This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Agree–Disagree Line Game in improving the speaking skills of first-semester students in an Indonesian EFL classroom, grounded in Long’s Interaction Hypothesis, which emphasizes the role of interaction in language development. The study employed Classroom Action Research consisting of two cycles conducted over eight meetings within one semester and involved 20 first-semester students from the English Department of a private university in Medan. Quantitative data were collected through speaking tests, while qualitative data were obtained from interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The quantitative findings indicated a clear improvement in students’ speaking performance, with the mean speaking score increasing from 62 in the pre-test to 80.65 in the final post-test. This improvement was further supported by qualitative findings, which showed that students became more active, confident, and motivated during speaking activities. The results indicate that the Agree–Disagree Line Game can serve as an effective game-based learning strategy and provide practical pedagogical implications for EFL teachers in fostering interactive speaking instruction at the tertiary level.

This study examines how visual signs represented through characters construct meaning in the film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research applies semiotic theories by Ferdinand de Saussure and Roland Barthes to analyze the relationship between signifier and signified, as well as the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth. The research data consist of visual signs that appear in the film, particularly those related to the characters. Data collection techniques include intensive observation of the film, identification of visual signs, and documentation of relevant scenes. The study finds that visual signs in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil are polysemic and context-dependent. Maleficent’s wings shift from signifying autonomy to protection, while Aurora’s flower crown signifies peaceful leadership and sincerity of values across different power spaces. In contrast, Queen Ingrith’s white costume subverts conventional purity, instead signifying hidden threat, moral hypocrisy, and cruelty, naturalizing ideologies of power disguised as virtue. This study contributes to film semiotics and media studies by demonstrating that visual character elements function not only as aesthetic components but also as dynamic systems of meaning that convey cultural and ideological messages. The research emphasizes the significance of semiotic analysis in understanding how films construct meaning through visual representation.

This study examines how a nineteenth-century norm of femininity began to be questioned through the character of Anne Shirley in the novel Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. Although this novel has been widely discussed in relation to childhood and moral development, Anne's behavior in this work is particularly noteworthy because it can be interpreted as a performative challenge to limited gender expectations. Using Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity, this study applies qualitative textual analysis to several selected scenes, using narrative description and interaction analysis between characters. The results show that Anne's expressiveness, intellectual ambition, and resistance to discipline can be seen as having a performative function that undermines social constructions of femininity. This study also shows that Anne's characterization operates in accordance with literary performances of gender resistance, rather than simply being an unconventional personality. These findings also contribute to the current feminist literary discussion on gender identity in classical texts.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Station Rotation Blended Learning Model in improving the maharat al-kalam (Arabic speaking skills) of 10th-grade students at MA Plus Keterampilan Hasyim Asy'ari Tegaldelimo. This study is a quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. A total of 60 10th-grade students were divided into two groups: the experimental group (n=30), which received instruction through four rotating stations (Teacher, Multimedia, Collaboration, and Creativity), and the control group (n=30), which received conventional instruction. The speaking test instrument was based on ACTFL standards. Quantitative data were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test, Cohen’s d effect size, and N-Gain. Thematic analysis of observation notes and interviews revealed increased self-confidence and reduced speaking anxiety in the experimental group. The Rotating Station Blended Learning Model proved to be effective and statistically significant in improving Arabic speaking skills. This model offers a creative solution to address low oral production skills in foreign language learning.

Office management plays a crucial role not only in administrative management but also in the professional development of administrative staff in educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the role of office management in enhancing the competencies and supporting the career development of administrative staff at SMAN 01 Pesanggaran. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with the subjects being the school principal, the head of administration, and administrative staff. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model (reduction, presentation, and drawing of conclusions). Data validity was tested through triangulation of techniques and sources. The results of the study indicate that the POAC functions (planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling) in office management—through clear task allocation, ongoing training, the use of technology, and routine performance evaluations—can enhance the professionalism and career development of administrative staff. The limitations of administrative workload are a barrier to the career development of administrative staff. This provides empirical evidence that office management is not merely technical in nature but constitutes a human resource (HR) development strategy within schools. It demonstrates that the POAC functions can be adapted as strategic work to build career paths for administrative staff, an area that has received insufficient attention in educational management studies. It identifies that workload constraints need to be managed systematically so that competency development is not disrupted—a practical finding for educational institution leaders.

The Effectiveness of Applying the Project Based Learning Model in Teaching the Writing Elements of Procedural Texts Based on the Local Wisdom of Sengkang Silk Sarongs among Eleventh Grade Students of SMK Negeri 1 Wajo. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in teaching the writing elements of procedural texts based on the local wisdom of Sengkang silk sarongs among eleventh-grade students of SMK Negeri 1 Wajo. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design (one-group pretest-posttest design). The subjects were 32 students of the Computer and Network Engineering Department (TKJ) selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included observation sheets for teacher and student activities and a writing skills test for procedural texts. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests to examine the difference between pretest and posttest results. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ ability to write procedural texts after the implementation of the PjBL model based on the local wisdom of Sengkang silk weaving. The posttest scores were higher than the pretest scores, indicating that the PjBL model effectively enhanced students’ writing skills. Moreover, this model fostered active participation, creativity, and cultural awareness among students. Integrating local wisdom into the learning process provided more meaningful and contextual learning experiences while contributing to the preservation of regional cultural values.

Academic reading is a fundamental component of higher education, particularly for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students who are frequently required to engage with complex academic texts. However, many students experience difficulties in understanding such texts due to limited use of effective reading strategies. This study aims to examine students’ engagement in academic reading through the implementation of three pre-reading and during-reading strategies: previewing, predicting, and anticipating. The research employed a descriptive approach involving ten university students as participants. Two instruments were used to collect data, reading comprehension tasks and a questionnaire. The reading tasks were designed to assess how students applied previewing, predicting, and anticipating strategies while interacting with an academic text, whereas the questionnaire measured students’ perceptions of the usefulness of these strategies using a Likert-scale format. The findings indicate that previewing helped most students identify the general topic and activate relevant prior knowledge before reading the text. In the prediction task, eight out of ten students were able to generate reasonable expectations about the content based on textual clues such as the title and accompanying images. Furthermore, the majority of participants successfully anticipated possible outcomes or conclusions after completing the reading activity, suggesting an increased level of engagement with the text. The questionnaire results also revealed generally positive perceptions toward the strategies, with most mean scores exceeding 3.5, indicating that students considered previewing, predicting, and anticipating helpful in supporting their comprehension of academic texts. Nevertheless, some students still encountered difficulties in making precise predictions and consistently applying these strategies throughout the reading process. Overall, the study suggests that integrating structured reading strategies such as previewing, predicting, and anticipating into academic reading instruction can promote more strategic engagement and improve students’ comprehension of academic texts in EFL contexts.

Curriculum reform is a continuous process aimed at improving educational quality and responding to evolving societal needs. In Indonesia, the transition from Curriculum 2013 (K13) to Kurikulum Merdeka represents a major shift toward flexible, competency-based learning. However, the success of such reforms largely depends on teachers who serve as the primary implementers of curriculum policies. This study aims to explore elementary school teachers’ perceptions, challenges, and recommendations regarding the transition from K13 to Kurikulum Merdeka in Kendari, Indonesia. The research employed a descriptive survey design involving 31 public elementary school teachers who had experience teaching under both curricula. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire consisting of 25 items and analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings indicate that most teachers perceive Kurikulum Merdeka positively, particularly appreciating its flexibility in lesson planning and its emphasis on essential learning content. Nevertheless, teachers reported several challenges during implementation, including limited time, insufficient training, and inadequate school resources. Despite these challenges, the majority of respondents expressed strong support for the new curriculum and believed it has the potential to improve the quality of learning. Teachers also recommended increased professional development opportunities, collaborative teacher forums, and clearer implementation guidelines from education authorities. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating teachers’ voices into curriculum reform processes to ensure sustainable and effective implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka.

This study investigates students’ speaking anxiety in drama-based speaking tasks in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, focusing on its multidimensional manifestations and impact on performance. Using a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, data were collected from eleventh-grade students through questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that speaking anxiety manifests across emotional, cognitive, physical, and behavioral dimensions, with cognitive anxiety being the most dominant. Students frequently experienced memory lapses, loss of concentration, and reduced fluency during performance. In addition, anxiety persisted after the performance, particularly during video reflection. These findings indicate that while drama activities can enhance engagement, they may also intensify performance-related anxiety. Therefore, it is important for teachers to implement supportive strategies that address both cognitive and emotional aspects of anxiety to improve students’ speaking performance.
