This study was prompted by the importance of technology in language learning, especially in improving students' speaking abilities. One of the technologies used is the Loora application, a mobile-based language learning (MALL) application that uses AI to provide automatic feedback and simulate everyday conversations. This study investigates how the Loora application improves students' speaking ability. The study population was 9th-grade students at MTs Al-manar in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, with a sample of 20 students selected through purposive sampling. The research method used was classroom action research, which consisted of two cycles. Data collection was conducted through a pre-test as a diagnostic test, and a post-test was conducted each cycle to measure the improvement of students' speaking ability and interviews to understand students' experience using this application. The results showed a significant improvement in accuracy (pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar) and speaking fluency. The highest increase occurred in the vocabulary aspect, with a percentage increase of 38.49%, followed by grammar by 22.05% and pronunciation by 17.72%. Meanwhile, speaking fluency increased by 17.57%. From the analysis, the accuracy aspect experienced a higher increase than fluency, where the accuracy score increased by 21.22% and fluency by 17.57%. The interview results confirmed the students' improved speaking skills and highlighted their favorable experiences with the Loora app. They felt more confident in speaking after using Loora, and they appreciated the automatic feedback feature that helped them correct mistakes and better understand English. This positive experience underscores the app's user-friendliness, which is encouraging for both educators and app developers. This research shows that the Loora application can be a learning media that significantly improves students' speaking abilities. Educators are advised to consider using MALL-based technology when teaching languages, as it can enhance students' speaking ability. These findings can potentially be used by application developers to increase the interactive elements of their language learning apps, hence increasing their potency in developing students' speaking abilities.

Most previous studies have analyzed multicultural values from various countries and school levels, yet not extensively examined the Indonesian textbooks for young learners. To fill this gap, this study conducts a visual semiotic analysis to explore the representation of multicultural values in an Indonesian English textbook for primary school students. Utilizing Barthes' visual semiotic theory, the research examines images from the textbook "My Next Words" focusing on four multicultural value keys: respecting other people’s traditions (ROPT), appreciating other people’s perspectives (AOPP), appreciating other people’s cultural products (AOPCP), and appreciating women’s equal rights (AWER). The first finding shows that appreciating women's equal rights (AWER) is the most frequently represented multicultural value in the textbook while appreciating other people’s cultural products is the least represented. The second finding indicates that the images in the textbook primarily represent universality across cultures (UC), with no portrayal of intercultural interaction (ICI). The study concludes that the textbook has an imbalanced representation of multicultural values. Therefore, textbook authors and teachers must address this imbalance. Textbooks should offer more images that represent balanced multicultural values. Meanwhile, teachers should actively engage in selecting appropriate textbooks, reviewing and evaluating multicultural values and cultural references, and providing feedback to publishers. By comparing similarities and differences from different cultures and countries, learning activities can improve students' multicultural awareness and enhance their intercultural communicative competence (ICC).

This research examines the representation of multicultural values in the 12th-grade high school English textbook "Life Today". In the era of globalization, incorporating cultural values into English Language Teaching (ELT) is very important to foster intercultural understanding and tolerance. This research uses qualitative descriptive methods and critical discourse analysis, focusing on visual and verbal content in textbooks. Visual data was analyzed using Barthes' visual semiotic theory, and verbal data was examined using Halliday's systemic functional linguistics and Cortazzi and Jin's cultural components framework. Findings show that the visual content in textbooks represents multicultural values such as Appreciating Other People's Cultural Products (AOPCP), Appreciating Women’s Equal Rights of Women (AWER), and Appreciating Other People's Perspectives (AOPP), with limited representation of Respecting Other People's Traditions (ROPT). Meanwhile, the multicultural value of verbal content in textbooks shows a bias towards universal culture. This study highlights the importance of balanced cultural content in ELT textbooks to improve students' intercultural communicative competence and suggests further research on strategies for teaching multicultural values.
