Abstract

This study investigates the speaking difficulties experienced by English major students, addressing the limited qualitative insights into how these learners perceive and manage such challenges in real communicative contexts. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from four university students through semi-structured interviews, recorded as mobile voice notes and transcribed verbatim to ensure accuracy. The findings reveal that linguistic obstacles, particularly difficulties in vocabulary retrieval and grammatical construction, contribute to frequent use of fillers such as “ee” and “hmmm,” indicating processing challenges during speech production. In addition, psychological factors, especially anxiety and fear of negative evaluation, significantly hinder students’ speaking performance by increasing their affective filter. Environmental factors, including an overemphasis on theoretical instruction, further limit opportunities for meaningful speaking practice. Despite these challenges, students demonstrate strategic competence by employing paraphrasing, simple expressions, and non-verbal cues to maintain communication. These findings suggest that effective language instruction should balance linguistic development with psychological support and provide more opportunities for communicative practice in supportive learning environments.

Abstract

Intensive summer language courses offer an accelerated path for academic progression, yet they require substantial temporal sacrifices from students who must study during their official holidays. This study investigated the learning motivation dynamics and psychological experiences of EFL students navigating a high-density, daily summer English program at an Indonesian university. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study design, data were gathered through individual, one-on-one semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected university students (n = 5). The individual interview records were compiled into complete verbatim transcripts and analyzed using a descriptive narrative approach. The findings revealed that although students experienced initial emotional friction, including laziness, nervousness, and social media jealousy, they successfully maintained their learning focus. Their academic endurance was heavily driven by clear extrinsic goals, such as securing grades, finishing credit requirements, and ensuring timely graduation. Furthermore, a supportive classroom environment, highly interactive teaching styles, and smaller class sizes effectively transformed the potential stress of a fast-paced schedule into a positive tool for focused learning. This study implies that the success of intensive programs relies heavily on instructors maintaining empathetic, high-engagement pedagogy to mitigate student mental fatigue.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the levels of vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension achievement among ninth-grade students at SMPN 2 Airmadidi, North Sulawesi, and to determine whether a significant correlation exists between these two linguistic variables. Utilizing a quantitative correlational research design, a sample of 32 students was selected from the population. Data were gathered through two distinct instruments adapted from the official grade IX English textbook Bright an English: a vocabulary mastery test focusing on word classes and meanings, and a reading comprehension test evaluating main idea identification, literal comprehension, and contextual vocabulary inference. To ensure data integrity, an initial pilot study was conducted to analyze instrument validity and reliability. The empirical results indicate that students with higher levels of vocabulary mastery consistently demonstrate stronger reading comprehension capabilities. The data reject the null hypothesis (Ho), confirming a positive, meaningful connection where expansive vocabulary knowledge functions as a critical determinant of textual comprehension success. The pedagogical implications suggest that English teachers should implement explicit vocabulary enhancement strategies to systematically scaffold students' secondary reading achievements.
