Abstract

The vocabulary mastery of students at SMP Negeri 1 Blangpidie remains poor. To address this issue, this study investigates the effectiveness of the Pictionary game in enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery. An experimental method was employed in this study. The subjects of this study were 28 students (12 are boys and 16 are girls) from class VII.B at SMP Negeri 1 Blangpidie. The data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed by using a paired-sample t-test to see the improvements in students’ vocabulary mastery after treatment. The findings showed that the use of Pictionary card games significantly improves students' vocabulary mastery, as indicated by an increase in the mean scores from 46 in the pre-test to 63 in the post-test. In addition, the data from the pair sample T-test revealed that  t-score of 9.48 with a significance level of 0.000. Since the significance value (sig) is 0.000, which is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Pictionary game is effective in improving students’ vocabulary. This means that the use of the Pictionary game is recommended to be applied in teaching vocabulary.

Abstract

This study explores critical discourse analysis in the context of the prolonged Israel-Palestine conflict. It examines the discourse of two prominent outlets with different geographic and cultural contexts, The Guardian and The Jakarta Post, during the May 2021 escalation. This qualitative study applies Van Dijk's (1984) three-dimensional framework, with adaptations from Van Leeuwen (2008), to analyze news articles at macro, super, and micro levels. The findings reveal that The Guardian emphasized humanitarian impacts and used euphemistic terms, while The Jakarta Post highlighted reactive actions and employed a more direct tone. At the superstructure level, differences in story organization and headline framing were evident, with The Guardian focusing on chronological sequencing and The Jakarta Post emphasizing Indonesia’s advocacy for Palestine. At the microstructure level, The Guardian framed Israel’s actions neutrally, while The Jakarta Post reflected a pro-Palestinian stance through dysphemistic lexical choices. Ideologically, The Guardian leaned toward a neutral stance, often legitimizing Israeli actions, whereas The Jakarta Post highlighted solidarity with Palestinian victims in alignment with Indonesia’s cultural and political context. These findings highlight geographic and cultural influences on media narratives. This study fosters deeper conflict analysis, enhancing critical discourse and offering insights into the ideological underpinnings of international media coverage.

Abstract

This study explores how students who are blind from birth comprehend and form semantic concepts, focusing specifically on the notion of a "visual lexicon." By investigating the development and understanding of semantic concepts in these students, this study aims to reveal how blind students interpret meanings usually derived from visual experiences and adapt them through alternative sensory inputs. This is a descriptive qualitative study. The data were collected from observation and interview The data source of this research consists of 21 visual vocabulary words, categorized into three groups: nouns that can be touched, nouns that cannot be touched, and adjectives. The data of this research revealed that first and third-grade students use definitions and paraphrases in conceptualizing the semantics of visual vocabulary, while fifth and sixth-grade students use classification, naming, and definitions. In acquiring the semantic concepts of visual vocabulary, there is a shift from sight to hearing and touch. Since blind children lack visual input, their language acquisition, particularly in semantic concepts, relies solely on experiences conveyed through spoken information from others. Therefore, the study's results are expected to support curriculum development for language teaching tailored to blind students and contribute more broadly to educational and linguistic insights for the visually impaired.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the perceptions, practices and reflections of pre-service English teacher towards peer assessment in Public Speaking course. This study not only focuses on students' perceptions, but also discusses how students practice this peer assessment and how they reflect on the implementation of this peer assessment. A basic interpretative study approach was used because it focuses on understanding the meaning individuals ascribe to their experiences. This approach allows researchers to explore the complexities of peer assessment from the participants' perspectives, rather than simply measuring outcomes. The participants in this study were 26 second-semester students from the 2023 intake of the English Language Education Program, who were enrolled in the Public Speaking course. There were three instruments needed to collect data, namely open-ended questionnaire, observation and peer assessment rubric. The findings reveal that most students positively perceive peer assessment as an effective tool for receiving feedback and improving their speaking skills. In practice, students utilized the rubric to evaluate their peers, providing scores, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and presenting feedback. Reflecting on these experiences, some students suggested that the peer assessment rubric could be simplified to enhance clarity and better align with the course objectives.

Abstract

This study intends to identify the types of deixis (personal, temporal, spatial) used in bilingual classrooms, to examine how deixis functions as a linguistic tool to support comprehension in bilingual learning environments, and to provide practical recommendations for lecturers on how to effectively integrate deixis and translanguaging in teaching. To answer the problems, classroom interaction was examined using a qualitative study through classroom observation, audio-recorded interactions, and interviews. The English-speaking Indonesian students and lecturers are participated in this study. According to the results, first, three types of deixis (personal, temporal, and spatial) were identified in bilingual classroom interactions using translanguaging practices. Second, deixis was functioned as an essential language tool for tying communication to particular people, places, and times, which promotes more seamless and contextually relevant interactions. Temporal deixis planned classroom activities, spatial deixis made collaborative work clear, and personal deixis promoted inclusion and relational dynamics. Last, the practical recommendation covered encouraging critical thinking, cultural sensitivity, and participation in multilingual environments. This study emphasizes how crucial it is to incorporate deixis and translanguaging into bilingual education in order to establish welcoming, stimulating, and productive learning environments. To extend these findings across other language and cultural contexts, more study is advised.
