Abstract

Studies on English language learning practices in Sport have received considerable interest from scholars in recent years due to the significance of English skills for graduates in the job market and professional settings. However, there is limited research that has focused on investigating the needs of Sport students in learning English through effective pedagogical approaches that integrate Project-based Learning (PjBL) with 4C skills: Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity. This study aims to 1) investigate the specific English learning needs of Sport students in higher education, and 2) examine preferred learning approaches that integrate PjBL with 4C skills. This exploratory sequential mixed-methods design combined quantitative data from structured questionnaires with qualitative insights from interviews, involving 52 sport students (30 males and 22 females) at a higher education institution in Sungai Penuh, Jambi, Indonesia. The findings reveal that sports students require proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar, with a particular emphasis on sports-specific terminology and contexts. Furthermore, the qualitative results indicate that students strongly favor learning approaches that are collaborative, authentic, and project-based. They perceive Project-Based Learning (PBL) as highly effective, particularly when it promotes 4C skills. Students expressed those tasks such as video creation, podcast production, simulations, and team discussions enhance their engagement, confidence, and practical language use. These findings suggest that integrating PjBL with 4C skills into English instruction is essential for meeting the specific language needs of sports students and enhancing their readiness for global professional environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the collocational errors made by English Department students at Universitas Negeri Padang in their Indonesian–English translations. Collocational competence is essential for producing natural and fluent language, especially in EFL contexts. Using a corpus-based method and descriptive quantitative design, 21 student translations were analyzed for lexical and grammatical collocation errors using AntConc, COCA, BNC, OZDIC, and the Oxford Collocations Dictionary. A total of 45 errors were identified: 22 lexical and 23 grammatical. The most frequent error type was verb + preposition, suggesting significant L1 interference and insufficient collocational instruction. Pedagogical implications include the need for explicit teaching of collocations, integration of corpus tools, and contrastive analysis between English and Indonesian. The findings support the integration of collocational awareness into translation pedagogy for improved learner fluency and accuracy.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at MTsN 3 Solok Selatan based on Nation’s theory, which includes three aspects: form, meaning, and use. The participants were 30 students from class VII.1 selected through purposive sampling. The vocabulary test consisted of 30 questions, with 10 items for each aspect. This study used a quantitative descriptive method to measure students’ mastery levels. The results showed that the average score in the form aspect was 53.67%, in the meaning aspect was 52.33%, and in the use aspect was 49.33%. These findings indicate that students are more familiar with the form of words, such as spelling and pronunciation, but still struggle to understand word meanings and use them correctly in context. The lowest achievement was found in the use aspect, suggesting that students need more practice in applying vocabulary in real communication. Based on the results, it is recommended that teachers use teaching strategies that integrate form, meaning, and use, such as puzzles, games, and contextual speaking tasks to improve students’ vocabulary mastery. Future researchers are encouraged to explore effective vocabulary learning methods to support students’ improvement, especially in the use aspect.

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of students towards blended learning using YouTube as a teaching tool. Blended learning, which combines traditional face-to-face teaching with online methods, has emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges. Blended learning allows students to access course materials and engage in activities both in the classroom and through digital platforms like YouTube. This study, conducted at Ekasakti University with 54 students divided into three groups, employed questionnaires, interviews, and observations to gather comprehensive data. The findings indicate a generally positive perception among students towards the use of YouTube in blended learning. Students recognize the benefits of YouTube in enhancing language learning experiences, as evidenced by high mean scores for statements emphasizing its effectiveness. However, concerns were raised regarding certain aspects of using YouTube, reflected in consistently low mean scores for specific statements across all groups. Addressing these concerns is crucial for optimizing the effectiveness of blended learning with YouTube and ensuring its successful integration into educational practices. Overall, while students largely appreciate the benefits of blended learning with YouTube, addressing their concerns is essential to further enhance its effectiveness and promote student engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of project-based concern to develop an English coursebook model for maritime training aligned with Seafarers' STSDD certification requirements. Following Gall Borg model design, the research obviously aimed to create an interactive teaching material model suitable for a foundational English course tailored for seafarers. Educational needs were identified through surveys, interviews, and documentation, revealing ten thematic areas structured with five tasks each. These thematic areas encompassed essential topics such as maritime communication, safety procedures, navigation, marine engineering, cargo operations, environmental awareness, cultural competence, legal aspects, health, and emergencies. Tasks within these areas included theoretical knowledge, in-class exercises, and practical field assignments designed to enhance both individual and group learning experiences. These components were meticulously aligned with standards aimed at improving English for Maritime language skills among seafarers preparing for STSDD certification. The resulting teaching material model project-based concern tailored guidelines specific to the unique contexts of maritime training. Effectiveness was assessed using the N-Gain Score, resulting in a score of 0.86 (86.36%), indicating a significant enhancement in language skills. The findings suggest that this project-based concern not only improves seafarers English for Maritime language skills but also holds practical implications for onboard application. By incorporating project-based concern and specific materials, educators can optimize training programs to better equip seafarers for the linguistic demands of their roles and the requirements of STSDD certification exams.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of English textbooks for economics in aligning with the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, which integrates technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge to enhance language learning. Descriptive qualitative was applied in this study. The analysis focused on four English textbooks: Career Path: Banking, Career Path: Business English, General English Material for Economic Students, and English for Islamic Banking. The evaluation revealed several limitations in these textbooks, such as inadequate alignment with economic content, lack of clear target audience and instructional objectives, insufficient technology integration, and minimal opportunities for interactive and dynamic learning experiences. These deficiencies were found to delay the development of essential language skills, including grammar, pronunciation, and communication, which are crucial for academic and professional success in the field of economics and banking. Furthermore, the analysis highlighted the absence of diverse activities that connect language skills with real-world applications, limiting the students' ability to effectively apply their knowledge in relevant scenarios. The textbooks also lacked comprehensive instructional support for listening and writing skills, critical thinking, and digital literacy, which are vital components of a modern, technology-enhanced learning environment. The study suggests that a more tailored approach, incorporating the TPACK framework, is necessary to address these gaps. By fostering interactive and immersive learning experiences, future textbooks can better meet the specific needs of economics students, promote active participation, and enhance both linguistic competence and digital literacy skills in preparation for global economic challenges.
