Abstract

This research explores teachers' perspectives on strategies to enhance students' motivation in learning English at MTsN 4 Buton Selatan. The research identifies challenges such as student passivity and limited vocabulary, which hinder engagement in language learning. Using a phenomenological approach, data were collected from three teachers through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with NVivo software. The findings highlight that intrinsic motivation, driven by curiosity and personal interest, and extrinsic motivation, influenced by family, peers, and environment, were critical for fostering learning engagement. Teachers employed strategies such as creating supportive classroom environments, assigning meaningful tasks, offering praise, and providing constructive feedback to address motivational barriers. These approaches were crucial in enhancing students' willingness to participate and succeed. This research concludes by emphasizing the importance of holistic and adaptive teaching methods to balance intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for effective learning. Future research could focus on long-term impacts of motivational strategies and sociocultural influences on English language acquisition

Abstract

This research investigates the linguistic features of English variety used by Indonesian speakers in professional settings, specifically among pediatricians, South Sulawesi TVRI broadcasters, and waitresses. The research addresses how occupational background and first language influence the use of English in spoken interactions. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through recorded interviews with seven participants from the three professions. The analysis focused on phonological, lexical, and syntactic features, revealing a range of linguistic phenomena such as vowel shifts, glottal stops, and code-switching, which reflect both regional accents and the speakers' social contexts. Notably, pediatricians showed phonological transfer from regional languages like Butonese and Buginese, while broadcasters demonstrated lexical borrowing and occasional formal register inconsistency. Waitresses exhibited simpler sentence structures with noticeable pronunciation influences from their vernaculars. The findings highlight how English spoken by Indonesian professionals is shaped not only by linguistic competence but also by sociolinguistic variables such as occupation, regional origin, and communicative purpose. This research contributes to the understanding of World Englishes and emphasizes the importance of sociolinguistic awareness in teaching and evaluating English proficiency in multilingual societies.
