technocrat Foreign Language School (hereinafter referred to as STBA Technorat Tangerang) conducts annual community service for the surrounding communities. In 2025, STBA Technocrat conducted the training at the same venue, namely The 4th Vocational High School in Tangerang. The community service was conducted in line with Law Number 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education—the training aimed to provide students with higher-quality English instruction, thereby improving their employability skills. The training incorporated AI as one of the learning sources. The present study aimed to both report the results of the English training and to identify students’ perceptions of their English training, their preferred future employment, and the incorporation of AI into their learning materials. The study was conducted after the training was completed. Forty students from different departments attended the training. The students who joined the training were active members of the English club. The study used a mixed-methods design to capture more data on students’ perceptions of the other aforementioned important matters. The findings indicated that most students expressed positive perceptions of the training provided by the English college. They also indicated different preferences for their future jobs. Specifically, some jobs were identified as popular, such as office/factory work, hospitality, banking, and retail. Regarding incorporating AI, they perceived that it helped them improve their speaking skills. They also thought that, despite being a necessity, AI could not create a natural atmosphere for communication. In fact, both teachers and students are responsible for fostering such an occasion in which the students can speak more naturally and enjoyably.

Abstract

The philosophy of science plays an important role in providing a conceptual foundation for the development of various scientific disciplines, including educational management. The philosophy of science does not merely address technical and methodological aspects, but also examines the nature, sources, and values of knowledge itself. This study aims to explore the role of ontology, epistemology, and axiology within the philosophy of science and their relevance to educational management practices. The research employs a literature review method by analyzing academic sources such as journal articles, books, and scholarly references related to the philosophy of science and educational management. Data analysis is conducted qualitatively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that ontology provides an understanding of the essence of educational management as a system oriented toward holistic learner development. Epistemology explains the processes of acquiring, developing, and validating managerial knowledge through scientific approaches and practical experience. Meanwhile, axiology emphasizes the values, objectives, and ethical orientation that should be realized in educational management practices. The integration of these three philosophical aspects serves as an essential foundation for developing educational management practices that are not only technically effective and efficient, but also meaningful, ethical, and socially oriented.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to understand and illustrate the phonological changes and their implications in the Dayak Bakumpai Buntok language. Using a qualitative approach, examples were precisely analyzed leading to explanations encompassing Diphthongization, Monophthongisation, Prothesis, Epenthesis, Apheresis, Apocope, Metathesis, and Phonotactics. The study illuminated the unique features of the language through various examples. For instance, the transformation from “Pahit,” meaning bitter in English, to “Bapait” underwent systematic linguistic modifications including the addition of a diphthong and removal of a consonant indicating a departure from convention in Bahasa Indonesia. In understanding these phonological changes, the study further underscores the intricate and multifaceted dimensions of the Dayak Bakumpai Buntok language and provides significant insights into the understanding of broader linguistic trends in the region. The research reveals how a deeper understanding of these processes could offer a more profound appreciation for linguistic diversity and richness in the context of Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This study examines the role of American films as instruments of propaganda, focusing on three main aspects: narratives of heroism, enemy representation, and the promotion of liberal values in Hollywood productions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research analyzes selected films such as Captain America: The First Avenger, Argo, and Zero Dark Thirty through content analysis and literature review. The findings reveal that American films consistently construct the United States as a global hero while portraying opposing groups as threats, thereby reinforcing ideological perspectives aligned with U.S. political and cultural interests. In addition, these films promote liberal values such as individual freedom, democracy, and human rights, which are often presented as universal ideals. However, the study also finds that international audiences respond differently to these narratives, with some perceiving them as inspirational, while others criticize them as forms of cultural imperialism and political bias. Overall, this research highlights that Hollywood films function not only as entertainment but also as powerful media tools that shape global perceptions, influence cultural discourse, and reinforce soft power in international contexts.
