Abstract

This study aimed to overview theories about songs to be using as media in classroom. Certainly, it might be difficult to imagine what the world would look like if tunes on the radio or on TV were off, or one could not listen to favourite song when working at home, driving a car, or study. Learning a foreign language is never easy. Children on the other hand haven‘t got a choice. At a very young age they get acquainted with a foreign language The purpose of this paper is to show that if songs are used properly, with well-defined aims, they can be an amazing tool in the language teachers’ hands. However, the results could be mixed effectiveness for the use of music depending on the linguistic level and the type and complexity of the information being recalled. It is important to know the characteristics of the age group we teach. That helps us understand their behaviour and the way their little brains function. We will achieve satisfying results only if we know their abilities and needs well.

Abstract

This research investigates how various contextual factors influence the accuracy of English pronunciation among Indonesian EFL learners. Motivation, exposure to the second language (L2), formal education, and interference from the first language (L1) are explored to address a gap in understanding their combined impact. Employing an explanatory sequential approach, the research gathers quantitative data through questionnaires and pronunciation tests administered to 30 EFL learners, selected using cluster sampling from a total of 80 students across three classes. Qualitative insights were then obtained from five randomly chosen participants in follow-up interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics, while the qualitative data were examined through deductive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that L1 interference has the strongest impact on pronunciation accuracy, particularly in fricatives and diphthongs, where learners substitute unfamiliar sounds with native ones. L2 exposure significantly improves pronunciation, especially through authentic media and interactions. Motivation, while influential, indirectly aids pronunciation by fostering self-directed learning. However, formal education has minimal impact, as pronunciation receives little focus in traditional classrooms. These results highlight the need for targeted phonetic training, immersive exposure, and explicit pronunciation instruction. The study calls for pedagogical reforms to enhance communicative competence and confidence.

The population included 95 students from grades 10 to 12 who regularly used both tools for English writing. After a pilot test with 30 students, 65 students were selected as the final sample. Data were gathered using a validated questionnaire via Google Forms, covering four dimensions: tool features, Grammarly and QuillBot are al-power tool that help users identity and correct grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure errors.

This research explores students’ perceptions of Grammarly and quillBot for writing development at Ma Annur Teluk Palinget in the year of 2025 by focusing on Grammar improvement and the factors shaping those perception.feedback quality, knowledge and ability development, and learning experience. Analysis used frequency, percentage, and mean scores in Microsoft Excel. Validity (Pearson > 0.349) and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.967) were confirmed through pilot testing. The results indicate that students at MA Annur Teluk Palinget held very positive perceptions of both Grammarly and QuillBot, with identical overall mean scores of 3.85. All dimensions—features, feedback quality, knowledge development, and learning experience—were rated very positively, with over 80% strongly agreeing that the tools provided helpful grammar feedback, clear suggestions, and useful explanations. Students particularly noted improvements in understanding subject-verb agreement (89%), sentence structure (85%), and tense consistency (80%), along with increased confidence and motivation. These perceptions were primarily shaped by three factors: accessibility (mean: 3.91), educational effectiveness (3.84), and user experience (3.83), which explained 77% of the total variance. While a small number of students raised concerns—such as language barriers, internet dependence, and feedback accuracy for complex grammar—both tools significantly supported grammar improvement and were seen as suitable for integration into high school EFL instruction

Abstract

Abstract This study explores the intricacies of figurative language and speech acts within five selected short stories from "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." Through a qualitative analysis grounded in the theories of Austin and Searle for speech acts, and further supported by the descriptive insights of figurative language as discussed by Adiwangsa & Sakinah (2023) and Ampa & Quraisy (2018), this research aims to identify the dominant types of speech acts and the underlying meanings conveyed through figurative expressions. The methodology encompasses content analysis, with the researcher herself acting as the primary instrument, supplemented by digital tools for text examination. The findings reveal the prevalence of directive, expressive, and representative speech acts manifested in similes, metaphors, and metonyms, underscoring the significance of these linguistic features in enhancing the interpretative richness of literary texts. This study contributes to the broader discourse on linguistic analysis in literature, offering insights into the dynamic interplay between language form and function, and its educational implications in English Language and Arts curricula.
