Speaking performance is the process of speaking English in front of people. Speaking performance typically refers to the ability of an individual to effectively communicate verbally, whether in a casual conversation, public speaking, or other forms of oral communication. This study investigates the impact of a role-playing strategy on enhancing the speaking performance of students at SMP Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli. Effective speaking performance is crucial in English learning, enabling students to communicate ideas clearly and confidently. However, observations revealed challenges in students' speaking skills, including low practice frequency, limited self-confidence, and pronunciation difficulties. To address these issues, a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was employed over two cycles, involving 30 eighth-grade students. Data were gathered through observations, oral tests, and field notes. Findings indicate that the implementation of the role-playing strategy significantly improved students' speaking performance. In Cycle I, many students struggled with meeting the minimum competency criteria. However, adjustments in Cycle II, such as focused pronunciation practice and confidence-building activities, resulted in notable progress. By the end of the study, the majority of students demonstrated improved communication skills, indicating that the role-playing strategy effectively enhances speaking performance in a classroom setting.

Published: November 2024

This study investigates the perceptions of teachers regarding the implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) within an Islamic educational context, specifically at al-Multazam Islamic Boarding School in Mojokerto, East Java. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research explores the dual benefits of integrating language and content instruction, alongside the challenges unique to bilingual education in a religious setting. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with four teachers, focusing on their experiences, instructional strategies, and attitudes towards CLIL. Thematic analysis revealed four key themes: enhanced teaching engagement, intrinsic motivation for professional development, the teachers' role as language models, and challenges related to language proficiency and resource availability. While teachers expressed a generally positive view of CLIL’s impact on student learning, they also highlighted the need for targeted professional development and culturally relevant resources. The findings provide insights into the potential of CLIL in Islamic educational settings and suggest strategies for more effective bilingual education. These results have implications for educators and policymakers seeking to integrate language learning with content instruction in culturally specific contexts.

Authors: Nurkaidah Nurkaidah , Sunra La , Sofyan Ryan Rayhana
Published: November 2024

This research was conducted at SMKN 10 Jeneponto with Class X.TKJ as the study sample, selected through random sampling. The study explored the implementation of differentiated learning in content, process, and product, focusing on observations and interviews with teachers and students. The observations revealed that most aspects of differentiated learning were implemented, though some areas, such as content differentiation based on students' abilities and the provision of additional materials for students seeking challenges, were not fully realized. The process of differentiated learning, including the use of varied teaching methods, individual guidance, and flexible pacing, was mostly successful. However, the teacher did not provide an assessment rubric tailored to each student’s learning style, focusing instead on students’ overall understanding. Interviews with students indicated that most opted for written products due to time constraints and a preference for easier, quicker tasks. The findings suggest that while differentiated learning is being practiced, further attention to content differentiation and assessment rubrics is needed to fully support diverse student abilities and learning styles.
Enhancing Vocabulary Acquisition Through Contemporary Short Stories: A Study in an Indonesian Islamic Boarding School
Authors: Abdullah Ahmad Rizal
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness of using contemporary short stories to enhance vocabulary acquisition among students in an Islamic boarding school, specifically within the Indonesian context. The research employed an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test to compare the vocabulary development of an experimental group, exposed to contemporary short stories, and a control group that followed traditional memorization techniques. Data collection methods included standardized vocabulary tests and a Likert-scale questionnaire to capture students' perceptions of the literary-based approach. The findings revealed a significant improvement in vocabulary proficiency among the experimental group, suggesting that contemporary short stories provide an engaging and contextually relevant medium for vocabulary learning. The students in the experimental group also demonstrated a positive perception of literary texts, acknowledging them as effective and motivational tools for language acquisition. However, variability in post-test scores highlighted the influence of individual differences, such as reading habits and motivation, on the learning outcomes. This study underscores the potential of integrating culturally relevant literature into English language teaching, especially in educational settings where traditional methods have shown limited success. The implications suggest that literary texts, when carefully selected and appropriately utilized, can offer a holistic approach to vocabulary instruction that goes beyond rote memorization. Future research should explore long-term effects and investigate diverse literary genres to further validate the findings.

Finite element analysis of soil-nailed vertical excavation in fine-grained soils in an urban area
Authors: Lanzieri Daniel Rocha , Avesani Neto José Orlando
Published: November 2024

This paper presents analysis and discussion of an urban vertical excavation, with the soil
nailing technique, in fine-grained soils with high plasticity. The excavation was numerically
evaluated using finite element analysis (FEA) using a 3D finite element model (FEM).
Several field and laboratory soil investigations were conducted, interpreted and used in
the FEA. The FEM model was calibrated using instrumentation and monitoring results
during the soil nailing construction. Analyses were conducted focusing in horizontal
displacements, nail pullout strength, nail tensile load, soil stress state, and tensile load at
the nail head. The results showed that the behavior of the soil nailing retaining wall in
fine-grained soils differs significantly from what is typically reported in the literature for
non-cohesive soils. The high apparent cohesion of the fine-grained soil resulted in good
performance, with reduced horizontal displacements on the face and lower tensile loads
in the nails and at their head.

Abstract
The objective of this opinion was to determine if any wild caught fish species, originating from specific fishing grounds and consumed in the EU/EFTA could be considered free of zoonotic parasites. In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish. As there are multiple fish species and numerous potential parasites, Anisakis sp. was used as an indicator of zoonotic parasites in marine areas. This parasite species is particularly suited as it is common in marine environments, capable of infecting multiple fish species and is the subject of the majority of published studies. On the rare occasion where Anisakis sp. data were not available, or all tests were negative, other parasites such as Contracaecum osculatum (s.l.) and/or Phocanema spp. were considered. In freshwater systems, all zoonotic parasites were investigated. Consumption, import and landing data were used to determine the most relevant fish species and, where possible, the source fishing areas were identified. The most commonly consumed wild caught fish species in the EU/EFTA include tuna, cod, Alaskan pollock, hake, herring, sardines, mackerel, trout and saithe. Although the majority of these fish are caught in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (37) as well as several areas in the Indian Ocean, imported fish may originate from any global fishing areas, with the exception of Antarctica. Based on the data, at least one zoonotic parasite has been reported in at least one fish species in each of the FAO marine fishing areas. Thus, due to relative low fish host specificity of the zoonotic parasites, the panel concluded that all wild caught fish species may be exposed to and infected with zoonotic parasites. The same applies to freshwater fishing areas, with many areas having multiple studies reporting the presence of zoonotic parasites in the wild caught fish species.
Targeted review of the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for dimethomorph
Authors:   European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the European Commission requested EFSA to perform a targeted risk assessment for dimethomorph considering the residue definition and the toxicological reference values (TRVs) derived during the renewal of the approval of dimethomorph and the most recent version of the EFSA Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) (rev.3.1). EFSA confirmed that the current TRVs are sufficiently protective for consumers, including the identified hazard indicative of endocrine disruption. Furthermore, EFSA identified all the codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) and import tolerances that are covered by existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) and performed chronic and acute dietary risk assessment to support risk managers during the decision‐making. A screening of all existing MRLs was also performed. The exposure calculations performed by EFSA showed that the existing MRLs, including the ones based on CXLs or import tolerances, do not lead to consumers intake concerns.
TRASH TO TRANSFORMATION: ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN WASTED BY ANKUR BISEN
Authors: Alex Minu
Published: November 2024

Environmental justice asserts that all individuals have the right to be shielded from environmental harm and to live in a healthy, pollution-free environment. Exploring environmental justice uncovers the many facets of "environment" and "justice." Ankur Bisen’s Wasted: The Messy Story of Sanitation in India, A Manifesto for Change delves into waste management challenges within India’s socio-political landscape. Bisen highlights how caste-based biases have influenced sanitation practices, delaying the recognition of ecological responsibility as a collective social duty. This paper examines how power structures contribute to systemic indifference toward communities compelled to live in unsanitary conditions. It critiques society's apathy and the system's audacity, analyzing the politics of power that shapes public attitudes through a Foucauldian lens on power structures.
Enhancing students’ writing competence and 21st-century skills simultaneously via infographics
Authors: Kara Saban
Published: November 2024

The accelerating pace of technological trends has numerous reflections in education. Accordingly, various tools have been utilized to reap their benefits in English classes. Among others, infographics, which combine text with visually stimulating images, stand out thanks to their advantages, such as being concise and academically rewarding. Although their effects have been studied worldwide, a gap in the literature has been observed in measuring infographics’ effects on developing students’ writing and certain 21st-century skills simultaneously in Iraq. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to gauge the role of infographics in improving university students’ writing competence and 21st-century skills. Having chosen 30 freshman students through convenience sampling from a private university in Erbil, Iraq, in the spring semester of the 2023-2024 academic year, they underwent the treatment spanning 10 weeks about writing essays. Data collection encompassed writing exams, questionnaires, and interviews in this mixed methods research design study. Data were analyzed using either SPSS 29 or NVivo. Control group students received writing instruction based on the common curriculum, whereas experimental group students’ lessons were expanded with infographics.   The findings unleashed that infographic-enriched writing education yielded better results in terms of writing exams with a .002 p-value. Complementary findings also showed that certain 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking and taking initiative, were promoted. On the other hand, the achievement of the control group students was far from noticeable. The findings of this study may have various implications for interested parties who plan to integrate infographics into English classes harmoniously.
Affective affordances in technology-mediated language teaching and learning
Authors: Ahmed Anwar
Published: November 2024

This article focuses on the intersection of technology and pedagogy through the lens of affect/ emotion. It highlights why technology-mediated teaching and learning require new ways of thinking about emotionality in educational contexts. To develop a nuanced understanding of what technology can and cannot do, we can draw insights from the recent affective turn in humanities and the social sciences, which wants us to look at human emotions as socially constructed, biologically rooted, physically distributed, and agentically complex. Building on the recent scholarship on critical affect/ emotion studies, I advocate a view of human emotionality that rejects the idea of emotion as an individual’s internal property or as a total social force outside the individual. The goal of this discussion is to bring more attention to affective affordances that will hopefully provide some pedagogical implications for technology-mediated spaces.

Understanding students' learning styles plays a significant role in determining learning success. One of the efforts to optimize student achievement is facilitating learning activities that align with students' learning styles. Students are no longer preoccupied with understanding their learning styles but are focused on deepening the material. This study aims to describe the learning style profiles of students, and students and lecturers in the learning process can follow up on the results. This study uses a survey research method with a questionnaire instrument containing 54 statements. A learning styles questionnaire prepared based on the opinion of De Poter & Hernacki is used as a data collection tool. Learning styles are identified as visual learning style, auditorial learning style, and kinesthetic learning style. The questionnaire was distributed to students in semesters 2, 4, 6, and 8, totaling 51 students. The data analysis technique used is a descriptive analysis of the questionnaire results. The questionnaire results show that 36% of students have visual and kinesthetic learning styles, 14% have auditory, and 14% are inconsistent. This inconsistency may suggest a balanced learning style, where students do not rely heavily on one learning mode but rather integrate multiple styles depending on the context. Therefore, the Science Education Study Program lecturers should implement a learning model that can facilitate visual and kinesthetic styles, even though the subjects taught are theoretical. Incorporating a variety of teaching methods, such as visual aids, hands-on activities, and auditory discussions, can accommodate the diverse learning preferences of students, leading to a more inclusive and effective learning environment.
Crônicas: Histórias do cotidiano contadas pelos alunos - Volume 3
Authors: Alves Mikaela Vitória Tomaz , Feitosa Pedro Henrique , Pimentel Keizy Rodrigues , Araujo Brendo Gustavo De , Rossemann Felipe da silva , Carvalho Erika Gasparini de , Santos Isaque Mathias Dos
Published: November 2024

As crônicas "Histórias do cotidiano contadas pelos alunos" são o resultado do trabalho dos estudantes da primeira série do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública do Espírito Santo, das turmas 1M1, 1M2, 1M3, 1M4, 1M5 e 1M-Info, realizado em 2024 sob a supervisão do professor de Língua Inglesa e Projeto de Vida, Ronald Gobbi Simões, em curadoria conjunta com as professoras de Língua Portuguesa, Sirleia Rocha Lube e Priscila Gomes Vieira.
Os eventos diários que compõem nossa existência foram materializados nas histórias produzidas pelos alunos. O cotidiano serve como matéria-prima para reflexões sobre o nosso fazer/ser no mundo, exploradas através das experiências pessoais e do olhar singular de cada autor sobre suas vivências e sentimentos. Este trabalho também buscou refletir sobre as relações que estabelecemos com a memória afetiva, seja com pessoas, animais, objetos ou os espaços que ocupamos, transitamos e vivemos.
Cada texto tenta reconstruir pequenos momentos da história pessoal dos alunos, entrelaçando suas experiências subjetivas com elementos do cotidiano, como uma vaca, um ponto de ônibus, um esquilo, uma partida de futebol, um dia de carnaval ou uma rua. Tudo pode se tornar motivo para a escrita de uma crônica. Ao escrever, o olhar sensível do cronista (estudante) nos convida a entrar em seu mundo e reviver sua experiência singular, revelando novas formas de perceber os eventos que vivemos.
Convidamos o leitor a explorar esse universo através das histórias e imagens que selecionamos com muito carinho e cuidado.

Este primeiro volume contém as crônicas escritas pela turma 1M5.
