Abstract

This article aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between self-esteem and students’ speaking ability at SMAN 4 Takalar. The study employed a correlational research design. The subjects were 28 twelfth-grade students from class XII MIA 6 at SMAN 4 Takalar during the 2024/2025 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling to collect the necessary data. The data were gathered using a questionnaire and a speaking test. Based on the results of the self-esteem questionnaire, 23 students (82.14%) demonstrated a high level of self-esteem, while 5 students (17.86%) showed a low level. The speaking test results indicated that 12 students (42.86%) performed poorly, and 16 students (57.14%) performed very poorly. The correlation coefficient between students’ self-esteem and their speaking ability was found to be 0.515, which falls within the moderate category. Since the rxy value (0.515) exceeded the rtable value (0.373), the alternative hypothesis was accepted. In conclusion, students’ self-esteem significantly influences their speaking ability at SMAN 4 Takalar. These findings suggest a meaningful correlation between self-esteem and speaking performance. To effectively boost students’ confidence, teachers are encouraged to create a supportive classroom atmosphere, utilize consistent positive reinforcement, and offer frequent speaking opportunities in a nonjudgmental environment with engaging activities.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to obtain data regarding students' perceptions of the intensity of corrective feedback (CF) provided by lecturers and its influence on their self-confidence and self-expression abilities. To achieve the above objectives, a qualitative approach was used thru in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with students from the English Language Education Study Program, Faculty of Languages and Literature, Makassar State University, who were taking English courses thru synchronous and asynchronous media. To analyze the data obtained, this study uses thematic analysis, which includes the stages of transcription, data reduction, coding, categorization, and the extraction of thematic meaning. The results of the research data analysis show that (1) students positively perceive the intensity of corrective feedback, which includes attention, duration, and frequency, differing between one lecturer and another because synchronous CF provides space for direct interaction and quick clarification, while asynchronous CF gives students the opportunity to reflect and correct errors independently; and (2) the intensity of CF has a positive impact on increasing students' self-confidence and self-expression in English, both orally and in writing, although feedback that is too frequent and delivered inappropriately can reduce motivation and cause anxiety. The results of this study conclude that a balance of intensity and approach in providing corrective feedback has a positive impact on the optimal linguistic and psychological development of students.

Abstract

Data pendidikan nasional dari Kemendikbudristek (2024) dan OECD (2023) menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari 68% guru di Indonesia masih menerapkan pembelajaran berbasis hafalan dan berorientasi ujian, yang berdampak pada rendahnya keterlibatan siswa dan lemahnya kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini dirancang untuk menjawab kesenjangan pedagogis tersebut melalui penerapan kerangka Deep Learning yang menekankan Mindful, Meaningful, dan Joyful Learning kepada guru-guru Bahasa Inggris SMA di Kota Makassar, sejalan dengan implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka. Kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui lokakarya partisipatif dan berbasis pengalaman yang melibatkan 42 guru dalam sesi refleksi, diskusi kolaboratif, serta perancangan Modul Ajar berbasis Deep Learning. Dengan mengacu pada siklus pembelajaran pengalaman Kolb (1984), guru diajak untuk mengalami, merefleksikan, mengkonseptualisasikan, dan menerapkan strategi pembelajaran mendalam ke dalam modul ajar mereka. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan 78% dalam kemampuan guru merancang modul ajar berpusat pada siswa yang memadukan kesadaran diri, relevansi kontekstual, dan suasana belajar yang menyenangkan, serta tingkat kepuasan 91% terhadap kebermanfaatan pelatihan. Lebih jauh lagi, program ini melahirkan komunitas belajar profesional bernama Makassar EFL Deep Learning Educators Circle (MEDLEC), yaitu jejaring guru reflektif yang berkomitmen menumbuhkan inovasi pembelajaran bermakna dan berkelanjutan. Program ini berhasil memperkuat otonomi pedagogis, kolaborasi guru, dan keselarasan praktik mengajar dengan filosofi Kurikulum Merdeka yang menekankan kemandirian, relevansi, dan kebahagiaan dalam belajar

Abstract

Keterampilan menulis dalam Bahasa Inggris merupakan salah satu kompetensi esensial abad ke-21, namun keterampilan ini seringkali menjadi tantangan terbesar dalam pembelajaran. Guru-guru di Kecamatan Wonomulyo, Polewali Mandar, teridentifikasi masih cenderung menggunakan metode konvensional yang berpusat pada guru dan berpusat pada produk, sehingga mengakibatkan rendahnya motivasi siswa. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan dan mempraktikkan dua model pembelajaran inovatif, yaitu Project-Based Learning (PBL) dan Heutagogi (pembelajaran mandiri), untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik guru dalam mengajarkan keterampilan menulis. Metode kegiatan yang digunakan adalah pelatihan partisipatif, lokakarya, dan simulasi (micro-teaching). PBL menyediakan kerangka kerja untuk tugas menulis yang autentik dan bermakna, sementara Heutagogi mendorong otonomi dan kemandirian siswa dalam proses pembelajaran. Peserta kegiatan adalah 25 guru Bahasa Inggris yang tergabung dalam MGMP. Hasil dievaluasi menggunakan pre-test dan post-test (pengetahuan) serta penilaian produk RPP (keterampilan). Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan guru yang signifikan, dengan rata-rata skor pasca-tes mencapai 81 (kategori Baik) dari skor pra-tes 38 (Sangat Buruk). Lebih lanjut, 100% peserta berhasil menyusun rencana pembelajaran yang mengintegrasikan PBL dan Heutagogi dalam konteks lokal. Pelatihan ini berhasil memberikan solusi pedagogis alternatif yang selaras dengan tuntutan Kurikulum Mandiri.

Abstract

Addressing refers to the words or phrases used by speakers to address interlocutors during a conversation. It plays a significant role in communication, reflecting various social factors such as hierarchy, familiarity, and politeness. This study examines the types of addressing used by Najwa Shihab in the Mata Najwa Show, focusing on how different address terms are employed in formal settings. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, analyzing data from three episodes of the show, sourced from Najwa Shihab’s YouTube video titled “Ironi Korupsi Kala Pandemi.” The findings revealed four types of addressing: first names, kinship terms, titles, and special nicknames. Among these, kinship terms were most frequently used. The study also identifies that the choice of addressing terms was influenced by factors such as social status, age, politeness, and the degree of closeness between the speaker and the interlocutor. The results suggest that addressing practices in formal settings are complex and context dependent. Future research could explore how cultural contexts and power dynamics influence addressing practices in media discourse.

Abstract

Language not only reflects but also shapes societal roles, and in Little Women, the way women express themselves through language offers a powerful lens into their social realities. This study examines the linguistic representation of women using eight varieties of women’s language in the Little Women movie. The central problem of this research is to identify which features of women’s language are employed by the main female characters based on their social context. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, analysing data from the movie’s dialogues and its script. The analysis was grounded in Lakoff’s (1975) theory of women’s language features. The findings show that not all varieties of women’s language are employed by the main characters. Jo, the central character, utilized eight features, including lexical hedges (48.6%), empty adjectives (1.3%), intensifiers (8.5%), hypercorrect grammar (1%), rising intonation on declaratives (18.4%), and super polite forms (10.9%). Tag questions and precise color terms were not used. Furthermore, the use of these linguistic features is closely connected to the social conditions and gender roles in their society.

Abstract

Women differ in the linguistic features they use, and Lakoff’s theory has served as a foundation for subsequent researchers to distinguish between women’s and men’s language. This study explores the use of fillers and hedges in the speeches of Mrs. Tri Risma Maharini, drawing on Lakoff’s foundational theory to examine gendered language differences. The primary objective is to identify the types and functions of fillers and hedges employed in her speeches. To analyze fillers, Rose’s (1998) typology is combined with insights from Stenström (1994) and Baalen (2001), while the classification of hedges and their functions is based on Salager-Mayer’s (1995) framework. A descriptive qualitative approach, using discourse analysis, was employed to investigate the data. The findings aim to highlight the types and functions of fillers and raise awareness among learners about their use during moments of hesitation in foreign language communication—an inherent aspect of spoken language. Additionally, the study underscores the role of hedges in signaling sensitivity to others’ feelings, suggesting that hedging expressions contribute to a more empathetic and contextually aware exchange.
