Abstract

The integration of lexical and grammatical knowledge remains a persistent challenge for learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). While previous studies have explored the use of card games to enhance discrete language skills, limited qualitative attention has been given to students’ internal strategies and perceived challenges when integrating vocabulary and grammar simultaneously, particularly in Islamic secondary school contexts. This qualitative case study investigates students’ strategies and challenges in integrating lexical and grammatical knowledge through card game media at MTs Noor Aini Banjarmasin. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four ninth-grade students and classroom observations conducted across three instructional sessions. Thematic analysis revealed two dominant strategies: Lexical-Led Construction, in which learners prioritize word meaning before grammatical arrangement, and Structural Patterning, in which learners employ sentence frameworks prior to lexical insertion. Major challenges included grammatical complexity, unfamiliar vocabulary, and time pressure. Peer collaboration emerged as the primary coping mechanism, facilitating scaffolding and reducing language anxiety. The findings suggest that card games function not merely as motivational tools but as pedagogical mediators that foster lexicogrammatical integration through collaborative learning. This study contributes qualitative evidence to game-based language learning and offers pedagogical implications for EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the hospitality industry has intensified expectations regarding service efficiency, personalization, and operational performance. Despite growing empirical evidence highlighting the potential benefits of AI-enabled systems, implementation outcomes across hotel contexts remain uneven. This inconsistency suggests that technological capability alone is insufficient to explain project success, underscoring the need to examine AI adoption through the lens of information technology (IT) project management. Accordingly, this study investigates how AI-driven IT projects contribute to operational efficiency in the hospitality sector and identifies managerial and organizational factors that differentiate successful implementations from those that underperform or fail. A structured literature review (SLR) was conducted to synthesize recent empirical and conceptual studies on AI implementation in hotel operations. The analysis focuses on operational performance outcomes across guest-facing and organizational domains, as well as contextual conditions shaping project execution. The results indicate that AI-driven IT projects are commonly associated with improvements in service responsiveness, personalization accuracy, internal workflow efficiency, and resource utilization. However, the magnitude and sustainability of these benefits vary considerably across implementation contexts. An aggregated analysis of operational outcomes reveals that projects achieving balanced improvements across both service and organizational dimensions tend to demonstrate more stable efficiency gains. The findings further highlight leadership commitment, stakeholder engagement, change management practices, and system integration depth as critical determinants of project success. By framing AI adoption as a socio-technical IT project rather than a standalone technological upgrade, this study contributes to the hospitality and information systems literature and offers actionable insights for managers seeking to align AI initiatives with organizational strategy and service delivery objectives

Abstract

This study examines the influence of Banjarese prosodic features on English suprasegmental performance (stress, rhythm, and intonation) among undergraduate EFL students at UIN Antasari Banjarmasin. While these features are critical for intelligibility, they remain under-addressed in EFL instruction. Using a qualitative approach, seven native Banjarese speakers were purposively selected and engaged in semi-structured interviews that elicited both metalinguistic reflections and spoken English samples. Data were transcribed and subjected to content analysis. Results indicate systematic L1 transfer manifesting in three primary patterns: (1) a tendency toward final-syllable stress placement, (2) reduced intonational variation, and (3) a syllable-timed rhythmic structure. These prosodic transfers were found to compromise speech naturalness and intelligibility. Participants reported employing compensatory strategies—including auditory imitation, self-monitoring, and corrective feedback—to mitigate these challenges. The study contributes to second language acquisition theory by documenting suprasegmental transfer in a previously underexplored linguistic community. It further argues for the explicit integration of suprasegmental instruction within Indonesian higher education curricula. Pedagogical recommendations include rhythm-focused drilling, prosodic shadowing tasks, and metacognitive reflection to enhance phonological awareness. The research concludes that fostering prosodic competence is essential for developing communicative proficiency in multilingual EFL contexts.
