2024-01-05T04:02:45+00:00

The term "ESP" refers to a method of teaching English for any possible goal. It addresses with determining the curriculum for a scenario where students are grouped as homogeneous and have a common set of requirements. Thus, the goal of this study is to investigate the state of ESP teaching and learning in a third-year graduate student class at the University of Murni Teguh, Department of Economics. The researcher makes an effort to determine whether the ESP method of teaching EFL is used in this particular class. In order to do this, a representative sample of 50 students was selected at random and joined by their ESP instructor, a specialist in the same department. Two study tools have been used to gather data: a structured interview with the teacher and a questionnaire for the students. Consequently, a quantitative and qualitative analysis has been conducted. The findings showed that students are taught in general English with little consideration for their academic and professional demands (once they are employed). Instead, there is a strong emphasis on learning economic concepts and translating brief texts into Arabic, the students' native tongue. The ESP teacher also mentioned how he sensed a need for particular "teacher training." The findings may help ESP teachers understand what is actually required in this particular situation. Therefore, depending on the needs of each specific subject, ESP approaches should be used to teach English.

In Islam, women also possess rights similar to those of men, though certain matters differ. This discrepancy is attributed to the primary functions and responsibilities assumed by men. The following are examples of rights afforded to women in Islamic law: the right to receive an education, the right to receive a dowry and maintenance, the right to initiate divorce in instances where continuation of the marriage would result in harm, the right to inherit and the right to claim material compensation. In civil law, women's rights include: Women are accorded equal status with men with respect to their rights.

2024-06-18T16:45:01+00:00

Indonesia has two-thirds of its territory covered by sea, making it rich in marine resources, especially fish. According to the Census of Marine Life, there are around 950 thousand species that inhabit the world's oceans, but only about one percent have been exploited. In Indonesia itself, FishBase records around 4743 types of fish, making it the country with the largest Marine Mega-Biodiversity in the world (Jabbar, 2018). There are two main problems in the fisheries sector in Indonesia: economics and biology. Biological problems include threats to the sustainability of fish stocks, while economic problems are related to the lack of profits obtained by fishermen from catches and sustainable use of fish resources (Akoit and Nalle, 2018). The Archipelago Fisheries Port (PPN) plays an important role in supporting fishing activities in the Indian Ocean, including in Palabuhanratu, West Java. Palabuhanratu is an important location for landing various types of fish, especially large pelagic fish such as tuna and skipjack, as well as swanggi fish (Priacanthusmacracanthus), which experienced a significant increase in production from 573 tonnes in 2013 to 18,730 tonnes in 2015 (Sadewi et al., 2018). Swanggi fish is a demersal fish with high economic value that is in demand by the public and is an export commodity to Korea, Japan and China. However, high demand results in overfishing and a decline in adult fish stocks (Jabbar et al., 2017). This research is descriptive quantitative research which aims to measure the level of variables through samples. The analytical methods used include analysis of biological aspects of swanggifish, catch analysis methods, and sustainability analysis methods using Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries (RAPFISH). It is hoped that the results of this research can provide a sustainable shrimp resource management strategy based on the data obtained.

The research applied a quantitative descriptive method by analyzing questionnaire instruments distributed to 35 elementary school teacher education students who took microteaching courses in the fourth semester. Data collection used a closed-ended questionnaire instrument and focus group discussions to identify teaching skills that are still needed by students to be trained through peer teaching. The results of the data analysis showed that the average student perception of peer-teaching reached an average of > 4 (figure 1) out of 12 questionnaire questions. This figure indicates a good category. The results of the focus group discussion obtained data that what still needs to be trained through peer teaching is adjusting learning strategies to the learning material and the background of students and eliminating the fear of making mistakes that make them insecure in front of their peers. Based on the results of data analysis, it is concluded that students' perceptions are good about peer teaching and can help them equip teaching skills as prospective elementary school teachers. However, it is still necessary to add skill training through peer teaching about adjusting learning strategies to the material being taught and eliminating self-confidence. From the findings of this study, it is suggested that to prepare the competence of elementary school teachers through micro-teaching courses, the peer teaching method needs to be maintained but it needs to be added to the content of skills that are still needed by students, namely preparing lesson plans.

2024-06-05T16:43:38+00:00

This study explores the factors influencing social self-efficacy and alexithymia among adolescents, with a focus on gender, educational level, and sibling composition. A sample of 234 adolescents was analysed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analyses. The results indicate no significant gender differences in social self-efficacy and alexithymia. However, significant differences were observed across educational levels, with college students exhibiting higher social self-efficacy and lower alexithymia compared to younger students. Additionally, adolescents with siblings demonstrated higher social self-efficacy and lower alexithymia than only children. The study also found significant negative correlations between social self-efficacy and the subscales of alexithymia (Difficulty Identifying Feelings, Difficulty Describing Feelings, and Externally-Oriented Thinking), suggesting that higher social self-efficacy is associated with better emotional awareness and expression. These findings highlight the importance of tailored interventions that address both social and emotional skills, particularly for younger adolescents and only children.
