Abstract

The aim of this journal is to explore the role of music in enhancing listening skills, which is one of the core competencies in English language learning, alongside speaking, reading, and writing. These essential skills are categorized into productive (speaking and writing) and receptive (listening and reading) abilities. Music and songs play a critical role in both educational and developmental contexts. Incorporating music into classroom settings offers numerous advantages. While there are differing opinions on the use of songs for teaching foreign languages, employing music during listening exercises is widely recognized as an effective strategy for improving listening skills. English songs, in particular, can be quite captivating, fostering student engagement and improving performance in listening activities. However, there are limitations to using music for this purpose, such as the potential inaccuracy of lyrics in popular songs and the challenge of poor sound systems in classrooms, which can hinder the effectiveness of music-based listening exercises

Abstract

This study aims to explore the influence of group discussions on the improvement of students' speaking skills in English. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this research involves 15 students who participated in group discussions in the English class. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observations during the discussion sessions. The research results show that group discussions significantly enhance students' confidence, comfort, and engagement in communication. As many as 80% of respondents reported an increase in confidence, while 75% felt more comfortable expressing their ideas. Additionally, the frequency of verbal interactions increased by 60%, indicating that students are more actively participating in discussions. These findings affirm that the collaborative environment created through group discussions contributes to the development of speaking skills. This research has practical implications for English language teaching, where group discussion methods can be integrated into the curriculum to enhance students' speaking skills. Keywords: Speaking Skill, Interpersonal Communication and Collaborative Learning

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the phenomenon of cadre culture within the Islamic Student Association (HMI) at the Faculty of Social Sciences, State University of Medan. As the oldest Islamic student organization in Indonesia, HMI's cadre system is not only formal but also deeply rooted in ideological, symbolic, and spiritual values. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through case studies involving observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Findings show that cadre formation in HMI FIS UNIMED is perceived as a process of ideological, intellectual, and spiritual self-development, transmitted through symbols, traditions, core ideological values, and continuous mentoring. Nevertheless, this process faces challenges such as decreasing student interest, weak leadership regeneration, and demands for digital adaptation. Despite these challenges, young cadres continue to innovate to ensure that cadre culture remains contextual and relevant.
