Vocabulary is one of the most important language components in learning the English language. A vocabulary is several English words that are taught to students in the teaching and learning process which goes hand in hand with all four English skills, especially listening. By increasing vocabulary, students’ ability for better understanding in listening, speaking, reading, and writing will likely increase. The more they listen, the more words they will add to their mastering vocabulary. Moreover, many kinds of media may be used to exercise students’ ability nowadays, which include music, video, movies, etc. English movies can provide a great chance for students to learn English vocabulary by listening. This could happen because in watching movies students often hear new words that they may never hear before. The instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The result showed that by watching English Movie they could add some vocabularies to their memory through listening and watching the scene in the English Movie.

Mastery of English grammar for students in English education departments has a dual purpose, namely to improve their ability to communicate in English fluently and accurately, and to prepare them for becoming English teachers capable of explaining aspects of the English language. Thus, the English grammar course series is expected to equip students with the ability to use the language at the same time as explaining elements of the English language. This investigation aims to improve the learning, learning process, and the results of English grammar courses by integrating the deductive method and holistic assessment approach. This consists of assessment for learning (AfL), assessment as learning (AaL), and assessment of learning (AoL). The study was conducted among 72 fourth-semester students in the English education department at the University of Mataram. Data were collected using various techniques such as tests, observations, portfolios, and documentation, and were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. From the analysis it was concluded that (1) the materials of EG were designed to fulfil the teaching and learning process by integrating the deductive method and the holistic assessment approach, with the proportion of AfL and AaL higher than that of AoL; (2) the integration produced a significant improvement in the TOEFL test (SWE section), with an increase of 63.24 points – from an average 388.84 on the pre-test to 452.01 on the post-test; (3) students responded positively to both the model used and the implementation of the deductive method and holistic assessment. The practical implication of this research is that those teaching grammar in English education need to consider applying holistic assessment in both design and implementation.

ABSTRAKPenggunaan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran merupakan hal yang selalu digunakan. Di era industri 4.0 guru dituntut memiliki kemampuan yang cukup dalam mengikuti perkembangan teknologi. Pembelajaran yang berfokus kepada proses tatap muka harus sudah diintegrasi dengan blended-learning. Kondisi ini membuat Google sebagai salah satu web tool terbesar memperkenalkan Google Classroom (GC) pada tahun 2014. Adanya GC diharapkan bisa menjadi solusi untuk permasalahan seperti kurangnya jam pelajaran mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris ditingkat SMP. Namun sayangnya masih banyak guru yang masih belum mengetahui tentang kebermanfaatan GC. Sehingga melalui pengabdian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran yang holistik terkait dengan pengunaan GC khususnya dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Lebih jauh, pengabdian ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa inggris siswa yang meliputi kemampuan menyimak (listening), berbicara (speaking), membaca (reading), dan menulis (writing). Metode pengabdian dilaksanakan ada empat tahapan yaitu: a) tahapan analisis, b) tahapan penyusunan materi , c) tahapan pelaksanaan, dan d) tahapan penyusunan laporan kegiatan. Adapun hasil dari pengabdian ini adalah semua guru peserta belum mengenal GC, sehingga guru sangat antusias dan tertarik dengan penggunaan GC. Guru mengetahui flatform yang dapat mereka gunakan dalam pembelajaran yang berintegrasi dengan blended learning. Guru dapat lebih mudah untuk mengelola tugas kelas dengan cepat dan memberikan umpan balik kepada siswa secara efektif.  Akan tetapi, fasilitas seperti ketersediaan koneksi yang baik juga harus didukung demi lancarnya penggunaan GC dalam pembelajaran.Kata kunci: Google Classroom, blended-learning, teknologi industri 4.0 ABSTRACTTechnology is always used in teaching and learning process. In industry 4.0, teachers are asked to develop skill in using technology. Learning focuses not only in the classroom but also it should be integrated with blended learning. This situation makes google as one biggest web tool to introduce google classroom (GC) in 2014, GC is expected to be solution to solve the problems such as limitation of time in learning. Unfortunately, many teachers do not know about GC. So, this community services program is expected to help teachers in using GC, especially English teachers. Besides, it is also to improve English language skills, such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. There are four methods of community services program, they are: a) analysis step, b) material arrangement, c) implementation, d) report. The result of community services shows that all teachers as participants do not know about GC, so they are really excited in using GC. Teachers know GC and they can implement in learning and it can be integrated learning. Teachers are easier to manage the class and help teachers to assess the assignment effectively. Nevertheless, the good connection should be determined to support the implementation of using GC.Kata kunci: Google Classroom, blended-learning, Industry technology 4.0

Lecture courses in the English Language Education Study Program of STKIP Setiabudhi Rangkasbitung are still conducted in face-to-face class, so the students who do not attend lectures cannot know the pronunciation material at that time, because the Pronunciation course is a practical course in the English pronunciation system. The E-Learning Pronunciation is built so that lectures can be carried out anywhere and anytime without reducing the quality of the teaching and learning process. Therefore, the students who are left behind can continue to follow the Pronunciation course material, as well as habituating students in utilizing communication and information technology. E-Learning Pronunciation is important to be built to improve the ability of students’ pronunciation when doing distance learning, so that students are clearer and more firm in understanding Pronunciation so that there are no errors in English pronunciation. Participants in this study were first semester students of English education study programs. This study uses an experimental research design with the Prototype System development method and system of testing uses Black box testing.

Working with English learners for many years, gives you the opportunity to encounter linguistic obstacles that they face while learning English language as a foreign language. Additionally, teaching for 13 years and observing the learning process, it enables you to recognize the students’ needs and at the same time, detect linguistic mistakes that they make, while practicing the target language. During my experience as a teacher, in terms of teaching and learning verbs in general and its grammatical categories in specific, it is noticed that Albanian learners find it relatively difficult the correct use of verbs in context and even more confusing the equivalent use of verbs in Albanian. Since verbs present an important part of speech, this study aims to investigate several differences and similarities between grammatical categories of verbs in English and Albanian. As a result, the Albanian learners of English language will be able to identify some of the major differences and similarities between the grammatical categories of verbs in English and Albanian; overcome the usual mistakes; gain the necessary knowledge regarding verbs and use them properly in English and Albanian.

This manuscript aims to present possibilities for developing mobile and smart platforms and systems in teaching and learning the English language for engineering professionals in different engineering study programs. Foreign language teaching and learning processes are based on traditional methods, while in engineering and technical sciences, teaching and learning processes include different digital platforms. Therefore, the following hypotheses were stated. (H1) It is possible to develop a software solution for mobile platforms that can have a higher level of interactivity, and it may lead to better learning outcomes, especially in the field of adopting engineering vocabulary. (H2) Implementation of the developed solution increases motivation for learning and leads to a higher level of satisfaction with the learning process as a part of the quality of life. (H3) Students who have digital and mobile platforms in the learning process could have higher achievement values. This manuscript presents software application development and its implementation in teaching English as a foreign language for engineering and technical study programs on the bachelor level.

Second language learners especially in English language need further language support in view of the fact that they operate on the performance level of language use as against competence. Achieving success in the teaching and learning of a second language such as English is determined by a number of linguistic and nonlinguistic factors such as the attitude and language skills of the learners, the teacher’s innovativeness and competence, effective teaching methods and materials such as visual, audio-visual aids and media aids to language learning. This research is motivated by the problem inherent in the traditional teaching methods which is stereotypical, boring with little active students’ engagement in the learning process, which makes knowledge transfer an arduous task. The research represents a shift in language teaching and learning - from the known traditional to a more technological mode of learning- giving way to new technologies in which the media plays a prominent role. The work adopts a qualitative methodology in assessing the role of the media in language teaching and learning both on the part of the students as well the teacher, especially in terms of self-development and innovations. It was discovered that media aids in language learning, facilitates the overall learning process and helps the teacher to transcend his limitations in areas such as pronunciation, vocabulary to be able to guide the students aright. This makes learning an ongoing process rather than a product.

The teaching and learning process (learning) is an activity to carry out the core of education and curriculum at an educational institution. Teaching and learning activities contain various concepts related to the educational mission, educational foundation, and educational goals. In addition, learning is focused on what the lecturer must do as the one who provides learning. The learning process at this time is constrained by the Covid 19 pandemic faced by Indonesia, thus affecting all activities, one of which is Bungo Regency residents, especially in the academic field. Therefore, all learning activities carried out on campus are not allowed and must be done at home or online. One of them is the learning process for the Pancasila Course in the English Education Study Program (PBI), Semester II Year 2020/2021. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods in the form of photos and questionnaires via google forms which are distributed to students through whatsapp groups using 26 PBI second semester students. The results of this study indicate that students have internet signal problems, which are 81%. So the importance of the internet network is to make it easier for students to carry out the learning process effectively, due to the lack of a network.
