Abstract

This study aims to see the learning model applied by lecturers in improving students' English skills and to see the lecturer and students' views on the English for Aviation course. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study design, where data is collected through observations checklist and conducting interviews with purposive sampling. Data were analysed by data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing and verification. The use of an integrated learning model is considered to take an important role by lecturers considering the short duration of learning, where several aspects of English Skills are combined into one learning material. In addition, speaking and listening are the two aspects that lecturers pay attention to considering that aviation learning is more communication with passengers.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of multimodal instructional media integrating text-based and video-based materials in developing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) vocabulary among Civic Education students, while also investigating potential gender-related differences in learning outcomes. Anchored in multimodal learning theory, the study proceeds from the premise that text and video constitute complementary rather than competing modes of vocabulary instruction, each contributing unique affordances to learners' lexical development. An interrupted time series quasi-experimental design was adopted, involving 82 second-semester Civic Education students at Universitas Negeri Makassar, Indonesia, who participated in four structured treatment sessions alternating between text-based and video-based instruction. Pre-test and post-test assessments were administered at every session, consistently demonstrating significant vocabulary gains across all treatments. Mean scores progressed from 75 (pre-test, Session 1) to 88 (post-test, Session 4), with female students outperforming their male counterparts across all assessment points. These findings contribute substantively to the ESP vocabulary research literature by demonstrating that multimodal text-video integration yields both immediate and cumulative vocabulary gains, and by foregrounding the pedagogical significance of gender as a variable in ESP instructional design.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how university students use interactional functions to build solid social interactions within their student organization. This research applied a qualitative descriptive method using observation and semi-structured interviews with six members of the organizational student, HMPS BE Creative in the English Department. The data were analyzed using a thematic approach. The findings reveal that students frequently used various interactional functions such as greetings, expressions of praise, empathy, support, and feedback to maintain closeness and emotional bonding. These interactional functions were also linked with elements of Social Interdependence Theory, including positive interdependence, individual accountability, promotive interaction, social skills, and group processing. The study highlights how students’ daily conversations reflect not only their task coordination but also their care, emotional intelligence, and efforts to create a supportive organizational culture. This research contributes to the understanding of how language functions strengthen social relationships in academic environments.
