Abstract

Language change is a process in which a language changes due to changes in the structure of its linguistic elements. This happens because there are factors that trigger language changes, and of course one of the factors is also due to the development of the times. This research aims to analyze language change that is sound change and differences in meaning. This research was done by interviewing parents and one of our friends. It uses a qualitative research method that analyzes several related Google journals and sources. The research results show that sound change and differences in meaning are parts of language change. The development of the times affects the change of language. In the family, it should be used in a polite tone so that it can be well received. The difference in meaning between the past and now is very different. For example, in the family environment, disagreements often occur between parents and children due to changing times. A child's intentions are often not heard and denied by parents, and vice versa.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Talking Stick method in improving the speaking skills of students at SMP N 2 Padang, addressing common issues like low proficiency, anxiety, and poor communication. Using a quantitative pre-experimental design, a single group of 32 students from class VIII.1 received a pre-test and a post-test. The results showed a significant improvement, with the average score increasing from 48.59 on the pre-test to 75 on the post-test. Statistical analysis confirmed this finding, as the calculated t-test value of 23.893 was significantly greater than the t-table value of 2.042, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The significance of these findings lies in their ability to provide empirical evidence that the Talking Stick method is a highly effective, data-backed tool for enhancing student speaking skills. This research offers a practical, actionable solution for teachers facing similar challenges in their classrooms and contributes to the existing body of literature by validating the method's effectiveness in a specific, localized context.

Abstract

The hotel industry’s demands on graduates from the hotel department in vocational school are high. However, graduates’ communication skills using English are still low because imbalance between English learning materials and workplace realities. This study aims to identify the needs of authentic English learning materials that align with industry language expectations. This explanatory sequential mixed-method design involved 62 hotel department students, 5 English teachers, and five hotel stakeholders in Padang, Indonesia. Questionnaires, interview guidelines, and focus group discussions (FGDs) were used to gather the quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. The results of this study indicate that both oral (e.g., greeting guests, managing complaints, and handling reservations) and written communication (e.g., confirmation emails and service reports) were highly prioritized for the hotel industry. Additionally, the vital authentic resources needed to be learned by students included reservation forms, brochures, guest service videos, and business emails. These findings highlight that teachers need to foster student engagement and professional competence by shifting from textbook-based to real-task-driven approaches to teach English in the hotel department of vocational schools.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and assess the effectiveness of inquiry-based teaching materials in enhancing both mathematical and language literacy among university-level mathematics students. Using the Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model, the research involved second-semester students from the Mathematics program at Universitas Negeri Padang, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires, observations, interviews, and tests assessing mathematical understanding and language literacy and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics along with thematic analysis for qualitative data. The results revealed significant improvements in student engagement, with 80% of participants reporting enhanced understanding and critical thinking. Furthermore, pre and post-test scores showed a notable increase in both mathematical and language literacy, from an average score of 60 in the pre-test to 78 in the post-test, alongside marked improvements in critical thinking, evaluation, and analysis skills. The findings demonstrate that the inquiry-based approach effectively promotes active learning and enhances both mathematical and language literacy. The novelty of this research lies in integrating inquiry-based learning to simultaneously address both cognitive and literacy skills in mathematics education, offering a more holistic approach to student development. This research suggests that incorporating such methods into the curriculum can foster more interactive, student-centered learning experiences, encouraging educators to adopt these approaches for improving critical thinking and literacy, thus enriching students' academic and professional capabilities.

Abstract

Despite the importance of hospitality expressions for professional service encounters, many vocational students struggle to use them appropriately due to limited opportunities for authentic communicative practice. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of authentic industry-based role-play in enhancing tourism students’ oral communication and learning engagement in Hospitality English classes. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 32 eleventh-grade tourism students. Data were collected through a speaking test and a questionnaire, and the intervention was conducted in six meetings with authentic role-play based on real hotel scenarios. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests. The results show that students’ oral English communication improved before and after the intervention. The improvement was shown in students’ speaking scores from the pre-test (M = 62.81) to the post-test (M = 81.34) and the paired-sample t-test (t(31) = -12.47, and a very large effect size p <. = 001, d = 2.20), suggesting that authentic industry-based role-play had a substantial impact on students’ speaking performance. Furthermore, students demonstrated a high level of learning engagement throughout the intervention, as reflected by a mean score of 4.36 (strongly high), indicating active participation, enthusiasm, and sustained involvement in classroom activities. The finding suggests that integrating authentic, workplace-oriented communicative tasks can effectively enhance students’ communicative competence, offering practical implications for ESP pedagogy, particularly in vocational hospitality education.

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used by English Education students to support independent language learning, yet its value may depend on how strategically learners regulate that use. This preliminary correlational study examined the relationship between AI-assisted self-regulated learning (AI-SRL) and perceived English communication skills among 30 undergraduate English Education students at Universitas Putra Indonesia YPTK Padang. Data were collected by using a 33-item five-point Likert questionnaire. Eight isolated missing responses (0.81% of all item responses) were replaced using respondent-mean imputation within the relevant construct. Corrected item-total analysis retained 13 AI-SRL items and 7 communication items, producing acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .876 and .713, respectively). AI-SRL showed a high point estimate (M = 3.77, SD = 0.44), whereas perceived communication skills were moderate (M = 3.53, SD = 0.34). Pearson correlation indicated a positive association (r = .397, p = .030, 95% CI [.043, .663]), and HC3-robust regression showed that AI-SRL explained 15.8% of the variance in perceived communication skills (B = .307, p = .049). However, rank-based sensitivity analysis was weaker, so the findings should be interpreted as preliminary. The study highlights regulated AI use rather than technology use alone and suggests that AI-supported English learning should cultivate goal setting, monitoring, verification, reflection, and meaningful human communication practice.
