Abstract

This research determined the relationship between texting habits and spelling competency among second-year BSEd English major students. The study employed a quantitative research design to gather data. The researchers created a questionnaire specifically related to texting habits and an adapted Civil Service questionnaire to measure spelling competency. Results showed that students exhibited a high frequency of texting, but displayed below-average spelling competencies. For future research, it is recommended to use a combined quantitative and qualitative design to gain deeper insights into students' opinions, attitudes, and practices regarding texting and spelling. Additionally, future studies should consider including participants from various other courses, not just English majors, to broaden the scope of the research.

Abstract

Many parents in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context such as Indonesia might have held to the belief of the golden age for learning language, as evidenced by the proliferation of the so-called international preschools in which subjects are taught in English or Chinese. In the realm of language acquisition, this the younger the better belief is still debatable among the scholars in the field, with some demonstrating the success of childrens early exposure to foreign languages and others who dismissed it as a myth. Thus, this brief article set out to view the debate under the lens of philosophy, particularly that of Poppers pseudoscience perspective in order to decide whether early childhood bilingualism is pseudoscientific or an evidence-based practice. The article concludes that it might be too early to call early childhood bilingualism a myth, and proposes practical recommendations for parents with young children.

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to explore the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile contained in the film entitled “Jembatan Pensil” by Hasto Broto. The method of the research is discourse analysis, which refers to converting spoken language into written language, transcribing data, and presenting the results. Then, the results show that this film is appropriate and suitable to be used as learning media for the audience, especially for young learners. Furthermore, it is expected that the Pancasila Student Profiles can be applied in students' everyday lives both at school and outside school. In this study, researchers conclude that the Jembatan Pensil film is a medium that can be taken into consideration as a learning medium in the form of literature as another means of implementing the Pancasila Student Profile while utilizing technological developments and becoming an increasingly varied learning strategy.
