This study describes the morphosyntax of imperative sentences in the Balinese language. From the morphological approach, the uniqueness of the imperative in Balinese can be seen when compared to some other languages. This study aims to clarify the typology of this matter. Imperative sentences show similarities and distinctions between certain languages. In many languages, imperative sentences commonly use base verbs or bare verbs with or without a second-person subject. However, imperative sentences in Balinese use verbs with different affixes depending on the category. This study discusses the morphological form of the imperative verb, the structure of the imperative, and examples of sentences that can be used in the imperative. We believe that this morphosyntax approach can best explain the uniqueness of the imperative found in Balinese. This study is unlike any previous studies done on the same topic, and it aims to give a comprehensive and conclusive view of the imperative construction in Balinese.

This study aimed to compare the effect of digital and printed multilingual dictionaries on young learners' literacy. Besides, it also explored the students’ responses on the implementation of those dictionaries. To achieve the study's objectives, the researchers followed a sequential mixed method that started with the quantitative method and followed with the qualitative method. There were two classes involved in this study. Those two classes were selected using the matching technique. One class was treated as an experimental class, while the other was the control class. To collect the study's data, the researchers used a literacy test for the quantitative method and a questionnaire, and an interview guide for the qualitative method. The quantitative data were analyzed statistically using an independent t-test, while the qualitative data were analyzed using an interactive data analysis model. This study statistically confirmed that the digital multilingual dictionary was better than the printed dictionary. The results of the questionnaire and interview supported the finding that young learners had positive responses toward the use of both dictionary, however they also affirmed that the digital dictionary was more interesting and could help them more to study English vocabulary with the pronunciations.

This research was descriptive qualitative research utilizing observation of one lecturer and survey delivered to 117 students who took pedagogical content courses. The observation was conducted during one academic semester teaching in 2020 by using a journal note and a survey using a questionnaire that contained 20 items. There were four dimensions determined in the questionnaire: ease/relevance, before learning, during learning, and benefits of WhatsApp. Among 117 respondents involved in this study, there were 83 undergraduate students and 34 postgraduate students. The study proved there were nine learning activities done by the students in the main and post-activity phases. Such activities included sending the written summary on the pedagogical content knowledge and link of the video of oral presentation and simulation, discussion through questions and answers, giving additional comments, giving conclusions, and giving feedback. The study also revealed that the perception of the students on WhatsApp utilization was very positive. They strongly agreed that it was comfortable and relevant to use during the COVID-19 pandemic and helped them improve oral and written communication skills.
