Abstract

Despite its increasing popularity among young adults, TikTok has been very slow in finding its way into the English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching profession. Yet before introducing the application into the EFL classrooms, it is no doubt imperative to discern what is preferable among EFL learners. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the extent to which EFL learners perceive TikTok as facilitating their learning. To this end, the participants (N = 31) were asked to fill out a short, online questionnaire to gather information about (i) whether they utilized TikTok as an affordance for their EFL learning and (ii) whether they perceive its integration into the EFL classrooms as facilitative of their learning. The findings revealed that although they did not explicitly mention that they used TikTok as an affordance for their EFL learning, they held a belief that TikTok is effective in promoting their English proficiency. According to the students, there were three factors of note which contribute to the effectiveness of TikTok, namely abundant authentic input availability, easy-to-grasp information and availability of free tuition related to English language learning. Pedagogically, it implies that TikTok is worth integrating into the EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study delves into phonological processes and changes in two distinct categories of loanwords in Japanese: gairaigo (foreign loanwords) and wasei eigo (Japanese-coined English words). Gairaigo are borrowings from foreign languages, predominantly English, while wasei eigo refers to words created within the Japanese language using English morphemes. The phonological adaptation of these loanwords undergoes various processes, e.g., assimilation, syllable structure, attenuation and strengthening, and neutralization. These processes are reflecting the dynamic nature of language contact and cultural exchange. In the case of gairaigo, phonological processes often involve the adaptation of sounds to conform to Japanese phonotactics and speech patterns. This may include the simplification or substitution of consonant clusters, vowel lengthening or shortening, and the incorporation of pitch accent patterns native to Japanese. Wasei eigo, on the other hand, undergoes phonological changes rooted in the native Japanese phonological system. Despite being constructed with English morphemes, wasei eigo words often exhibit phonetic features characteristic of Japanese. Moreover, these words may evolve over time through processes of sound change and assimilation, reflecting shifts in linguistic preferences and cultural influences. Overall, the phonological adaptation of gairaigo and wasei eigo showcases the linguistic borrowing, cultural assimilation, and the phonological systems of both source and target languages. Understanding these processes provides insights into the dynamic nature of language contact and the evolution of linguistic diversity in Japanese society.

Abstract

Despite the significance of motivation and pragmatic competence for L2 learners, surprisingly, research into L2 pragmatics learning motivation is almost non-existent. Drawing on the self-determination theory of human motivation, the present study was carried out to investigate the level and nature of Indonesian EFL learners’ motivation for L2 pragmatics learning. A total of 76 Indonesian-speaking sophomores studying international business management were asked to fill out a tailor-made, 29-item online questionnaire designed to measure the level and nature of their motivation for L2 pragmatics learning. It was found that (i) Indonesian EFL students’ motivation for L2 pragmatics learning was insufficiently high, (ii) their intrinsic motivation was the highest compared to other types of motivation, and (iii) their external motivation was surprisingly low. These findings can be explained in the light of the students’ previously instructed foreign language learning experiences which placed undue emphasis on the formal aspects of the target language while marginalizing the social ones. Pedagogically, the findings imply that, owing to the malleability of human motivation, EFL teachers should employ principled instructional methods to promote their students’ L2 pragmatics learning motivation. Be that as it may, further studies need to be conducted to (in) validate the above-mentioned findings, taking into consideration the limitations of the present study.

Abstract

This study critically examines the integration of indigenous languages in formal education systems, emphasizing the significance of mother tongue instruction in fostering inclusive, culturally relevant, and effective learning environments. The primary aim of this research is to explore the extent to which indigenous languages are incorporated into school curricula, assess the challenges and benefits associated with such integration, and analyse the implications for students’ cognitive development, identity formation, and academic achievement. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of linguistic human rights and sociocultural learning theory, the study investigates how language policy and pedagogical practices either support or hinder the use of mother tongue instruction. A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing document analysis and semi-structured interviews with educators, policymakers, and community leaders in regions where indigenous language programs are either implemented or lacking. The data collected was thematically analysed to identify recurring patterns, contradictions, and contextual variations in the treatment of indigenous languages within formal education systems. The findings reveal a persistent marginalization of indigenous languages, despite national and international policies advocating for multilingual education. In cases where indigenous languages are integrated, improvements in students’ engagement, comprehension, and cultural pride were noted. However, numerous obstacles persist, including lack of trained teachers, insufficient teaching materials, and limited institutional support. The analysis underscores the need for more inclusive and participatory policy-making that involves local communities and recognizes the pedagogical and cultural value of indigenous languages. In conclusion, the study advocates for a transformative shift in education policy and practice, promoting indigenous languages not only as mediums of instruction but also as essential elements of cultural preservation and empowerment. Effective integration requires collaborative efforts among governments, educators, and indigenous communities to ensure that every child can learn in a language they understand and identify with.
