Abstract

Language contact between cultures often leads to the borrowing of words. In addition, arbitrary characteristics of a language may affect to word absorption to another language. Unfortunately, word meaning could be changed from its original meaning and new meaning is created in another language. The research aims to identify the kind of semantic changes which occurred in English loanwords into Indonesian, to disclose the motives of the speakers in using English loanwords, and factors facilitating the semantic changes. The data is the direct utterances gained from daily informal situation among Indonesians located in Makassar, South Sulawesi. It was collected by using fieldwork research observation, questionnaire, and interview. Then, it is analyzed by employing qualitative and descriptive method. The finding reveals that there are six types of semantic changes of English loanwords into Indonesian which are widening or broadening meaning, narrowing meaning, meaning shift, metonymy, metaphor, and synecdoche. The speakers use those English loanwords because of some motives such as the need filling motive and prestige motive. There are also two factors facilitating the speakers in using those English loanwords in their daily life which are social factor and psychological factor.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Tree Diagram Technique in improving junior high school students’ mastery of basic English vocabulary in Indonesia. Vocabulary plays an essential role in language acquisition; however, many students experience difficulties in learning new words due to monotonous instructional methods. The Tree Diagram Technique, as a visual learning strategy, helps students organize vocabulary into meaningful categories, thereby supporting comprehension and memory retention. This study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants were 25 eighth-grade students of a junior high school in Bone Regency. Data were collected through a 20-item vocabulary test administered before and after the treatment. The results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ vocabulary achievement, with the mean score increasing from 51.4 in the pretest to 82.4 in the posttest (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the Tree Diagram Technique is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery in EFL classrooms. The study also contributes to EFL pedagogy by demonstrating the potential adaptation of the Tree Diagram Technique from syntactic analysis into engaging and visually organized vocabulary instruction.

Abstract

This study investigates the improvement of senior high school students’ literal reading comprehension through the use of texts containing idiomatic expressions. The objective of this research is to determine the extent to which idiomatic expression texts can enhance students’ literal comprehension of written materials. A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The participants were 20 Grade X students at MA Tinco during the 2023/2024 academic year. The results show that the average pre-test score for literal reading comprehension was 46.70, with a standard deviation of 5.440, a minimum score of 35, and a maximum score of 56. After the intervention, the average post-test score increased to 86.65, with a standard deviation of 7.506, a minimum score of 74, and a maximum score of 98. These findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ literal reading comprehension after being taught using idiomatic expression texts. Hypothesis testing with a paired sample t-test produced a t-value of 17.533, exceeding the critical t-table value of 1.725, with a p-value of 0.000. Since the p-value was less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was accepted. The N-Gain analysis yielded an average score of 74.38, categorizing the intervention as “moderately effective.” Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of texts containing idiomatic expressions is moderately effective in improving the literal reading comprehension of Grade X students at MA Tinco.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of BookWidgets as a web-based learning medium in enhancing students’ vocabulary knowledge. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test. The population consisted of 191 tenth-grade students at MAN 2 Bone, and 26 students were selected as the sample through random sampling. The instrument used in this study was a vocabulary test. The data were analyzed using mean scores and percentages. The findings revealed that the students’ vocabulary knowledge improved after the implementation of BookWidgets. The mean score increased from 59.27 in the pre-test to 75.92 in the post-test, with an improvement of 16.65 points. The interactive features of BookWidgets, such as quizzes, matching exercises, and games, helped students learn vocabulary more effectively by creating an engaging and interactive learning environment. It can be concluded that BookWidgets was effective in enhancing students’ vocabulary knowledge and can be used as an alternative web-based learning medium in English language teaching.
