Abstract

This study investigates teachers’ perception on the use of ICT in ESP class. This research employed a qualitative case study. The semi structured interview was used to collect the data. The data from the interview were analyzed with Thematic Analysis using Nvivo R14 software. The qualitative data analysis resulted in two primary themes supported with several subthemes. The two primary themes are teachers’ positive perception and teachers’ challenges. The teachers perceived ICT facilitates ESP teaching and it makes teaching more enjoyable. However, the challenges such as the increase of copy-paste/cheating habits, limited internet access and the difficulty of monitoring students still occur during the class. The findings of this study would give a better insight of what constitutes an environment that is conducive for learning where ICT is integrated into the classroom especially ESP class.

Abstract

Academic writing skills are one of the essential aspects of developing students’ academic literacy from the beginning of their university studies. However, most first-year students in the 2025 academic year in the English Department, Faculty of Languages and Literature, Universitas Negeri Makassar, still face difficulties in understanding the structure, language, and ethic of academic writing. This community service aims to improve the academic literacy skills of first-year students through a comprehensive and practical academic writing training program. The implementation methods included several stages, namely pre-test, material presentation, writing exercise, and post-test. The Training materials covered the structure of scientific papers, the use of academic language, paraphrasing techniques, citation ethics, and reference management using reference manager tools. The participants consisted of 40 first-year students who took part in a full-day training session. The results showed a significant improvement in all assessment aspects, with the average score increasing from 56.8 in the pre-test to 83.9 in the post-test. The highest improvement was observed in the accuracy of citation and referencing, which increased by 33.2%. These findings indicate that the training effectively enhanced students’ understanding of systematic and ethical principles of academic writing. Therefore, this activity contributes to strengthening the academic culture and preparing students for academic writing during their studies.

Abstract

Digital learning innovations have increasingly transformed English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly in promoting learner autonomy, engagement, and reflection. Among these innovations, e-portofolios have been recognised as powerful tools for integrating language learning with professional skills. However, previous research has primarily focused on e-portofolios in writing and general English context, while limited attention has been given to their use in teaching accounting vocabulary, where learners often struggle to understand and retain specific terminology. This gap between theoretical expectations and classroom realities highlights the need to explore how e-portfolios can facilitate vocabulary learning in ESP courses.  This study aims to investigate student’s experience with Google Sites e-portofolios for learning accounting vocabulary in an English for Accounting course at Bahasa Inggris Program Sarjana Terapan Study Program, Universitas Negeri Makassar. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the data were gathered from eight students through semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically. The findings revealed that students' first impressions were characterised by enthusiasm, curiosity, and a motivation to use Google Sites as an innovative learning platform. The process of creating and managing e-portfolios fostered creativity, organisation, and digital literacy, as students designed pages and linked vocabulary items to authentic accounting materials. Students perceived several benefits, including improved understanding and retention of accounting terms, enhanced confidence, and a stronger connection between academic learning and professional application. Despite minor challenges such as technical issues and time constraints, participants regarded e-portfolios as engaging and valuable learning tools. The study concludes that Google Sites e-portfolios effectively promote learner autonomy, reflection, and engagement in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context. It is recommended that future ESP instruction provide technical orientation and continuous support to maximise the benefits of e-portfolios in language learning.

Abstract

This study examines how Indonesian online news constructs the discourse of rupiah redenomination by analysing linguistic patterns, discursive structures, and ideological representations embedded within financial reporting. Using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the article “Pemerintah Kembali Hidupkan Wacana Redenominasi Rupiah, Ekonomi Peringatkan Risiko Inflasi” was analysed across five levels: textual analysis, discursive practice, social practice, integrated interpretation, and explanatory critique. The findings indicate a discursive tension between government ambition to advance redenomination as a formal policy initiative and economists’ cautionary framing that emphasises risks of inflation, unstable exchange rates, high implementation costs, and uneven public readiness. The news text privileges technocratic voices and constructs redenomination as a potentially destabilising policy rather than a symbol of economic modernisation. This study concludes that online media play a critical role in shaping public perception by foregrounding expert skepticism and reproducing ideologies of fiscal prudence, market stability, and technocratic authority.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines students’ perceptions and motivation toward the use of the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) technique in English for Economics classrooms. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews to students from Economics faculties. The results indicate that students generally perceive TSTS as an engaging and enjoyable method that enhances their understanding of English materials through peer explanation, interaction, and collaborative learning. Most participants stated that TSTS made complex concepts easier to grasp, increased their participation, and allowed them to learn new vocabulary and communication skills in a more relaxed environment. In terms of motivation, the technique encouraged students to prepare before class, boosted their confidence in speaking, and reduced anxiety compared to traditional lecture-based teaching. However, several challenges were noted, including limited time for explanation, uneven group roles, and the need for clearer instructions. Despite these constraints, students strongly recommended the continued use of TSTS and suggested improvements in time management, group allocation, and the addition  of games or ice-breaking activities to enhance engagement. The study concludes that TSTS is an effective and motivating collaborative strategy for teaching English for Economics.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the types, perceptions, and how self-regulated learning influences students' motivation when learning vocabulary. The researcher used a qualitative descriptive method to achieve the research objectives. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Participants in this study were twelve English Language Education students in the 2023/2024 academic year, who were selected purposively. Based on the results of the study, there are seven forms of self-regulated learning that students use in learning: learning from English podcasts on YouTube, learning from watching gaming YouTube content, learning from English songs, learning from watching English films, learning from OME TV, learning by posting vocabulary lists in easily visible places, and learn by English Message. Students also have various perceptions about self-regulated learning that help maintain their motivation when learning vocabulary, namely because they feel the positive impact of implementing self-regulated learning, remember their learning process, SRL makes their learning more enjoyable, they are motivated because their learning strategies are the same as their hobbies, and they are motivated because the strategies are easy to use. So, it can be concluded that self-regulated learning acts as an effective bridge between personal interests and academic goals, changing vocabulary learning from a passive effort into an active, autonomous, sustainable, and highly motivating process.

Abstract

This systematic literature review maps the landscape of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, with a focus on Indonesia’s setting. Guided by the PRISMA framework, the review synthesizes 20 recent studies (2024-2025) to analyze the integration of bicultural materials or culturally nuanced resources, the instructional strategies employed, and the resulting learning outcomes. Findings reveal that effective CRT implementation predominantly utilizes multimodal, project-based strategies, such as comparative cultural analysis, digital storytelling, and role-play, leveraging culturally nuanced resources like local folklore, artifacts, and traditions. The synthesis demonstrates that this pedagogical approach yields a dual benefit: it significantly enhances specific English language competencies (notably vocabulary mastery, writing, and speaking skills) while concurrently fostering critical socio-affective outcomes, including strengthened cultural identity, intercultural awareness, student motivation, and critical thinking. The study presents evidence-based strategies grounded in practical application to effectively pair local content with interactive pedagogy. These findings contribute to the discourse on equitable language learning by providing a validated map of practices that support both language achievement and cultural competence. The study advances the field by proposing integrated frameworks for material selection and instructional strategy to enhance holistic learning, while underscoring the necessity for further empirical research across diverse K-12 settings to validate and adapt these approaches.

Abstract

This systematic literature review synthesizes empirical research from 2020 to 2025 to evaluate the efficacy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an assisted-language learning tool in enhancing the speaking skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Following the PRISMA framework, an analysis of 22 studies reveals that AI tools, categorized into speech recognition tutors, conversational chatbots, and comprehensive platforms, demonstrate significant potential in improving specific micro-skills. The evidence indicates that pronunciation is the most frequently enhanced aspect (cited in 19 out of 22 studies), followed by fluency (17 studies), vocabulary (14 studies), and grammar (13 studies). Key pedagogical drivers underpinning this efficacy are the provision of immediate, personalized feedback, adaptive learning paths, and the creation of low-anxiety practice environments, which also contribute to improved speaking confidence (noted in 12 studies). However, the review identifies persistent and significant challenges. These include technical limitations in processing non-native accents and spontaneous speech, a lack of human-like interaction for developing pragmatic and cultural competencies, and critical issues of equitable access and data privacy. Methodologically, the field is constrained by small-scale studies (samples of n=20 to n=93) and short intervention periods (4 to 14 weeks), which limit generalizability. The central conclusion is that successful outcomes are not dependent on the AI tools alone but hinge on their strategic, pedagogically-aligned integration within a blended learning ecosystem that complements human instruction. Consequently, this study provides practical implications for curriculum design and teacher training, emphasizing the need for pedagogical integration over mere tool adoption. It recommends future research to pursue longitudinal studies, more robust methodological designs, and the development of more linguistically and culturally adaptive AI technologies to bridge the gap between technological potential and equitable, effective educational practice.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) remains a major global health burden. Spirometry is the diagnostic gold standard but has limitations for functional assessment. CPET provides a comprehensive evaluation of integrated cardiopulmonary and metabolic responses during exercise and may improve diagnostic and management decisions in COPD. This study aim to determine the diagnostic quality of CPET parameters for COPD. Methods: Observational analytic cross-sectional study using synchronized spirometry and CPET data from medical records at Universitas Sebelas Maret Hospital. Thirty-seven eligible records were analyzed after ethics approval. CPET parameters included VO₂max, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and VE/VCO₂ slope. Discrimination was assessed with AUC; diagnostic performance used chi-square; correlation with obstruction severity used GOLD classification (p<0.05). Results: Of 37 subjects, 23 had COPD; COPD status was significantly associated with older age and smoking (both p<0.05). VO₂max (sensitivity = 73.9%; specificity = 78.6%), RER (78.3%; 78.6%), and VE/VCO₂ slope (78.3%; 71.4%) showed useful discrimination (AUC = 0.795, 0.846, and 0.742; χ² p = 0.002, 0.001, and 0.003, respectively). Among CPET parameters, RER correlated significantly with obstruction severity by GOLD (p<0.05), while VO₂max and VE/VCO₂ slope did not (p>0.05), though trends were worse with more severe disease. Conclusion: Spirometry and CPET together aid diagnosis, evaluation, and prognostication in COPD; combining them may enhance comprehensive management.
