Abstract

This study explores Indonesian English teachers' perspectives on English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and its importance in workplace communication. Using grounded theory and narrative inquiry, the research investigates the experiences of four vocational English teachers to identify challenges, strategies, and suggestions for curriculum reform. The findings revealed that teachers frequently face psychological and linguistic obstacles, such as limited vocabulary and cultural differences, which hindered effective ELF communication. To address these issues, teachers employed pragmatic strategies and cultural adaptation techniques to facilitate workplace interactions. The study highlights the need to shift from traditional grammar-focused instruction toward ELF-informed methodologies that emphasize comprehensibility, intercultural competence, and practical communication skills. This approach aims to better prepare vocational Indonesian students for the complexities of global workplace environments. Overall, the research suggests for an inclusive and flexible English education system that strengthen intercultural understanding and communicative proficiency, essential for successful international collaboration and cross-cultural communication.

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving digital era, online advertising has emerged as a central strategy in marketing communication. While language plays a crucial role in crafting persuasive advertisements, few studies have provided a thematic synthesis of the linguistic strategies used in online ads. This study aims to identify and synthesize persuasive linguistic strategies as discussed in recent academic literature. The research employs thematic analysis based on Braun and Clarke’s six-phase framework. Data were collected from ten peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2020 and 2025, each focusing on persuasive language in digital advertising. The analysis revealed four dominant themes: Emotional Resonance, Building Credibility, Interactive Appeal, and Aesthetic Persuasion. These findings demonstrate that language in online advertising is not only used to convey product information but also to establish emotional connections, build trust, stimulate audience engagement, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the message. The study offers practical implications for advertisers, encouraging a focus on emotional and interactive elements in message construction. It also calls for further research into the effectiveness of these strategies across different digital platforms and cultural contexts.

Abstract

Impoliteness is a social phenomenon practically used to threaten someone’s face and an act of raising a conflict in the interaction. However, impoliteness is unable to reveal under politeness theory since it focuses on the constraint of verbal interaction used to save someone’s face (Mohammed & Abbas, 2015, 2016). Therefore, Culpeper (2016) suggests an impoliteness strategy to emphasize some communicative strategies used to damage the hearer’s face. One of the controversial events occurred in a presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016. This study explored the impoliteness strategy used by the candidates in quantitative and qualitative. This study highlighted the use of positive impoliteness as a defensive communicative strategy and negative impoliteness as an attacking communicative strategy that occurred U.S. Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of gamification-based applications in improving students' English language skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The Cake application, used for speaking and listening skills, and the Wordwall application, used for reading and writing skills, were implemented to enhance student proficiency. Pre-test and post-test analyses revealed significant improvements across all skills. The average speaking skill score increased by 15.5 points, indicating a notable enhancement in students' confidence and fluency. In listening skill, students' post-test score averaged 85.75, a significant increase from 61.5 in the pre-test, showing that gamification effectively boosts listening comprehension. For reading skill, the Wordwall app led to an average post-test score of 85.8, up from 61.1, demonstrating gamification’s role in increasing student motivation and reading comprehension. Similarly, in writing skill, students showed an average post-test score of 86.4, a substantial rise from 60.3 in the pre-test, highlighting the positive impact of interactive writing tasks. The findings support the research of Cheng et al. (2025), Rodríguez et al. (2023), Matyakhan et al. (2024), and Ibrahim et al. (2024), confirming that gamification enhances student engagement, motivation, and academic performance. This study provides strong evidence that gamification-based learning is highly effective in improving English language skills at the vocational level, suggesting that its implementation in higher education can significantly support students' language development and prepare them for professional careers.

Abstract

Learners’ ability in carrying out communicative activities is highly demanded in the spoken English classroom. This paper discusses some aspects that should be taken into account when conducting a spoken English class in relation to raising pragmatic awareness through the inclusion of pragmatic instruction in the classroom. Some theoretical reviews for the inclusion of pragmatic instruction are also discussed. Through the inclusion of instruction in pragmatics in the spoken English classroom, learners are expected to develop their pragmatic competence and, therefore, are able to communicate naturally despite the fact that the full range of interactions with native speakers is limited.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) that was integrated with video conferencing platforms such as OmeTV to assess its impact on willingness to communicate (WTC) in English. Fifty students from vocational college were selected as an experimental group who received PBL approach, and another fifty students participated as a control group, who only attended video conferencing session. The study employed mixed methods, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data, to investigate students’ improvement on WTC before and after the implementation of PBL activities.  A questionnaire was developed by adopting WTC model from McIntyre (1998) to assess the effectiveness of PBL on the students’ WTC; meanwhile, in-depth interviews took place to explore the experiences and perspectives of how a supportive English environment can influence their WTC, challenge them to use English more actively and interactively, and overcome the difficulty of misunderstanding across cultures. The findings revealed a significant improvement in WTC for the experimental group, indicated by a t-value of 16.780 (p 0.001) and an R² increase from 45.3% to 85.4%. Conversely, the control group showed moderate improvement (t-value of 12.333, p 0.001) and an R² increase from 12.8% to 76%. This implied that video conferencing alone had a positive effect on the students’ WTC, but it was less impactful compared to the experimental groups who received PBL approach. Meanwhile, the interview results highlighted three key themes, namely, 1) feeling motivated to continue communicating in English and building confidence as an indicator of improved WTC, 2) challenges with foreigners helped them identify and overcome their language barrier and fear of making mistakes, and 3) usefulness of video conferencing session that provided authentic communication. Video conferencing platforms, such as OmeTV, enhance students' communication skills and build their confidence. Overall, the study contributes to the development of pedagogical approaches, as PBL offered student-centered learning to enhance their English language proficiency and communicative competence in the context of vocational students.
