Abstract

This community service activity aimed to enhance junior high school students’ confidence in communicating in English through an English Camp program conducted at SMP Negeri 46 Makassar. The program employed a participatory approach grounded in experiential learning, encouraging active student involvement in meaningful and contextual communication practices. A series of interactive activities, including ice-breaking sessions, vocabulary building, role plays, group discussions, and speaking performances, were designed to create a supportive and low-anxiety learning environment. The results demonstrated that the English Camp significantly improved students’ confidence in speaking English, as reflected in their increased willingness to participate, greater activeness during activities, and improved courage in expressing ideas. Additionally, observations indicated heightened student engagement, enthusiasm, and interaction throughout the program. These findings suggest that experiential and communicative learning approaches are effective in fostering students’ confidence and participation in language learning. Therefore, the English Camp can be considered an effective alternative strategy to support the development of students’ English communication skills, particularly in building confidence, and it is recommended that similar programs be implemented sustainably and integrated into regular school learning activities to maximize their impact.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the socio-cultural adaptation strategies of non Makassarese students in dealing with culture shock at the Faculty of Languages and Literature, State University of Makassar (FBS UNM). Non Makassarese students often experience difficulties in adapting to a new environment due to differences in language, social norms, interaction patterns, and culture. These conditions may lead to culture shock, which affects both social and academic adjustment. This study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews and observations of the students at FBS UNM. The collected data were analyzed to identify the forms of culture shock experienced by students and the socio-cultural adaptation strategies they use in adapting to a new environment. The results of this study are expected to provide an overview of the culture shock experienced by migrant students and the adaptation strategies they apply to adjust to the social and academic environment at the Faculty of Languages and Literature, State University of Makassar.

Abstract

This article investigates how multimodal learning strategies shape language acquisition among second-semester EFL students in an Applied English Study Program at a public university in Indonesia. Using a qualitative exploratory design, the study examines students’ experiences, responses, and language development during English lessons that systematically integrate texts, images, audio, videos, slides, classroom discussions, gestures, and digital platforms. Data were gathered through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and analysis of students’ learning tasks, then analyzed thematically to identify patterns of change in comprehension and production. The results show that multimodal learning strategies enhance input comprehension, vocabulary growth, oral and written production, learning engagement, communicative interaction, and students’ capacity for meaning-making across modes. Multiple, complementary modes of representation help learners process English materials more easily, retain new vocabulary, express ideas with greater confidence, and take a more active role in classroom interaction, provided that media selection and task design are carefully aligned with learning goals and proficiency levels. Overall, the study positions multimodal learning not merely as media variation, but as a pedagogical strategy that supports more comprehensive and context-sensitive language acquisition in EFL settings.
