Abstract

The dynamic application of digital learning platforms, including innovative systems like Wayground, has significantly transformed the administration of English language tests such as the English Proficiency Test (EPT). As technology becomes increasingly integrated into educational environments, digital assessment tools are no longer optional but essential for supporting efficient and standardized testing practices. This study explores students’ perceptions of Wayground, a next-generation online platform used to conduct the EPT at Politeknik Negeri Jember. Using a quantitative approach, data were gathered from 217 students across nine departments through structured questionnaires. The results indicate that most respondents appreciate Wayground for its practicality, efficiency, and engaging user interface. Although some minor technical challenges were identified, the majority of participants expressed satisfaction with both the platform’s features and its exam supervision services. Overall, Wayground is viewed as a reliable, accessible, and user-friendly platform with strong potential to enhance digital transformation in English language assessment.  The future implementations of the English Proficiency Test should continue leveraging digital platforms like Wayground while simultaneously refining test content difficulty and strengthening technical and support infrastructures to ensure a more balanced, reliable, and equitable assessment experience for all participants.

Abstract

In their first year of learning at the university, freshmen are usually put in transition.  Unlike other fields of study, freshmen majoring in English might encounter unique academic requirements, including language barriers, especially in a non-English-speaking country. This study aims to explore and describe the challenges in their first year and how they cope with them. Using semi-structured interviews, five freshmen were selected for data collection. The findings reveal some challenges English-major freshmen faced, including academic and language challenges, classroom experience and learning environment, and time management struggles. Due to these obstacles, participants employed various strategies to adapt, such as seeking peer support, adjusting study habits, and improving self-management. The study emphasized the importance of supporting first-year English-major students in their academic transition to achieve successful adaptation and integration. However, the use of a small number of samples and the particular institutional context in which the study was conducted limit the findings of the study.

Abstract

One of the primary factors contributing to Indonesia's rising non-communicable disease burden is cigarette smoking. Government anti-smoking policies include the establishment of smoke-free areas (KTR), the ban on cigarette advertising, promotion, and sponsorship, and the use of pictorial health warnings on cigarette packaging in an effort to lower the number of smokers and shield the public from the risks associated with cigarette smoke exposure. However, effective health promotion measures that are implemented widely, methodically, and on target are crucial to the success of these initiatives. The objective of this paper is to determine the way health promotion strategies promote Indonesia's anti-smoking regulations. This article employs a literature review method to investigate various health promotion media, including visual advertising, social media, and community participation in raising awareness about the risks of cigarettes and the significance of a smoke-free environment. The findings of the study indicate that integrated and evidence-based promotional techniques can raise public knowledge of the dangers of smoking and enhance acceptance of laws such as KTR and cigarette advertising bans. Furthermore, cross-sector cooperation, which includes educational institutions, civil society organizations, and the media, is critical to the achievement of developing a healthy culture and environment that promotes a smoke-free lifestyle. To broaden and sustain the impact of promotion, risk communication policies must be strengthened, and health message delivery must be innovative. Effective health promotion initiatives serve as a link between policy and changes in community behavior.
