Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study English learning using nature-based learning methods to increase students' motivation in learning. In the minds of some students there is still a paradigm that assumes that success in learning English is due to talent. This assumption encourages students to be lazy to learn English. They tend to be more desperate and give up when they encounter difficulties in learning. However, learning English can be done anywhere and anytime using any method. The goal is that students can be motivated to develop learning that is more interesting and has a positive impact. The learning environment makes students broader in thinking and expression. The benefits of environment-based media allow students to better understand natural phenomena that occur in everyday life. Utilization of the environment makes the learning process more meaningful with the outdoor model. Students can explore the natural environment and learn practical skills to understand and appreciate aspects of environmental life. Learning activities will be more interesting for students. In addition, the use of the environment encourages an increase in student learning activities using nature-based learning methods

Abstract

This study investigates prohibitive speech acts and politeness strategies in Indonesian–English bilingual signage used in the LRT Jabodebek system from a pragmatic perspective. Prohibition signs in public transportation function not only as informational messages but also as regulatory tools that shape passenger behavior in order to maintain safety, order, and comfort. Adopting a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the data consist of written prohibition signs collected from stations, train carriages, and supporting facilities through documentation techniques. The analysis is based on Speech Act Theory (Austin, 1962; Searle, 1975), the concepts of directness and indirectness (Blum-Kulka, House, & Kasper, 1989), and Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. The findings show that prohibitive speech acts are realized through various linguistic forms, ranging from highly direct imperatives to more impersonal declarative constructions. Safety-related prohibitions tend to employ stronger illocutionary force, whereas comfort-related prohibitions incorporate politeness strategies as a form of mitigation. The use of bilingual signage also enhances clarity and accessibility for diverse passengers, supporting more effective public communication in multilingual transportation settings.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of learning to speak English through TikTok, focusing on its advantages, disadvantages, and challenges as a digital learning medium. The research was conducted at State Senior High School 14 Depok, where 90% of students actively use TikTok for social interaction, study, and other purposes. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from 50 10th- and 11th-grade students through questionnaires, documentation, and observation. Data were analyzed systematically through stages of collection, reduction, presentation, verification, interpretation, and conclusion to identify themes, patterns, and relationships. Findings indicate that TikTok offers notable benefits for speaking practice, such as accessibility, creativity, and engagement, but also presents limitations, including distractions, superficial content, and uneven quality of language input. Despite these challenges, TikTok retains strong potential as a supplementary tool in English language teaching. The study underscores the importance of enhancing teacher competencies to integrate digital platforms effectively and adapting to technological trends in education. It also suggests extending future research to other English skills, involving a broader range of schools, including vocational institutions, to account for different student profiles.
