Abstract

This article aims to discuss the role of discourse analysis in literary analysis. For this aim, the writers apply Sperber and Wilson's theory of relevance. This theory says that the meaning of utterance might be analyzed in terms of explicature, higher-level explicature, and implicature. The drama analyzed is Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. The writers suggest that discourse analysis can function to analyze the language used in the context of drama and that this analysis should be applied in studying literary works.

Abstract

The study focused on how project-based learning (PBL) is applied as a demonstrative learning method to foster the listening skills of second-year students of the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) in Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG) for a real-world purpose. This qualitative case study explored the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) to develop listening skills among university students, utilizing classroom observations, student interactions, and document analysis for comprehensive insights. Thematic analysis of classroom observations and document analysis unveiled three significant themes: Critical Listening Competence; Active Engagement and Collaboration; Real-Life Context of Listening Skills The results show that students made considerable progress with their listening skills by utilizing real-world projects that emulate authentic communication situations. Collaborative activities provide opportunities for peer engagement and critical thinking, creating a supportive learning environment. The study also emphasizes that educators need to adapt teaching methods, incorporating technology, and provide a variety of listening resources to prepare students for the complexities of professional listening demands. To address these challenges, recommendations for improving the implementation of PBL, including additional educator’s training and the use of effective assessment tools, were made. In conclusion, the research shows how experiential learning can enhance students’ listening skills.

Abstract

Cooperative learning, especially through Jigsaw and STAD methods, is widely employed to enhance student engagement and academic achievement. This research reviews the effectiveness of implementing Jigsaw and STAD cooperative learning in high school English classrooms in Indonesia. The qualitative approach involves library research, analyzing 40 studies spanning 2013 to the present. Findings indicate that both strategies can be applied to all English skills, with STAD more suited for receptive skills and Jigsaw for productive skills. The flexibility of these strategies allows adaptation to diverse student conditions, learning topics, and objectives. Theoretical benefits include insights into implementing these cooperative learning models, aligning with government initiatives like MBKM and the Merdeka curriculum. Practical benefits include guiding educators and researchers in utilizing these strategies effectively. The research underscores the need for proper application and favorable conditions, emphasizing the importance of resources and educator oversight in cooperative learning success.

Abstract

This study explores students’ subjective perspectives on the use of social media platforms (e.g., TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) in developing their 21st-century 4C skills (Critical Thinking, Communication, Creativity, Collaboration) within an English Language Learning (ELL) context. Using descriptive qualitative methods with semi-structured interviews, this study synthesizes wide-ranging perceptions on the use of platforms and how they facilitate students in improving 4C skills in English learning. The results were further analyzed thematically. Key findings indicate that, although students recognized that social media is an accessible and engaging tool for English learning, its use for developing 4C skills is not without significant challenges. Students posited that social media effectively facilitates the practice of communication skills (writing and speaking), stimulates creativity, and supports online collaboration skills. However, they also suggested that the development of critical thinking is hampered by the difficulties in evaluating the credibility of information online. The practical implications of this study highlight the need for lecturers to design structured pedagogical support and for policymakers to integrate digital literacy into the curriculum. Without strategic guidance, the potential of social media to enhance 4C skills is at risk of being underutilized.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ beliefs and strategies in learning English pronunciation. Employing a qualitative approach with narrative inquiry as the research design, this study focuses on understanding learners’ experiences through their personal stories and reflections. The participants were students of the English Language Education Study Programme who had experience in learning English pronunciation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews to capture participants’ beliefs, learning experiences, and strategies related to pronunciation learning. The data were analyzed thematically by identifying recurring patterns and key themes across the narratives. The findings reveal that students hold varied beliefs about English pronunciation learning, particularly regarding the importance of accuracy, exposure, and practice. In addition, students employed diverse strategies such as self-practice, listening to authentic materials, repetition, and seeking feedback to improve their pronunciation skills. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of learners’ perspectives on pronunciation learning and provides practical implications for English pronunciation teaching in higher education contexts.

Abstract

This study investigated the use of poster presentation in health-issue-based speaking instruction and examined its effect on the speaking ability of Public Health students. The study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involving 22 beginner-level Public Health students at Universitas Pancasakti Makassar, Indonesia. The treatment was conducted over eight meetings, with each meeting lasting 2 × 45 minutes, and focused on the topic of healthy and unhealthy food. Students prepared and orally presented posters as part of the instructional activities. Speaking performance was assessed by two raters using an analytic rubric adapted from Brown (2004), covering fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and comprehensibility. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, a paired sample t-test, and Cohen’s d. The findings showed that the students’ mean speaking score increased from 60.83 in the pre-test to 64.06 in the post-test, with a mean difference of 3.23. The paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the two scores (t = 4.163, df = 21, p < .001). The effect size analysis yielded Cohen’s d = 0.89, indicating a relatively strong within-group effect, although the raw-score improvement remained modest. These findings suggest that poster presentation can serve as an effective instructional strategy for improving speaking performance by helping students organize ideas, prepare content, and communicate information more clearly. The study also shows that integrating health-related topics into speaking instruction can make learning more contextual, meaningful, and relevant to Public Health students’ academic and professional needs.
