Abstract

One aspect of English that is difficult for students to master is writing, because it requires the right method/technique in teaching after the pandemic. For this reason, this research was appointed, with the aim at knowing whether the TBLT method has an impact on the students' English learning process, especially for their writing skill. This research was conducted in class VIII of junior high school students, because this is an experimental study, a pre-experimental design is used with the type of one-group pre-test and post-test. In addition, in assessing the writing of students, this study adapts the writing rubric of (Brown, 2007). The results showed that TBLT has a very significant effect on students' writing, this can be seen in the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test. However, considering also the situation of students at the time of the study, it is hoped that further researchers or readers can examine more deeply about the learning losses found in this study or can use the results of the research as a starting point for learning problems during the new normal.

Abstract

This research explored the impact of Video-Based Learning (VBL) and Web-Based Learning (WBL) on enhancing the understanding of conditional sentences (Types 1, 2, and 3) among Grade 10 students at SMA UNKLAB Airmadidi. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 60 students were assigned to two groups: one received instruction via VBL, while the other was taught using WBL. Pre-test and post-test results were examined using IBM SPSS Version 26, with both paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests applied. The paired-sample t-test indicated notable improvement in both groups. The average score for the VBL group rose from 33.60 to 77.87, and for the WBL group from 33.20 to 59.73. The independent-sample t-test yielded a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001, signifying a statistically significant difference between the groups. While both approaches were effective, VBL demonstrated a more substantial effect on students' grammar proficiency. Additionally, analysis showed no significant difference in performance based on gender, suggesting that both teaching methods were equally effective for male and female students. Overall, the findings underscore the advantages of incorporating digital media in grammar instruction, with VBL particularly enhancing student engagement and understanding of complex grammar topics. This study affirms the value of multimedia in English teaching and highlights the potential of visual and interactive content to boost learner motivation and success.

Abstract

Feminism is an enduring social issue, persisting from ancient times to the present. The struggles of early feminists resonate today, with patriarchy still evident in modern media, such as Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women. This research examines how Little Women portrays the social issues of feminism, focusing on the experiences of the main character. Utilizing Sugihastuti's feminist approach, which defines feminism as a movement advocating for equality between men and women across political, economic, educational, and social spheres, the study explores the film's depiction of these themes. Additionally, Betty Friedan's feminist theory is employed to delve deeper into the feminist issues presented. The findings highlight several key feminist themes, including the societal expectation that women must marry to secure their future, the notion that women's roles are confined to homemaking, and the resistance to these norms by characters who choose their paths. The film illustrates the tension between traditional expectations and the characters' desires for independence, revealing the complexities of feminism and its relevance in contemporary society. Through this analysis, the research underscores how Little Women reflects ongoing feminist struggles and challenges the persistent patriarchal norms, offering a nuanced portrayal of women's autonomy and empowerment

Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technologies into English Language Teaching (ELT) has significantly reshaped pedagogical practices, offering both opportunities and ethical challenges. This study reviews the philosophy of education in the digital age, with a focus on ELT approaches and the ethical concerns arising from their adoption. Three key issues are identified: accessibility and the digital divide, data privacy and security, and reduced human interaction. These challenges underscore the importance of a balanced approach to digital education that upholds equity, security, and social connection. The findings reveal that, while digital tools enhance access to educational resources, they risk excluding students from marginalized communities due to technological disparities. Similarly, the growing use of digital platforms raises concerns about the collection and misuse of sensitive student data, emphasizing the need for robust data protection measures. Additionally, the decline in human interaction within virtual learning environments may affect student motivation, engagement, and emotional well-being. Addressing these ethical challenges is crucial to ensuring that digital ELT adheres to the principles of inclusivity and fairness, fostering a more equitable and secure learning environment for all students. This review provides practical insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in navigating the complexities of digital education.

Abstract

The active learning component of the student-centered learning strategy involves students working in teams to complete projects and solve issues. They also ask and answer their own questions, discuss topics, and provide explanations in class. This study intends to examine how lecturers view the student-centered learning strategy when teaching intermediate grammar to second-graders in higher education. It also seeks to ascertain how effective this technique is in this setting. This study specifically responds to the following queries: 1). How do the teachers feel about implementing a student-centered learning strategy when instructing intermediate English grammar? 2). How do the pre-test and post-test results of the control and experimental groups compare? An experimental research design was used in this study. The control group and the experimental group are the two groups that make up this study.  First-graders in the experimental group were steered through student-centered education to improve their command of intermediate grammar. The findings demonstrated that student-centered learning was highly successful, while instructor perceptions were favorable, neutral, and negative. So, there are still pros and cons if teaching grammar uses a student-centered learning approach
