An introduction of a novel approach that can translate the meaning of a word in different language exactly. The method was used by employing a simple logic of number summation through the conversion of alphabet of a language into a number. The understanding of precise meaning of a word is shown from 2 different languages and alphabets to three types of languages. In addition, it was invented that it is also possible to have accurate synonym of a word in 4 kinds of languages. This simple technique suggests that by explaining the understanding and meaning of a word in number, the scholars can obtain exact similarity from a word.

This study applied descriptive qualitative as the research method to collect the data through observation and interview from class V of Citra Kasih Elementary School in Ambon.

It was obvious when students gave ambiguous or irrelevant answers or utterances and inaccurate or incorrect answers. The analysis of these findings indicated several factors that led to the maxim violation in classroom interactions, namely lack of vocabulary which is caused by the lack of self-exploration, social distance and cultural factors where students are not encouraged to discover and explore their knowledge, abilities and interests. Knowing these factors may help the teachers to anticipate possible factors that may hidding the effectiveness of classroom interaction.

Abstract

The exchange of experiences regarding the challenges of learning German with the students in the "Seminar in German" course in the second semester of 2024 at Khon Kaen University revealed that the lack of opportunities to practice the German language in daily life is the major shared challenge. The students were divided into groups to brainstorm possible solutions to this issue, and each group was tasked with creating a project that would produce an end product enabling as many opportunities as possible to practice German in everyday situations. The projects were presented at the end of the semester and tested by the class and the instructor to see how effectively they worked. The students were divided into five groups, and each group created a different end product. This article will focus on the project work of the students in Group 3, namely flashcards on vocabulary related to different everyday topics. The reason for this focus is that this is my first article in which I write about the project works from this course. I see vocabulary as the foundation of language learning, which is why I want to begin by discussing the vocabulary-oriented project work. These flashcards were designed to help learners remember words related to specific topics and to form sentences using them. The students and their target audience were at the A2 language level. Nevertheless, the creation of language games in areas they wish to practice, in a form that matches their interests and is playful, can be adapted and applied to learners of all language levels.
