Abstract

This study investigated the English learning needs of 55 accounting students at Pattimura University to inform the development of an ESP module. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered in Indonesian, covering learning objectives, self-reported proficiency, preferred topics, language task preferences, and exercise format preferences, and analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The findings revealed that academic purposes dominated students' learning motivations (49.1%), followed by career preparation (25.5%). Speaking emerged as the weakest skill, with the highest proportion of beginners (29.1%) and no advanced-level reporters, while reading showed the strongest profile (76.4% intermediate). Students preferred foundational business topics over specialized content and gravitated toward structured, scaffolded task formats such as summary writing, note completion, and contextual vocabulary gap-fill exercises. Based on these findings, the study proposes a five-unit module framework that maps empirically preferred topics and task types onto a scaffolded instructional sequence for ESP curriculum development at the institutional level.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of implementing the 3- Dimensional Grammar Framework in improving students’ maastery of noun phrases in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. The research was conducted at SMAN 5 Ambon using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, which consisted of two cycles. Each cycle included the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants of this study were 36 eleventh-grade students selected purposively. Research instruments included tests (pre-test and post-test), observation, and questionnaire. In conclusion, the systematic implementation of the 3D Grammar Framework in grammar instruction successfully enhanced students’ mastery to use noun phrases effectively. This approach is recommended as an alternative strategy in grammar teaching within EFL classrooms, as it emphasizes form, meaning, and contextual use in an integrated manner.
