The Effect of Academic Progression on EFL Learning Self-Efficacy among English Education Students in an Indonesian University
type: item
description: This study examines the effect of academic progression on EFL learning self-efficacy among English Education students at a state university in Indonesia. Although self-efficacy has been widely recognized as a key factor influencing learners’ motivation, engagement, and academic performance, limited research in the Indonesian context has explored whether confidence levels differ meaningfully across academic stages. To address this gap, the study compared the self-efficacy of second-year and third-year students using a quantitative comparative design. A total of 30 participants completed a validated Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability testing, assumption checks, and independent samples t-tests. The results showed that both groups demonstrated moderately high self-efficacy, with third-year students reporting slightly higher scores; however, the difference was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that academic progression alone may not substantially influence learners’ self-efficacy when instructional conditions and learning experiences remain relatively similar. The study highlights the need for providing meaningful mastery experiences and supportive pedagogical practices to strengthen self-efficacy development across students’ academic journeys in Indonesian higher education.

Dissecting Slang Words in the Album of 'Kirk' by DaBaby
type: item
description: This undergraduate thesis entitled Dissecting Slang Words in the Album of ‘Kirk’ by DaBaby examines the types and functions of slang expressions in DaBaby’s lyrics. Adopting Allan and Burridge’s (2006) sociolinguistic framework, the research identifies and categorizes slang types, for instance Fresh and Creative, Clipping, Imitative, Acronym, and Flippant as well as analyses their communicative functions within hip-hop culture. Data were collected from all 13 songs on the Kirk album using qualitative methods. A total of 52 slang expressions were systematically classified and evaluated to determine their roles in expressing identity, emotion, resistance, humor, and social bonding. The findings reveal the Fresh and Creative slang (e.g., drip, vibez, bop) is the most prevalent (41.6%), highlighting DaBaby’s linguistic innovation. Clipping(e.g., gon’, ‘em,) and Imitative (e.g., finna, wanna) types support rhythmic flow and cultural authenticity, while Flippant terms (e.g., nigga, hoe) convey emotional intensity and in-group solidarity. Functionally, slang primarily reinforces group identity and enables emotional expression, with secondary roles in humor, resistance, and social intimacy. This research underscores slang’s significance in hip-hop as a tool for cultural representation, artistic creativity, and generational discourse. It contributes to sociolinguistic studies of music by demonstrating how informal lexicon shapes artist identity and listener engagement in contemporary rap.

Sinergi Kolektif : Urgensi dan Strategi Penguatan Kerja Tim dalam Meningkatkan Mutu Kelembagaan di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah
type: item
description: Teamwork is a fundamental element and a strategic pillar in the governance of educational institutions, particularly at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) level, which demands the integration of religious values and national academic standards. This article aims to deeply analyze the urgency of team formation, the dynamics of the effective team-building process, and strategies for maintaining team cohesion to support the success of Islamic primary education organizations. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through literature reviews and in-depth interviews with a limited number of informants competent in madrasah management. Through the analysis of literature and field data, it was found that the urgency of teamwork in MI lies not only in administrative efficiency but also in creating an adaptive and collaborative learning environment. The results indicate that a solid work team significantly enhances the quality of learning through the exchange of ideas between teachers and staff, strengthens internal coordination systems often hindered by bureaucracy, and optimizes human resource development through knowledge transfer among members. Furthermore, this study identifies three main pillars for successful teamwork in MI: first, participative leadership capable of embracing all aspirations of the madrasah community; second, open communication that minimizes internal conflict; and third, clear task distribution based on individual competence (the right man on the right place). These findings provide practical implications for madrasah heads to prioritize a collective work culture over individualistic efforts to achieve accreditation targets and a vision of superior Islamic education in the contemporary era.

type: item
description: English has increasingly functioned as global communication among people around the world with diverse cultural background. In this era, English is more frequently used among non-native speakers than native speakers themselves especially in academic, professional, and intercultural settings.

English for Specific Purposes in Tourism Higher Education: Trends, Gaps, and Future Directions in Curriculum Design
type: item
description: English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has become a crucial component in tourism higher education as the industry increasingly demands graduates who are communicatively competent, professionally confident, and interculturally aware. This article aims to provide a descriptive analysis of current trends, identify key gaps, and propose future directions in ESP curriculum design within tourism higher education. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study synthesizes relevant literature on ESP, tourism education, and curriculum development to map prevailing pedagogical practices and conceptual challenges. The findings indicate that contemporary ESP tourism curricula have shown a positive movement toward speaking-oriented, task-based, and performance-driven instruction that reflects the needs of workplace communication. However, significant gaps persist between students’ linguistic competence and their readiness to perform professional communication in authentic tourism contexts. These gaps are primarily attributed to the limited integration of industry-based service scenarios, psychological readiness factors such as confidence and willingness to communicate, and the development of intercultural competence. The discussion highlights the need to reconceptualize ESP tourism not merely as linguistic pedagogy, but as professional communication pedagogy that emphasizes service-oriented discourse, authentic tasks, and learner readiness. This article concludes that a holistic ESP tourism curriculum, integrating linguistic, psychological, cultural, and professional dimensions, is essential to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world tourism communication. The study offers conceptual implications for curriculum designers and educators and recommends future empirical research across diverse local and global tourism contexts to validate further and refine ESP tourism curriculum models.

Tradisi Keilmuan Pesantren dalam Membentuk Peradaban Islam Indonesia
type: item
description: Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) as the oldest and most authentic Islamic educational institution in Indonesia play a central role not only as transmitters of religious knowledge but also as shapers of Islamic civilization in the archipelago. This qualitative case study at Pesantren Tremas and Pesantren Langitan aims to examine the scholarly tradition of pesantren, which is built upon the foundations of sanad (chain of transmission), the study of classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning), and the bandongan and sorogan learning methods, as well as its contribution to framing a moderate Indonesian Islamic civilization. The research findings indicate that this scholarly tradition successfully forms a distinct epistemology and intellectual habitus, producing a synthesis between the authenticity of tradition (al-muhafazhah ‘ala al-qadim al-shalih) and adaptation to modernity (al-akhdzu bi al-jadid al-aslah) through the integration of religious (naqliyah) and general/scientific (kauniyah) sciences. Tangible contributions are manifested in the preservation of classical Islamic heritage, the reproduction of networks of moderate Islamic scholars, the indigenization of Islamic values, and the instillation of social ethics that uphold harmony. Although faced with challenges of digitalization and educational competition, the adaptive capacity of pesantren through methodological revitalization and the digitalization of classical texts. ensures the continuity of its role as a laboratory and dynamist for a character-driven Indonesian Islamic civilization.

Developing a Total Physical Response (TPR)-Based English Module to Enhance Listening-Speaking Skills of Young Learners
type: item
description: In order to address the issues of classroom management, media integration, and listening-speaking progression that teachers at PPA Kramer Hilina'a Gunungsitoli faced with 18 students ages 6 to 9, this research and development (R&D) study created Total Physical Response (TPR)-based English teaching modules using the ADDIE model. The class D English instructor served as the study population. Semi-structured interviews and TPR classroom observations were used to gather data, which was then subjected to content analysis. Three primary needs were identified by the findings: listening-speaking hurdles, current media structuring (PPT, flashcards, videos), and movement classroom management (73% interview codes). The module increased student engagement from 62% (11/18 students) to 89% (16/18 students), command-response frequency from 8 to 21 per session, and verbal repetition from 9/18 to 15/18 students (83%) after it was tested in two class D sessions and validated by experts (score 4.2/5 or 84%). This low-tech lesson can be replicated in PAUDs with limited funding and space, giving non-specialist teachers formal TPR assistance utilizing already-existing resources at no further cost. Single respondent and short trial duration are research limitations; subsequent long-term testing across several PAUDs is advised.

Peran SMA Plus Yaspida Sukabumi dalam Membentuk Kepemimpinan Siswa
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the role of SMA PLUS Yaspida in developing student leadership as an effort to manifest khalifatu fii al-ardi (stewards on earth) with Islamic character. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques including observation, informal interviews, and documentary studies. The results indicate that the foundational concept of SMA PLUS Yaspida is based on a national curriculum integrated with pesantren (Islamic boarding school) programs, leadership training, and the habituation of Islamic character. The primary strategy of SMA Plus YASPIDA in shaping student leadership is through the implementation of a conducive and structured student/santri organizational culture, allowing students to experience a learning by doing process in leadership imbued with Islamic values. This role is central and integrated, grounded in the concept of a Total Islamic Boarding School. Challenges encountered include time constraints, heavy academic and religious workloads, the transition from a command-based structure to student autonomy, limited perceptions of leadership, and a lack of structured, sustainable leadership training. These issues are addressed by implementing a daily responsibility delegation model and a situational leadership approach. The study concludes that the leadership program ensures students are not only academically proficient but also morally, socially, and emotionally mature as future leaders.

Drowning in Projects : Project Based English Learning Challenges and Rural High School Students' Motivation
type: item
description: This study investigates the impact of interactive project-based learning (PBL) on the motivation and speaking confidence of 17 high school students in a rural EFL setting. By transitioning from traditional rote-learning to collaborative, contextually relevant projects—such as those involving local agriculture and community storytelling—the research highlights how student agency and social engagement drive language acquisition. Results indicate that localizing the curriculum transforms English from a perceived "foreign burden" into a medium of identity, significantly reducing the fear of failure through peer-reliant tasks and a 65% increase in peer-to-peer linguistic support. For teachers, these findings offer a practical roadmap for overcoming resource constraints by utilizing human interaction and cultural relevance over expensive digital tools, thereby reducing teacher burnout through a "facilitator" approach. For researchers, this study challenges the "deficit model" of rural education, providing qualitative evidence that student-centered methodologies can bridge the motivational gap in underserved communities. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that empowering learners with choice and a sense of purpose fosters self-efficacy and authentic communication skills, offering a scalable framework for inclusive pedagogical reform in diverse, resource-limited educational environments globally.

The Correlation Between Show and Tell Strategy and Student’s Speaking Skill at the Third Grade of SMA Negeri 2 Seberida
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the significant correlation between the implementation of the Show and Tell strategy and students’ speaking skills at the senior high school level.This research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational method. The instruments used included a speaking test and a questionnaire to measure students’ perceptions of the applied strategy. The sample consisted of 108 third-grade students selected through simple random sampling. The hypothesis test results showed a significant correlation between the Show and Tell strategy and students' speaking ability. The Pearson correlation coefficient value was 0.303, indicating a moderate positive correlation. Meanwhile, the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.001, which is lower than 0.05, suggesting that the correlation is statistically significant. Although the correlation value is not high, the findings demonstrate that the Show and Tell strategy contributes positively to students’ speaking skill development. The application of this strategy allows students to practice speaking spontaneously, organize their ideas more clearly, and build greater confidence in speaking publicly. Furthermore, students are encouraged to be more active and engaged in the learning process. A supportive and interactive learning environment created through Show and Tell helps reduce speaking anxiety, which is common in foreign language learning. Regular practice also contributes to improvements in other speaking aspects such as pronunciation, vocabulary, and comprehension. Therefore, the Show and Tell strategy can be concluded as an effective method for enhancing students’ oral communication skills.

Preliminary Study on Health Students’ Communication Skills and Needs in Patient Education
type: item
description: Effective communication is a core competency in nursing practice, particularly in patient education, yet many nursing students experience difficulties in developing communication skills that align with clinical expectations. This study aimed to explore communication skills, perceived communication needs, and readiness for communication among undergraduate nursing students. A descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted involving 78 sixth-semester nursing students at STIKES Bethesda Yakkum Yogyakarta. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire comprising four sections: demographic characteristics, communication skills, perceived communication needs, and readiness for communication. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical methods. The results revealed that most students demonstrated moderate communication skills (52.6%), while nearly one quarter reported low skill levels (24.4%). More than half of the respondents (51.3%) perceived high communication needs, indicating a considerable gap between existing competencies and professional demands. Regarding readiness, half of the students (50.0%) showed moderate readiness to apply communication skills in patient education settings, whereas 26.9% reported low readiness. Overall, the findings indicate a misalignment between communication skills, perceived needs, and readiness among nursing students. In conclusion, although nursing students possess basic communication abilities, targeted and practice-oriented communication training is essential to improve readiness and confidence. Integrating structured communication education into nursing curricula is therefore crucial to better prepare students for effective patient education.

type: item
description: This descriptive qualitative study investigates the effectiveness of the U-Dictionary application as a self-study tool for improving English pronunciation among 17 vocational high school students. The research reveals that utilizing pronunciation features and voice translation significantly shifts learner behavior from passive listening to active phonetic modeling. Key findings highlight a marked reduction in speaking anxiety due to the app's private practice environment, while real-time AI feedback serves as a persistent, objective coach for self-correction. For other teachers, this study demonstrates a practical strategy for integrating mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) into the curriculum to address fossilized pronunciation errors without increasing classroom time. It offers a blueprint for creating low-stakes, high-engagement practice sessions that specifically cater to learners with high affective filters. For researchers, the study provides valuable insights into the intersection of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and autonomous digital practice, illustrating how mobile tools can bridge the gap between academic instruction and professional readiness in vocational contexts. By highlighting the "trial-and-error" loop of AI interaction, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on learner agency and the transformative potential of accessible technology in non-traditional educational settings.

Addressing Learning Delays: A Qualitative Study on Teaching English Reading to Seventh-Grade Students Through Observation
type: item
description: This qualitative study explores the instructional strategies used to enhance English literacy among four seventh-grade slow learners through a six-month non-participant observation. The findings reveal that a radical shift from traditional drilling to an extensive "read-a-lot" framework, supported by multimodal scaffolding and a "no-fail" socio-emotional environment, significantly improves student engagement and cognitive mapping. For fellow educators, this research offers a practical roadmap for implementing high-volume reading immersion that prioritizes fluency over immediate grammatical perfection, providing concrete examples of how graded readers and digital tools like virtual reality can bridge abstract linguistic gaps. Researchers benefit from a detailed exploration of how gender dynamics and interest-based text selection influence literacy resilience in inclusive secondary settings. By documenting the move from laborious word-for-word translation to intuitive language "chunking," the study proves that slow learners can achieve substantial academic growth when pedagogical rhythms are adjusted to their specific needs. Ultimately, this work serves as an evidentiary catalyst for shifting toward asset-based teaching models, encouraging the academic community to view slow learning as a unique processing pace rather than a permanent barrier to success.

Comparing Neural Machine Translation and Human Translation of Dickinson’s Because I Could Not Stop for Death
type: item
description: The development of neural machine translation (NMT) as a branch of artificial intelligence has significantly influenced translation practices, including literary translation. However, the capacity of NMT systems to preserve the aesthetic and stylistic dimensions of poetry remains contested. This study compares the performance of DeepL and a human translation in rendering Emily Dickinson’s poem Because I Could Not Stop for Death into Indonesian. The study employs a qualitative line-by-line comparative analysis focusing on equivalence, diction, shifts, and stylistic effects. The machine translation was generated through DeepL using default settings without post-editing. The findings reveal that DeepL demonstrates strong lexical accuracy and structural consistency, but tends to produce literal renderings that reduce metaphorical depth and aesthetic nuance. In contrast, the human translation shows greater flexibility in handling figurative language, rhythm, and emotional tone, resulting in a more poetic and communicative target text. These findings indicate that while DeepL can function as an initial assistive tool in poetry translation, human interpretive intervention remains essential to achieve artistic and stylistic adequacy.

Grammatical Errors Done by Trainee Bellboys
type: item
description: This study aims to identify the grammatical errors done by trainee bellboys when handling guests at New Sunari Lovina Beach Resort. The study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. The data were collected through observation, audio recordings of bellboy–guest interactions, and semi-structured interviews. A total of 118 utterances produced by nine trainee bellboys were analyzed using the Surface Strategy Taxonomy proposed by Dulay et al. which consist of omission, misformation, addition, and misordering. The findings indicate that grammatical errors frequently occurred in the trainees’ spoken English. From those utterances, it was found that 88 contained grammatical errors, with omission and misformation being the most dominant, particularly in the use of auxiliary verbs, articles, and prepositions, and followed by addition and misordering. These findings suggest that continuous and focused English language training is necessary to enhance grammatical accuracy and professional communication in the hospitality industry.
