Abstract

Literal reading, which involves understanding information explicitly stated in a text, is a foundational component of reading comprehension and is essential for higher-level reading skills. Despite its importance, limited research has examined students’ challenges at this basic level of comprehension in the Indonesian EFL context. This research employed quantitative descriptive. The participants were 68 first-year university students enrolled in an English course at a university in Indonesia. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire consisting of eight Likert-scale. The findings reveal that many students experience persistent difficulties in literal reading comprehension. High proportions of neutral responses across items indicate uncertainty and inconsistent confidence in processing explicitly stated information in English texts. Difficulties were particularly evident in sentence-level comprehension, identifying textual relationships, and verifying information based on clear textual evidence. Although understanding basic WH-information appeared less problematic, students’ overall literal reading skills remained unstable. The conclusion is that literal reading skills cannot be assumed to be fully developed among university-level EFL learners. Explicit instruction, targeted vocabulary support, and structured reading activities are recommended to strengthen students’ foundational reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study aims to develop food storytelling materials within the context of tourism in Nias, as an effort to optimize the untapped culinary potential. Using the ADDIE model, the research formulates engaging narratives to enhance tourist appeal. Trial results at the Museum Pusaka Nias indicate that 87,4% of visitors felt more inclined to try local food after interacting with the storytelling materials. The developed materials effectively educate tourists about the ingredients and cooking processes of Nias cuisine while serving as a communicative tool to convey local culture and traditions. This study recommends an increase in stakeholder awareness regarding the benefits of storytelling in promoting tourism, as well as the importance of collaboration among academics, practitioners, and the community to create authentic and sustainable culinary experiences. These findings emphasize that innovation in the presentation of culinary stories can enhance tourism marketing and preserve the cultural heritage of Nias.

Abstract

English vocabulary mastery presents a significant challenge for nonformal education students characterized by heterogeneous backgrounds and limited face-to-face instructional time. This study explores the effectiveness of gamified vocabulary challenges through WhatsApp in improving vocabulary mastery among Grade XI students at PKBM Arrohmah Demak Package C program. Employing a pre-experimental design with one-group pretest-posttest, the research involved 40 students participating in a two-week gamification program with structured daily and weekly tasks. Data were collected through standardized vocabulary tests and participation tracking via WhatsApp platform. Analysis using paired sample t-test and Pearson correlation revealed significant improvement in mean scores from 56.2 to 74.8 with participation rates reaching 87.5%. The multidimensional assessment system measured timeliness, completeness, accuracy, and creativity with an overall achievement of 77.4%. A strong positive correlation was identified between participation levels and learning achievement. Findings confirm that integrating gamification and mobile learning through WhatsApp effectively enhances vocabulary mastery in nonformal education contexts. This platform offers high accessibility and flexibility suitable for adult learner characteristics. Despite its effectiveness, challenges such as limited internet access and low student creativity require attention in future digital learning implementations.

Abstract

This research investigated the correlation between students’ language exposure and their writing ability. It was motivated by several issues identified among students, such as difficulties in expressing ideas effectively, inconsistencies in writing styles possibly influenced by different levels of language exposure, and a lack of familiarity with proper writing structures. The objective of this research was to determine whether there is a significant correlation between students’ language exposure and their writing ability among eighth-grade students. A correlational research design was employed in this research. The population consisted of 80 eighth-grade students, and total sampling was used to include all participants. The instruments used were a questionnaire and a writing test. The questionnaire contained 23 items to measure students’ language exposure, while the writing test required students to write a recount text based on one of four given topics. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation through SPSS. The findings revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.755, indicating a strong and positive relationship between students’ language exposure and their writing ability. The results suggest that greater exposure to the English language significantly contributes to the improvement of students’ writing ability. It can be concluded that enhancing students’ engagement with English through various forms of exposure plays an important role in developing their writing proficiency.
