Mathematics anxiety has long been recognized as a barrier to student achievement, particularly in an era where digital technologies are reshaping education. This study aims to investigate the role of cognitive psychology in modern mathematics learning as a means of reducing math anxiety and enhancing numerical creativity among digital generation learners. Employing an experimental classroom design informed by neuroeducation principles, the research explored how interventions rooted in cognitive regulation, emotional control, and cognitive load management influence student outcomes. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test instruments measuring levels of math anxiety and creativity in numerical problem-solving. The findings demonstrate a significant reduction in mathematics anxiety following the implementation of the neuroeducation-based intervention. Simultaneously, students exhibited marked improvements in creative approaches to numerical challenges, indicating that addressing psychological factors is essential to unlocking mathematical potential. These results highlight the importance of integrating cognitive psychology into mathematics instruction, moving beyond procedural learning toward a holistic approach that considers students’ emotional and cognitive states. The implications extend to educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers, suggesting that modern mathematics education should balance cognitive development, emotional well-being, and creative problem-solving skills to prepare students for the challenges of a rapidly evolving digital world.

The aim of this paper is to highlight the role of Lextutor an online software for achieving educational objectives. Lextutor is an online resource which presents a new teaching-learning environment and also offers a variety of activities for educators and learners to use it in English vocabulary classroom and to nurture independent learning. Since vocabulary becomes very fundamental in language learning, both speaking and writing and independent learning is currently popular and needs to be developed, educators and learners can use wordlists, online concordance and dictionary, and texts, which can be accessed in the available programs. In addition, Lextutor also serves database to store the work and view the others’ work. Most importantly, this online software comes up with the transformation to change the traditional setting of learning by giving inputs on DDL learning. It is expected that learners can be more independent and active in learning, enabling greater motivation and deeper learning. This paper reviews literature and gives scholarly background by reviewing some contributions and concepts made by experts in the related field. Furthermore, some benefits of using Lextutor are found in this research.

 This study was motivated by the lack of use of digital-based learning media in the learning process, the absence of counseling and guidance on the dangers of drugs in SDN Kalibaru 07 morning, as well as environmental factors around the school, namely Kalibaru Barat village, which is an area prone to drug abuse. To overcome these problems, efforts are needed to develop stop-motion animation video media that aim to produce stop-motion animation videos that are practical and effective. This research uses the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. The analysis phase includes an analysis of Learning media development needs and the characteristics of learners. The design phase includes the design of the GBPM and storyboard as a reference in developing stop-motion animation video media. The development phase includes product development and validity tests by experts, namely material experts with an average percentage score of 96.42% in the category "Very Decent", media experts with an average percentage score of 100% in the category "Very Decent", and linguists with an average percentage score of 96.87% in the category "Very Decent". The evaluation phase was conducted by providing a user response questionnaire, namely for teachers with an average score percentage of 95% in the category "Very Good", and learners with an average score percentage of 92.73% in the category "Very Good". The results showed that stop-motion animation videos are very good at instilling anti-drug attitudes in elementary schools.

Abstract: This step-by-step guide provides an overview of English phonology, exploring its definition, scope, and the relationship between phonetics and phonology. It delves into the classification and articulation of English sounds, covering aspects such as place and manner of articulation. The guide emphasizes the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as a standardized system for representing sounds, and provides examples of English vowels and consonants represented by IPA symbols. Understanding English phonology enables learners to improve their pronunciation accuracy, comprehend spoken English more effectively, and enhance their overall communication skills.

This research explores the importance of studying English minimal pairs of vowels and their impact on language learners' pronunciation skills. The discussion highlights the significance of differentiating vowel sounds through the analysis of minimal pairs, which consist of words sharing consonant sounds but differing in vowel articulation. By focusing on specific minimal pairs such as [iː] / [ɪ], [æ] / [ʌ], [ɑ:] / [ɔ], [ɛ], and [ɒ], learners can refine their ability to recognize and produce the distinct vowel sounds accurately. Mastering these minimal pairs enhances phonemic awareness, enabling learners to differentiate between similar vowel sounds, thereby improving overall pronunciation accuracy. Furthermore, the study of minimal pairs contributes to word differentiation, listening skills, and spelling and reading proficiency. It empowers learners to grasp the subtle nuances in vowel pronunciation, thereby enhancing their ability to comprehend and communicate effectively in English. In conclusion, a comprehensive understanding and application of English minimal pairs of vowels are vital for language learners striving to achieve optimal pronunciation proficiency.   English minimal pairs of vowel
