This study investigates the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach in enhancing Indonesian EFL secondary learners’ narrative writing skills and the perception of Indonesian EFL secondary schools toward applying the CTL approach. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with fifty-two eleventh-grade students as participants. The participants were divided into two groups; An experimental group received the CTL approach, and a control group received the conventional way. This study utilized a pre-posttest and perceptional questionnaire. Nonparametric tests (i.e., Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon test) were run to analyze the data in this study. The Man-Whitney U test indicated a significant difference between the mean score for the experimental group with the CTL approach and the control group without the CTL approach (9.86 > 10.12). Meanwhile, the Wilcoxon test illustrated that the leading score of the pre-test (10.14) and the post-test (16.05) in the experimental group differ significantly. Implementation of the CTL approach through its components positively contributes to teaching narrative writing skills. Meanwhile, the perceptional questionnaires showed that the students' experiment group perceived the implementation of the CTL Approach positively. This study results render teachers’ insight into a practical approach to teaching writing to be able to teach narrative writing.

The aim of the research was to analyze the printed mass media in making use of new media (online media) in order that they are able to converge and compete in an attempt to seize market in order to reap the advertisements and readers in the digital media era in Makassar.The Research was conducted to the editors in Chief, reportage coordinators and the manager of online media in Makassar, i.e. Tribun Timur Makassar and Fajar. Informants were selected by using purposive sampling methode based on the consideration that those informants knew well of what was expected from the research. The methodes of collecting the data were observation, in-depth interview, and documentation. The data were analyzed using by qualitative analysis.The results reveal that mass media convergence could overcome the decrease of the number of readers on mainstream media since the distribution of news does no longer only rely on newspapers but also on online media. The presence of these online media is a part of conventional media aiming to strengthen the media function of media so that they could expand the reader networks through a wider range of the distribution of news. This is the answer to market demands in order to survive and win the market in digital media era in Makassar. Mass media competition is analyzed by using Niche theory in which the media compete in one another in the same ecological space to obtain the source of life support, i.e. capital, content, and audience. Capital (advertisement) is the primary source of support, so online media are seriously given attention in order that they give a large amount of turnover. However, the income obtained from advertisements is still low compared to that of newspapers since the form of competition is not really high. This is because the companies in Makassar do not give a big advertisement budget allocation in online media.

ABSTRAKMengingat peranan zooplankton dalam ekosistem perairan sangat penting, maka dilakukan penelitian dengan tujuan untuk menganalisis struktur komunitas zooplankton yang meliputi jenis, kelimpahan, dan indek ekologi, dan  kaitan  distribusi zooplankton dan kualitas perairan di Perairan Kabupaten Lombok Utara. Pengumpulan data dirancang dengan sistem informasi geografis (SIG) pada 23 stasiun pengamatan yang ditentukan dengan teknik acak sederhana.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis dan kelimpahan zooplankton yang ditemukan di Perairan Kabupaten Lombok Utara cukup bervariasi dengan jumlah genus  sebanyak 9 yang terbagi  dari  5 kelas.  Berdasarkan perhitungan indeks ekologi menunjukkan bahwa struktur  komunitas zooplankton dalam kategori perairan yang kurang stabil. Kelimpahan dan indeks ekologi zooplankton  dipengaruhi oleh kondisi lingkungan (fisik-kimia) perairan antara lain  kecerahan, pH dan oksigen terlarut. Kata kunci : zooplankton,  struktur komunitas, kualitas perairan, kelimpahanABSTRACTConsidering that the role of zooplankton in aquatic ecosystems is very  important, research is carried out with the aim of analyzing zooplankton community structure which includes the type, abundance, and ecological index, and the relation of zooplankton distribution and water quality in North Lombok Regency Waters. Data collection was designed with a geographical information system (GIS) on 23 observation stations that were determined by simple random techniques. he results of this study indicate that the type and abundance of zooplankton found in the waters of North Lombok Regency are quite varied with the number of genus as many as 9 which are divided into 5 classes. Based on the calculation of the ecological index shows that the zooplankton community structure is in the category of less stable waters. The abundance and ecological index of zooplankton is influenced by the environmental (physical-chemical) conditions of the waters including brightness, pH and dissolved oxygen. Keywords: zooplankton, community structure, water quality, abundance

Lobster (Spiny lobster, Panulirus sp) is an important economic value commodity, then it needs to be developed through cultivation. North Lombok Regency has potential coastal and coastal resources for the development of marine aquaculture. Therefore, this study was to determine the condition of water quality in North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province to support the development of lobster aquculture. Water quality data collection was carried out in May 2018. A total of 23 stations that were spread out in simple random locations were collected at the research location.Water quality parameters collected include: temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), brightness, turbidity, nitrate (NO3-N), phosphate (PO4-P) and plankton.The results showed that the water conditions of North Lombok Regency still meet the range of quality standards or values recommended for lobster cultivation. Based on analysis of the statistics multivariate used in this research divide research locations into three different regions , the waters of the south  (Gulf  Sire) , middle parts in Tanjung and Gangga District,  and the northern in off shore.The result of this research is expected to be able as additional information to support the development of the cultivation of spiny lobster in North Lombok Regency

Hubungan timbal balik yang terjadi antara hutan mangrove dan kegiatan budidaya ikan selayaknya mengharuskan para pembudidaya ikan untuk tetap menjaga sinergi keduanya tidak terganggu. Namun demikian, tidak semua pembudidaya ikan mengetahui akan hal ini, sering kali pembukaan lahan budidaya dilakukan dengan mengurangi kepadatan vegetasi mangrove secara drastis, tanpa diikuti oleh proses penanaman kembali. Hal ini juga terjadi pada salah satu daerah hutan mangrove di Nusa Tenggara Barat, yaitu di Dusun Cemare Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Lahan budidaya dibuka tanpa adanya usaha untuk menjaga agar vegetasi mangrove tetap dalam  proporsi yang seimbang.  Mempertimbangkan begitu besarnya peran mangrove secara ekologi menyebabkan harus segera dilakukan kegiatan penanaman kembali pada habitat mangrove yang telah rusak. Kegiatan ini akan dilaksanakan dengan melibatkan dosen, mahasiswa, dan kelompok pengelola setempat. Hasil pengabdian adalah telah tertanamnya bibit pohon mangrove di area terdampak, serta terjalinnya kerjasama dengan kelompok pengelola sumberdaya setempat untuk pemantauan pohon  mangrove yang telah ditanam.
