Abstract

This study investigates the use of nonverbal communication (NVC), namely gestures, in the narrative exercises of students at SMAN 1 Semaka. The objective is to determine and classify the precise types and frequencies of gestures used. The use of ELAN software allows for a thorough study, which shows that specific gestures, such as Open Hands (OP) and Head Tilting (HT), are commonly employed and have a substantial impact on improving the delivery of a narrative. On the other hand, gestures such as Hands on Hips (HH) and Hand on Cheek (HCH) were not frequently seen, indicating that their significance may vary depending on the situation and the individual's way of expressing a tale. This study highlights the significance of incorporating Nonviolent Communication (NVC) into educational methods in order to enhance students' proficiency in communication and storytelling. This study enhances our overall comprehension of nonverbal communication in educational environments and emphasises the usefulness of technological tools such as ELAN in furthering educational research.

Abstract

Translanguaging has emerged as a powerful pedagogical approach in multilingual EFL classrooms, especially in culturally and linguistically diverse contexts. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of tenth-grade students at SMA Gajah Mada Bandar Lampung towards the use of translanguaging strategies in their English classes. The research employed a qualitative case study design, involving 30 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and a structured questionnaire. The analysis revealed that students frequently resorted to their first language (L1) to alleviate anxiety and enhance comprehension, especially when encountering difficulties with English (L2). The majority expressed positive attitudes towards translanguaging, believing that the integration of L1 alongside L2 helped them engage more actively, understand instructions better, and participate with greater confidence. However, a small number of students were hesitant, citing concerns over overdependence on L1. Teachers’ reactions also played a significant role in shaping students’ comfort, as those who positively acknowledged L1 use were more likely to foster inclusive participation. The findings suggest that translanguaging supports learners’ emotional, cognitive, and linguistic development when strategically integrated by teachers. This study offers new insight into how translanguaging not only aids language acquisition but also reduces classroom anxiety. It contributes to the growing body of research advocating for flexible language practices in EFL settings. The results are significant for EFL educators, curriculum developers, and policy-makers seeking to create inclusive and supportive language learning environments in multilingual classrooms.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of reading motivation, dictation, vocabulary, and socioeconomic status on students’ reading comprehension. A quantitative research methodology was employed, with data collected over four sessions involving tenth-grade students from SMA Yadika Bandar Lampung. The data were gathered through multiple - choice tests, questionnaires, and dictation assessments. The results demonstrated a strong positive correlation between decoding skills and vocabulary in relation to reading comprehension. Statistically significant p-values of 0.000 were found for the relationships between decoding and English reading comprehension (DEC->ERC), decoding and vocabulary (DEC-> VOC), vocabulary and reading comprehension (VOC - >ERC), as well as the combined effects of dictation and vocabulary on English reading comprehension (DEC - >VOC - >ERC). The findings highlight that both dictation skills and vocabulary development play a crucial role in enhancing reading comprehension. In contrast, the study found no significant relationship reading motivation or socioeconomic status and reading comprehension. The correlations betw een extrinsic motivation and English reading comprehension (EM->ERC), intrinsic motivation and English reading comprehension (IM->ERC), and family income and English reading comprehension (INC->ERC) were not statistically significant. These results suggest that while dictation and vocabulary skills are essential for reading comprehension, factors such as reading motivation and socioeconomic status did not exert a significant influence in the study. The findings underscore the importance of focusing on vocabulary and dictation skills to improve students’ reading comprehension, suggesting that targeted educational interventions in these areas could lead to enhanced academic performance for all students. HIGHLIGHTS: Impact of Decoding Skills and Vocabulary on Reading Comprehension: The study shows a strong link between students' decoding skills and vocabulary knowledge, which both greatly improve reading comprehension. Decoding directly helps build vocabulary, which then supports reading comprehension. Vocabulary alone accounts for 75.2% of the differences in reading comprehension, emphasizing its key role. Limited Influence of Socioeconomic and Motivational Factors: Unlike some past studies, this research found that socioeconomic status, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation have little to no impact on reading comprehension. This suggests that cognitive skills, like decoding and vocabulary, are more important for students' reading abilities than socioeconomic or motivational factors. Educational Implications for Curriculum Development: The findings highlight the need to focus on cognitive skills, especially vocabulary and decoding, in reading instruction. Prioritizing these core skills can help educational programs improve students' reading comprehension and close literacy gaps across diverse groups.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to find out reasons behind common misinterpretation of textual entailment among students in educational settings, focusing particularly on how basic textual concepts impact students' ability to comprehend and analyze texts accurately. The study was carried out at SMA Alam Lampung using twelfth-grade students as participants. It used a qualitative research design and employed saturation sampling procedures to choose its sample. This study aims to explore students' understanding and interpretation skills regarding textual entailment by using questionnaires and interviews as the main data gathering techniques. The results show a significant difference in students' ability to correctly grasp texts and hypotheses, indicating a common misinterpretation of textual entailment principles. Out of 60 replies gathered from 10 questions answered by 6 students each, only 4 solutions adhered to the rules of textual entailment. The other 56 responses showed a misunderstanding of the connection between Text and Hypotheses. The research explores the psycholinguistic and cognitive processes that lead to misconceptions, highlighting the importance of lexical access and comprehending complicated sentence patterns in making valid inferences from texts. It also recognizes the significance of prior knowledge in aiding text understanding and analysis. These results imply that successful educational approaches should go beyond just improving linguistic abilities. They should use tactics designed to help pupils overcome psycholinguistic and cognitive obstacles, so improving their interpretive skills. This study suggests a thorough educational method that combines language skills enhancement with specific tactics to address the psycholinguistic and cognitive barriers affecting students' understanding and interpretation of texts.

Abstract

This study delves into the pivotal role of feedback in English writing instruction, a crucial element for enhancing language proficiency and writing skills among English language learners. The primary aim of the research is to examine students' perceptions of teacher feedback and to identify the types of feedback they receive, which are essential for improving teaching strategies and student outcomes. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, the research analyzed responses from 22 students, collected through a questionnaire adapted from the frameworks of Lee (2011) and Ellis & Sheen (2011) to reflect the local educational setting. The results reveal a mixed reception to teacher feedback: while it is valued for improving writing skills, it also sometimes causes confusion and anxiety due to unclear instructions or the use of complex metalinguistic symbols. The types of feedback reported include direct, indirect, and metalinguistic feedback. Direct feedback proved effective in enhancing clarity and understanding, whereas indirect and metalinguistic feedback was occasionally linked to negative emotions such as anxiety and embarrassment. Despite these challenges, the study concludes that properly structured feedback can significantly foster cognitive development, prompting students to refine their thought processes, explore ideas independently, and become adept at self-correction. This underscores the need for educators to consider both the content and delivery of feedback to maximize its effectiveness and minimize potential stressors for learners.
