Abstract

Podcasts have gained popularity as a flexible medium for delivering information across diverse genres, including news, entertainment, personal development, and education. This study investigates the integration of podcast-assisted media and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to enhance English-speaking skills among third-semester students enrolled in the Public Speaking and Presentation course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang. The research addresses challenges in traditional language instruction, such as limited speaking opportunities and student anxiety, by leveraging the flexibility and authenticity of podcasts. Employing a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the study examines the impact of this method on students' speaking abilities. Data analysis was conducted using a paired sample t-test, revealing a significant improvement in speaking skills, as indicated by the pretest and posttest score comparison (t = -34.997, p = 0.000). The findings demonstrate that integrating podcast-assisted media with Project-Based Learning (PjBL) provides an effective approach to enhancing students' English-speaking skill, offering opportunities for active participation and authentic listening experiences.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of Toraja cultural elements in the sentence writing of English Education students at UKI Toraja. Using a quantitative descriptive analysis with 56 participants, the research utilized a questionnaire to evaluate engagement with local cultural aspects. The results show a significant incorporation of traditional food and natural landscapes, which received mean scores of 59 and 63, respectively, indicating students' appreciation for their heritage and enhancing their identity through sensory experiences. However, cultural expressions such as Londe/Pantun and the Rambu Tuka’ ceremony were less represented, with mean scores of 41 and 52, revealing gaps in students' familiarity and confidence. These findings highlight the need for educational initiatives that encourage the exploration of underrepresented cultural elements, thereby enriching student narratives and providing a more comprehensive portrayal of Toraja culture. Expanding curricular approaches to include diverse expressions of local heritage can improve writing skills and strengthen cultural connections among students.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a crucial aspect of English language proficiency, yet many students struggle to understand and use vocabulary accurately. Visual media such as busy pictures are believed to support early childhood vocabulary development through visual stimulation and interactive engagement. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of using busy pictures in improving vocabulary mastery among Group B students at PAUD Zalfa Naqiyya Samarinda. This research employed a quantitative method, involving a population of 32 students from Group B during the 2023/2024 academic year, with a sample of 13 students. The findings revealed that the average pretest score before treatment was 21.31, while the average post-test score after the use of busy pictures increased to 54. This represents a 32.69% improvement. The results indicate that busy pictures are an effective medium for enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery. Furthermore, the hypothesis testing showed that the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, confirming the positive impact of busy picture media on vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

The increase in digital content that is accessed by all age levels, including ages 4-6 who are in Early Childhood Education, has a good impact on access to positive content for self-development but also has the potential to have negative impacts such as addiction, lack of social interaction, bad influences on physical to weakening language development. Sometimes, the lack of exposure to the use of English contributes to the less-than-optimal mastery of English in children. There is an idea that aims to integrate three components of learning, namely digital technology, storytelling, and the use of bilingualism. Bilingual digital storytelling is an alternative solution to accommodate the development needs of children in terms of receptive language skills, listening and productive language skills, speaking, with the use of two languages as a bridge for children to get used to using English in a tiered manner. Therefore, this study uses the Classroom Action Research type with respondents, namely students aged 4-6 years. Data collection uses observation techniques that refer to observation guide instruments and documentation as additional data to enrich data acquisition. The analysis is carried out descriptively by following several stages of the cycle and comparisons between the entire cycle that runs. The result shows that bilingual digital storytelling demonstrated encouraging progress in English vocabulary acquisition and usage among early learners. However, there was a noticeable gap in developing conversational skills, as most attempts at conversation remained limited to fragmented expressions rather than complete sentences.

Abstract

In an increasingly digitalised educational landscape, integrating mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) tools has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance communicative competencies in English, particularly among high school learners. This study explores the effectiveness of the Duolingo application combined with a self-directed learning (SDL) approach in improving English-speaking skills among high school students. Using a quantitative research design, the study was conducted with 57 eleventh-grade students from UPTD SMAN 1 Aralle during the 2024-2025 academic year. Pre-test and post-test assessments measured students' speaking abilities before and after using Duolingo over a designated period. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement, with an average difference of -17.22 between pre-test and post-test scores, supported by a t-value of -8.92 and a significance level of 0.000. This indicates the significant positive impact of Duolingo's interactive features, gamification elements, and self-paced learning model in enhancing students' confidence and competence in speaking English. This research fills a gap in existing studies by focusing on speaking skills and provides practical recommendations for integrating technology into educational practices. It emphasizes the role of teacher guidance, consistent student engagement, and curriculum design to maximize the benefits of technology-driven learning.

Abstract

Revolution of language style is affected by technology and the field majored by the author; in this case it refers to university students. The use of English terms in scientific text is predictably affected by their English skills. This research aims to know the characteristics of English technical terms that are used by the students and its usage in academic scientific text. The data is collected from the thesis. The result shows that students properly use the terms in the form of phrases, consisting of two to four words, that are abbreviated and not abbreviated, because of their familiarity with the terms. The terms are used to mention the name of variable, the name of application, the name of object, and the name of theory. In order to maintain the use of Indonesian language, the advisors are expected to suggest the students use its equivalent that are available in Bahasa and use it daily so that it is acceptable and familiar for the students.
