This study aims to explore English teachers' implementation of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) competencies to enhance students' writing skills. The methods used include qualitative observations and interviews, focusing on the use of technology in writing instruction, variations in TPACK implementation, impact on student engagement, and teachers' perceptions of their TPACK competencies. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for effective pedagogical practices and professional development for teachers.

This present study aims to analyze the non-observance maxims of one selected film. In addition to that, this current study is conducted to investigate the conversational implicature can generate in the film. The analysis of non-observance of Grice's maxims in movies is rooted in the field of pragmatics, particularly focusing on how communication unfolds beyond literal meanings. The movie 24 Hours with Gaspar is used as the object of research, providing relevant data and highlighting the role of language in human communication. This study is descriptive qualitative to collect, analyze and report the data. Earlier, the researcher watches to find dialogues related to non-observances maxims. Afterwards, the researcher remarking and identify the dialogue and calculating the amount of the data. Lastly, the researcher analyzes and categorized the related dialouges based on Grice’s theory, determining the most dominant type, and write a conclusion. The researcher found 5 dialog involving non-observance maxim, which are: opting out quantity, violating relation, violating quantity, floating quantity and foating relation. Those data were differentiated in 2 conversational implicature namely generalized and particularized.

This study investigates the extent and nature of higher-order thinking skill (HOTS) integration in English teachers’ lesson plans within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Using Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy as the analytical framework, the research employed a qualitative content analysis of 12 lesson plans drawn from secondary and tertiary English teachers in Indonesia. The analysis focused on identifying the presence and types of cognitive processes embedded in learning objectives, instructional activities, and assessments. The findings reveal a predominant emphasis on lower-order thinking skills (LOTS), particularly understanding and applying, while HOTS—such as analyzing, evaluating, and creating—were included less frequently and often lacked alignment across instructional components. Among the HOTS categories, analyzing appeared most commonly, whereas evaluating and creating were significantly underrepresented. This suggests a limited instructional emphasis on critical and creative thinking development in EFL lesson planning. The study concludes that while teachers may recognize the importance of fostering HOTS, structural, curricular, and pedagogical constraints often hinder their consistent implementation. Limitations of the study include the small sample size and exclusive reliance on document analysis. Future research should incorporate classroom observations and teacher interviews to gain a more holistic understanding of how HOTS are operationalized in practice.

Although the benefits of the consumption of green tea and its components, including catechins and theanine, regarding aging, memory impairment and age-related cognitive decline have been investigated in senescence-accelerated prone mice (SAMP8), studies that simultaneously measured the kinds of proteins that vary in their expression due to the administration of green tea and its extracts were not found. In this study, the effect of dietary and decaffeinated matcha on protein expression in the hippocampus of SAMP 8 was examined comprehensively, mainly using proteomics. Although improvements in memory and the hair appearance of the back coat were limited upon administering the samples, the following regulations were observed in some of the proteins involved in neuron degeneration, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, synapse transmission and nerve cell plasticity, antioxidation, glutamate transport and metabolism, GABA (γ-amino butyric acid) formation and transport and excitatory amino acid transporters: proteins downregulated upon sample intake (p < 0.05): brain acid-soluble protein 1, microtubule-associated protein tau, synapsin-2, sodium- and chloride-dependent GABA transporter; proteins that tended to decrease upon sample intake (0.05 < p < 0.10): Parkinson’s disease (autosomal recessive and early-onset) 7 and synapsin-1; proteins upregulated upon sample intake (p > 0.95): glutathione S-transferase Mu 1, tubulin alpha-1A chain, dynamin-2, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit gamma and tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tyrosine 5-monooxygenase activation protein epsilon polypeptide; proteins that tended to increase upon sample intake (0.95 > p > 0.90): glutathione S-transferase Mu7 and soluble carrier family 1 (glial high-affinity glutamate transporter); proteins that tended to decrease: sodium- and chloride-dependent GABA transporter 3. These results indicate that matcha and decaffeinated matcha could reduce aging and cognitive impairment by regulating the expression of these proteins. Furthermore, these proteins could be used as markers for the evaluation of food and its available components for reducing aging and cognitive impairment.

This research focuses on the interpretation and use of various forms and symbols in music and aims to understand the structure, meaning and use of words in language. This research contributes to the understanding of the relationship between language, music and culture through the analysis of speech and music samples. The research method involves systematically collecting, analyzing and interpreting data using web mining and albums. The method used in this research is a descriptive method that uses a qualitative approach. Data analysis used a methodology to identify and classify data based on its content. This methodology uses lexicography to identify and classify words into lists, and then uses the data as teaching materials, categorizing them by usage, occupation, or status. This research emphasizes the importance of using various forms and symbols in linguistic expression and stresses the importance of using various symbols to effectively convey meaning and emotion.
