Abstract

ABSTRACT Technology plays a crucial role in strengthening EFL learners’ writing proficiency levels. As multifaceted feedback provisions are constantly addressed, the long-term nurturance of writing competencies growth can be ensured. This small-scale library study employed a thematic analysis while reviewing some significant findings of 30 previously published studies of QuillBot application benefits in empowering EFL learners’ writing skills development. The researcher capitalized on a thematic analysis approach to yield more accurate, believable, and relatable data as each prior finding was categorized into some major identical themes. The thematically-subsumed findings suggested that second language educators commence their regular writing learning enterprises with the meaningful internalization of the QuillBot application, in which EFL learners can transform into more positive and skillful writers. Keywords: Technology; QuillBot; EFL learners; library study; thematic analysis

Abstract

This study examined how well Luca cartoons work to enhance the oral skills of elementary school students, paying special attention to vocabulary and pronunciation. The event took place at a Sidoarjo-based private Islamic elementary school. A mixed method approach including quantitative and qualitative data was used in this investigation. Twenty-five second-graders took part in the study, which used Luca cartoons as a teaching tool for eight treatment sessions. While observations evaluated motivation, engagement, listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, emotional reactions, interactions, and follow-up activities, pre-tests and post-tests evaluated vocabulary and pronunciation progress. Both vocabulary (from a mean score of 5.56 before the test to a mean score of 8.26 after the exam) and pronunciation (from a mean score of 5.16 before the test to a mean score of 7.82 after the test) shown notable increases, according to the results. Approximately 91% of the pupils engaged in active participation and shown desire and curiosity. The majority of kids demonstrated strong listening comprehension, picked up new vocabulary, and expressed interest in words they were unfamiliar with. Positive emotional responses made studying English more enjoyable. The students' enthusiastic participation and application of the English expressions they had learnt from the video were demonstrated by the post-film discussion. Although the terminology was not consistently transferred to other settings, the follow-up exercises successfully improved memory and summary abilities. According to the study's findings, adding Luca cartoons to the curriculum can make learning more fun and efficient while also greatly enhancing students' motivation, engagement, and speaking abilities. Thus, it's critical to keep considering individual characteristics when creating new teaching methods to guarantee that every student gains an equal advantage.

Abstract

This current research aims to analyze how Project-Based Learning (PBL) improves students’ skills in analyzing and designing literacy models that support intercultural communication. It employed a descriptive qualitative approach, which integrated observation method and content analysis. In this current research, a combined method reconciles an axiological-oriented observation method with an ontological-oriented content analysis method (visual media product and result report). This approach focuses on acceptance, anticipation, dialogical exchanges, and dialectical diversity in the investigation. The findings show that PBL supports students’ abilities for distinguishing, organizing, attribution, inventory, ideation, and visual creativity. In conclusion, PBL enhances students' abilities to analyze and develop literacy models that facilitate intercultural communication by creating opportunity to connect concepts with the reality, participating in field research, fostering soft skill and hard skill, integrating knowledge from various disciplines.

Abstract

To date, studies on literacy programs in Indonesia have been ubiquitously conducted. However, little effort has been made to investigate junior high school students’ attitudes toward the implementation of online literacy programs as part of School Literacy Movement in the Indonesian context. Thus, to fill in the gap, this study aimed to investigate students’ attitudes towards the implementation of the Online Literacy Program in the Junior High Public School (JHPS) 1 Central Java as a program to promote School Literacy Movement and prepare the students to face Minimum Competency Assessment along with some challenges faced by the students as factors that might negatively impact their attitudes. To achieve the aforementioned aims, a mixed-method design was employed in this research. A questionnaire encompassing closed and open-ended questions was administered as the data gathering technique to provide triangulation and increase the validity and reliability of the research. Two main findings were drawn from this study. First, the participants showed a positive attitude towards the implementation of the program which is reflected in the two components of attitude namely, affective and cognitive domains. Secondly, despite the positive results, some challenges such as technical disruption and reading comprehension difficulty were still present during the program implementation. Two main recommendations were suggested to help the teachers improve the future program, namely (1) exploring broader topics and (2) providing more visual aids.

Abstract

This Study explores the integration of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) with the Netflix movie Enola Holmes (2020), focusing on its relevance and implications for EFL educational contexts. Based on SEL's five core competencies as defined by CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning), including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. The study applied a qualitative descriptive design, with thematic content analysis, to examine how the SEL competencies are seen in the film’s main character, Enola Holmes, throughout the narrative. Using the film and its script as primary data sources, key scenes and dialogues were coded and analysed to identify SEL indicators. The findings reveal that Enola Holmes, as the main character, constantly expresses the five core components of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) through her collaborative skills, moral reasoning, and independent decision-making. Therefore, the study suggests that integrating popular media like Enola Holmes into educational settings can enhance the delivery of SEL core competencies, specifically with regard to the implications in educational settings by offering a contextually meaningful, relatable, and engaging medium for students. The study contributes to the limited body of research that connects SEL and film analysis, emphasizing the value of visual storytelling in the educational environment. It highlights how popular media can be harnessed to cultivate emotional intelligence and character development in classroom settings.
