EFL pronunciation learning is known to be teacher-centered, in which students are reliant on the feedback given by their teachers. Fortunately, the presence of technology-based learning tools is believed to be able to reduce students' dependency on teachers. A built-in Automatic Speech Recognition technology (ASR): ELSA Speak is a mobile-based application that could help students with pronunciation learning by providing prompt feedback and detailed evaluation of its users' pronunciation accuracy. The objective of this study was to examine the use of the mobile-based application, ELSA, in pronunciation learning and whether it could stimulate learners to become more autonomous. A mix-method approach was employed in this study. The quantitative data, in the forms of pre-test and post-test, was gathered through students' pronunciation recordings available in ELSA. This data was analyzed using the paired sample t-test. In addition, a Google Form questionnaire, in five-point Likert Scale, was used to support the quantitative findings. Meanwhile, a semi-structured interview with selected participants served as the qualitative one. These data were analyzed thematically based on the participants' responses. The result shows that incorporating mobile-based technology into English pronunciation learning could provide an opportunity for students to improve their pronunciation. Moreover, students could also broaden their repertoire of available practice strategies that might be useful to improve their autonomous learning ability.

As the pandemic Covid-19, all teaching learning process must be presented through online learning. Therefore, the teaching learning media also must be developed to support the process. Powtoon is a web-based application which allows the users to create an animated video. This study reports on the development of animated learning video using Powtoon for Speaking subject. The study employed an ADDIE research method which is started from Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The result shows that Powtoon as web-based application for creating animated video has many features in making an animated video help to produce an interesting video for students

Kampung Kerajinan Daur Ulang Sampah dan Seribu Keripik yang berada di Kelurahan Batu Gadang Kecamatan Lubuk Kilangan merupakan salah satu Kampung Tematik yang dicanangkan oleh Walikota Padang pada tahun 2021. Kampung ini memiliki potensi besar karena memiliki Bank Sampah dan Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) yang bergerak dibidang industri keripik. Namun, dalam pelaksanaan pengembangan Kampung Tematik ini, terdapat beberapa kendala, salah satunya adalah masih kurangnya pemasaran berbasis informasi teknologi. Karenanya, tim pengabdian Politeknik Negeri Padang, melakukan pembuatan video profil yang dimanfaatkan sebagai sarana informasi dan promosi.
