Abstract

This article delves into the role of YouTube in education, with a particular focus on its potential to enrich self-directed learning, especially in the realm of listening skills. A thorough examination of 30 scholarly journals was carried out to evaluate the endorsement of YouTube as a tool for enhancing self-directed learning. Data analysis encompassed the creation of a matrix to discern the impact, types, and purposes of YouTube in educational settings. The findings underscore YouTube as a highly valuable resource for fostering self-directed learning, owing to its adaptability and ease of access. Trends were identified across publication years, research methodologies, participant demographics, study objectives, and YouTube's role in promoting self-regulated learning. Nevertheless, this study also sheds light on the limitations in the application of YouTube in specific educational contexts, influenced by subject matter and varying educational levels. In summary, YouTube exhibits substantial promise in education, but its effectiveness hinges on thoughtful implementation strategies tailored to address the unique needs of both students and teachers.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of clustering and mind mapping techniques in enhancing the writing abilities of 10th-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Dharma Caraka, Gunungsitoli Selatan, specifically in Recount text learning. The quasi-experimental study involved 231 students across seven classes, with a sample of 93 students divided into three groups: 31 students using the mind mapping technique, 31 using the clustering technique, and 31 using conventional methods. Data were analyzed using SPSS 29.00. The findings revealed significant improvements in the students' writing abilities with both techniques. The mind mapping group's post-test mean score was 84.51, up from a pre-test mean of 51.451. The clustering group's post-test mean was 89.482, compared to a pre-test mean of 54.838. An ANOVA analysis showed average scores of 84.51 for the mind mapping technique, 89.48 for the clustering technique, and 78.09 for the conventional technique. Overall, the clustering technique proved to be more effective than the mind mapping technique in improving the students' writing skills in Recount text learning. Thus, clustering is recommended for enhancing writing abilities in this context.

Abstract

The purpose of this study aims to explore (1) the implementation of HOTS strategies in teaching reading comprehension on Kurikulum Merdeka and (2) to know the students’ responses towards the implementation of HOTS in the eleventh grade of SMA Swasta Pembda 1 Gunungsitoli. This research is a descriptive qualitative with 76 eleventh-grade students and two EFL teachers as subjects of the research. Data was collected from observation, interviews, and questionnaires Two teachers were interviewed and students in two classes each received a questionnaire. The collected data was processed and analysed to provide answers to the research questions. Following that, a descriptive data interpretation is given. Despite the improvements needed, both fostered positive learning environments. Questionnaire analysis revealed 68% of students' positivity towards HOTS strategies, calling for varied problem-solving approaches and alignment of teaching strategies with student interests and motivation. Students favoured group projects and reading analysis but highlighted motivation, learning facility, and reading material adequacy. The implementation of HOTS in teaching reading comprehension at SMA Swasta Pembda 1 Gunungsitoli reflects the efforts by both teachers to integrate critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity by (1) choosing suitable texts, (2) questioning the students, (3) asking the author’s point of view from the texts, (4) gathering information, (5) mind mapping, (6) group discussion, and (7) guessing inferring meaning. Teacher 1 emphasized comprehensive HOTS integration, while Teacher 2 showed mastery of the material with management challenges. A collaborated effort between teachers and students is pivotal for optimizing HOTS and enhancing student outcomes. However, challenges related to students' motivation for reading, the utilization of school facilities, and the need for appropriate reading materials remain areas for improvement in enhancing students' engagement and comprehension in reading comprehension activities under the HOTS framework.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out 1) the types of use of translanguaging and indexicality on students’ performance in the Seminar on ELT course and 2) the impact of the use of translanguaging in teaching Seminar on ELT courses in honing student performance. This study observed using an anthropolinguistic approach using analytical parameters, namely interconnection, valuability, and sustainability. A qualitative paradigm with an ethnographic model used in this study by applying twelve steps both in interview and observation methods. Translanguaging is a phenomenon of language use in which people use two or more languages simultaneously. This translanguaging often occurs in teaching when lecturers teach in class or when students present their journals or papers in front of participants in the class. This translanguaging carried out by students requires a language performance style carried out by students in front of all participants present to show their ability and expertise in expressing ideas orally. Translanguaging and indexicality use in students’ performance when presenting their journals or papers. Indexicality or Index can be in lingual form or Non lingual form. A speaker can index changes in relevant aspects of his/her identity in a conversational context. Translanguaging requires innovative language creativity in conveying thinking ideas. The use and application of this trans language can be seen from the performance style of students in front of the class when presenting their papers or journals.

Abstract

Reading comprehension remains a persistent challenge for Indonesian high school students, as evidenced by the country's below-average performance in international assessments like PISA. This issue is particularly evident in understanding news item texts, which require critical thinking and text-structure awareness. The present study investigates the effectiveness of the SQ3R technique—Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review—in improving students' comprehension of news item texts. Using a pre-test and post-test design with 34 Grade XI students, the results revealed a significant improvement in comprehension, with mean scores increasing from 61.47 to 81.91. The t-test analysis indicated a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the technique. The findings underscore the potential of SQ3R in enhancing comprehension through structured, sequential reading stages. Recommendations include integrating SQ3R into reading curricula and providing additional support for students struggling with text structure and vocabulary.

Abstract

This research analyzes the phenomenon of linguistic neocolonialism in the Indonesian creative industry with a case study of the film OOTD: Outfit of The Designer and its implications for English language learning. The study illuminates how the employment of English in film functions not solely as a medium of communication but also as a symbol of modernity, social status, and access to the global market. This study identifies that phenomena such as code-switching, code-mixing, and the predominance of English technical terms are indicative of power dynamics within the creative industry, thereby influencing individuals' language attitudes. Within the domain of English language acquisition, the study suggests that instrumental motivation plays a pivotal role in enhancing Willingness to Communicate (WTC) among learners. However, the study also notes that the preeminence of English can, in fact, give rise to language anxiety, particularly among students who feel less adept in their English usage. With these concerns, this study proposes the integration of translanguaging strategies and multilingual approaches within English language instruction. These methodologies are designed to foster a more inclusive and contextualized learning environment, thereby addressing the challenges posed by the dominance of English and promoting a more equitable and inclusive educational environment. By elucidating the nexus between globalization, language identity, and learning, this research offers insights into the optimal teaching of English in a balanced manner that does not disregard local language diversity.

Abstract

The world economic trends along with expanding markets have driven up the need for English language proficiency among fashion design students at Indonesian vocational high schools. This study performed a needs analysis to identify the English learning needs focusing in reading and viewing skills for tenth-grade students majoring in fashion design. Student questionnaires combined with an English teaching interview were used to collect data using descriptive research methodology. Sixteen students and one English teacher are the participants in this study. Questionnaire responses show that most of the students want careers in fashion design and merchandising, thus they need industry terminology and professional documentation skills and business communication skills. The students demonstrate primarily beginner-level English skills that they struggle to understand fashion-related vocabulary, professional communication, and official fashion documents like tech-packs. The research findings demonstrate why educational content must blend workplace-relevant material while matching industry requirements. To increase students' engagement and comprehension an English teacher needs to integrate multimedia resources together with visual-based instruction and authentic materials. The research helps develop English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learning materials that target vocational education to enable students to develop necessary skills for their future professions.

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of game-based learning (GBL) in the context of writing instruction, specifically examining its influence on students' creativity in Institut Prima Bangsa. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether GBL can foster enhanced creative writing abilities for the students. By analyzing the relative effectiveness of these pedagogical strategies, the study aspires to yield significant insights into the ways in which GBL affects students' writing competencies and creative expression. An experimental research design was utilized, comprising two distinct student groups: an experimental group engaged in writing instruction through GBL and a control group receiving traditional writing education. To evaluate the effectiveness of the instructional approaches, both groups underwent pre-tests and post-tests, which measured various dimensions of writing proficiency and creativity prior to and following the instructional phase. Subsequent statistical analyses were conducted to compare the outcomes of the two groups, with the objective of identifying any notable differences in results. The findings indicated that the experimental group, which participated in GBL, exhibited a marked enhancement in both writing skills and creativity relative to the control group that adhered to traditional instructional practices. This finding underscores the significant implications of the research for educational environments, particularly in the realms of language instruction and curriculum development. The findings highlight the novelty of this study in demonstrating how the integration of game-based learning strategies not only enhances student engagement but also introduces a creative pedagogical framework that stimulates students’ imaginative thinking in ways that traditional methods may not achieve.

Abstract

This study investigates elementary school students' perceptions of the web-based game “gamestolearnenglish” for vocabulary learning. The game is intended to improve vocabulary utilization, motivation, and engagement by including gamification elements. Using a qualitative study, the data was collected through interviews and observations with five fifth-grade students in Surabaya who utilized the game during English learning sessions. The results indicate that the interactive features of the game significantly enhanced student motivation and facilitated an enjoyable learning experience. On the other hand, difficulties such as inadequate material variety and technological problems associated with internet connectivity were found. The game can become a more efficient tool for learning vocabulary if developed further. This study offers valuable insights for teachers and developers of digital learning tools, enabling them to design more engaging and efficient student learning experiences.
