Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of language change in the communication patterns of Generation Z, a demographic cohort born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, known for their deep integration with digital technology and social media. The research investigates how linguistic shifts—such as the emergence of new slang, abbreviations, code-switching, and emotive expressions—reflect the values, identity, and communication preferences of this generation. Utilizing a qualitative-descriptive approach, the data was collected through observations of online conversations, social media interactions, and informal interviews with Gen Z participants. The findings reveal that language change among Gen Z is significantly influenced by digital platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and messaging apps, where brevity, creativity, and speed of communication are prioritized. Additionally, the blending of English with native languages, frequent use of memes, emojis, and internet-born expressions are indicative of their unique linguistic landscape. These changes not only reflect evolving communication norms but also challenge traditional views of grammar, vocabulary, and language usage. The study highlights the need for educators and linguists to acknowledge and adapt to these changes in order to remain relevant and effective in language teaching and sociolinguistic analysis.

Abstract

Listening comprehension in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning is often associated with understanding explicit information, while learners’ ability to interpret speakers’ intended meanings in authentic communicative contexts receives comparatively less attention. This study investigates the development of EFL learners’ pragmatic listening competence through the use of authentic audio materials. Employing a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, the study involves undergraduate EFL learners who are assigned to an experimental group receiving instruction through authentic audio materials and a control group receiving conventional listening instruction. The authentic materials include naturally occurring conversations, interviews, business-related interactions, and other context-rich spoken texts designed to expose learners to indirect meanings, speech acts, politeness strategies, implicatures, and contextual cues. Data are collected through a pragmatic listening comprehension test, a learner perception questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data are analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired-samples and independent-samples tests, while qualitative data are analyzed thematically. The study is expected to demonstrate that exposure to authentic audio materials can significantly enhance learners’ ability to interpret speaker intentions and implied meanings beyond literal comprehension. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of pragmatic-oriented listening pedagogy and provide empirical evidence for integrating authentic spoken materials into EFL listening instruction.
