Abstract

This community service activity aims to develop a culture-based educational tourism program at Taokwan Qing Ping Gong Temple as a medium for introducing Chinese culture to the public. This activity is a follow-up to research conducted by students of the Mandarin Language and Chinese Culture Study Program, which analyzed the symbolic meanings of architectural elements, ornaments, and ritual practices at Qing Ping Gong Temple. The method used in this activity was descriptive qualitative with a community service approach. The results show that the educational tourism program was able to improve participants’ understanding of Chinese cultural values, particularly those related to symbolism, philosophy, and ritual practices found at Taokwan Qing Ping Gong. In addition, this activity provided students with contextual learning experiences through an experiential learning approach. This program has the potential to become an innovative culture-based learning model through direct visits, while also strengthening collaboration between higher education institutions and the community in preserving local culture, particularly temples in Makassar City.

Abstract

Intensive summer language courses offer an accelerated path for academic progression, yet they require substantial temporal sacrifices from students who must study during their official holidays. This study investigated the learning motivation dynamics and psychological experiences of EFL students navigating a high-density, daily summer English program at an Indonesian university. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study design, data were gathered through individual, one-on-one semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected university students (n = 5). The individual interview records were compiled into complete verbatim transcripts and analyzed using a descriptive narrative approach. The findings revealed that although students experienced initial emotional friction, including laziness, nervousness, and social media jealousy, they successfully maintained their learning focus. Their academic endurance was heavily driven by clear extrinsic goals, such as securing grades, finishing credit requirements, and ensuring timely graduation. Furthermore, a supportive classroom environment, highly interactive teaching styles, and smaller class sizes effectively transformed the potential stress of a fast-paced schedule into a positive tool for focused learning. This study implies that the success of intensive programs relies heavily on instructors maintaining empathetic, high-engagement pedagogy to mitigate student mental fatigue.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the levels of vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension achievement among ninth-grade students at SMPN 2 Airmadidi, North Sulawesi, and to determine whether a significant correlation exists between these two linguistic variables. Utilizing a quantitative correlational research design, a sample of 32 students was selected from the population. Data were gathered through two distinct instruments adapted from the official grade IX English textbook Bright an English: a vocabulary mastery test focusing on word classes and meanings, and a reading comprehension test evaluating main idea identification, literal comprehension, and contextual vocabulary inference. To ensure data integrity, an initial pilot study was conducted to analyze instrument validity and reliability. The empirical results indicate that students with higher levels of vocabulary mastery consistently demonstrate stronger reading comprehension capabilities. The data reject the null hypothesis (Ho), confirming a positive, meaningful connection where expansive vocabulary knowledge functions as a critical determinant of textual comprehension success. The pedagogical implications suggest that English teachers should implement explicit vocabulary enhancement strategies to systematically scaffold students' secondary reading achievements.

Abstract

English proficiency is increasingly important in health administration, particularly for supporting administrative tasks such as documentation, correspondence, reporting, scheduling, and professional coordination. However, English instruction in health administration programs often focuses on General English rather than the specific language needs required in healthcare administrative contexts. This study aimed to analyze the English language needs and difficulties of fifth-semester students in the Health Administration Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang in relation to administrative tasks. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a Likert-scale format, covering four English language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The participants consisted of six fifth-semester students, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies and percentages. The findings showed that students generally expressed neutral perceptions regarding both their English language needs and difficulties across the four skills. This indicates limited exposure to authentic administrative tasks requiring English use. Nevertheless, reading and writing were perceived as relatively more relevant, especially for understanding administrative documents, written procedures, reports, and formal correspondence. Writing tasks also showed slightly higher indications of difficulty compared to other skills. These findings suggest that English for Specific Purposes instruction in health administration should be more context-based and aligned with real administrative tasks to better prepare students for future professional roles.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine whether the implementation of the Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) strategy could improve the reading comprehension of tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Dampal Selatan. The main problems faced by the students were their difficulty in understanding English reading texts and their lack of attention to punctuation while reading. These problems affected their confidence and comprehension during reading activities. Therefore, the researcher implemented the Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) strategy to help students pay more attention to punctuation and understand the content of English reading texts more effectively. This research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the research were two classes: class X TKJ A as the experimental class, consisting of 22 students, and class X TKJ B as the control class, consisting of 20 students. Before the treatment was conducted, both classes were given a pre-test to measure their initial reading comprehension. The treatment was carried out in eight meetings using reading texts. After the treatment, a post-test was administered to measure the students’ improvement. The data were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test through the SPSS program. The results showed that the mean score of the experimental class increased from 54.17 to 65.70, while the mean score of the control class increased from 49.67 to 60.37. The t-test value was 2.364, which was higher than the t-table value of 2.021. This indicated that the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) strategy was effective in improving students’ reading comprehension at SMK Negeri 1 Dampal Selatan.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the types of figurative language found in selected songs from Taylor Swift’s Lover album and to interpret their meanings, as well as examine how these figurative languages contribute to English learning. The study focuses on three songs, Cruel Summer, The Archer, and Death by a Thousand Cuts, and applies the theories of Siswantoro (2002), Leech (1981), and Krashen (1982).Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through document analysis and open ended questions. The results identified seven types of figurative language: metaphor, symbol, hyperbole, personification, simile, paradox, and synecdoche. Metaphor and symbol were the most frequently used types, followed by hyperbole, personification, simile, paradox, and synecdoche. These figurative expressions conveyed abstract emotional experiences such as heartbreak, longing, vulnerability, and self-reflection. The findings also show that analyzing figurative language through song lyrics supports English learning by providing meaningful input, enriching vocabulary, and fostering interpretative thinking. The use of authentic materials such as songs creates an affective learning environment that aligns with Krashen’s Second Language Acquisition theory, particularly the Input Hypothesis and Affective Filter Hypothesis.In conclusion, integrating figurative language analysis through song offers both linguistic and emotional value, making song lyrics a meaningful and engaging medium in the context of English learning.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of television viewing, specifically through the FTV film Suara Hati Istri, on married women in the community of RT 2/RW 3 Ujungbatu, focusing on changes in the way wives treat their husbands. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing observation as a method to enrich the data collection process. The data analysis is conducted using Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis framework, which encompasses three dimensions: Text, Discourse Practice, and Sociocultural Practice. The findings indicate that the viewing activity of wives has significantly increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to changes in their attitudes and behaviors towards their husbands. The influence of the film, as reflected in the discourse and sociocultural context, has contributed to these shifts, with the content of the film reinforcing certain perceptions about marital dynamics, often portraying the wife as a victim and the husband as the source of domestic conflicts. This study highlights the role of media in shaping domestic relationships and the ideological influence exerted through television programs.
