Abstract

The utilization of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) based learning media has become a significant factor in enhancing the usefulness and efficiency of the learning process. The objective of this research is to develop R-SIDE applications and to test the usefulness of it for use by senior high school students. The researchers employed the research and development (R&D) method. This method comprises five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The data were collected using two instruments: observation and questionnaire. Prior to implementation, the R-SIDE applications were validated by four experts, comprising two material experts and two media experts. The material expert validators indicated a level of agreement with the items in the "Agree" category, with a mean score of 80.00. Moreover, the media expert validators provided scores of 78 in the "Agree" category and 91.7 in the "Strongly Agree" category. A trial implementation was conducted on 25 students at MAAl Ihsan Tembelang Jombang, with the results of the questionnaires indicating an average score of 85.5, classified as "very good." Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the R-SIDE application is a viable method for engaging students in English learning, particularly in the context of reading skills.

Abstract

TOEIC is one of the tests that is used in many universities and according to the director's decree at the Alkon Kalimantan polytechnic campus, the graduation requirements for students who will take the final exam and oral defense must obtain a minimum score of 500. The institution that conducts the test independently is International Testing The program or ITP appointed as the program supervisor for testing on our campus. To make graduates exceed the minimum standard competency score, we hold preparation classes. We held it for a month with a total of 12 meetings. With this minimum standard for graduation, it is hoped that it can become a benchmark so that graduates are expected to have adequate English language skills. By holding preparation classes, it is hoped that when facing tests held by other institutions or official institutions that is appointed, all graduates will be able to exceed a score above 500. This study used qualitative method in which to find out students' preparation when taking the TOEIC test using books and audio that are available and sold in the bookstore market, to find out whether with this preparation their scores can increase as expected. The results of the research show that the scores of students who will be graduating have increased drastically compared to the previous year, where in the previous year there were several students who failed and after this activity was held, the number of students failing to achieve a minimum score of 500 could be reduced.

Abstract

This study examines strategies to increase English language acceptance in Indonesian universities, considering the importance of English proficiency in the global academic context. Through a qualitative approach with a literature study method, this study analyzes various literature and previous research results to identify challenges and solutions in increasing English acceptance. The results show that the English language acceptance rate among students is still not optimal, with the main obstacles being high language anxiety and low intrinsic motivation. Factors that affect English language acceptance include psychological aspects such as self-efficacy and anxiety, as well as external factors such as the quality of the learning environment and institutional support. This research proposes a comprehensive development strategy that integrates modern pedagogical approaches, such as project-based learning and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), with the support of learning technology. Mentoring programs and peer support groups have proven to be effective in creating a supportive learning environment. The evaluation of the implementation of the strategy showed a gradual increase in English language acceptance, characterized by a decrease in the level of language anxiety and an increase in student participation in learning activities. These findings make a significant contribution to the development of English learning programs in higher education that are more effective and sustainable.

Abstract

The aims of the current research are threefold. First, it aimed to find out the motivations of students in Islamic education programs to choose an EMI program. Secondly, it was conducted to reveal the student satisfaction with the EMI program. Third, it sought to explore the difficulties or challenges perceived by students in the EMI program. This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach, surveying 22 students from an international class at an Islamic state university in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. The results revealed that students were mainly motivated by the need to access international publications, improve English proficiency, and enhance career prospects. Most participants felt that the program offered positive challenges, boosted motivation, and improved their vocabulary related to their courses. Additionally, many students expressed satisfaction with their lecturers' spoken English and the simplified content delivered in English. In terms of challenges, nearly half of the students reported difficulties in understanding lectures and course contents. Other challenges included writing notes and following peer discussions. These insights highlight the need for targeted support and instructional strategies to address the linguistic demands of EMI programs in the Indonesian Islamic higher education context.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is a crucial skill in language learning,. But many students continue to struggle with understanding spoken information due to cognitive overload, difficulty identifying key points, and ineffective note-taking strategies. A preliminary observation in Class XI D at MAN 2 Jember revealed that students faced significant challenges in listening tasks, as shown by their low average pre-test score of 52.5. These difficulties highlighted the urgent need for targeted instructional strategies like Classroom Action Reserach to support their listening development. This classroom action research (CAR) was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of sentence and abbreviation note-taking techniques in improving students' listening comprehension. Implemented over two cycles involving planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages, the study demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ performance, with the average score rising to 75.9 in Cycle 2, surpassing the success criterion of 70. The findings suggest that structured note-taking techniques enhance students’ ability to extract key information and reduce cognitive overload. By addressing challenges such as classroom arrangement, phonological interference, and divided attention, the study provides practical insights for teachers seeking to improve students' listening skills through effective note-taking strategies.

Abstract

Trauma is a psychological disorder that can impact the dynamics of connections between generations and is emotionally inherited in generations.  Individual and intergenerational trauma is the primary themes that drive conflict within the Madrigal family in the animated film “Encanto”. This study examines the recovery processes portrayed in the movie and determines the psychological effects of trauma on individuals and their families using Caruth's trauma theory and Hirsch's intergenerational trauma theory. The method used is descriptive in which the researchers collect data through film observation, theoretical studies, and analysis of scenes and dialog that depict trauma and the recovery process. The findings demonstrated how Abuela's character's trauma from her husband's death led to psychological distress and heightened standards within the Madrigal family, which in turn affected other family members. This dynamic serves as an example of the trauma cycle that does not only causes people to become isolated but also prevents their ability to develop personally within the family context. The movie portrays a process of recovery that enables family members to go from feeling alienated to feeling united through admissions and shared memories.

Abstract

This study examines the lyrics of the song "Kupu-Kupu Malam" by Titiek Puspa through the lens of Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory. By analyzing the song’s lyrics as a system of signs composed of signifiers and signifieds, the research explores how meaning is constructed and how the song reflects the social realities of marginalized women, particularly those engaged in nighttime professions. Data was collected through textual transcription and close reading of the song lyrics.Through qualitative descriptive analysis, the study interprets symbolic elements such as "night butterfly," "smiling through tears," and "black blood" to uncover themes of gender inequality, societal judgment, and emotional duality. The analysis further incorporates paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships within the lyrics to understand how their structure contributes to broader socio-cultural critiques. The findings reveal that "Kupu-Kupu Malam" not only portrays the complex lives of women stigmatized by society but also serves as a poignant commentary on the tension between personal identity and restrictive social norms. This study demonstrates the relevance of semiotic analysis in uncovering the layered meanings embedded in cultural texts, emphasizing empathy and critical reflection toward social issues that persist in both past and present contexts.

Abstract

Bilingualism and multilingualism are closely related to these language phenomena i.e. code switching and code mixing. Recently, bilingualism and multilingualism are also linked to translingualism This study explores the use of code switching and code mixing among Thai students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember in Indonesia, examining their types and underlying causes.. The research, conducted from September 2024 to February 2025, utilized a qualitative descriptive method, gathering data through audio recordings, interviews, and observations. The findings revealed three types of code switching: tag-switching (50%), intra-sentential (40%), and inter-sentential (10%). Similarly, three types of code mixing were identified: alternation (52%), insertion (41.5%), and congruent lexicalization (6%). The study also found that factors such as language proficiency, academic year, social environment, communicative intent, and emotional factors influenced students' language practices. Older cohorts tended to use more Indonesian and English, while newer students relied more on Thai and Malay. The study concludes that code switching and code mixing serve as adaptive strategies for Thai students to navigate their multilingual environment, improve communication, and express their identity. These findings contribute to understanding multilingual practices among international students and support the integration of translanguaging pedagogies in multicultural educational settings.
