Abstract

This research was a sociolinguistic study focusing on bilingualism and language choice involving students from the English Education Study Program (EESP) as participants who were presumably members of a bilingual speech community. The objective of the research was to describe the profile of the bilingual community members with their sociolinguistic background, to analyze the patterns of language choice that occurred, and how they represent the speakers’ sociolinguistic competence in social interaction, and to interpret how the language patterns imply the role of the English in the community. A small-scale survey was conducted with non-participant observation using questionnaires and documentary sources as the tools for data collection. The research concluded that students of EESP were firmly verified as bilingual speech community members. They not only shared common stuff dealing with their academic right and duties, but also common languages as their repertoires with the same knowledge of appropriateness for the language choice practice. The choice considered the social contexts in addition to the intelligibility of the language to the participants. The co-occurrence of the choice showed that the rules of alternation existed, but were bendable. It did not represent any situation of diglossia. The occurrence of the patterns represented how the speakers’ sociolinguistic competence controlled the practice of the language choice. As an implication, English played additional roles for them to not only show their social status identity, but also as the language of education, as well as a language to build their global social networking.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is essential in English language learning because it supports students’ ability to understand and express ideas effectively. However, students often experience difficulties in mastering past-tense verbs due to the continued use of conventional teaching methods that emphasize memorization. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of digital storytelling in teaching past-tense verbs to tenth-grade students at SMAN 3 Bengkayang. Using a quasi-experimental design, the participants consisted of two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 24 students. The data were collected through parallel 30-item cloze tests administered before and after the treatment and were analyzed using a t-test. The results showed that the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery, while the control group showed no significant increase. It can be concluded that digital storytelling is an effective instructional medium for improving students’ mastery of past-tense verbs in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) strategy on eighth-grade students' reading comprehension of recount text. Despite the importance of reading comprehension in English language learning, many junior high school students still struggle with understanding recount texts, particularly in identifying main ideas, detail information, and vocabulary. This study employed a pre-experimental design with one-group pretest-posttest involving 26 students of class VIII-A at SMP St. Fransiskus Asisi Pontianak. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test using 20 multiple-choice questions targeting three aspects of reading comprehension: main idea, detail information, and vocabulary. Statistical analysis using paired t-test revealed a significant increase in students' reading comprehension scores (t = 8.40, df = 25, p < 0.05). The mean score increased from 56.53 (pre-test) to 70.57 (post-test), with an improvement of 14.04 points. Furthermore, the effect size calculation yielded ES = 1.42, indicating a strong effect. These findings demonstrate that the LRD strategy significantly enhances students' reading comprehension of recount text through its sequential phases of listening, reading, and discussing, which build prior knowledge and promote collaborative learning.
