Abstract

This pre-experimental study evaluated (1) the impact of ClassPoint, an interactive learning media on students' English learning motivation and (2) found the main components of motivation that were significantly affected by the use of ClassPoint. A scaled test conducted with a questionnaire was used to collect data. Questionnaires were distributed to students of class VIII.A UPT SPF SMPN 40 Makassar to find out students' English learning motivation before and after treatment.  Total of 34 students of class VIII.A were sampled in this study. The results of descriptive statistics showed that the average score of students' motivations increased significantly from 31.41 in the pre-test to 54.94 in the post-test. The t-test results showed (1) a significant difference in student motivation (Y) before and after using ClassPoint (X), with a significance value of 0.000. In addition, the N-Gain value of 1.51 indicates a substantial increase in student motivation, which places it in the high classification category. (2) learning goals were the most influential indicator, with an increase of 99%. This finding showed that ClassPoint is highly effective in increasing student motivation, especially in terms of learning goals. These results reinforce the theoretical support for the constructivist learning theory, showing that interactive media like ClassPoint significantly enhance student motivation, while also offering practical implications for educators to adopt this technology to achieve more effective learning outcomes.

Abstract

Lecturers’ facial expressions are a primary non-verbal cue, often conveying encouragement, approval, or even subtle disapproval, which can significantly affect learners’ comfort, confidence, and willingness to participate in the classroom interaction. This study investigated the role of lecturers’ facial expression in emotional interactions with EFL learners. The researcher focused on investigating the influence of lecturers’ on EFL learners’ emotional response as well as learners’ motivation and engagement, and learners’ interpretation and response to the lecturers’ facial expression. The data collected through questionnaire, interview, and observation. The researcher then analyzed the data qualitatively. The findings from this research support the notion that lecturers' facial expressions significantly influence learners’ emotional responses, motivation, engagement, and confidence in the classroom. Positive facial expressions, such as smiles and enthusiastic expressions, can create a supportive and comfortable learning environment, motivating learners to participate actively and enhancing their overall learning experience. Furthermore, cultural differences must be considered, as learners may interpret facial expressions in diverse ways, highlighting the need for lecturers to be mindful of their non-verbal cues.

Abstract

The impact of an individual's native language on the pronunciation of long and short vowels in English is a common phenomenon, particularly among learners whose first language employs a distinct vowel system. The objective of this study is to gain insight into the manner in which a student's first language affects the pronunciation of long and short English vowels and to identify effective learning strategies employed to overcome the difficulties encountered. This study employed a case study in qualitative method taking eight English Language Education students in 2022/2023 academic year, Universitas Negeri Makassar. To collect the data, semi-structured interview was utilized and analyzed using the framework of qualitative analysis developed by Miles and Huberman Saldana's (2014) theory, which includes data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings revealed that the lack of differentiation between English long and short vowels in the native language, coupled with difficulties in identifying and articulating vowels, constituted the primary challenges encountered by the students. Nevertheless, several learning strategies were identified to assist in overcoming the difficulties, namely learning from native speakers through online resources, the "listen and repeat" method and utilizing a supportive learning environment. These findings underscore the significance of recognizing the impact of a first language and implementing suitable learning strategies to channel the accuracy of students' pronunciation of both long and short vowels in English.

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.
