Boosting Vocabulary Mastery Through TED Talks Video: Students’ Perceptions and Challenges
Full text linkAudio-visual content has emerged in the current digital era as a powerful tool for enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery. This study explores the perceptions and challenges students encounter when using TED Talks as a medium of learning English vocabulary. Employing a qualitative research design, this study collected the data through open-ended questions. Fifteen students in the third-grade XII of MAN 2 Yogyakarta participated as the respondents. The data was qualitatively analysed by explaining every respondent's answers based on each theme. Furthermore, the respondents ‘answers were analysed using the interactive model theory proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994). The finding revealed that students perceived positive view on the TED Talks video by appreciating their engaging content and authentic language exposure available. However, several challenges were identified including difficulties in understanding various accents, the fast pace of some talks, and the complexity of specific vocabulary. Despite these obstacles, students found strategies to overcome these challenges such as repeated viewing of videos, using subtitles, and additional vocabulary practice. This study inferred that TED Talks can be a valuable resource for enhancing learning vocabulary, and provides adequate support and supplementary learning materials for learners. This study offers insights for educators on effectively integrating TED Talks video into classroom practice, and language curricula, and suggests directions for future similar studies

Building bridges: Content-teacher and language-teacher collaboration in South African high schools
Full text linkIn educational contexts where learners are instructed in a language different from their mother tongues, governments develop strategies to improve their proficiency in that language. This study examined how content and language integration was carried out in educational settings where English is used as the medium of instruction, focusing on multilingual South African high schools as the research sites to understand this phenomenon. The study included six participants grouped into three pairs, consisting of English teachers and content teachers from Economics and Life Sciences. Data were collected through lesson plan analysis, classroom observations and semi-structured interviews and analysed using inductive thematic analysis. The findings reveal three key themes: collaboration alignment for content and language learning; lesson planning collaboration; and collaboration focused on developing learning materials. The study suggests moving away from deficit-oriented approaches in content and language teaching and adopting an asset-based orientation that recognises and values learners’ strengths
Analysis of Steel Bridge Frame Reinforcement Using External Prestressing Method Due to Moving Loads
Full text linkBridge reinforcement with external prestressing method is a proven effective approach to overcome damage in strengthening bridge structures. This method uses the installation of prestressing cables outside the steel frame of the bridge to increase the strength and stability of the structure. The bridge structure is made with the guidelines of SNI 1725: 2016 standard steel frame of class A bridges, using IWF and H Beam steel, with a plate thickness of 20 mm with a span length of 60 meters, a width of 9.13 meters and a height of 6.3 meters. The structural analysis of this study uses the SAP2000 v22 software program. In this study, 3 prestressing cable tensions were compared on the reinforcement of the bridge frame with the external prestressing method. And a loading simulation was carried out which could provide a response in the form of strain due to moving loads and a bridge structure response that was reduced by approximately 50% from the deflection force on the steel frame reference bridge if given a moving load. Choosing a bridge that has the lowest settlement. The review point is determined for the comparison of deflection at point object 7 and joint object U3. The Type E cable-stayed bridge has the lowest results in percentage, about 46.68% for a speed of 40 km/h, 48.60% for a vehicle speed of 50 km/h and 49.91% for a vehicle speed of 60 km/h, indicating that this bridge has the best analysis performance among the cable-stayed bridges analyzed

Assessment of the Benefits and Challenges of Digital Braille Assistive Devices in Promoting Inclusivity of Learners with Visual Impairment in Kenya
No full textThis study focuses on assessment of the benefits and challenges of digital braille assistive devices in relation to their relevance in promoting inclusivity of learners with visual impairment (VI) in special and integrated education. The study was guided by universal design for learning and assistive technology theories. The study adopted a descriptive survey design within a mixed methodology approach. The study was restricted within 2 institutions in Kenya: a private University (mainstream) and a special school for the blind. The two key study objectives were to assess the benefits of digital assistive devices for the learners with VI in relation to promoting inclusivity in education. Secondly, the study examined the challenges learners face in using these devices in special and mainstream education. The findings show that using digital braille assistive devices for visually impaired learners offer significant benefits. The key benefits include promoting educational access, learner’s independence and enhancing learning opportunities. However, several barriers remain inadequately addressed. Barriers include adequate device access, device maintenance/repair delays, limited training, and inadequate support systems. The study underscores the importance of increasing device availability, improving maintenance and support, and adequate training for both learners and educators. Despite the challenges, the devices' potential to improve inclusivity and foster independence is evident. The study recommends that the government should develop and implement a national policy that ensures adequate availability of digital braille assistive devices. Schools should establish robust policy and support systems for use of assistive technologies, and regular training for both students and educators
