Abstract

Proper diction relates to the choice of words used in conveying an idea. Diction in speaking becomes a difficulty for English teachers in classroom interactions. Especially for beginner English teachers, some of them are still unfamiliar with choosing the right/good vocabulary for describing and explaining material in teaching or using English to give some instructions. This study aimed at finding out the effect of diction used by the teachers during the interaction in the EFL class. This research applied qualitative research design and applied discourse analysis method specifically conversational analysis on the teachers’ utterances. Respondents who participated in this research were two English teachers and students respectively. The researchers collected the data through observation by recording teachers’ voices and interviews. This research found that the words or terms used by both teachers had an impact on the interaction, feedback and students’ interest in learning English.  Miscommunication, misunderstandings, as well as a few feedbacks occurred in the classroom.  There were a few learning aspects faced by both observed teachers to use proper word choice. They were a source of materials, teaching media and tools, as well as teacher training. All of them constrained those English teachers to employ the proper words during interaction in the classroom. Teachers are expected to be careful in choosing words or terms to establish communication between teachers and students.

The seven-nucleus approach is being used at Cambridge English College (CEC) Makassar. This approach is a way to memorize tenses using seven certain verbs in English which are present, past, perfect, future, modal, and continues verbs. The current study employed a pre-experimental design with a single group for the pre and post-tests. The sample only included one class of 10 pupils, chosen using the technique of cluster sampling. The results demonstrated that the student’s writing ability had improved. It was three indicators of progress: language use had improved by 22.96%; content had improved by 12.3%; and organization had improved by 22.83%. The overall improvement was 19.48%. When compared to the pretest before the treatment, the student's writing competence was 1950 on the posttest, and the value of the t-test (7.440) was higher than the t-table (2.262). The research concluded that the use of seven Nucleus was beneficial in improving students' skills of writing in terms of the language writing content, and organization at Cambridge English College (CEC) Makassar based on its findings and discussion.

Abstract

A staple issue in English language teaching is the fact that individual students in formal classrooms usually have minimal opportunity to speak due to large class sizes. Recent studies have vouched language laboratories to be capable of overcoming this barrier. As far as the researchers know, no study has launched a wide investigation whether a language laboratory exists and is used to optimise the English learning in the Islamic schools in Majene, Indonesia. This research applies descriptive quantitative design, involving 22 Islamic schools in the level of junior high school. 22 English teachers that represents all the schools filled a questionnaire to provide the data. It is found that the Islamic schools at Majene do not yet have a language laboratory even though the English teachers consider it important. Its absence is influenced by the lack of support from leaders. As a result, listening practice activities are rarely carried out. English teachers only carry out practical activities in the classroom with limited tools and materials. This research illuminates a concern for policy makers in the Ministry of Religious Affairs in the field of Islamic school education and the principals to hold a language laboratory at Islamic Schools. To improve English learning activities, the existence of a language laboratory in Islamic schools is matter, so that students at Islamic schools can show their quality in foreign language mastery and compete with others.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the common writing errors made by college students in business English writing and investigate the contributing factors. The study employed a mixed-method approach to comprehensively analyze writing errors in the business English context. The research population comprised college students enrolled in Writing for Business Communication courses at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, with a sample of 100 students majoring in English education. The findings highlighted content errors, organization challenges, vocabulary issues, language use discrepancies, and mechanics errors in their writing. The most common errors encompassed grammatical errors in language use (48%), errors in conveying business messages in content (45%), and document structural errors in organization (38%). Moreover, the study identified several significant factors contributing to these writing errors, including a lack of practice, a limited understanding of business concepts, resource limitations, inadequate feedback, and time constraints. This study underscores the importance of addressing these specific writing challenges in business English education, offering insights for educators to develop targeted strategies and materials. It also contributes to the broader field by highlighting the unique errors within business English writing and emphasizing the need for specialized instruction. Ultimately, this research informs both pedagogical approaches and students' preparation for future careers in the globalized business environment.

Abstract

This study investigates innovative strategies and challenges in online grammar instruction within the English Language Education Department at IAIN Parepare, Indonesia. As digital learning becomes increasingly integrated into higher education, the research focuses on the experiences of 40 students and 5 online grammar instructors. Through a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys of all 40 students and in-depth interviews with the 5 tutors, this study investigates the adaptation of traditional grammar teaching methods to digital platforms. Key findings reveal that interactive tools, gamification, and personalized learning paths significantly enhance student engagement and comprehension in online grammar lessons. However, challenges such as varying levels of digital literacy among students, maintaining consistent motivation in virtual environments, and the limitations of asynchronous communication emerge as significant hurdles. The study concludes by proposing a tailored framework for effective online grammar instruction at IAIN Parepare, emphasizing the integration of culturally relevant multimedia resources, collaborative learning activities, and adaptive assessment techniques. These insights contribute to the growing body of knowledge on digital pedagogy in Indonesian higher education and offer practical implications for educators navigating the complexities of online language instruction in similar institutional settings.
