Abstract

The influence of the mother tongue on second language acquisition has been widely studied, yet its specific impact on Indonesian learners of English remains underexplored. Grounded in the theoretical framework of language transfer and contrastive analysis, this study examines how the Indonesian language affects English pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary acquisition. The research employed a qualitative approach, analyzing the linguistic patterns of Indonesian EFL learners through phonological, syntactic, and lexical perspectives. Findings indicate that phonological interference leads to sound substitution and syllable epenthesis, while syntactic transfer results in grammatical errors such as auxiliary omission and incorrect word order. Additionally, lexical interference causes misinterpretations due to false cognates and direct translations. These findings highlight the persistent influence of the mother tongue in shaping English proficiency. The study suggests that increasing exposure to authentic English input and employing explicit linguistic instruction can mitigate these challenges. Future research should explore intervention strategies and assess the long-term impact of language transfer. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of second language acquisition in multilingual contexts and offers pedagogical insights for EFL teachers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Higher education research plays a crucial role in shaping academic quality and advancing knowledge, making it essential to map the methodologies applied in order to assess the direction and relevance of scholarly work. This study focused on mapping the prevalence of research methods employed in higher education studies in Lampung Province, specifically examining the tendencies towards quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches, as well as the extent to which new methodologies such as digital ethnography and participatory action research have been adopted. A systematic literature review was conducted on articles, undergraduate theses, master’s dissertations, and doctoral research produced in universities across Lampung between 2015 and 2025, involving identification, classification, and comparative analysis of research methods. The findings reveal the dominance of quantitative approaches, although the past five years have shown a significant increase in qualitative and mixed-methods studies. Meanwhile, innovative methods remain rarely applied but indicate promising potential for future development. The conclusion highlights that methodological choices are not merely technical decisions but also reflections of academic culture and institutional capacity, suggesting that diversifying methodologies is vital to enhance research quality and strengthen its relevance to local contexts.
