The three obligations include education or teaching, research, and community service. Each component of higher education, especially the academic community, is responsible for realizing and implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. Each component of the obligation in the Tri Dharma of higher education must be equipped with various physical evidence, such as documents, learning media, etc. Every University in Indonesia must have a system that can record all evidence of the implementation of the Tri Dharma. Therefore, this study aims to develop software that can help Hamzanwadi University record every progress of the three Tri Dharma components of higher education that the academic community has carried out at Hamzanwadi University, especially Lecturers. The development model used in this study is the Waterfall Development model (Requirements Analysis, Design, Development, Testing, Maintenance), but this study ...

Designed as pre-experimental research with pretest-posttest design, it examined a sample of first semester of English department of STKIP Hamzanwadi Selong in the school year 2014-2015. Random sampling technique was used in determining the sample of the study. Speaking test and analytical scoring rubric were the instruments used to collect the data. Then the data were analyzed by using descriptive statistic and paired sample t-test to test the hypothesis. The result of descriptive statistic analysis revealed that personal dilemma technique is effective for teaching speaking for EFL learners since the mean score of posttest 71.85 was higher than mean score of pretest 61.28. While for hypothesis testing by using paired sample t-test at significance (2-tailed) value level was .000, it was lower than .05. So, it means that the alternative hypothesis of this study...

However, this sudden change of situation made all education systems change in a hurry. The fact that English teachers are more proficient at applying their content and pedagogical knowledge than technological knowledge makes this study aim to determine how willing teachers are to add and apply their TPACK, particularly in TVE at the moment, and also to reveal the effect of willingness to increase TPACK with a willingness to apply TPACK. The respondents in this survey were 43 EFL teachers. The instrument used in collecting data is a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and independent t-tests were used in the quantitative data analysis. The data shows that most Indonesian EFL teachers are at the median le...

Instead, intelligibility, more specifically, global intelligibility, has become a legitimate goal of pronunciation teaching (Moedjito, 2009). However, researchers and practitioners have not reached to the final conclusion of what makes EFL speakers’ utterances more intelligible. This paper is to report a study investigating factors which made EFL speakers’ utterances more intelligible in the context of global intelligibility. In order to achieve the goal, the present researchers used three instruments to collect data: a questionnaire, an in-depth interview, and an assessment of EFL speakers’ utterances from the in-depth interview. The quantitative data from the questionnaire and assessment of EFL speakers’ utterances were submitted to a Pearson’s Product Moment test to assess the correlation coefficient of each independent variable to intelligibility and to...

However, based on the observations made, online learning, especially when carried out synchronously, appears to still be not as optimal as offline learning. This study aims to find out the voices of Indonesian EFL learners on synchronous learning during the covid-19 pandemic. Designed as descriptive qualitative, this study examined 50 students who voluntarily participated as the sampled group. In collecting the data, the researchers used a self-written reflection and questionnaire with four scales that were distributed using Google Form to the participants. The questionnaire was related to respectful attitude, benefits, and obstacles of synchronous learning. All collected data were then analyzed using the sequential explanatory processes. The result of data analysis revealed that Indonesian EFL learners still showed a good respectful attitud...

Even though the course institution is a well-known course institution in Indonesia, these graduates are relatively fast reading and speaking English. However, this word's smooth production was not matched with variations in voice, changes in intonation, and minimal meaning. As a lecturer in the English department, this is also our responsibility. Moreover, these graduates are now having their English course institutions independently. They are required to be able to communicate with their students. It is hoped that the current course institutions, especially in the Selong sub-district, can improve the quality of learning by applying correct public speaking techniques. Therefore, it is necessary to hold public speaking training for tutors at English language course institutions. The service plans carried out are: 1.) Delivery of men...
