Abstract

This study aims to identify the personality types of students in the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo and to explore their pedagogical implications for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, involving 118 undergraduate students from three academic cohorts (2021–2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024). Data were collected through an adapted version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) developed by Eysenck and Eysenck (1975) and validated for Indonesian learners by Wulandari (2017). The instrument used a five-point Likert scale to measure extroversion and introversion tendencies. Descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage, were computed using Microsoft Excel to determine personality distribution. The results revealed that most students (61.86%) were ambiverts, followed by extroverts (27.12%) and introverts (11.02%). These findings suggest that ELESP students tend to balance social engagement and reflective learning, offering advantages in diverse EFL classroom contexts. The study highlights the need for personality-responsive pedagogy that accommodates varied learner characteristics to promote more effective and inclusive language learning.

Abstract

This study investigates social conflicts associated with teen language use on social media and messaging applications such as WhatsApp, TikTok, and Instagram, as well as within the communication focus of schools and learning surroundings. The main research issue revolves around the tensions caused by the use of informal youth language, including slang, abbreviations, emojis, code switching, and the tensions from adults expecting a more formal communicative structure. This research employs an ethnographic approach, specifically the youth language analysis via metadata and corpus-based techniques. This study incorporated observations as well as focused and conflict-centered, specifically student-teacher, deep interviews. The principal findings state that the use of informal language and the clash of its use within the expectations of the school and learning habitat is a major source of conflict, thus contributing to the overall "understanding" of the intergenerational language clash. This along with the rapid dissemination of digital trends has contributed to social conflict. This research aims to bridge the gaps in literature by identifying the socio-communicative functions of youth language and by demonstrating the need to revise the intercooled framework of interaction to enhance effective school and digital communication

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of English teachers’ emotional intelligence (EI) on students’ English learning at MAN 1 Kota Gorontalo. Emotional intelligence, including the indicators such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, plays a crucial role in shaping classroom dynamics and fostering students’ motivation. The research aims to explore how English teachers’ EI influences students’ confidence, engagement, and enthusiasm in learning English. This research employed a qualitative case study design. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving two English teachers and ten students from grades 10 and 11 during the 2024/2025 academic year. Thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns emerging from participants’ experiences. Findings revealed that emotionally intelligent teachers significantly enhance students’ learning experiences through five major impacts: (1) enhancing self-confidence by appreciating efforts and normalizing mistakes; (2) creating supportive and enjoyable learning environments; (3) fostering intrinsic motivation through meaningful and engaging activities; (4) encouraging future aspirations such as studying abroad; and (5) providing emotional support and promoting peer collaboration. These practices contribute to a positive classroom climate where students feel valued, motivated, and resilient. The study concludes that teachers’ emotional intelligence is not only a personal quality but also a pedagogical competence essential for sustaining students’ motivation and well-being. It recommends integrating EI development into teacher training and professional programs to enhance both instructional effectiveness and emotional support in language education.

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role in digital communication, and platforms like Instagram serve as key spaces for self-expression. This study investigates graphological deviations in Instagram captions, focusing on typography, spelling and grammar, and punctuation to understand their impact on written communication in social media. This research adopted a qualitative descriptive approach, analyzing captions from English Language Education Department students' Instagram accounts to identify and categorize graphological deviations. Data collection involved selecting captions with deviations in spelling, punctuation, and typography, followed by analysis using theories from Verdonk (2002) and Simpson (2004). The findings reveal that graphological deviations are intentionally employed to enhance aesthetics, convey emotions, and establish a relaxed, informal tone. Three main categories emerged: (1) Spelling and Grammar, which featured informal abbreviations and creative word formations and accounted for 10 instances; (2) Punctuation, where unconventional uses of quotation marks, ellipses, and dashes added emphasis and emotional depth, with 7 instances identified and (3) Typography, where unique fonts, emojis, and text layouts enhanced visual appeal, with 4 instances recorded. While such deviations may reduce clarity and professionalism, they significantly shape message reception in social media contexts. The study concludes that graphological deviations are a stylistic choice prioritizing aesthetics and emotional engagement over linguistic norms. Future research can explore their visual and emotional impact, typographic effectiveness, and multilingual adaptations in digital media.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of English speaking learning in online and offline classes, focusing on the Intensive Course class at Gorontalo State University. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires and documentation of students’ GPA in speaking-related courses. The participants were students from the 2021 cohort (online learning) and 2022 cohort (offline learning). The study examined seven key components of speaking skills: fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, confidence, and engagement. The results indicate that students who experienced offline learning reported more positive perceptions across almost all components, attributing their improvement to real-time interaction, direct feedback, and active class participation. Meanwhile, students in online learning perceived improvement particularly in pronunciation and fluency, supported by independent practice and flexible access to digital resources, yet faced challenges in engagement and interaction. Despite these perception differences, the average GPA between the two groups was relatively similar. The findings, interpreted through Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, highlight the importance of social interaction and scaffolding in speaking skill development. Overall, offline learning was perceived as more effective in fostering speaking competence.
