No full textThis paper aims at sharing merits of wiki as one of fruitful educational technology in facilitating students to improve their writing’s performance in language classrooms. In implementing, this paper recommends CBLM with the stages are combination of positive input from the previous study: (1) training of using wiki, (2) grouping the students, (3) drafting, (4) revising, (5) editing, and (6) publishing. The results reveal Wiki and its merits can encourage students to be independent learners because they are able to effectively participate and contribute in writing their essays by sharing ideas, editing, and supporting to each other. The teachers, especially in Indonesia, can implement wiki by using CBLM in all level of students. However, teachers must adjust and consider some important aspects before utilize it in the classroom depend on students’ need and classroom environment
Globalization VS Localization of English: Should EFL Learners Lose their Identity?
No full textGlobalization means the spread of English which is used as a paramount consideration in communicating around the world. EFL teachers in Indonesia intently encourage their students to have good English as a survival tool in this modern era by teaching them standard English. In the same time, localization of English appeared in the process of acquiring or learning English when the students have their own way in using English by mixing it with their own culture. This issue is crucial to be discussed since Indonesian EFL learners spread in various cultures, which affect their identity in using foreign language. This paper aims to deliver some ways in bridging between globalization and localization of English by considering the following aspects: (1) deciding students’ purpose in learning English, (2) delineating cultural aspects to be included in teaching process, (3) incorporating cultural aspects in teaching material, (4) implementing, and (5) evaluating the material. This framework can be consideration for teachers in designing the teaching material to face globalization and localization issue in EFL teaching
A PROBLEM AMONG EFL: CAN HIGH-PROFICIENCY STUDENTS USE PROPER DISAGREEMENT STRATEGIES AS NATIVE SPEAKERS DO?
No full textThis research aims to find out the correlation between students’ proficiency and disagreement strategies. The study involved the fourth-semester students of English Education Study Program. The instruments of this research were English language proficiency test to get the data of students’ language proficiency scores and Discourse Completion Task (DCT) to get the data of students’ disagreement statements. The correlation between language proficiency test scores and DCT’s scores was significant with the coefficient correlation (r count ) was 0,264 which was higher than R table 5% (0.235). The coefficient correlation shows that the correlation was positive. However, the strength of correlation was weak. The results implied that there was a correlation between students’ proficiency and disagreement strategies but the language proficiency did not indirectly affect the disagreement strategies of students because the correlation was weak.Â
Development of soft skill-based interactive media on thematic learning
No full textAn interactive learning strategy was a method or technique the teacher used when presenting learning materials where the teacher became the main actor in creating an educative interactive situation. The objective of this study was to create interactive media for theme learning that focuses on the development of soft skills and to evaluate its quality and usefulness. This study used Borg and Gall\u27s Research and Development (R&D) approach, with four parsimonious stages of development: analysis, design, development, and implementation. This research used observation and interview sheets as data collection methods. The assessment of the interactive media\u27s validity, quality, and efficacy based on soft skills was conducted through instrument and product validation methods involving media specialists and reviews from instructors and students. The study showed that students and teachers rated interactive learning media based on soft skills in the high-quality category. In addition, soft skill-based learning media was considered effective in fulfilling the criteria for assessing teacher activity in learning media, namely in the very effective category. It was concluded that the soft skill-based interactive learning media developed in this study were valid, high quality, and effective, so they were suitable for use in Penggalang 4 public elementary schools. We recommend that schools implement interactive media based on soft skills so that students become active and critical learners. Future research can adapt our model to other educational levels or domains, such as employee business development

No full textAbstractPringgabaya is one of the districts on the East Lombok. There are a lot of potential developments on the districts that have been not explored yet. One of the most potential developments is the sustainable and renewable energy development based on sea waves. This mega project near to reach an agreement among the stakeholder and might be execute soon. However, it is need to consider improving added value for the community that affected by the projects. The SIDa development is a nomenclature on the Ministry of Research and Higher Education Indonesia (Indonesia: Menristekdikti) that aimed to improve the added value with stakeholder (University-Government-Private) initiative. One of the recommendations is to build museum of energy as a tourism object (DTW) that further will be develop into multipurpose tourism activities that benefit community in Pringgabaya
Penggunaan Minyak Jagung Halus Sebagai Bahan Baku Biodiesel
No full textEnergy is needed in carrying out economic activities, both for consumption and production activities in various economic sectors[1]–[5]. Energy use in Indonesia is still dominated by the use of non-renewable energy[6]–[8]. However, the increasing population in Indonesia can enable increased energy use[9]–[11]. The increased use of non-renewable energy can have an impact on depleting resource reserves [12], [13]. The need for fuel and LPG in the last 5 years has always increased[14]–[16]. The average annual increase in fuel and LPG consumption is 3% and 5% with consumption in 2019 of 75 KL and 7.8 MT. To meet these needs, it is obtained from domestic production and partly from imports [17]. In RUEN, the government has actually targeted that by 2025 there will be no more fuel imports[18].
To reduce dependence on fossil energy, biodiesel can be used as alternative energy. Biodiesel is renewable energy, which is considered the most feasible for replacing fuel oil [19]. Biodiesel can be produced from micro and macroalgae, animal fats, vegetable oils, food plants, and lignocellulosic materials [20]. Vegetable oil is the main raw material for biodiesel derived from plant extracts [21]. One of the efforts to utilize the results of vegetable oil is the development of corn biodiesel[22]–[24]. Corn oil is a triglyceride composed of glycerol and vegetable fatty acids, while the rest is non-oil materials such as ash, dyes, or wax [1], [25].
In this discussion, of course, we will discuss the use of refined corn oil as a raw material for biodiesel. This discussion will explain technical matters, starting from the definition of biodiesel to the process of corn oil as a raw material for biodiesel. Of course, this is a development from the previous discussion.
So the issues that will be discussed regarding, what affects the cetane number and oxidation stabilization on the physical and chemical properties of biodiesel, as well as how to process corn oil into fuel.
This discussion aims to determine the factors that affect the cetane number and oxidation stabilization on the physical and chemical properties of biodiesel, as well as to find out how to process corn oil into fuel.
The benefits derived from this discussion are order to be able to find out the factors that influence the cetane number and oxidation stabilization on the physical and chemical properties of biodiesel, enrich previous theoretical studies, especially those related to the processing of corn oil as fuel, as well as information material for further research in the development of corn oil as a fuel source.
Avoiding that the delimitation is not too broad, then in this study, there are several factors that need attention. Factors that need to be considered are: paying attention to the number of requirements needed before producing biodiesel, understanding the raw materials that will be needed for production, and ensuring in advance that the biodiesel produced is really suitable for use
