Abstract

ABSTRACTThe English language is widely spoken worldwide and is the primary medium of cross-communication in international and intercultural contexts. This study is intended to analyze (1) the types of communication strategies (CSs) used by EFL students when they face the communication problem with the interlocutors and (2) the most frequent CSs used by EFL students when they interact in both face to face (F2F) and online contexts. This research applied a narrative review study with analysis content as a qualitative methodological approach. In total, there were 38 relevant articles reviewed, which consisted of 30 articles for F2F and 8 articles for online context. The current study used typology by and Nakatani, (2014) to analyze the CSs’ types. The results revealed that EFL students employ 34 various CSs; however, fillers strategy is the most frequent CSs used in the F2F environment. Meanwhile, the code-switching strategy is the most commonly used in an online environment. Thus, this research has implications for foreign language teaching in higher education for both lecturers and students. Lecturers may design activities and lessons that focus on practicing and developing students' proficiency in using various CSs.Keywords: Communication strategies; EFL students; face-to-face environment; online context

Abstract

This narrative review investigates the benefits of pair work activities in EFL speaking classes. The data for this study were drawn from 25 selected articles published between 2013 and 2023. The research explores four main themes related to pair work in EFL speaking: language development through practice, social and emotional support in learning environments, active engagement and participative learning, and effective pedagogical strategies. The conclusions drawn from the 25 articles reveal several benefits of pair work activities, including language development through practice (enhancing speaking proficiency and facilitating vocabulary acquisition), social and emotional support in learning environments (encouraging peer feedback, creating a supportive learning environment, reducing anxiety, and increasing confidence), active engagement and participative learning (promoting active student engagement and increasing participative learning), and effective pedagogical strategies (the teacher's role in enhancing pair work effectiveness and effective task structuring). The research suggests that integrating pair work activities into EFL speaking instruction can significantly improve language learning outcomes. Furthermore, EFL teachers can effectively utilize pair work to enhance students' speaking abilities, boost their confidence, and improve overall language proficiency. Keywords: benefits of pair work; collaborative learning; EFL speaking; language development.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and narrate the culture shock experienced by the first author, an Indonesian EFL exchange student, during an academic exchange program at a Midwestern university in the United States. Using an autoethnographic approach, data were collected from the author's personal reflections, journals, and social media archives, then analyzed through a narrative method to present the lived experiences in a clear, chronological structure. The findings reveal that the first author experienced a range of emotions throughout all four stages of culture shock: honeymoon, frustration, adjustment, and adaptation. Each stage had a notable impact on his academic performance, emotional well-being, and motivation to engage with the host university’s academic and social environments. The study highlights the importance of cultural readiness and emotional resilience for exchange students. It also recommends that higher education institutions strengthen orientation programs and offer more holistic, culturally responsive support systems to help students navigate cross-cultural transitions effectively.

Abstract

This narrative review aims to identify the challenges of pair-work activities in EFL writing classrooms based on a comprehensive analysis of recent research. The data in this study were drawn from 20 articles published between 2013 and 2023. The results of the data analysis revealed four main challenges in implementing pair work for EFL writing: unequal participation, conflicting ideas and negotiation, differences in task progress and completion, and differences in language proficiency and language-related issues. This inquiry found that unequal participation and language proficiency disparities were the most frequently reported challenges across the studies. This study could specifically increase teachers' awareness of the potential obstacles in collaborative writing especially in pair work activities and help them develop strategies to mitigate these challenges, as it is hoped that addressing these issues will lead to more effective pair work implementation and improved learning outcomes in EFL writing classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate students' perceptions of using Kahoot! as a gamified learning tool in the context of English language instruction at IAIN Kendari. Involving 62 students from various academic programs, the research adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework, which includes four main constructs: Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Attitude Toward Use, and Behavioral Intention to Use. A structured questionnaire, adapted from Suh & Han, 2002 and Davis, 1989, was used to quantitatively measure student perceptions. The findings indicate that the majority of respondents provided positive feedback across all measured constructs. Students reported that Kahoot! was easy to use, improved their learning productivity, and created an enjoyable and interactive classroom environment. Furthermore, most students expressed their intention to continue using Kahoot! in future lessons and to recommend it to peers and lecturers. These results reinforce the effectiveness of gamification, particularly through Kahoot!, in enhancing student engagement, motivation, and academic outcomes. The study recommends broader integration of gamified platforms like Kahoot! to foster dynamic and participatory learning environments in higher education.
