Abstract

This study analyzes grammatical errors and writing flow in opinion paragraphs composed by first-semester students of the English Education Department at the University of Mataram in the 2024/2025 academic year. The primary objectives of this research are to identify the types of errors, investigate the causes of these errors from the students’ perspectives, and evaluate whether the writing flow of the opinion paragraphs meets appropriate standards. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through document analysis of students’ opinion paragraphs and in-depth interviews with purposively selected participants. The findings reveal four major types of errors based on Dulay’s taxonomy: misformation (51.43%), omission (40.00%), misordering (5.71%), and addition (2.86%). These errors are mainly caused by first language (L1) interference, particularly through literal translation from Indonesian into English, as well as carelessness and a lack of self-editing among students. Despite the prevalence of micro-linguistic errors, the students’ writing flow generally demonstrates a sound macro-structural organization. The constructed paragraphs fulfill the criteria of opinion paragraph structure, consisting of a clear topic sentence, relevant supporting details, and a concluding sentence that reinforces the argument. This study is expected to provide insights for educators to focus on students’ areas of weakness in order to improve the accuracy and coherence of their academic writing.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out the student's problems and practical needs in learning speaking. It employed qualitative methods that gathered responses from 40 out of 233 students in the second semester of the English Department at the University of Mataram. The questionnaire and interview were used to collect the data needed. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions and was distributed using Google Forms, and the interview utilized 5 questions to elicit more detailed responses from the respondents. The collected data were analyzed systematically through the data reduction, display, and conclusion stages. The findings of this research showed that the students not only had linguistic problems, such as lack of pronunciation, grammatical knowledge, and vocabulary mastery, but they also faced psychological problems including fear of making mistakes, shyness of speaking in front of the class, anxiety, and not having enough confidence. Further, to improve their speaking skills, the students required more practice and exercises inside and outside the classroom with suitable speaking materials for their level. Additionally, focusing on activities rather than just materials and providing constructive feedback whenever they make mistakes will be crucial for their learning.

Abstract

This study analyzed the problems and practical needs of English vocabulary learning among low-score students at a state university in Mataram, Lombok, Indonesia. To provide appropriate instructional materials, learning tasks, or assessment tasks, a need analysis of the student’s prior knowledge is the most important thing that should be done by a teacher. The research involved forty students and used qualitative methods, including questionnaires and interviews, to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods, such as data reduction, display, analysis, and conclusion. The results of this study show that there are problems in vocabulary learning faced by students such as problems with inaccurate pronunciation, problems in knowing the meaning of too much vocabulary, problems in dealing with grammatical alterations, and problems in using words appropriately. On the other hand, students' practical needs are engaging in learning with interactive activities in the form of games/discussions in class, practicing the words adequately, and asking for feedback for better learning improvement. Future research can further examine overcoming the problems found by linking them directly to practical needs.

Abstract

Writing is one of the most essential and challenging skills in English language learning because it demands creativity, organization, and linguistic accuracy. Among various text types, descriptive text plays a crucial role in helping students express ideas clearly and vividly by describing people, places, or objects in detail. However, many students still face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing sentences, and using appropriate vocabulary. This study aimed to analyze gender based teaching strategies employed by male and female English teachers in teaching descriptive text and how these strategies are implemented in the classroom. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The participants were five English teachers at MTsN 1 Lombok Tengah, consisting of three males and two females. The data were collected through classroom observation and interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results revealed that each teacher applied distinct strategies. Male teachers used guided writing, imaginary strategy, and visual learning to stimulate creativity and provide structural support, while female teachers used modified vocabulary instruction and collaborative learning to strengthen linguistic readiness and promote peer interaction. Drawing on the findings, it can be concluded that although male and female English teachers demonstrated different emphases in their teaching, both aimed to facilitate students’ descriptive writing development, boost confidence, and encourage active participation through supportive and interactive learning environments.
