Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) method on improving students’ English speaking skills at SMPN 16 Bengkulu City. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The sample consisted of two seventh-grade classes: class VII G as the experimental group and class VII B as the control group, with a total of 62 students. The instrument used was a speaking test assessing three components: fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility. The research procedures included a pre-test, four treatment sessions for the experimental group, and a post-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in speaking skills among students taught using the PjBL method. The experimental group’s mean score increased from 35.8 (pre-test) to 66.9 (post-test), while the control group increased from 34.3 to 55.7. Normality and homogeneity tests showed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The independent sample t-test result revealed a significance value lower than 0.05, indicating that PjBL had a statistically significant effect on students' speaking achievement. In conclusion, the Project Based Learning method is effective in enhancing students’ English speaking skills, particularly in fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility. It is recommended that English teachers apply PjBL as an interactive, student-centered learning strategy.

Abstract

Teaching syntactic unit especially clause to students is a crucial issue because clause is an important part in sentence forming. This research focuses on clause patterns that is a part of syntax which is needed by students in improve their ability in English (Basri, Ampa, & Junaid, 2013). This research adopts qualitative descriptive method to analyze seven English clause patterns in students’ weekly journal syntactically. The aims of this study are to know and analyze the types of clause pattern the students use in their weekly journal; to get information about the type of clause pattern that is frequently used by students in their weekly journal; and to gain the data about the way the students write the clause pattern in their weekly journal. This study took place in one of the vocational high schools in Cianjur by involving 32 students from XI AKKUL class. The data were gained from students’ weekly journal entitled Weekly Diary from September 23rd to November 13th 2018. The findings show clause pattern S+V is written in 15 data (6,91%), clause pattern S+V+O is written in 38 data (17,51%), clause pattern S+V+Co is written in 69 data (31,8%), clause pattern S+V+O+O is written in 3 data (1,38%), clause pattern S+V+O+Co is written in 25 data (11,52%), clause pattern S+V+Ad is written in 18 data (8,3%), and clause pattern S+V+O+Ad is written in 49 data (22,58%). From the data collected, it can be seen that the students tend to write their clause with S+V+Co pattern. The students like giving a complement for the subject in their clauses and mostly in form of adjective.

Abstract

This study investigates how Reuters and The Jakarta Post framed Indonesia’s 2025 student protests, emphasizing differences in media orientation and narrative construction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the analysis integrates Goffman’s (1974) concept of frame as a social schema, Entman’s (1993) four framing elements, and Semetko and Valkenburg’s (2000) five generic frames. The data were drawn from one article in each outlet, selected purposively from coverage published during the protest’s peak period in February 2025. Findings reveal that Reuters employed an event-centered and neutral tone, framing the protests primarily as a reaction to economic policy and government legitimacy. In contrast, The Jakarta Post adopted a more domestically engaged framing that emphasized democratic ideals, civic responsibility, and national identity through moral and responsibility frames. The comparative analysis reveals that institutional and editorial contexts influence media narratives, where international media tend to maintain neutrality, while domestic outlets often embed political dissent within their national discourse. This study contributes to comparative media studies by revealing how framing practices construct distinct portrayals of political activism within Southeast Asian contexts.

Abstract

Storytelling has long been positioned as a productive pedagogical resource in English language learning because it connects linguistic form, meaning, imagination, and social experience. However, studies on storytelling and cultural awareness in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms remain conceptually dispersed across language pedagogy, intercultural communicative competence, children's literature, digital storytelling, and bibliometric methodology. This article revises a narrative literature review into a bibliometric-scoping analysis that maps the intellectual foundations, publication phases, and thematic clusters shaping research on storytelling, cultural awareness, and English language learning. Using a curated corpus of peer-reviewed and scholarly works identified through open scholarly search, publisher pages, ERIC, reference chaining, and methodological sources on science mapping, the study applies descriptive bibliometric mapping, manual keyword normalization, co-word interpretation, and thematic synthesis. The analysis shows that the field has developed through four overlapping phases: foundational theories of communicative and intercultural competence, narrative-based language pedagogy, multimodal and digital storytelling, and systematic or bibliometric consolidation. Five major clusters were identified: intercultural communicative competence, narrative pedagogy, literary and picturebook-based EFL learning, digital storytelling and multimodal composition, and bibliometric research design. The findings suggest that storytelling contributes to cultural awareness when classroom practice moves beyond story exposure toward guided comparison, reflective dialogue, learner identity work, and culturally responsive story production. The study offers theoretical, pedagogical, curriculum, and methodological implications for EFL teachers, teacher educators, materials developers, and researchers. It concludes that storytelling should be treated not as a supplementary motivational activity but as a structured intercultural pedagogy capable of integrating language development, empathy, critical cultural reflection, and learner agency.

Abstract

This study examines the construction, circulation, and contestation of symbolic meaning in political language on social media during the 2024 Makassar mayoral election. In contemporary local elections, social media has become more than a channel for transmitting campaign information; it functions as a symbolic arena in which political identities, local cultural claims, and affective attachments are continuously produced and negotiated. Using symbolic interactionism as the main analytical framework, this qualitative case study analyzes verbal and visual campaign symbols circulated through candidates' official Instagram, X, and Facebook accounts, together with public audience responses in the form of comments, likes, shares, and discursive counter-narratives. The findings show that slogans, hashtags, local linguistic markers, cultural attire, religious icons, and urban landmarks were strategically deployed to construct candidates as populist, culturally rooted, religiously legitimate, and future-oriented figures. However, these symbols did not generate a single stable meaning. Supporters interpreted them as signs of representation, hope, and collective identity, whereas skeptical users reframed the same symbols as empty rhetoric, elite manipulation, or performative populism. The study concludes that social media transformed the Makassar mayoral election into a symbolic performance in which political legitimacy was shaped not only by programs and policy claims but also by the capacity to control, circulate, and defend meanings in digital public space. The article contributes to political communication studies by foregrounding a locally specific Eastern Indonesian case and by showing how symbolic interaction, platform affordances, and local cultural repertoires intersect in digital electoral politics.

Abstract

This study analyzes manca' paddang, a traditional Selayar martial performance using swords, as a performative semiotic practice in which the body, object, and humor operate as cultural signs. Although the performance remains visible in ritual and community stages, it is often reduced to entertainment, thereby obscuring its role in transmitting values of courage, siri', social intimacy, and cultural memory. Using an interpretive qualitative design, data were collected over approximately three months in Galung Bontosikuyu, Benteng Bontoharu, Kayuadi, and Pulau Madu through passive observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation of performances. Charles Sanders Peirce's triadic model of representamen, object, and interpretant was used as the main analytical framework, complemented by performance studies perspectives on embodied action and cultural transmission. The findings show that the performer's body functions as a representamen through patterned movement, gesture, posture, and facial expression. The paddang or sword operates as an object that indexes courage, self-control, and disciplined masculinity while structuring dramatic interaction. Humor emerges as a dynamic interpretant through playful improvisation, laughter, and audience participation, transforming potential violence into social intimacy. The study argues that manca' paddang is not merely a traditional martial attraction but a complex cultural sign system in which Selayar identity is enacted, negotiated, and reproduced. It contributes to scholarship on Indonesian performance by integrating Peircean semiotics with performative analysis of embodied local knowledge.

Abstract

This study examines verb tense errors in essays written by Palestinian undergraduate students learning English as a foreign language. The study addresses three questions: what types of verb tense errors appear in students' essays, which error type is most dominant, and what linguistic and pedagogical challenges may explain the observed patterns. Using a qualitative descriptive design supported by error analysis, students' essays were examined and coded according to the surface strategy taxonomy of omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. The analysis identified 60 verb-tense-related errors. Misformation was the most frequent category, accounting for 28 errors (46.7%), followed by omission with 15 errors (25.0%), addition with 10 errors (16.7%), and misordering with 7 errors (11.7%). The findings indicate that the major difficulty was not merely knowing the names of English tenses, but selecting contextually appropriate verb forms, maintaining tense consistency across clauses, and controlling subject-verb agreement in extended writing. The discussion relates these findings to interlanguage theory, Arabic-English cross-linguistic influence, overgeneralization, limited automatization of inflectional morphology, and the instructional separation of grammar practice from authentic writing tasks. Pedagogically, the study argues for form-focused writing instruction, explicit attention to tense-aspect meaning, guided noticing activities, focused written corrective feedback, and repeated revision cycles. The study contributes to EFL writing research by offering a tense-focused account of Palestinian undergraduate writing and by translating error analysis results into practical implications for grammar-informed academic writing pedagogy.

Abstract

Arts and Culture education in Indonesian senior high schools continues to face a persistent challenge: the integration of character values into learning experiences that are authentic, affective, and aligned with adolescents' aesthetic worlds. Many teaching materials remain repetitive across school levels and tend to emphasize technical and theoretical knowledge rather than students' lived experiences, emotional development, and moral formation. In response to this issue, this study examines D'Masiv's popular song "Jangan Menyerah" as a potential foundation for character education and for the conceptual development of integrated teaching materials in music, dance, and theatre. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design using document analysis. The primary data consisted of the song lyrics, official audio recording, and official music video, while the secondary data included Merdeka Curriculum documents, the Pancasila Student Profile, and relevant scholarly literature on character education, popular music, and arts pedagogy. Data were analyzed through repeated reading and viewing, meaning-unit coding, thematic categorization, and source triangulation across verbal, musical, and visual-narrative data. The findings identify six major character values embedded in the song: perseverance and independence, optimism and hope, religiosity and spirituality, emotional resilience, social concern and empathy, and responsibility and courage. These values are reinforced by the song's reflective minor tonality, moderate tempo, dynamic contrast, coherent popular-song structure, and expressive vocal texture. The study further demonstrates that these values correspond closely to the Pancasila Student Profile and to the developmental needs of senior high school students. The analysis is then translated into conceptual teaching-material designs for music appreciation and singing practice, dance movement exploration and creative choreography, theatre character analysis and scriptwriting/acting, and an integrated musical-theatre performance project. The study contributes theoretically to character-based arts education and practically to the development of contextual, project-based, and adolescent-relevant Arts and Culture learning materials.

Abstract

This study aims to identify students’ difficulties in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), examine the reasons behind teachers’ selection of teaching strategies, and explore how these strategies are implemented in the classroom. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were gathered via classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with two English teachers and eighth-grade students at MTs Al-Wasilah Lemo. The results indicated that students encountered difficulties in five areas: cognitive, affective, linguistic, social, and environmental. The predominant challenges were identified in the cognitive and affective domains. To mitigate these issues, teachers employed three primary strategies: drills and repetition, pair work and group discussion, and role play. Drills and repetition facilitated enhancements in students’ pronunciation and vocabulary retention, although they occasionally led to boredom. Pair work and group discussion promoted active engagement and peer learning, although some students remained passive. Role plays bolstered students' confidence and speaking skills by offering meaningful and engaging learning experiences. This study concludes that the integration of these strategies effectively assists students in surmounting their challenges in EFL learning. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to apply varied and student-centered strategies to create a supportive and effective learning environment.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in higher education has created new opportunities for developing entrepreneurial competencies among university students. However, limited research has examined how AI Literacy contributes to Entrepreneurial Readiness and the mechanism through which this relationship occurs. This study investigates the relationships among AI Literacy, Digital Content Creation Skills, and Entrepreneurial Readiness among Economics Education students at Universitas Negeri Makassar. A quantitative survey design was employed, involving 300 undergraduate students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings revealed that AI Literacy positively and significantly influenced Digital Content Creation Skills (β = 0.617, p < 0.001) and Entrepreneurial Readiness (β = 0.316, p < 0.001). Furthermore, Digital Content Creation Skills significantly affected Entrepreneurial Readiness (β = 0.424, p < 0.001) and partially mediated the relationship between AI Literacy and Entrepreneurial Readiness (β = 0.262, p < 0.001). The study concludes that AI Literacy represents an important antecedent of Entrepreneurial Readiness, while Digital Content Creation Skills serve as a critical mechanism linking technological competence and entrepreneurial development among university students in the digital era.
