[1]which states that speaking is an event of conveying one’s intentions (ideas, thoughts, heart contents) to others using spoken language so that the meaning is understood by others. Not a few students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya still cannot understand well and do not understand the sentences spoken by the interlocutors who use English. Role playing is one of the strategies recently seen as very useful and effective in learning speaking because role playing can arouse enthusiasm and motivate students and provide an injection to speak in English. This study aims to determine student activities during training and to find out whether the use of role playing strategies can improve students’ speaking skills. This Classroom Action Research was designed and implemented in the Study Program at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, Farmacy and the Islamic Faculty of Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya. The research subjects were 30 students of the Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya S1 Program. who take English courses. The stages of this research consisted of planning, implementing the action, observing and reflecting.

The rapid development of information and communication technology or what is known as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has penetrated various fields of life, including education and teaching. With regard to learning, the use of information technology, in this case, e-learning, is needed not only for educators who are skilled at utilizing technology and technology for the manufacture of teaching materials, but a design is needed to carry out learning effectively. In a learning design (instructional design) there is a process to guide actors (actors) to design, develop, implement e-learning content by utilizing the available e-learning infrastructure and applications. At the next stage in the implementation of e-learning, there is an evaluation stage which is used to revise or adjust to the previous stages. A good educational institution must develop teachers by providing various facilities to support the teaching and learning process. Teachers can replace it with a new method in the form of video or audio that has been combined with the teaching material they want to convey. As technology develops, mobile or smartphone versions of e-Learning can be compatible with the features available in conventional learning so that the quality of content in the form of subject matter can be accessed properly.

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals which has been well documented as one of the major animal diseases that causing serious economic loss of livestock sectors. The disease is endemic in many countries, particularly in Asia and Africa. Indonesia has declared disease-free country since 1986 and the World Organization of Animal Health (WOAH/OIE) has recognised Indonesia as FMD-free country without vaccination in 1990. However, FMD virus was detected from a number of disease outbreaks in cattle and goat in Indonesia in May 2022. This study report for the first time the detection and identification of serotype O/ME-SA/Ind-2001 lineage in Indonesia. Although the Indonesian serotype O/ME-SA/Ind-2001 viruses appeared belonging to the Ind-2001e sublineage, they formed a unique cluster with 95.3% average nucleotide sequence similarity to Ind-2001e viruses from other Asia countries. The source of virus incursion into Indonesia is still unresolved; however, illegal trade of live animals from endemic areas in Southeast Asia is the suspected route which should be further investigated.
