Greeting is widely used in establishing social interactions. However, due to cultural backgrounds, history, and geographical location differences, greetings are very different. This paper aims to examine differences between Acehnese and Turkish greetings reflected from the form, type, and function.  Forty people involved in this study. Half of them are the fluent Acehnese speakers who live in Banda Aceh, Greater Aceh, and Sabang. The other half is Turkish people who live in the Turkic-speaking community in Aceh. The data were collected from direct observation and survey. The data were analyzed based on five steps, namely determining, classifying, analyzing, describing, and drawing the conclusion.  The results showed that while both countries use verbal/non-verbal greetings and formal /non-formal greetings, Acehnese greetings are limited. Furthermore, Acehnese used seasonal greetings only for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha whereas Turkish used it in various ways and divided into two categories: time-bound greetings and time-free greetings.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the psychological problems perceived by students in speaking English and to examine factors leading to the problems as well as the students' efforts to cope with the problems. A mixed-method design was used in conducting this study. Data collection was done by distributing a questionnaire to sixty-four participants and interviews conducted with ten students participants of MAS Ulumul Quran in Aceh. The data were analyzed using quantitative data analysis (frequency and percentage formula), and interactive models of qualitative data analysis (data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawings). The findings revealed that the most common psychological problems faced by the students were fear of making mistakes with followed by speaking anxiety, lack of confidence, shyness, and lack of motivation. Those problems were caused by their inability to speak English, an unsupportive learning atmosphere, less speaking practice, negative attitude towards English,  afraid of being mocked and underestimated by friends, afraid of being misunderstood, and terrified of appearing foolish. To cope with the problems, the students did many efforts such as pretending not to be panicked, making jokes,  asking friends’ help, preparing before speaking, avoiding eye contact, inviting friends to practice English, motivating themselves to speak English by reading a motivational book or watching motivational videos, etc. In this regard, it was suggested that the teacher should encourage students to stop thinking that English is difficult to learn, stop worrying about friends’ judgments, and stop thinking about mistakes they possibly made when speaking English in the classrooms. Besides, the teacher should encourage students to practice English with peers or their classmates. Finally, the researcher recommends for further researcher to investigate the teacher’s perception of students’ psychological problems and how they overcome the problems when teaching English.

Abstract

A proposal seminar presentation is one of the compulsory activities that university students must undertake before writing their thesis. This usually causes anxiety for students because they have to present their research proposals in front of lecturers as reviewers. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types and causes of speaking anxiety among English Education Department students at Universitas Syiah Kuala during their proposal seminar presentations. This study used a descriptive qualitative design in which questionnaires, interviews and observation were employed as research instruments. The data were collected from ten students who were presenting their research proposals. The analysis, involving percentages and transcript examination, revealed three types of speaking anxiety: test anxiety, communication apprehension, and fear of evaluation. Test anxiety emerged as the most prevalent type. Additionally, the study identified three primary factors contributing to speaking anxiety: fear of making mistakes, insufficient knowledge, and low self-confidence.

Abstract

English language acquisition is essential to be developed from a young age. However, most elementary school students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) continue to experience numerous challenges. These are usually the result of instructional strategies that do not fully align with the requirements of 21st-century skills. Instruction is often teacher-centred, with not much peer interaction and hardly any utilization of technology to support meaningful learning experiences. This condition highlights the need to explore how interactive technologies can improve student engagement and make learning more meaningful and learner-centered. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the impact of student engagement in an English private classroom in Banda Aceh where the application of the interactive technology AhaSlides was integrated in the learning process. A case study design was employed, with six students aged between 10-11 years old. Observation sheets were used as data collection instrument to assess student engagement during the lessons taught by the teacher with and without the integration of technology, AhaSlides. The findings indicate an increase in student engagement after the teacher integrated AhaSlides in the learning process in terms of positive body language, consistent focus, verbal participation, confidence, and fun and excitement. This confirms that technology use can enhance learner engagement, which is essential to the success of English language learning.

Abstract

Meurukon is a well-known Islamic art in an Acehnese society that live in the northernmost of Sumatera Island, Indonesia. Very little research has raised meurukon as the research subject to analyze its theological elements. This study aims at describing the theology in Meurukon and the use of Meurukon as a medium for learning theology. This qualitative research gathered data by collecting Meurukon manuscripts from Rahman (2010) and Huda (2018), and interviewing eight informants. The results showed that the main theological issues discussed in Meurukon are the nature of religion and the nature of God, faith, Islam, classification of Allah’s 20 attributes, faith in angels, doomsday sign, the foundation of prayer, and the Apostle's command. The analysis has also found that Meurukon as a medium for learning theology is used through compulsory activities in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), extracurricular activities in schools, routine activities in celebrating religious holidays, competitions between villages, districts, and cities, broadcasts on television media, rice harvest parties, and teaching materials or courses at literary and art universities.  AbstrakMeurukon merupakan salah satu kesenian Islam yang dikenal luas dalam masyarakat Aceh yang mendiami wilayah paling utara Pulau Sumatra, Indonesia. Sangat sedikit penelitian yang mengangkat meurukon sebagai objek kajian untuk menganalisis unsur-unsur teologis yang terkandung di dalamnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan aspek-aspek teologi dalam meurukon serta pemanfaatan meurukon sebagai media pembelajaran teologi. Penelitian kualitatif ini mengumpulkan data melalui pengkajian naskah-naskah meurukon yang dihimpun oleh Rahman (2010) dan Huda (2018), serta wawancara dengan delapan informan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persoalan-persoalan teologis utama yang dibahas dalam meurukon meliputi hakikat agama dan hakikat Tuhan, iman, Islam, klasifikasi dua puluh sifat Allah, iman kepada malaikat, tanda-tanda hari kiamat, dasar-dasar salat, serta perintah-perintah Rasul. Analisis juga menemukan bahwa meurukon sebagai media pembelajaran teologi dimanfaatkan melalui kegiatan wajib di pesantren, kegiatan ekstrakurikuler di sekolah, kegiatan rutin dalam peringatan hari-hari besar keagamaan, perlombaan antardesa, antarkecamatan, dan antarkota, siaran di media televisi, pesta panen padi, serta sebagai bahan ajar atau mata kuliah di perguruan tinggi bidang sastra dan seni.

Abstract

Thesis Defense Examination (TDE) is an assessment that most undergraduate students around the world have to pass in order to graduate from universities. Some students can pass the examination satisfactorily, while others fail due to their poor performance. In the EFL general context, the issue of poor performance of undergraduate students in the TDE conducted in English is a piece of common knowledge among lecturers as the examiners and students as the examinees. Within the Indonesian context, this study aims at investigating students and lecturers experiences in Research Methodology (RM) (focusing on written competence) and Seminar on ELT (SoELT) (focusing on oral competence) courses, where the case was taken from the English Education Department of a public university located in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. By using a purposive sampling technique, we involved five students who have passed RM and SoELT, two lecturers who teach RM, and two lecturers who teach SoELT as the participants in this qualitative research. Interviews were employed to gather the data to address the investigation. We consulted Hyland (2004) for the analysis of the teaching and learning of written competence, and Alptekin (2002) to analyze the teaching and learning of oral competence in classroom activities. The results of the analysis show that there are matches and mismatches between what was experienced by the students and what the lecturers experienced. We also found that some activities in the courses hindered students from being competent in their performance in TDE.
