Language Learning and Technology: Refining Academic Writing Classes
Academic writing is commonly identified as one of the most difficult skills for university students. It requires expertise in linguistic accuracy, critical thinking, and conformity to rhetorical conventions. Traditional writing instruction, however, often emphasizes mechanical correctness and end products at the expense of the recursive, reflective, and social nature of the writing process. The article discusses how the integration of technology supports the teaching of academic writing by offering scaffolding for student learning, supporting collaborative work, encouraging reflective practices, and advocating a process-based approach to teaching. By referencing current trends in language acquisition and education, the article highlights how digital tools, such as grammar-checking software, online collaborative environments, and electronic portfolios, reshape students' experiences with writing tasks. It also identifies barriers like the risk of over-reliance on automated feedback, inequalities of digital access, and the need for teacher preparation in digital methods of teaching. The discussion concludes that technology, when applied reflectively and pedagogically, not only enhances the teaching of academic writing but prepares students for ongoing learning and effective professional communication in the age of digital technologies.

Integration of Local Wisdom and Leadership in Community Empowerment Toward Sustainable Circular Economy in Sumowono
This study explores a model of integrating local wisdom into community empowerment as a pathway for transformation towards a sustainable circular economy in Sumowono District, Semarang Regency. Using a qualitative narrative approach, this study analyses how transformational leadership, community empowerment, local wisdom, and collective consciousness transformation interact in creating systemic change towards sustainability. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with community leaders, farmer group leaders, and practitioners of local wisdom, as well as participant observation to understand the socio-cultural context (Creswell & Poth, 2018). The findings show that the Sumowono community has practised circular economy principles in the form of intercropping systems, reuse of organic materials, and community-based resource management. Effective transformational leadership is collective and rooted in communal values, acting as a cultural broker that translates modern concepts into the local cultural context. Authentic community empowerment occurs through the recognition and revitalisation of existing local capacities, rather than the transfer of capacities from outside. The transformation of collective consciousness facilitates a paradigm shift from a linear mindset to circular thinking through collective learning and spiritual reflection. The holistic integration of these four elements creates a synergistic model that is resilient and sustainable, with multiple feedback loops that reinforce each other (Ostrom, 2015; Berkes, 2018).

Participatory Action Research on Handicraft Training for PKK Women to Enhance Skills, Strengthen Local Entrepreneurship and Support SDGs
The empowerment of rural communities, particularly women, plays a crucial role in enhancing family welfare through creative economic activities while contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study focuses on the members of the PKK women’s group in Sentul Barat Hamlet, Tiru Lor Village, Kediri Regency, who demonstrated high enthusiasm for community activities but lacked skills connected to productive economic practices. The objective of this program was to improve the technical skills and creativity of PKK mothers through training in handicraft production, specifically bouquet arrangements made from snacks and kitchen spices. The research adopted a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, emphasizing active involvement of the community in needs assessment, program planning, implementation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, focus group discussions, and direct practice sessions. The training engaged 13 participants and achieved a 100% completion rate, with all participants successfully producing at least two handicraft products of marketable quality. The program also fostered collaboration between the academic team, local government, and the community, although time constraints limited the exploration of marketing and branding strategies. The findings suggest that PAR-based training effectively enhances women’s skills, stimulates creativity, and opens opportunities for microeconomic empowerment. In conclusion, the initiative demonstrates the potential for community-based handicraft training to strengthen local entrepreneurship, support sustainable economic development, and directly contribute to SDG 5 (gender equality) and SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth).

The Use Of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Writing Descriptive Text: A Case Study of 10th Grades at SMK Islam 1 Blitar
This qualitative case study investigates the integration of AI writing tools into descriptive text instruction for 10th-grade students at SMK Islam 1 Blitar. Data were collected through interviews with one English teacher and three students, classroom observations of writing lessons, and analysis of student writing. The teacher deliberately incorporated ChatGPT, Grammarly, and an automated writing evaluation (AWE) platform into lesson plans. Students used ChatGPT for idea generation (brainstorming) and vocabulary support, and then paraphrased the AI outputs to compose initial drafts. During revision, students applied Grammarly for grammar and word-choice corrections, while the teacher provided feedback and originality checks. The findings indicate that AI-assisted writing enabled students to produce more detailed, well-organized descriptive texts and increased their confidence. However, technical issues (e.g. slow internet, limited devices) and ethical concerns (risk of copying AI output) were observed. The teacher addressed these challenges through backup offline tasks and strict guidelines (requiring paraphrasing of AI output). Overall, careful teacher-guided use of AI tools enhanced the writing process and outcomes. The study provides practical insights into planning, implementing, and evaluating AI-enhanced writing instruction in vocational high schools.

KaburAjaDulu and Mental Health: Youth Expression through Digital Media in Indonesia
Digital media has rapidly transformed into a central arena for Indonesian youth to express their voices, confront social realities, and negotiate their identities. The viral hashtag #KaburAjaDulu illustrates how young people channel collective frustrations regarding economic hardship, educational uncertainty, and political disillusionment into public digital conversations. At the same time, the movement reveals a growing awareness of mental health challenges, where feelings of stress, anxiety, and burnout are articulated through online narratives of “escape.” This study explores how #KaburAjaDulu functions not only as a symbolic protest but also as a communicative practice that connects youth, shapes perceptions, and fosters solidarity. Using discourse analysis of Twitter/X and TikTok content, supported by interviews with active participants, the research examines how digital storytelling, memes, and viral trends frame discontent while simultaneously constructing informal support networks. The findings indicate that #KaburAjaDulu contributes to destigmatizing mental health by normalizing conversations on emotional well-being and resilience in public digital spaces. This study concludes that the movement should be understood as more than a temporary online trend; it exemplifies how digital platforms cultivate new forms of social mobilization, youth empowerment, and community engagement in contemporary Indonesia.

Venturimeter Booster Design In Irrigation Fertigation System Drops
The use of a venturimeter in a drip irrigation fertigation system is very helpful in the plant cultivation process. Apart from being effective and more efficient, providing nutrients to plants directly mixed with water media will facilitate the absorption of these nutrients. Fertilization in drip irrigation systems has obstacles, namely frequent clogging or crusting in the emitter, this is caused by the chemical solution flowing through a series of pipes that are not completely finished. Chemical nutrient solutions that are not smooth can cause the emitter to become easily clogged. The use of a venturimeter in the fertigation system or fertilization in the drip irrigation system is expected to help the homogeneity of the solution and the distribution of nutrients that are complete and not left in the hose, thereby reducing the risk of clogging the chemical solution in the emitter. The use of an appropriate venturimeter will facilitate the maintenance of the drip irrigation system series so that fertigation runs smoothly and precisely according to plant needs. The tools used in this study include grinders, hand drills, nipples, 1 inch HDPE hoses, 5 mm HDPE hoses, emitters, drip sticks, sandpaper, meters, manometers, 1 inch filters, 1 inch venturimers, scissors, measuring cups, drill bits, nails, 10 bar pressure gauges , flow controllers , sandpaper, manual saws, water pumps, NPK sensors. The materials used in this study were 1 inch PVC pipe, T pipe connector, L pipe connector, nutrient solution container, polyethylene (PE) plastic hose, pipe glue, stop valve, wooden batten, wooden rafters, PVC glue, red chili seeds, mulch, NPK, KNO3, SP36, manure, humic acid, trichoderma. The results showed that the average ventrumeter discharge was largest at valve opening 4 with an average of 695 ml / minute. The average venturimeter pressure was largest at valve opening 4 of 1.7 bar. The highest average output solubility level was obtained at valve opening 4 with a value of 590ppm. The larger the valve opening, the greater the discharge and nutrient solubility level.

Principal’s Role at SDI Ma’arif Blitar in Preserving Javanese Culture amid Social Change
Education plays a crucial role in shaping individual competencies, particularly in mastering English and Javanese idioms. Amidst social change, there are challenges in preserving and maintaining local cultural values such as Javanese culture, which are eroded by the influence of social media that often presents Western traditions inconsistent with Javanese religious and cultural norms. This study aims to analyze the role of school principals in internalizing Javanese culture through Javanese Day. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study collected data through observation, interviews, and documentation studies at SDI Ma'arif Blitar. The findings indicate that the principal carries out four key roles relevant to Talcott Parsons' structural-functional perspective: Bearers of Normative Expectations who establish and enforce school rules; Formal Socialization Agents who internalize values through policies; Sanction and Reward Providers to manage student compliance; and Systemic Balance Keepers who maintain school stability. These roles are crucial in shaping a generation that is globally competitive yet remains firmly rooted in local culture

Engaging Learners through Digital Game-Based English Instruction: A Practical Insight from a Language Course Owner-Educator Aesthetic Bimbel
In the current digital era, English educators are challenged to design lessons that engage young learners and sustain their interest. While digital game-based learning (DGBL) has been widely studied in formal classroom contexts, there remains a gap in exploring its implementation within non-formal learning settings such as tutoring programs or private learning centers. This paper reflects on the author’s dual role as both an English tutor and the owner of a learning center, highlighting practical insights into the use of DGBL for vocabulary enrichment and speaking practice. The study is significant not only for bridging the research gap but also for providing practical benefits to tutors and learning centers in understanding learners’ interests, determining appropriate learning frequencies, and balancing direct and indirect explanations beyond the use of applications. Using a reflective narrative approach, the findings reveal that DGBL is effective in enhancing student engagement, fostering active participation, and expanding vocabulary. Furthermore, the approach supports up-to-date learning practices aligned with technological development. The implication of this study is the provision of practical guidance for English tutors in non-formal contexts to integrate DGBL into their teaching strategies, thereby enriching learning experiences and outcomes.
