Abstract

This study evaluates the lexical density of reading materials in the K13 English textbooks used in Indonesian secondary schools, focusing on the alignment of text complexity with students' cognitive abilities and language proficiency levels. A total of 10 reading texts from both junior and senior high school textbooks were analyzed, covering various genres including narrative, descriptive, expository, and functional texts. Lexical density, defined as the proportion of content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs) relative to the total word count, was calculated for each text. The results revealed significant variations in lexical density across genres, with descriptive and report texts exhibiting higher complexity, while genres like narratives and procedures showed a more balanced lexical composition. The study found that texts with higher lexical density may be challenging for lower-level learners, while more balanced texts are likely more accessible. These findings suggest that, while some texts are appropriately challenging, others may require adjustments to better cater to students' proficiency levels. The study highlights the importance of revising the K13 English textbooks to enhance their suitability for diverse learners and align more effectively with the goals of the K13 curriculum. The use of lexical density as an objective metric provides valuable insights for improving the readability and overall effectiveness of English language education in Indonesia. This research implies that curriculum designers and textbook authors should consider incorporating a wider range of text complexities to accommodate varying student proficiency levels, ensuring equitable learning opportunities and improved language development outcomes

Abstract

This study analyzes the promotional brochures of two universities, Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU) and Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (UMSU), using Askehave and Nielson's (2005) framework for move analysis. The framework identifies nine moves, including attracting attention, greeting, identifying the sender, detailing content, and establishing contact, among others. The analysis reveals both similarities and differences in how these institutions present themselves to prospective students. Both brochures use visually appealing designs, structured layouts, and detailed content to engage readers and emphasize institutional credibility. UISU’s brochure prioritizes practical details, such as scholarships, facilities, and operational transparency, aiming to provide prospective students with comprehensive and actionable information. Conversely, UMSU’s brochure emphasizes its "Grade A" accreditation, Islamic values, and unique identity, positioning itself as a prestigious institution in Sumatera. The findings highlight how higher education institutions employ tailored strategies in their promotional materials to address the needs and aspirations of their target audiences. This study provides valuable insights into effective communication practices in higher education marketing, emphasizing the importance of balancing institutional goals with audience expectations

Abstract

The lack of adequate learning media for Class VIII PAI subjects at SMPN 2 Payakumbuh served as the impetus for this research, as it has adversely affected the overall learning process. To address this issue, the study focused on the development of PAI learning media tailored to Class VIII, ensuring it met validity standards. The objective was to design valid learning media using the Lectora Inspire application for use at SMPN 2 Payakumbuh. This study employed a developmental research approach based on the 4D model, which encompasses four main stages: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. However, this research was confined to the Develop stage. The findings indicate that the learning media achieved validity criteria, as evidenced by its alignment with the CP, TP, and ATP standards, as well as the suitability of its graphics, layout, and typography. Expert validation, conducted by two PAI content specialists and one media expert, rated the quality of the interactive learning media produced using the Lectora Inspire application as "very valid," with an average validation score of 92.1%. The implications of this research suggest that the integration of interactive and validated learning media, such as the Lectora Inspire application, can enhance the teaching and learning process, providing educators and students with more effective tools to achieve learning objectives.

Abstract

This study investigates students' perceptions of Kahoot as a gamified assessment tool for TOEFL Structure and Written Expression. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study analyzes responses from 19 participants who engaged in Kahoot-based evaluations. Findings reveal that Kahoot's interactive features—leaderboards, real-time feedback, and competitive scoring—significantly enhanced students' motivation, engagement, and enthusiasm during the evaluation process. The majority of participants expressed strong interest in using Kahoot for future evaluations and incorporating it into their teaching practices, citing its user-friendliness and effectiveness in sustaining attention throughout the assessment. Notably, no participants reported disinterest or demotivation, further reinforcing the platform’s potential as an engaging learning tool. This study highlights the transformative potential of gamified tools like Kahoot in creating dynamic learning environments that enhance traditional assessments. The results offer valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers seeking to integrate gamification into educational practices, particularly in high-stakes test preparation contexts. The implications of this research suggest that incorporating gamified tools can not only increase student engagement but also foster deeper learning through interactive and enjoyable assessment experiences. Moreover, such tools can bridge the gap between learning and assessment by making evaluations less intimidating and more accessible. Future research should explore its application across diverse educational settings and its long-term impact on learning outcomes

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the struggle of a secret service agent to clear his name of an alleged assassination he did not commit, as visualized in the movie Angel Has Fallen, using Vladimir Propp’s theory, particularly the seven spheres of action and thirty-one narrative functions. To conduct this research, the writer employed a qualitative method. During the analysis process, the writer classified the characters into the seven spheres of action and identified the sequence of events based on the thirty-one narrative functions. The results of this research revealed five spheres of action: villain, donor, helper, hero, and false hero. Additionally, ten narrative functions were identified in the movie Angel Has Fallen, including departure, pursuit, the first function of the donor, unfounded claims, beginning counteraction, villainy, guidance, struggle, victory, and exposure. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of how narrative structures and character roles are used to convey themes of redemption and justice in action movies. The application of Propp’s theory provides a framework for analyzing the narrative complexities of modern films. This research could serve as a reference for future studies exploring the narrative structures of action or thriller genres and could also be useful for filmmakers aiming to craft compelling and structured narratives

The objectives of the research were to identify the pronunciation errors, particularly in monophthong sounds, and to determine the causes of these errors. The study employed a qualitative research methodology. The participants were tenth-grade students of SMK SMTI Bandar Lampung, with a sample of 30 students from the KI 2 class, selected using purposive sampling. Data collection involved students being given 36 words containing short and long monophthong vowel sounds (/ɑ:/, /ɪ:/, /u:/, /ɜ:/, /ɔ:/, /ɒ/, /ɪ/, /ʊ/, /e/, /æ/, /ʌ/, /ə/). The pronunciation errors were analyzed using the Linguistic Category Taxonomy, as proposed by Dulay. Additionally, observations were conducted to identify the causes of errors based on Brown’s theoretical framework. The findings revealed that students made a total of 923 pronunciation errors in monophthong sounds, comprising 473 errors in short vowels and 450 errors in long vowels. Common errors included replacing correct sounds with incorrect ones, adding unnecessary sounds, and omitting required sounds. Regarding the causes of errors, interlingual transfer was identified as the most frequent cause. Other contributing factors included intralingual transfer, the context of learning, and communication strategies

Abstract

The transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic brought significant challenges to maintaining student engagement, particularly in video conferencing-based EFL writing classes. While prior research has highlighted the potential of platforms like Zoom for synchronous learning, studies focusing on the dimensions of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement in writing courses remain limited. This study aims to measure the levels of student engagement in video conferencing-based EFL writing classes and identify strategies to enhance engagement across these dimensions. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study involved 40 English Education undergraduate students at UIN Raden Intan Lampung, selected through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire with 30 items measuring engagement dimensions, distributed via Google Forms. Qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 10 purposively selected participants. The questionnaire data were analyzed using SPSS for descriptive and inferential statistics, while thematic analysis was applied to the interview transcripts. The findings reveal high levels of cognitive engagement, with students actively participating in writing tasks facilitated by Zoom’s interactive features. However, behavioral engagement was moderate due to external challenges like connectivity issues and environmental distractions. Emotional engagement ranged from moderate to high, with students appreciating the platform's flexibility but occasionally experiencing feelings of isolation. The study highlights the need for integrating gamification, structured feedback, and hybrid learning models to address these challenges.

Abstract

This study explores the cognitive stylistic features of Maroon 5’s song “Animal” through the lens of conceptual metaphor theory and schema theory. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research examines the interplay between metaphorical language and cognitive processes to uncover how figurative expressions evoke imagery, emotions, and conceptual mappings related to primal instincts and desire. The analysis focuses on identifying metaphorical expressions such as hunting and predation, interpreting their cognitive and emotional resonance. The findings reveal that metaphors and vivid imagery in the song not only depict themes of obsession and vulnerability but also activate cognitive schemas, connecting listeners to the raw, instinctual aspects of human nature. This study contributes to the field of cognitive stylistics by providing insights into how language interacts with cognition to construct meaning and elicit emotional responses in artistic texts.

Abstract

Lecturers often face significant mental health challenges, with anxiety emerging as one of the most prevalent issues within academic settings. Factors such as excessive workloads, research obligations, and administrative responsibilities frequently contribute to elevated anxiety levels. Among various therapeutic interventions, mindfulness-based counseling has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating anxiety symptoms. This study investigates the impact of mindfulness-based counseling on anxiety management among university lecturers. Adopting a quantitative experimental design, the research involved 50 lecturers from multiple universities in West Sumatra. The findings reveal that mindfulness-based counseling leads to a statistically significant reduction in anxiety levels. These results underscore the potential of mindfulness-based interventions as an effective method for enhancing the psychological well-being of lecturers. The intervention yielded an average reduction of approximately 12 points in HAM-A scores, affirming its therapeutic value. The integration of mindfulness-based counseling in academic institutions may not only improve lecturers’ mental health but also enhance the overall quality of teaching they deliver.
