Abstract

This study explored students’ perceptions of English learning at SMAN 1 Sidrap and examined how those perceptions shaped their English-speaking confidence. A qualitative descriptive design was employed. Thirteen eleventh-grade students were selected through purposive sampling because they had participated in varied classroom speaking activities and represented different confidence levels. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observation, supported by a speaking-confidence scale, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña: data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Trustworthiness was established through credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The findings showed that most students perceived English as useful for further study, employment, and international communication. Discussions, presentations, role plays, speeches, drama, and group work were viewed as meaningful opportunities to practice English and strengthen confidence. Positive feedback from teachers, peer encouragement, and a non-threatening classroom atmosphere increased students’ willingness to communicate and classroom participation. Nevertheless, anxiety, fear of mistakes, limited vocabulary, and pronunciation difficulties still reduced confidence among some students. The study concludes that positive perceptions of English learning support higher speaking confidence by increasing motivation, lowering the affective filter, and strengthening students’ beliefs in their own ability. Teachers should therefore design interactive, supportive, and progressively challenging speaking activities.

Abstract

This study investigated the implementation and role of collaborative learning in developing students’ writing skills at English House Language Center. A qualitative case study design was employed to obtain an in-depth understanding of classroom practices and students’ experiences during collaborative writing activities. The participants were six eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling based on their active involvement and varied writing proficiency. Data were collected through non-participant classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of students’ written work. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings revealed that collaborative learning was implemented through small-group discussion, idea sharing, joint sentence and text construction, and peer feedback. These activities encouraged active participation and meaningful interaction throughout the stages of planning, drafting, revising, and editing. Collaboration helped students generate richer ideas, organize texts more systematically, and improve language use, particularly grammar and vocabulary. It also increased motivation, confidence, engagement, and enjoyment, although differences of opinion and unequal participation occasionally required teacher facilitation. The study concludes that collaborative learning is an effective instructional approach for supporting the cognitive, linguistic, affective, and social dimensions of writing development in a non-formal EFL context. Teachers are encouraged to establish clear group roles, provide structured writing tasks, and guide constructive peer feedback.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the experiences of students in balancing their academic responsibilities with their active involvement in a campus organization, specifically MAPALA UMKT (Mahasiswa Pecinta Alam Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur). As student organizations offer valuable opportunities for personal growth, leadership development, and social engagement, they may also present challenges in managing time and maintaining academic motivation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to understand how students experience, navigate, and reflect on these dual roles. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with selected MAPALA UMKT members from different cohorts, academic levels, and organizational roles. The results revealed that while organizational involvement can become a source of time pressure and academic stress, it also fosters essential skills such as time management, self-discipline, and problem-solving, which in turn contribute positively to academic motivation. Students' ability to maintain balance often depends on their level of self-regulation, social support, and commitment to both domains. This study highlights the complex yet meaningful relationship between organizational engagement and academic life, offering insights for universities, student organizations, and students themselves in building better support systems and fostering holistic student development.

Abstract

In recent years—and even dating back to the 1970s and 1980s—the Indonesian horror film genre has consistently drawn large audiences to theaters. Conceptually, this study examines this phenomenon by employing Max Horkheimer’s theory of rational and irrational dialectics, Jean Baudrillard’s concept of simulacrum, and Textual Analysis applied to horror film posters and narratives from the 1970s to the 2000s, alongside select Asian horror films that resonate with audiences. The rational and irrational dialectic emerges prominently in Indonesian horror films, as viewers grapple with the interplay between reality and the supernatural depicted in posters and narratives that serve as simulacra, ultimately becoming modern myths. Philosophically, this dialectic presents a dilemma where humans navigate rationality and irrationality in attempting to dismiss mythological elements. Simulacrum, in this context, represents a duplication without an original, blurring the line between the copy and the real. Textual Analysis, rooted in media and cultural studies, is employed here as a methodology for examining texts that contain meaningful signs. Most Indonesian horror film posters and narratives feature terrifying creatures without real-world references. As a result, despite a dip in popularity during the 1990s, horror films from the 1970s through the 2000s have frequently achieved high viewership, especially those based on legendary tales familiar to audiences. These recurring themes, perpetuated through film posters and narratives, are further reinforced by makeup, animation techniques, and CGI (Computer Generated Imagery), all of which bring the horror elements to life.

Abstract

The Indonesian film industry has shown significant development in recent years, particularly in terms of genre diversification and technical quality. One major achievement in this sector is the success of the animated film JUMBO (2025), which became the third highest-grossing Indonesian film of all time, with over 7 million viewers. This success reflects a major shift in Indonesian audience preferences toward local animated films, which were previously often considered less popular. JUMBO not only offers entertainment but also presents a strong and emotional narrative, along with relevant Indonesian social and cultural values. This study aims to examine JUMBO as a manifestation of a new paradigm in Indonesian cinema, focusing on its narrative approach, technical and visual aspects, as well as the digital communication strategies used to market the film. In addition, audience responses to the film are analyzed to understand its impact on public perception of local animated films. The research uses a qualitative approach, including content analysis of the film and a study of social media use in its marketing strategy. JUMBO not only provides visual entertainment but also conveys universal values such as struggle, family, and hope, making it both relevant and emotionally resonant for viewers. The findings show that JUMBO has successfully reshaped audience expectations regarding the quality of local films and opened new opportunities for the development of the animation genre in Indonesia. The film’s success highlights the great potential for the Indonesian animated film industry to grow further and be embraced by both local and international audiences.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as an approach for improving English language proficiency among high school students in Bener Meriah, Aceh, Indonesia. Leveraging the local identity and reputation of Bener Meriah as a leading coffee producer region, this study proposed a coffee-themed curriculum to be integrated in English learning with culturally relevant content. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines to explore the implementation of CLIL in high school EFL contexts. Using Google Scholar, an initial boolean search identified 87 articles published between 2020 and 2024. Through inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 relevant studies were selected for final analysis. The findings reveal that (i) CLIL promotes language acquisition, contextual learning, and student motivation. However, (ii) challenges such as resource constraints, teacher training needs, and implementation costs must be addressed. Based on these findings, this article offers recommendations for CLIL integration and highlights its implications for education and economic development in EFL contexts, particularly Bener Meriah, where coffee farming is a primary source of livelihood.
