Abstract

Phonological modification of teacher talk is one of crucial things in teaching English as a foreign language for secondary school students. It aims at providing a comprehensible input and language model for students within the efforts of creating effective and meaningful teaching and learning activities designed. Therefore, this study is to explore the ways of employing English phonological modification and the reasons for using it for teaching secondary school students. To gain the data needed, the researcher applied descriptive qualitative research to explore the phenomenon in EFL classroom interaction involving three English teachers who perform their teaching at two different secondary schools in South Sulawesi, Indonesia; SMA Negeri 1 dan 2 Parepare. A direct classroom observation entailing audio recording and interview were utilized to gain the data and analyzed based on the conversational analysis framework. The data analysis reveals that EFL teachers regularly modify their English phonology by using four distinctive features, namely it is more extended pauses, slow rate of speech, exaggerate articulation, and clear articulation. Moreover, these modifications occurred in three numbers of reasons for emphasizing the presented materials, providing understandable and comprehensible input, and modeling the students to the target language.

Abstract

Project-based learning is a student-centered method of organizing learning in projects in which the students drive their learning and the teacher plays as facilitator in a project designed. This research aimed to explore the implementation steps of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach employed by a teacher in an EFL classroom. It used a descriptive qualitative method. For the description of PjBL steps, the researchers administered classroom observation and in-depth interviews taking an English teacher as the informant at Al Ihsan Islamic boarding School, Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi. The findings revealed that the teacher implemented three major steps of PjBL in English language teaching, that is (1) planning and preparation, (2) the project work, and (3) report and presentation. Planning and preparation steps showed the best sample of previous project work referring to a real-life example of language usage and building the project activities’ framework; the project work step guided the project’s implementation and monitored the progress of the students’ project; and report and presentation step bridged the discussion and encouraged peer assessment among the students’ work. Based on these three steps, it is concluded that the implementation of PjBL had a positive impact not only on English language learning as a whole but also on other areas of learning, that is critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills of the students as well.

Abstract

This study is to describe two main points, namely (1) the development of English vocabulary mastery of 7th-grade students of SMPIT Ibnu Sina, Makassar using word card games, and (2) the aspects of vocabulary that hinder their English vocabulary development. Pre-experimental research method with pre and post-test design was used to quantitatively describe the impact of the treatment given through the use of word card games in developing students' vocabulary mastery comprising three aspects, namely (1)vocabulary forms in spelling and pronunciation, (2) denotative meaning of vocabulary, and (3) vocabulary usage focusing on the use of Present and Past Tense sentence patterns both in oral and written forms and the hindering aspects of their vocabulary mastery development which are then described qualitatively. The grade 7 students of SMPIT Ibnu Sina, Makassar totalling 28 students were the population of this study using the census sampling technique. To collect data, a vocabulary test was administered in three forms of questions, namely (1) spelling and pronunciation, (2) matching for vocabulary meaning, and (3) multiple choice and making simple sentences. The results showed that (1) the word cards could develop the English vocabulary mastery of students in terms of vocabulary form, vocabulary meaning, and vocabulary use empirically indicated by the mean score of pre-tests as 58.13 taken into an average category and post-tests is 79.72 classified into a good category and (2) the aspect that hinders students' vocabulary mastery is pronunciation and sentence construction. These findings are simply considered that word card games can be implemented to bridge the development of students’ vocabulary mastery coming along with teaching English structures.

Abstract

This research examines the degree of intensity in the delivery of corrective feedback (CF) by EFL lecturers within online English language instruction, with particular attention to synchronous and asynchronous communication modes. Adopting a descriptive qualitative framework, the study gathered data through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with eight lecturers teaching various English courses at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The analysis centered on three principal dimensions of feedback intensity: attention, duration, and frequency. The results indicated that CF provided via synchronous platforms—such as video conferencing or real-time chat—was generally more immediate, intensive, and frequent. This mode enabled lecturers to address student errors dynamically and offer direct feedback that fostered metacognitive engagement and timely revisions. Conversely, CF delivered asynchronously through tools such as email, discussion forums, and learning management systems was found to be less intensive, broader in scope, and delayed, often influenced by limited student engagement and the self-directed nature of asynchronous interaction. Despite these differences, asynchronous feedback facilitated more deliberate and structured responses. The study underscores that CF intensity is influenced by technological capabilities, the nature of the course content, and the frequency of lecturer-student interaction. It concludes that a strategic integration of both synchronous and asynchronous feedback modalities can significantly improve the effectiveness of online English language instruction.

Abstract

Post-stroke aphasia is a complex language disorder resulting from damage to brain regions responsible for linguistic function. This study aims to identify patterns of language impairment and potential recovery in aphasic patients using a neurolinguistic approach based on Bahasa Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from ten outpatient aphasia patients at RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo, Makassar, through structured linguistic interviews, adapted language assessment tools (BNT-Ina and MoCA-Ina), and transcription of spontaneous speech. The findings reveal varied disruptions across five linguistic components—phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics—depending on the type of aphasia. Broca’s aphasia is characterized by agrammatism and articulatory deficits with preserved comprehension; Wernicke’s aphasia features fluent but semantically incoherent speech and poor understanding; while Global aphasia involves extensive impairment across all language domains. The analysis demonstrates how the agglutinative morphology and flexible syntax of Bahasa Indonesia influence the manifestation of aphasia and the design of rehabilitation strategies. Language recovery is interpreted through the lens of neuroplasticity, showing compensatory activation in non-dominant brain areas and improved outcomes through culturally contextual, mother-tongue-based therapy. This study contributes to the development of linguistically informed, localized aphasia interventions and underscores the importance of integrating neurolinguistic and sociocultural factors in language rehabilitation.
