The purpose of this research is to investigate and describe the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of tertiary-level EFL students in Indonesia toward reading English. The quantitative method was applied by asking students majoring in English at Brawijaya University to fill out a questionnaire adapted from Wigfield and Guthrie's Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ) (1997). The questionnaire was administered to students from 2018 generations to 2020 generations. Besides that, students’ self-assessment reading value used to measure students’ reading proficiency. In addition, this study also examined the correlation between students' reading motivation and their reading ability. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS program with descriptive statistics to answer research question 1 and Pearson correlation analysis to answer research question 2. The results indicated that students are relative highly extrinsic motivated in reading English. Meanwhile, intrinsic motivation was found to have a significant correlation and extrinsic motivation was found to have a negative correlation with students' reading. Based on these findings, lecturers are expected to increase students' intrinsic motivation to read.

This study describes the macapat song tradition of the Samin people in Bojonegoro. Samin is a community that has a unique culture, one of which is the macapat song tradition. This tradition is one of the cultural representations of the local community. In exploring the values of this tradition, this study uses the folklore theory.

This paper focuses on the user perception of their experience in using the auto-translate feature on social media. A mixed method is employed in this study to gain quantitative and qualitative results and provide a more in-depth understanding of the analysis, with an online questionnaire as the research instrument. In order to reach a broader audience, snowball sampling is used since there are no specific criteria for the subject target. The majority of the respondents are women with bachelor's degrees aged 17-28. There are three aspects of assessment on the questionnaire following Nababan’s theory: accuracy, acceptability, and readability. The findings showed that the result of the auto-translate feature on social media has good accuracy, moderate readability, and is very acceptable. Meanwhile, the shortcomings of this feature are lack of context understanding, mistranslation due to wrong diction, and grammar updates.

The development of Kampung Biru Arema (KBA) to become an educational tourist destination in urban areas is a necessity to support an increase in the community's economy. Development carried out independently has not shown optimal results so that it requires the intervention of various parties to support in realizing the aspirations of the community. The academic community of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences as part of its academic responsibilities takes part in developing the village in the form of community assistance. This community service program is intended to provide assistance to the KBA community to become an integrated educational tourist destination. After conducting a series of preliminary activities, an agreement was reached to develop five (5) tourist points to be further developed as the main sites for KBA tourism activities. The five points were named Tourism Areas: History, Dolanan, Disaster Mitigation, Arema, and Basa Walikan. The stakeholders involved in this program have shown seriousness in the effort to realize the ideal picture of the direction and form of the KBA and committed to carry out development as planned together in the next phase. For this reason, the community service team embodies the shared understanding in a tangible form in the form of visual designs, physical structure in the form of miniature areas developed in tourist areas. In addition, the team also constructed an area at the KBA tourist location as a model for the realization of the visual design.
