Abstract

This study discusses how social media helps students learn English at a Madrasah Aliyah in Papua, Eastern Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to find out what social media are used by students and how they use them to learn. This study used a qualitative method with observation, interviews, and documentation. There were five students and one English teacher as respondents. The results showed that students often use Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok to learn. Instagram is used to do schoolwork, YouTube is used to learn grammar, while TikTok helps students increase their knowledge and improve their pronunciation. of the three applications, students prefer to use TikTok because they find it easier to understand lessons through interesting and not boring videos, compared to reading long texts or listening to direct explanations. Social media provides freedom in learning, makes students more enthusiastic, and more active in the learning process. Even so, the role of teachers remains very important to guide so that the use of social media continues to support learning goals. These results are in accordance with the theory that states that students will learn better if they feel free and motivated from within themselves. With good guidance, social media can help students improve their English skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Corpus-Based Research (CBR) in English language instruction in Papua, Indonesia. Through interviews with six graduates of an English Education study program who experienced in teaching across primary, secondary, and tertiary education levels in diverse formal and informal settings, the research explores the perceived relevance and importance of CBR. While some participants acknowledged the potential benefits of CBR, others noted limited familiarity and encountered challenges in its integration. However, a subgroup exhibited enthusiasm for CBR, recognizing it as a valuable tool to tailor teaching materials. These findings align with earlier research and highlight the adaptable nature of teachers' attitudes. Additionally, participants emphasized the need for early CBR introduction in teacher training and ongoing professional development. They recommended support systems and access to resources for effective CBR integration. The study informs the development of CBR-integrated courses, addressing Papua's unique educational landscape. It underscores the importance of comprehensive training and support to facilitate CBR incorporation into language teaching

Abstract

Vocabulary appropriateness in EFL textbooks remains underexamined in Southwest Papua, where regional disparities in English exposure and limited supplementary resources create conditions distinct from those commonly discussed in the literature. This study examined teacher and student perspectives on vocabulary in the Grade IX English textbook published by Intan Pariwara (Bahasa Inggris untuk SMP/MTs Kelas 9) at MTs Negeri Kota Sorong, Southwest Papua, a context where English is largely confined to the classroom. Six participants were recruited through purposive sampling: two English teachers and four Grade IX students, whose combination enabled triangulation between instructional context and lived experience. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews conducted in Bahasa Indonesia and translated into English for reporting purposes, then analyzed using the thematic analysis framework of Naeem et al. (2023), with theoretical grounding in Nation (2024), McGrath (2016), and Beck et al. (2013). Four themes emerged: perceived difficulty, vocabulary type, adequacy of support, and learning and teaching strategies. Teachers rated the vocabulary as moderately difficult, while students consistently described it as genuinely difficult, particularly the academic and scientific vocabulary in report texts, which concentrates in Tier 2 and Tier 3 categories. Both groups considered in-text vocabulary support insufficient: glossaries were absent from most units, per-unit word lists were limited, and scaffolding was minimal. Consequently, students relied on tools such as Google Translate and ChatGPT not out of preference but due to limited alternatives, a pattern teachers also acknowledged. Overall, the textbook was considered only partially appropriate, and recommended priority revisions include per-unit vocabulary lists, explicit scaffolding for report text vocabulary, and a comprehensive end-of-book glossary.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Arabic Tajwid Class (ATC) program in improving students' understanding of tajwid and Quranic recitation skills at the Roudlotul Nurul Amin Islamic Boarding School (TPQ) in Majaran Village. Using descriptive qualitative methods through observation, interviews, documentation, and direct researcher involvement, the study found that students initially experienced difficulties in reading the Quran, pronouncing letters, and reading rules of tajwid. ATC was implemented in stages through pronunciation practice, repetition, reading examples, and interaction-based material reinforcement, along with the introduction of simple vocabulary. The results showed that students' ability to apply the rules of tajwid significantly improved, followed by an increased understanding of the rules of tajwid. Supporting factors for the program's success included organized materials, additional study time, and support from teachers. While inhibiting factors included differences in students' basic abilities and limited study time. Overall, ATC proved effective in improving students' understanding of tajwid and the quality of Quranic recitation and was effective as a learning companion program.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the barriers to English learning related to learning efforts, learning attitudes, and artificial intelligence (AI) dependence on students of the English Language Education Study Program at IAIN Sorong. Despite the growing use of digital technology and AI, students still face various obstacles in building consistency and independence in learning English. This study uses a qualitative approach with a structured interview method for students in semesters 1, 3, and 5, as well as one lecturer who serves as the Head of the English Education Study Program. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the forms of obstacles experienced by students in the English language learning process. The results of the study showed that learning barriers varied between semester levels. 1st-semester students face obstacles in the form of low confidence, limited vocabulary, and high reliance on AI. 3rd-semester students experience obstacles in maintaining learning consistency and managing the use of AI effectively. Meanwhile, 5th-semester students face obstacles in the form of academic burden, time constraints, and increased reliance on AI, which has the potential to reduce independent learning efforts. Although students show a relatively positive attitude towards learning English, these various obstacles affect the effectiveness and sustainability of the learning process. These findings show that the use of AI in English learning needs to be managed wisely so as not to strengthen learning barriers but rather to support the development of students' independence and language competence.   Keywords: Learning barriers; AI dependency; English language learning; Learning attitudes; Learning efforts
