Abstract

In 1998, 2002, and 2015, Indonesia experienced the worst smog disaster. Not only caused disruption in Indonesia, but the smog also caused problems in neighbouring countries. Most people think that this is the result of forest fires, but in fact the smog is caused by something else related to peatlands. This must be introduced to the people of Indonesia and the world so that there is no ongoing misunderstanding. Therefore, the authors developed an English for Specific Purpose (ESP) textbook related to peatlands and smog. This research is intended to develop a textbook on the relationship between peatlands and smog disasters which will be used for the educational process related to this matter which will be distributed in the form of textbooks. The methodology used in this research is Research and Development, where researchers will conduct data and information collection qualitatively. Furthermore, the findings will be the basis for the development of textbooks containing material about peatlands and smog. The results showed that the smog that occurred, especially in the Kalimantan area, was not pure due to the burning of forests for plantation land only. The smog turned out to be caused by burning peatlands where the fire was below the surface of the ground, making it difficult to extinguish and cause smoke to continue to spread for a long time. Root structure and content in peatlands is the main source of smog problems. This was then used as material for the preparation of English for Specific Purposes textbooks: Peatlands and the Smog Disaster. This research is limited only to peatlands in Kalimantan, smog, and developing textbooks as an educational tool. Since the focus of this study is only on the peatlands and the smog disaster developed for textbooks as educational reference material, the results of this study can be said to be classified as new research and have a high urgency to be carried out.

Abstract

Abstract: Speaking is an important productive skill and students need to master this skill. However, some students are still not accustomed to speak English because of some factors, one of them is the lack of using some media that can help to speak English in the classroom. Some teachers tend to explain the materials directly then do the exercises without any media involved. Media could be the solution in students’ speaking skill. The use of media in the classroom are hoped to give the contribution to students in developing different learning styles and making the process of learning more interesting and enjoyable. Telling story digitally comes as the new frame of telling story to replace telling story traditionally. Through the use of multimedia technology, digital storytelling is a form of telling story that enables students to write their own stories using their own words and record their voices or videos based on the digital images they have. This research employs experimental study on the effectiveness of digital storytelling to teach speaking. The samples were experimental class which treated using digital storytelling and control class which treated using picture-cued storytelling. ANOVA with multifactor analysis was used to analyses the data. This study’s findings show that digital storytelling enhances students’ speaking abilities more than picture-cued storytelling.

Abstract

Humor is widely recognized as an effective method for promoting language acquisition and enhancing language skills. Using humor in language training can help students feel more at ease, reduce tension, and encourage good emotions, all of which have a favorable effect on their motivation and engagement. In language-learning environments, linguistic jokes are one sort of humor that has not been well investigated. This study uses descriptive qualitative methodologies to investigate the advantages of linguistic jokes in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. Data were gathered for the study from interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations involving EFL students. The results show that language learners gain from using linguistic jokes in EFL classes in several ways, including greater motivation, increased engagement, improved communication skills, and decreased anxiety. The study also emphasizes how humour can improve the learning environment by encouraging greater participation and a sense of belonging among students. The qualitative data show that learners have good attitudes toward using humour in language acquisition, which lends credence to these findings. The study proposes that EFL teachers utilize humour as a teaching method to facilitate language learning and develop language skills. It also finds that including linguistic jokes in EFL classrooms can benefit language learners in various ways.
