This study examines the effectiveness of hybrid learning for RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) students at Panca Marga University. Hybrid learning, which combines face-to-face and online instruction, addresses scheduling challenges faced by working students. Using a quantitative approach and survey methods, the study evaluates the impact of hybrid learning on learning flexibility, engagement, and academic outcomes. Results show that hybrid learning enhances flexibility, allows students to balance work and study, and improves learning outcomes by 15% compared to conventional methods. However, challenges such as internet dependence and digital fatigue remain significant. The study highlights the need for technological infrastructure and faculty training to optimize hybrid learning implementation.  

This community service aims to develop students' writing literacy. The main focus of this service is training in effective sentence writing and the application of punctuation. This writing training involved 15 MPI students of the Faculty of Islamic Religion, Islamic University of Balitar Blitar. The training was held for 2 meetings within 1 full day in November 2024. The training in writing scientific papers and journals for students of the Faculty of Islamic Religion (FAI) Unisba includes several stages, namely pretest (writing papers), identification of academic vocabulary, analysis of scientific sentence structure, analysis of the use of punctuation, intensive practice in the preparation of vocabulary, sentences, and punctuation marks according to academic rules, and posttest (writing papers or journals). This activity is carried out in groups and individuals by applying learning strategies and media that are interesting and relevant to the academic needs of students. After participating in the training (posttest), 80% of students were able to reach a proficient and proficient level in writing scientific papers and journals. These results show a significant increase compared to the achievement before the training (pretest), where 73% of students were only able to reach the basic level.  Based on these results, it is recommended to the Faculty of Islamic Religion Unisba to intensify the academic literacy training program, especially in writing scientific papers and journals. Students who have the potential to excel in academic writing need to continue to hone their skills through continuous coaching, while students who still need special assistance can be given additional programs to improve the quality of their skills.

The rapid development of technology has introduced various language learning resources, including podcasts, which offer authentic audio input but are often underutilized and lack structured application in EFL classrooms. Integrating gamification into podcasts represents a promising approach to enhance students’ engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of gamified podcasts on EFL students’ listening comprehension, learning motivation, and content retention. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving university-level EFL students divided into an experimental group (gamified podcasts with interactive quizzes, leaderboards, and badges) and a control group (non-gamified podcasts). Pre-tests and post-tests assessed listening comprehension, motivation, and retention, with statistical comparisons conducted using t-tests and ANOVA. The results indicate that students exposed to gamified podcasts demonstrated significant improvements in listening comprehension, motivation, and retention compared to their peers in the control group. The interactive and competitive elements of gamification encouraged repeated engagement, active participation, and deeper cognitive processing of audio materials, which strengthened long-term memory and overall learning outcomes. These findings suggest that gamified podcast-based learning not only enriches traditional listening practices but also fosters a more engaging, motivating, and effective EFL learning environment. Consequently, integrating gamification into podcast instruction is recommended as an innovative strategy to support language acquisition and enhance students’ sustained involvement in learning activities.

The rapid development of digital technology has reshaped communication practices in online learning, particularly in language education. Emojis, as a visual symbol widely used in digital interactions, have the potential to enrich emotional expression and participation, but their role in educational contexts remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to investigate how emojis influence students’ emotional expression, engagement, and digital literacy in online language classrooms. To achieve this, a qualitative observational design was employed, focusing on university students participating in online language courses. Data were collected from authentic digital interactions, including chat messages, discussion forums, and collaborative platforms, and were analyzed through content analysis to identify the communicative and pedagogical functions of emojis. The findings indicate that emojis help clarify emotional expression, support comprehension of messages, and encourage active student participation in online discussions. These results demonstrate that emojis not only serve as supplementary tools for digital communication but also contribute to creating a more engaging and supportive learning environment. Synthesizing the main ideas, this study extends the understanding of digital communication theory by highlighting the pedagogical value of emojis beyond their informal use on social media. In conclusion, emojis play a crucial role in strengthening interaction, fostering emotional presence, and enhancing learning outcomes in online language education. The study recommends integrating emojis into digital teaching practices while encouraging further research on cultural variation, learner levels, and diverse digital platforms to maximize their educational potential.

Indonesian language plays a crucial role in daily life and education, particularly at the higher education level. As the medium of instruction, proficiency in Indonesian significantly impacts students' academic achievement, including those in Accounting programs. This study aims to analyze the influence of Indonesian language proficiency on the understanding of course materials and the academic achievement of Accounting students at the State University of Medan. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research involved 36 student respondents currently taking Indonesian language courses. The findings indicate that strong Indonesian language skills are essential in helping students comprehend accounting concepts, read textbooks, and complete assignments and exams. The majority of respondents agreed that good Indonesian language skills support their academic success, especially in explaining exam answers and writing reports. Conversely, limited Indonesian language proficiency hinders students' ability to grasp complex accounting concepts. This study concludes that strong Indonesian language proficiency contributes significantly to improving students' academic achievement in accounting and provides recommendations for developing Indonesian language instruction that is more integrated with technical courses in the Accounting department.

This study aims to reveal (i) the improvement of self-regulated learning skills (SRL) through problem-based learning (PBL), and (ii) the improvement of lecturers’ performance in implementing PBL.
