Abstract

The research investigates the impact of the Suggestopedia method on student motivation in speaking classes. Suggestopedia is an innovative teaching method designed to increase student engagement and motivation in the classroom, particularly in the area of communication skill development.. The method is predicated on the notion that students have untapped resources that can be accessed through suggestive learning strategies. Suggestopedia's goal in speaking classes is to reduce anxiety and increase students' confidence in verbal expression. Learners are encouraged to take risks, make mistakes, and develop their speaking abilities as a result of the method's supportive environment. Positive reinforcement and suggestion play a significant role in Suggestopedia, contributing to the increased motivation and engagement of students. Integrative and instrumental motivations are also investigated in the context of acquiring a foreign language, with an emphasis on the cultural and pragmatic aspects of language acquisition. Ten students from the first semester of the English Department at STAI Hubbulwatahan Duri Riau were interviewed using qualitative methods, such as focus group discussions, to obtain in-depth insights. The findings indicate that participants highly value the motivational aspects of Suggestopedia, such as its impact on interest, social contact, cultural awareness, and speaking skills. While some participants held pessimistic views regarding practical motivations, the majority acknowledged the significance of English proficiency for personal and professional development. Overall, the study indicates that Suggestopedia can motivate in language learning, and that integrating integrative motivation into language teaching strategies, particularly in English-speaking classrooms, can produce positive results.

Abstract

The principal objective of English language instruction in Indonesia is to furnish Indonesian pupils with the ability to communicate effectively in English. The English communicative skills of Indonesian school graduates have been found to be low, which can be attributed to the prevalent use of traditional student-centered approaches that emphasise linguistic structural properties. Additionally, the lack of exposure to and usage of the target language in the classroom further contributes to this issue. A limited number of students possess the ability to effectively convey concepts, perspectives, and emotions utilising English as a means of interaction. The objective of this review article is to advocate for the effectiveness of the task-based language teaching (TBLT) approach in enhancing the communicative abilities of students in Indonesia. This paper utilises various theoretical frameworks and empirical studies to undertake a critical examination of the advantages and drawbacks associated with the implementation of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in Indonesia. The argument posits that Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) facilitates organic learning, engenders inherent motivation among students, and fosters the development of language skills, which may result in an expedited enhancement of communicative proficiency.

Abstract

To create midwifery student professionalism in the topic of learning Midwifery Services, lecturers need a structured learning design. The form of learning in Midwifery services is very suitable using the Experiential learning method. This Experiential learning method has four cycles of phases in shaping the experience of becoming professional in students. The method used in this research is Research and Development. The research subjects were Midwifery students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Sumatera Barat. The research object is a Midwifery Service learning topic with learning materials Offering Services, Giving Direction and Persuade. The results obtained are in the form of a Learning Design which contains the learning flow of Midwifery Services in English in the Experiential Learning model. The circular phases are Active Experimentation (Students carry out oral conversation practice based on the theme of conditions experienced every day and Midwifery Services), Concrete Experience (Students are asked to demonstrate the expressions of offering service, giving direction, and persuading in Indonesian Language. The teacher plays video/audio expressions offering service, giving direction, and persuading), Reflective Observation (Learners compare functions, language structures in the utterances heard and compare with English conversation in Midwifery Services), Abstract Conceptualization (Students arrange and make conversations based on the function and structure of linguistic rules using various expressions. Students are given the opportunity to make conversations based on the theme of the conditions experienced in the practice of midwifery services).

Abstract

Compliment responses play a vital role in academic communication as indicators of pragmatic competence and cultural values. In multilingual contexts such as English and Minangkabau, they further reflect how students negotiate cultural identity through language use. This study examined university students’ compliment responses in English and Minangkabau using Searle’s (1969) speech act theory—focusing on expressive acts—and Chung’s (2010) classification of strategies: acceptance, amendment, non-acceptance, and combination. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) administered to 20 participants and follow-up interviews with 10 of them to explore the reasoning behind their choices. Analysis revealed that students used ten distinct strategies across both languages. The acceptance strategy, particularly through appreciation tokens, was most frequently employed, accounting for 66.7% of responses in English and 52.9% in Minangkabau. These results suggest that while students tended to accept compliments, they also adapted their responses to align with sociocultural expectations in each language. The findings indicate that students’ pragmatic competence is shaped by both linguistic proficiency and cultural norms. Their bilingual practices reflect an effort to balance modesty with acknowledgment, reinforcing their cultural identity in communicative exchanges. Integrating cultural awareness into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction is essential to develop learners’ pragmatic competence and promote effective intercultural communication.
