Students leave their countries to pursue tertiary education abroad under different motives. To understand this case, this study aimed to identify the prospective students’ perceptions on overseas academic settings. A total of 100 Acehnese students applying for overseas scholarship were surveyed. The obtained data were then processed using SPSS 24.0 for descriptive quantitative elaboration. The findings indicated that both females and males shared relatively similar views on the quality of international tertiary education. Both positively consider overseas universities to have better learning quality, better learning environment and better research experience. It is suggested that prospective students equip themselves with good English language competence to increase their chance to study abroad.

In this paper, the author first records, transcribes, and then analyses a short extract from an English conversation among three graduate students with different cultural backgrounds. It aims to analyse several aspects of conversation analysis; turn-taking, topic change, preference organisation, listing, use of figurative language, face saving, breakdowns and repairs, and dysfluency. The data analysis shows that there is an interesting feature occurs concerning to overlapping during conversation. Moreover, dysfluency is also one of noticeable features which exist regularly during the conversation. However, the figurative language that is expected to emerge during talk among different cultural background cannot be figured out because the participants tend to avoid using such complex and idiomatic language structure.

(Lakoff and Johnson, 1980) They, in addition, note that language, activity and human thought are con-ceptualized in metaphoric way. Furthermore, the metaphorical concept in thought is developed from several correlated experience. (Lakoff, 1992; Kovesces, 2005) For example, as it is explained by Lakoff, people talk about love in the way of talking about journey. Love is conceived in the way of journey is understood. Two lovers are positioned as two persons who are in traveling. Their relationship is the vehicle to gain their love expectations in the same way as destination in a journey. They use journey to conceptualize love and act of love in that way. When they find several difficulties along the way, it means that they have problems in their relationship.

This study aimed to identify the learning strategies utilized by students in the English Department of UIN Ar-Raniry during the listening section of paper-based TOEFL tests, determine the predominant learning strategy among these students, and explore the differences in the strategies employed by those who achieved the highest and lowest scores in the listening section of the tests. The study's population comprised 224 students from the English Department of the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training of UIN Ar-Raniry who had completed paper-based TOEFL tests. The purposive sampling technique was employed to select the sample of forty students with the highest and lowest scores in the listening section of paper-based TOEFL tests for this study. The research methods employed included document analysis, questionnaires, and interviews. The questionnaire items in this study were adapted from SILL (The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning) developed by Oxford. The study's findings indicate that students utilize diverse learning strategies throughout the listening section of the TOEFL test. The strategies encompass memory-based direct strategies, cognitive direct strategies, compensation-based direct strategies, metacognitive indirect strategies, affective indirect strategies, and social indirect strategies. They implement these strategies proficiently. The predominant learning strategies employed by the majority are "organizing and evaluating your learning," categorized under metacognitive indirect strategies. They utilize these strategies to a moderate extent. Simultaneously, the majority of students with the lowest scores employed a variety of learning strategies, particularly social strategies, and demonstrated high levels of proficiency in these strategies.

This study critically examined the use of English-language proficiency tests, such as the TOEFL and IELTS, as gatekeeping tools for university admissions in Indonesia. While these tests serve as standardised indicators of academic readiness, their widespread application raises concerns about fairness, accessibility, and sociocultural implications, especially for students in rural areas. Grounded in sociocultural theories of language, identity, and power, and informed by contemporary research on language assessment and educational equity, this qualitative inquiry used critical autoethnography, reflective narratives, and critical analysis to explore two main focuses of the issue: why English proficiency tests are used as entrance requirements in a country where English is not the medium of daily communication, and how these tests affect students’ identities and opportunities. Findings showed that these tests often function beyond linguistic evaluation—symbolising institutional prestige, perpetuating social inequalities, and constructing identity hierarchies among students. The investigation is further enriched by contemporary research on language assessment and educational equity, which provides a framework for understanding how these tests may inadvertently perpetuate social inequalities and limit opportunities for certain student groups. The paper concludes by recommending inclusive language policies and enhanced access to language learning in rural Indonesia.
