This research explores strategies to support novice learners in developing their writing skills in the English Education Study Program at an Indonesian university, the Islamic Institut of Palangka Raya. Writing is often considered one of the most challenging aspects of language learning, requiring a combination of vocabulary knowledge, grammatical precision and structural coherence. The participants, five beginner learners, were selected using purposive sampling and underwent a writing task that progressed from sentence-level exercises to paragraph construction. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and direct observation, and analyzed thematically. Findings showed that challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammatical errors, and psychological barriers such as low self-confidence hindered students' progress. Effective strategies included guided sentence construction, collaborative writing exercises, and exposure to structured templates and quality reading materials. The participants reported improved confidence and skills through positive feedback and step-by-step writing tasks. The findings suggest that integrating motivating and structured learning methods can significantly improve writing ability among beginners, contributing to their academic and personal growth.

Teachers, lecturers, students, and the community use the library as a knowledge and information resource in the context of implementing learning. A library is often thought of as a sizable book collection that is kept for the express purpose of gathering, maintaining, and dispensing books. Students can look up and gather the most recent scientific data in the library, which aids them with their assignments. People's preference for instant information via social media, especially students, is one of the reasons reading is becoming less popular these days. Aside from the fall in students' interest in reading, two other reasons why libraries are silent are their incapacity to adapt to the changing times and their failure to satisfy the demands of students. As a result, Balige must have a public library that can serve everyone in the city and can meet the demands of community activities. This Public Library design uses a contextual architectural approach to integrate various elements of the surrounding building facades.
