Abstract

This study investigates students' perspectives and the impacts of using music in the English learning process. Conducted with 35 students from the English Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar, the research employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, combining quantitative data from Likert-scale questionnaires and qualitative insights from interviews. The quantitative analysis revealed a mean score of 100.31, indicating an overall positive perspective among students. Key findings demonstrated that music enhances motivation (77.15% agreement), improves vocabulary retention (74.29%), and creates a relaxed learning environment (62.86%). Students also reported increased confidence and engagement. However, challenges such as fast-paced lyrics (60% agreement) and occasional pronunciation difficulties were noted. Qualitative interviews corroborated these results, highlighting music’s role in reducing anxiety and fostering enjoyment. The study concludes that integrating music into English learning is highly beneficial, supporting cognitive and emotional aspects of language acquisition. Recommendations include incorporating diverse music genres, addressing pronunciation challenges, and optimizing song selection to align with learners’ proficiency levels. These findings underscore music’s potential as an effective pedagogical tool, encouraging educators to leverage its advantages while mitigating identified challenges.

Abstract

This qualitative study aims to explore how ChatGPT influences students’ learning motivation in the context of English language learning. The study is motivated by the increasing integration of artificial intelligence in education, which is believed to enhance students’ engagement and self-directed learning. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten sixth-semester students of the English Education Department at Universitas Negeri Makassar, who were selected using purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was applied to identify recurring patterns in students’ perceptions. The findings indicate that ChatGPT has a positive impact on students’ learning motivation through three main aspects: autonomy, competence, and engagement. ChatGPT enhances students’ sense of autonomy by providing flexible access to information, quick responses, and personalized assistance that allow learners to control their own learning pace. It strengthens students’ competence by simplifying difficult materials, offering detailed explanations, and building their confidence in understanding English reading texts. Furthermore, ChatGPT promotes engagement by creating interactive learning experiences and providing enjoyable, low-pressure communication that reduces anxiety and increases participation. Several participants also mentioned that ChatGPT encourages curiosity and inspires them to explore learning materials beyond classroom instruction. However, some students reported a potential drawback, noting that overreliance on ChatGPT may decrease self-initiative in independent study. Overall, the results suggest that ChatGPT functions as an effective virtual learning assistant that supports both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, fosters self-regulated learning, and contributes to students’ enthusiasm for developing English proficiency.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the attitudes of English education students at Makassar State University's English Department toward English language learning during the fourth semester of the 2023–2024 academic year. Because the descriptive quantitative approach can be utilized to get information on students' perceptions of linguistic attitudes, the researcher used it as the design method. A questionnaire was also provided to gather data. Thirty students from classes A, B, and D at Universitas Negeri Makassar made up the study's sample. The sample was gathered using the Random Sampling Technique. With 15 (50%) students classed as having a good attitude and 15 (50%) as having a neutral attitude, the results demonstrated that students generally had a fairly positive and neutral attitude. Since they understand the many advantages of learning the language, pupils' motivation in English is inextricably related to their optimistic outlook. 72% of students strongly felt that it is very important for their academic and future professional lives, according to these statistics.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the impact of mother tongue use on students' English-speaking skills in terms of fluency, accuracy, confidence, expression, and response. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach and was conducted at SMP Negeri 7 Mappakasunggu, Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi. The research subjects consisted of six eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling based on their tendency to use their mother tongue in English-speaking activities. Data were collected through classroom observation and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The results showed that excessive use of the mother tongue had an impact on low fluency, grammatical errors, limited vocabulary, underdeveloped expression, and slow and brief responses. However, this study also found that the mother tongue has a positive and constructive role, particularly in helping students understand the material, formulate ideas before speaking, and increase their sense of security and courage through translanguaging practices. Thus, the mother tongue does not only function as an obstacle, but can also be a source of support for learning to speak English when used in a targeted manner.
