Abstract

Contrastive analysis and error analysis in understanding the challenges faced by Indonesian students in learning English. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes data on errors made by students in the use of tenses , vocabulary, and pronunciation, which are influenced by interference from Indonesian. Data were collected through English tests and interviews with students, then analyzed using the contrastive and error analysis framework. The results show that the main difficulties faced by students lie in the differences in tense structures , errors in vocabulary selection, and pronunciation difficulties influenced by the phonetic habits of Indonesian. This study suggests that English teaching needs to focus more on the structural differences between the two languages and provide intensive practice to correct frequent errors..

Abstract

It is important for educators to be creative and innovative in implementing the learning process in order to support aspects of children's development. One of them is the ability to think symbolically. The symbolic thinking ability of early childhood needs to get the right stimulation so that it can develop optimally. This study aims to determine the symbolic thinking ability before and after the application of the Example Non-Example learning model in improving children's symbolic thinking ability. This learning method prioritizes the use of concrete and non-concrete examples to help children understand symbolic concepts better. The type of research used is Classroom Action Research by implementing 2 cycles and each cycle consists of 4 stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques use observation and documentation methods. Analysis of the results of symbolic thinking abilities is carried out quantitatively. The results of the analysis show that the percentage of completeness of children's symbolic thinking abilities in the initial observation was 41.67% in Cycle I reaching 70.83% and Cycle II increasing to 91.7% These results indicate that the application of the Example Non Example learning model can improve symbolic thinking abilities in children in Group B1 of Dewi Kunti II Dalung Kindergarten.

Abstract

Visual-spatial ability is one of the important aspects in the cognitive development of early childhood, which plays a role in understanding shape, size, position, and spatial relationships. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) learning model on the visual-spatial abilities of early childhood. The TGT learning model was chosen because it is based on group games that require children to collaborate, solve problems, and hone visual-spatial skills through media such as puzzles, blocks, sizes, and directions. This research is an experimental research, namely Quasi experimental design. The design used is Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. Data collection using observation, interview and documentation methods. The subjects of this study were Group B of Satya Dharma Kindergarten consisting of control class and experimental class. The data analysis results show tcount = 2.323 while at a significance level of 5% with dk = 50 the ttable value is 1.676 so that tcount 2.323> ttable 1.676. It can be seen that tcount> ttable, namely 2.323> 1.676 which means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Based on the results of the t-test calculation, it shows that the Team Games Tournament game model can improve the visual spatial abilities of early childhood.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of the TOEFL test and the relevant factors influencing their English proficiency. The TOEFL test has become a mandatory component in many Indonesian higher education institutions and is widely required in professional sectors. Using a qualitative approach, the research involved undergraduate students from a privately funded university who had completed a TOEFL course. Data were collected through written interviews to ensure authenticity and minimize researcher influence. The findings reveal that students acknowledge the importance of TOEFL for academic and employment opportunities. However, many perceive the official TOEFL test as financially burdensome and question its ability to fully reflect their English capabilities, particularly for those who acquired English informally. Students also emphasized the need for more practical language skills, such as oral communication, in addition to test preparation. The study concludes that English instruction should align with students’ future career needs while maintaining the validity of standardized assessment tools.

Abstract

This research analyzes the lexical and contextual meanings found in selected song lyrics from the album The Off-Season by J. Cole. The purpose of this study is to analyze how language is used by artists to convey deeper meanings, emotions, and social commentary through dictionary-based definitions (lexical meaning) and meanings derived from context (contextual meaning). This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on several songs that contain rich linguistic and cultural content. This research found 53 lyric lines that contain lexical and contextual meaning in the whole album The Off-Season by J. Cole. The results of the analysis show that J. Cole often uses figurative language, slang, metaphors, and culturally embedded expressions to deliver messages about identity, struggle, success, and social issues. The findings suggest that understanding lexical and contextual meanings is crucial to interpreting the depth and intent of J. Cole's lyrics. This research aims to contribute to the wider field of linguistics, particularly in the areas of semantics and discourse analysis in music and popular culture.

Abstract

Resilience in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education has become an essential attribute for students in tertiary institutions. Resilience is essential for students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education due to the challenging nature of these fields. It enables students to persist through difficult coursework, handle academic pressure, and overcome failures, ultimately leading to academic success. Promoting resilience helps students manage stress, maintain mental health, and engage with complex STEM concepts. With the increasing complexity and challenges of STEM subjects, students often face academic, emotional, and psychological difficulties that can hinder their success. This paper advocates for promoting resilience among students in STEM disciplines by exploring strategies to enhance their ability to adapt, overcome challenges, and maintain motivation. The discussion focuses on the importance of resilience, challenges in STEM education, and strategies for fostering a resilient mindset among students. Key recommendations for fostering resilience in STEM students include promoting a growth mindset, incorporating mentorship programs, and encouraging collaborative learning. Growth mindset initiatives help students view challenges as learning opportunities, while mentorship provides guidance and emotional support. Collaborative learning reduces isolation and promotes teamwork, which boosts resilience. Additionally, institutions should provide mental health resources, support underrepresented groups in STEM, and integrate real-world applications into the curriculum. Flexible assessment methods that allow students to learn from mistakes are also important, as they encourage a positive attitude toward failure. By creating a culture of resilience through policies and leadership, tertiary institutions can equip students with the skills they need to succeed academically and in their future STEM careers.
