Local culture-based learning is potential learning with integrates and emphasizes culture locally in the learning process. Learning through culture could be raised up of students’ appreciation for the local culture. This study potentials to improve students’ interesting, enrich vocabulary, metacognitive, and four basic language skills for younger learners “it is time to speak, it is time read, it is time to read, and the last one, time to listen. The subjects of this study were students’ primary school level, less than ten years consist of 20 boys and 14 girls, totaling is 34 students. This study used descriptive qualitative techniques in describing the improvement experienced by students. And the data used of this research were gathered by 1) observation; 2) interview; 3) documentation. The results of this study showed that 20 students felt interesting in learning English, 10 students showed progress in vocabulary, and the rest did not show any progress, and, this is influenced by the internal factors of the students. It is also recommended that puzzle local culture-based can be used as a media to motivate young learners in learning English. By doing this, the teacher could assess not only their interest to learn English but also their understanding of their local cultures.
The perception of learners can be used for evaluating task-based language teaching development. However, during the technology-mediated task-based language teaching (TBLT), learners faced a few difficulties. Thus, this study aimed to investigate learners’ perceptions of task difficulties in technology-mediated (TBLT). To collect data, the study used a quantitative design with an open-ended questionnaire, and, involved two hundred learners as participants who came from different departments at the university. The results strongly confirmed that incorporating technology into TBLT leads learners to face some difficulties in (1) understanding the meaning of the task, (2) practical instruction in doing tasks, (3) applying new technology to explore profound tasks further, (4) lack of direct lecturer feedback on student tasks, (5) performance assessment, (6) addressing learners’ needs, (7) goal orientation, (8) digital literacy, building knowledge, intellectual, and behavior, and (9) school and curriculum rules. Furthermore, the study preferred some strategies to solve learners' difficulties in TBLT, such as managing teaching materials to become easier and more interesting, referring technology integration to learners’ ability, implementing bring your own device (BYOD), improving classroom assessment, teachers broadening technology-mediated, task-based learning internships, and facilitating learners with compatible technology tools and stable internet connection.
Learning environmental pollution in the Problem-based learning (PBL) model allows students to improve their science process skills. This research is quasi-experimental due to students were remaining in their classes. In the experimental class, PBL models and control classes were given conventional models. The sample was chosen by simple cluster random sampling technique. Before be implemented, the research instrument was tested for its validity and reliability. Data analysis used descriptive and inferential techniques. Descriptive techniques are used to see of sample representation. Inferential techniques are used to see normality and homogeneous data. Descriptive analysis results show that the score of all indicators of science process skills consists of: observing, interpreting, predicting, using devices and materials, applying concepts, planning experiments and communicating quantitatively is higher in the PBL model group than the conventional model group. The inferential analysis results show that the data obtained is normally distributed and homogeneous. One way ANOVA test results in a significance value = 0.033 < α = 0.05, H0 is rejected. There is a significant effect of the PBL model on science process skills in learning about environmental pollution.
Speaking has an essential role in students’ performance in the English language subject. This study investigates 30 English language students who were given video in the experimental class. The results show that there is an improvement of participants’ English-speaking performance which is indicated by the increase of scores between pre-test and post-test through four speaking components, such as fluency, precision, lexical, and syntactical. The most significant increase was found in the precision aspect with pre-test value of 1.00 and post-test value of 3.07. The results also revealed that both written and verbal communication can be improved by using this method of video integrated with Bloom’s taxonomy.
