Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the effectiveness of using Duolingo as a foreign language learning platform for first semester English education students. The researcher identified the extent to which Duolingo app is effective in assisting foreign language learning and evaluated how effective the app is in assisting students in foreign language learning. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, and data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and interviews with second-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang. The findings show that most students have a positive perception of Duolingo. They found the app easy to use, interesting, and helpful in understanding and memorizing vocabulary. Features such as repetition, daily reminders, and interactive design were found to increase learning motivation and student engagement. However, Duolingo's effectiveness in a structured classroom setting was considered neutral due to limitations in its integration into formal teaching methods. Overall, Duolingo is considered an effective tool for self-directed English vocabulary learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the English learning needs from the perspectives of students and teachers at SMKN 1 Dampal Selatan, MA Al-Ittihad DDI Soni, and SMA Negeri 1 Dampal Selatan. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using data collected through questionnaires distributed to students and interviews conducted with English teachers. The focus of this study includes academic needs such as mastery of the four main English skills, and non-academic needs like motivation, environmental support, and self-confidence, as well as perceptions regarding the use of technology in learning. The results indicate a significant gap between students’ and teachers’ expectations. Students tend to prefer practical, technology-based, and work-oriented materials, while teachers emphasize grammar mastery, basic language skills, and the need for adequate learning media. Additionally, students expressed difficulties in vocabulary acquisition and low confidence in speaking, whereas teachers stressed the importance of enhancing motivation and learning facilities. These findings highlight the necessity to adjust curricula and teaching methods to better align with students’ real-world needs and support more effective English learning.

Abstract

This study titled Bugis Language Interference in the Construction of Indonesian Language Usage. Given the importance of an effective communication process in language learning, we still often encounter language errors in Indonesian interactions between students in the academic sphere. This is caused by students' bilingual ability, which is influenced using the first language or mother tongue. This study aims to describe Bugis language interference that affects the use of Indonesian. The study method used descriptive qualitative. Data were collected through direct dialog with students with recording and note-taking techniques through observation during the learning process. The results showed that students of Indonesian Language Education Study Program in Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang tended to mix Bugis language when communicating using Indonesian, even in formal situations.

Abstract

The integration of communication processes occurs when conventional and digital communication patterns are used simultaneously, allowing communication activities to take place both face-to-face and through mediated channels. This condition has become increasingly relevant as the need for health information grows more dynamic and is obtained from diverse sources. This study aims to analyze the direct effect of information sources on learning factors and the effectiveness of health communication, the direct effect of learning factors on the effectiveness of health communication, and the indirect effect of information sources on the effectiveness of health communication through learning factors. The main concepts examined in this study include information sources, learning factors, and health communication effectiveness. This research employed an explanatory quantitative approach involving 97 students from Grade X and XI at SMA Sejahtera 1 Depok City. Data were collected through a survey using a Google Form questionnaire and analyzed using multivariate analysis. The results indicate that information sources have a direct and significant effect on both learning factors and the effectiveness of health communication. Learning factors also have a direct and significant effect on the effectiveness of health communication. However, learning factors do not mediate the relationship between information sources and health communication effectiveness. Future studies are recommended to involve a larger sample size and adopt a mixed-methods approach to allow for comparative analysis, such as multi-group analysis.

Abstract

One important effort in developing character education based on local wisdom is the rediscovery and exploration of folktales that are scattered and preserved among ethnic groups throughout the Indonesian archipelago. The Bugis ethnic group is one of the communities that possesses a rich collection of folktales. Bugis folktales are traditional literary works born from the spiritual experiences and imagination of their creators. Nevertheless, these stories have also played a significant role in shaping the life journey of the Bugis people and humanity in general. More importantly, Bugis folktales are not merely traditional literary works but also serve as a source of moral teachings. Moral values such as honesty, perseverance, obedience, mutual respect and appreciation, mutual reminder, compassion, patience, and others can be found in various folktales. These moral messages have the potential to serve as references for character formation within the Bugis community and even for national character development. This study is expected to be beneficial for both the Bugis ethnic community and Indonesian society in general, particularly in the context of character formation based on local wisdom. Revealing the meanings and values embedded in each folktale is expected to contribute significantly to the development of character education.

Abstract

Local wisdom is understood as local policy (local wisdom), local knowledge (local knowledge), or local intelligence (local genius). It may be interpreted as the product of human intellect, deep feelings, character, behavioral patterns, and moral guidance aimed at achieving human dignity. Mastery of local wisdom elevates individuals toward noble character. The concept of local wisdom held by the Selayar community is partially implemented in dideq oral texts. These concepts need to be documented, revitalized, and disseminated so that they continue to live within the community to which they belong and become part of individual character formation not only for the Selayar people, but also for the wider community of South Sulawesi and Indonesian society in general. This study aims to reveal concepts of local wisdom, particularly the attitudes of sipakatau, sipakaingaq, and sipakalabbiriq found in dideqoral literature. The primary data were collected through field research using recording, interviews, transliteration, and translation techniques. Data analysis was conducted based on Roland Barthes’ concepts of denotative and connotative meaning. The results of the study indicate that sipakatau and sipakalabbiriq are two inseparable values. Mutual respect and mutual appreciation coexist and strongly characterize the life of the Selayar community, as clearly reflected in dideq texts. Meanwhile, sipakaingaq represents an attitude of mutual reminder among community members, manifested in behavior, speech, and religious observance.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students’ understanding of the Makassar local language among eighth-grade students at SMP Telkom Makassar. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of seven Grade VIII classes involving 183 students. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test administered before and after the instructional intervention. Data were analyzed descriptively and using normalized gain (g) based on Hake’s formula. The results show that the average pre-test scores ranged from 35.58 to 43.27 and increased to 62.24–83.52 in the post-test. The g-Hake analysis indicates that six classes achieved a medium improvement category (g = 0.342–0.557), while one class reached a high category (g = 0.734), with an overall weighted g of 0.513. These findings indicate that Makassar language instruction is effective in improving students’ understanding and has potential to strengthen linguistic competence and preserve local culture in schools.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Window-Shopping Bag method in improving students’ English vocabulary mastery. Conducted at SMAN 1 Fef, the research used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 7 tenth-grade students selected from an original population of 19 students, chosen based on consistent attendance and willingness to participate. All participants had very limited English proficiency and struggled to recognize even basic vocabulary. The research involved a pretest to assess initial vocabulary knowledge, followed by treatment sessions using the Window-Shopping Bag method, which engaged students in interactive, contextual learning through simulated shopping activities with labeled items and role-play. A posttest was administered to evaluate vocabulary improvement. The results showed a significant increase in scores, with the average pretest score at 42.86 and the posttest average rising to 72.16. The N-Gain score was 0.51, which falls into the medium category. According to the decision rule, since the N-Gain score is greater than 0.3, the null hypothesis is rejected, indicating that the Window-Shopping Bag method is effective in enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery. The method proved to be suitable for small groups with low proficiency, especially in remote areas with limited learning resources. It is recommended that future research involve a larger sample size and a longer period of implementation to better understand the method’s long-term impact.

Abstract

This study examines Cenning Rara, a sacred oral tradition in Buginese culture, through an anthropolinguistic perspective. Unlike narrative folklore, Cenning Rara functions as a ritual speech performance recited in bridal preparations and personal adornment contexts, where language is believed to possess spiritual efficacy. This research aims to analyze the linguistic structure, figurative expressions, and indexical meanings embedded in selected Cenning Rara texts. The data were analyzed using morphemic segmentation, parts-of-speech identification, literal and free translation comparison, and interpretation of figurative language based on Perrine’s classification. In addition, indexicality and symbolic functions were examined to understand how meaning operates within ritual performance. The findings reveal that Cenning Rara employs metaphor, hyperbole, symbolism, and celestial imagery to construct ideals of beauty, loyalty, and spiritual purity. Linguistically, reduplication, affixation, and rhythmic repetition reinforce its poetic and performative qualities. Indexically, the ritual speech points to social identity, gender ideology, moral values (siri’, lempu’, pesse), and spiritual mediation between the physical and metaphysical realms. The study demonstrates that Cenning Rara is not merely aesthetic language but a performative act that sustains cultural continuity and reinforces Bugis cosmology. This research contributes to anthropolinguistic studies by highlighting how ritual language functions as both cultural resource and social action in contemporary Bugis society.
