English course in Diponegoro University as the basic required course is offered mostly by the department without giving any prior consideration of its purpose, and mostly arranged by the teachers without any guidance from the departments. This study is conducted with the purpose to see the possibility of teaching English by focusing the materials on students’ main competence and emphasized on student centered learning. The action research is targeted on having students use their English in demonstrating their main competence both in speaking and writing, through the method of Project Based Learning. The result shows that students are more motivated to study English and that it helps students to take the benefit of learning English for the development of their main competence. The further benefit is that students are able to increase their ability in academic writing and that they have more confident in speaking English. The main drawback from the study is that the groups work well to help students work more completely and easily, however it is true that since the works are mostly in group, individual problem may not be easily catered.
This study is aimed at finding out what students need in taking English as required course, what students want to learn, and how they want to learn. The data were taken from 500 questionnaires distributed to students. The data revealed that most of the students do have positive attitude in learning English, and because of this the students have more chances to take the best of their learning. However, as most of the students also take English because they are required to do so, there are also some factors that may discourage learners’ motivation in learning, i.e. materials selection, and teaching methods. Kajian ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui apa yang diinginkan oleh mahasiswa dalam mengambil mata kuliah MKDU Bahasa Inggris, secara spesifik untuk mengetahui materi apa yang mereka ingin pelajari, dan bagaimana mereka ingin mempelajarinya. Data diambil dari kuesioner yang disebarkan pada 500 mahasiswa. Analisis data menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa memiliki sikap bahasa yang positif dalam mepelajari Bahasa Inggris, dan oleh karenanya mahasiswa memiliki kesempatan lebih banyak untuk mengambil keuntungan terbesar dari perkuliahan tersebut. Namun demikian, karena sebagian besar mahasiswa mengambil mata kuliah tersebut karena kewajiban, ada beberapa hal yang menyurutkan motivasi mahasiswa, yakni pemilihan materi, dan metode mengajar dosen Bahasa Inggris.

This study is Research & Development which contains three phases (explorative, model design, and try-out). The research aims to develop a teaching material which integrates Javanese local wisdom for the students of secondary school in Semarang. Phase 1 (the explorative study) consists of two parts: book review and needs analysis (questionnaire and interview). The results of the first phase show that the existing three books do not include aspects of local wisdom. While the needs analysis show that the respondents agreed to integrate aspects of local wisdom with the benefits as follows: (a) supporting the learning process, (b) making the students understand the materials more easily, (c) enhancing the understanding of local cultures and character education. In phase 2 and phase 3 (model design and try-out in three schools), the findings indicate that integrating local wisdom, i.e. a traditional song ”menthog-menthog” can enliven the classroom atmosphere. In addition, based on the respondent perception, the integration of local wisdom would enrich the knowledge of local cultures as well as help the students understand ELT texts.
Islamic fintech lending regulation and consumer protection are important matters that serve as behavioral guidelines and guarantee the fulfillment of consumer rights. Islamic fintech lending has high risks, such as default, sharia compliance, and implementation of dispute resolution. This study aims to find and analyze the regulation and protection of Islamic fintech lending consumers in Indonesian laws and regulations. This research is normative juridical research that examines the law as a norm in legislation by using secondary data which is analyzed qualitatively by descriptive analysis method. Normatively, there are no regulations that specifically regulate or contain Islamic fintech lending. Thus, consumer protection is also weak. Policymakers must carry out legal reforms by issuing laws or regulations that regulate Islamic fintech lending and its business activities to realize legal certainty, justice, and benefit.
