Abstract

This study delves into the transformative potential of integrating gamification principles into vocabulary learning for 11th-grade students at SMAN 4 Mataram. Vocabulary acquisition is critical for academic progress, especially in preparation for standardized exams and college admissions, yet conventional methods often lack student engagement. Gamification, defined as the incorporation of game elements into non-gaming contexts, emerges as a promising strategy. The research explores how English teachers at SMAN 4 Mataram employ gamification, addressing questions about the types used, advantages gained, and obstacles faced. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study identifies two principal gamification classifications: content gamification, involving modifications to educational materials, and structural gamification, integrating game elements without altering content. Teachers utilize diverse gamification methodologies, fostering interactive learning environments. Challenges include accommodating diverse student abilities and aligning with evolving curriculum requirements. Theoretical implications span educational gamification, cognitive processes in vocabulary acquisition, and motivation theories. Practically, the study aims to enhance students' vocabulary skills, academic performance, and engagement, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers in leveraging gamification for improved language learning outcomes.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to report the interpreter’s contribution in conference interpreting and explore their contributions to the Indonesia's education. The grand theory used in this research is theory of interpreter's contribution proposed by Souza (2017). Qualitative research was utilized to collect and analyze data, employing open-ended interviews with professional interpreter as participant. The study found that interpreters play an important contribution in bridging communication gaps and ensuring effective communication in diverse educational settings such as importance of experience, technique, and overall skills in determining an interpreter's contribution. Additionally, the overall skills of an interpreter, including their cultural competence, adaptability, and ability to handle stress, are crucial to ensuring successful communication in educational contexts. By leveraging it, interpreters significantly contribute to the educational environment, promoting inclusivity and mutual understanding.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of colloquial language on the English writing skills of Grade-11 students. It evaluates the prevalence of colloquial language usage, encompassing contractions, abbreviations, and sentence structures. Concurrently, it conducts a comprehensive assessment of students' writing skills, specifically emphasizing grammar, spelling, and coherence. The research methodology employed a quantitative approach, implementing a descriptive-correlational design. A rigorously selected random sample of 83 Grade 11 students from San Juan National High School forms the basis of this study. Data collection procedures include the utilization of a validated researcher-designed survey questionnaire coupled with the systematic analysis of written essays through the application of analytical rubrics. Empirical findings stemming from this investigation underscore the commendable writing proficiency of the students, with 30% demonstrating proficiency in grammar, 80% in spelling, and 28% in coherence. The p>0.05 indicates that there is no significant correlation between colloquial language usage and the level of writing skills of the participants. These findings offer valuable insights into the limited impact of colloquial language on the development of writing skills, irrespective of prevailing linguistic variations within society. Consequently, educators are encouraged to consider the judicious integration of opportunities for students to engage with colloquial language within contextually appropriate boundaries.

Abstract

This research study used Pragmatics to examine the language functions of Bikol Proverbs, explore their connections, and understand their importance in the lives of the participants. Specifically, it sought to 1) identify the proverbial expressions that the respondents were familiar with, 2) determine those proverbial expressions that they conformed to and non-conformed from, 3) determine the speech act present in the proverbs, and 4) examine the effects of the proverbial expressions on conformity and non-conformity to social norms. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and triangulated to strengthen the analysis. An audit trail was utilized to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the findings and to eliminate any bias in the interpretation of the data. The results revealed that the participants had a strong affinity for Bikol proverbs, believing that conforming to these proverbial expressions would shape their lifestyle, moral principles, and standard of living. These proverbs have a significant influence in improving the lifestyle, moral principles, and standard of living of Bikolanos and in instilling values in the younger generation. The preservation of Bikol proverbs, particularly this oral tradition, is recommended for the benefit of locals to value their ancestral heritage including cultural identity, values, and traditions.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in translation services has transformed the landscape of linguistic studies. This study assesses the effectiveness of AI-driven translation tools among English Literature students at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, focusing on translation accuracy, usability, and impact on language learning. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collected quantitative data through questionnaires and supported it with a literature review. Findings indicate that 96.6% of students regularly use AI translation tools, with a majority finding them helpful. However, concerns about over-reliance on these tools and their potential negative impact on language skill development were noted. The study highlights the dual role of AI tools in enhancing learning while requiring human oversight for accuracy and contextual relevance. Recommendations for improving AI tools include ensuring contextually accurate translations, enhancing vocabulary databases, and integrating human input. Overall, while AI translation tools significantly aid students' academic activities, a balanced approach is crucial to avoid dependency and ensure the development of independent language skills
