Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate in depth the approaches, methods, and strategies prospective Indonesian English teachers employ when instructing Thai elementary school students learning English as a foreign language in vocabulary. Prospective English teachers in Indonesia were administered questionnaires, which were subsequently subjected to quantitative analysis in order to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of their pedagogical approaches. The findings of the study underscore the prevalence of the combination approach in vocabulary instruction, whereas the favorable reactions of students towards the implementation of technology, role-based activities, and games suggest that the interactive approach has been effective. However, parental involvement in supporting the learning process and comprehension of the local cultural context could be strengthened in order to increase the applicability of instruction. In general, these results provide a significant contribution to the advancement of English language instruction approaches that are more responsive and efficient, particularly as they pertain to the acquisition of English as a second language in elementary schools in Thailand. The findings of this study underscore the importance of further developing responsive and diverse pedagogical approaches, in addition to fostering greater collaboration among educators, learners, and guardians, in order to optimize the efficacy of English vocabulary acquisition in multicultural environments such as the one described.

Abstract

This study examines the perspectives and experiences of the researcher, elementary school English educators, students, and parents with regard to the challenges associated with learning English as a foreign language, particularly in the context of cultural factors. It also investigates potential strategies to incorporate cultural elements into the English learning process to enhance its efficacy. This research adopts a multi-paradigm transformative approach, employing methodologies such as Critical Autoethnography, Inquiry through Writing, postmodern interview-based interviews, and document and literature review. The findings of this study reveal that both the researcher and teachers acknowledge a significant relationship between culture and the process of learning English, suggesting that integrating aspects of diverse cultures into English language instruction holds promise as a novel approach to facilitate English language acquisition within elementary school settings.

Abstract

The challenges brought by Covid-19 have threatened not only the economy and health fields but also the educational sectors. In light of education, this issue has led to the swift migration of the learning process from conventional mode to online learning which has resulted in another bottleneck. The current study explores the perception of EFL Indonesian college students about the challenges and benefits of learning speaking through the online system during the Covid-19 outbreak. Forty-five college students participated in this study and were inquired through a semi-structured questionnaire in the weeks following the final term examinations for the academic year 2020-2021. The data was probed by using grounded theory proposed by Creswell. The findings exposed that effectiveness, online benefits, and improvement opportunities were the benefits obtained by students from the online learning. Meanwhile, distraction and information overload, a technical error in online learning technology and internet connectivity matters as well as limited interaction and inadequate support were hindrances that often hampered the students.  Consequently, this scholarly paper also provides advice on the essence of the readiness of adequate facilities and the collaboration from stakeholders; government, teachers, students, and parents to successfully implement online learning.

Vocabulary serves as the foundation for increasing language skills for language learners. This research aimed to find out the significant impact of the hello words feature in the Hellotalk app on increasing the English vocabulary of 16 students in grade 8. The research utilized a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. Data were collected through a multiple-choice vocabulary test. The research process included a pre-test, treatments, and a post-test. Data analysis was using SPSS 27.01 with descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and paired sample t-tests. The results revealed that the hello words feature in the Hellotalk app significantly increased students' English vocabulary, with an average pre-test score of 58.3313 and a post-test score of 82.5006. At a significance level of ? = 0.05, the paired sample t-test revealed a significance value (2-tailed) of < 0.001, which is smaller than 0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H?) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H?) was accepted.

Abstract

This study discusses the Simalungun oral tradition, namely the Taur-taur Simalungun which began to be abandoned so that it was at the point of extinction because it was abandoned by some users of the oral tradition. One way to overcome this is to document the simalungun oral tradition. This research provides a solution to protect the oral tradition of the Taur-taur Simalungun from extinction. Taur-taur Simalungun is an oral tradition of the Simalungun community in the form of poetry and rhymes and contains stories, advice and satire. The aims of this study were (1) to describe the performance of the Taur-taur Simalungun oral tradition, (2) to evaluate the value content contained in the Taur-taur Simalungun oral tradition, and (3) to find a revitalization model for the Taur-taur Simalungun oral tradition. The Taur-taur Simalungun oral tradition that can be passed down from generation to generation.. The method used is an ethnographic method which includes in-depth interviews and participant observation. By conducting in-depth interviews and participatory observations, the pattern of using the Simalungun language itself will be obtained. Research data in the form of audio recordings, videos, interviews and observations. The results showed that through an anthropolinguistic approach as a whole (text, co-text and context), the oral tradition of the Taur-taur Simalungun can be maintained by documenting the oral tradition in audio-video form, in written format, as well as by developing local content subject matter at school.

Abstract

Writing is a critical language skill that students must acquire; nevertheless, the teaching and learning process for writing in the classroom does not go smoothly. As a result, the purpose of this study is to examine Wordtune's potential as a digital writing aid to enhance the written proficiency of English as a foreign language (EFL) students. To accomplish this goal, a pre-experimental research design was used with quantitative research tools. The pre- and post-tests were employed as tools for gathering data. Twenty students in grade ten at SMK-BM PAB 3 Medan Estate, majoring in MPLB and AKL, served as the sample for this study. Tests were given both before and after the intervention to gather data. The significant difference between the pre-and post-tests was analyzed statistically using SPSS with the T-test. The result indicates that the probability value for pre-test and post-test data is 0.000, the Tcount value is 26.536, and the Ttable value is 2.093. Because the value of Tcount > Ttable is 26.536 > 2.093 and the probability value (Sig.) 0.000 < 0.05. As a result, the use of Wordtune considerably enhanced students' writing skills. As this study demonstrated, Wordtune can be integrated into the learning process to help students write more successfully.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency is a crucial skill for global communication, yet many Thai secondary school students struggle with fluency and confidence due to limited exposure to authentic language use and traditional grammar-focused instruction. Existing research on AI-assisted language learning highlights its potential, but studies on AI Gliglish in Thai classrooms remain scarce. AI Gliglish is an AI-powered English learning platform designed to provide real-time speech assessment, feedback, and interactive conversation practice. This study investigates the effectiveness of AI Gliglish in enhancing students’ speaking proficiency and confidence using a Classroom Action Research approach. Data were collected from 30 Grade 7 students at Muslim Satun Wittaya School, Thailand, through pre-test, post-test, interviews, and classroom observations. Findings indicate a 19.25% improvement in speaking scores, increased student participation, and reduced speaking anxiety. The Paired Sample T-Test (Sig. 0.001 0.05) confirms a statistically significant impact. These results suggest that AI Gliglish effectively enhances speaking skills, supporting its integration into English language education to foster engagement, fluency, and confidence.

Abstract

The development of English-speaking skills among Thai EFL students remains challenging due to linguistic differences, rote-learning methods, and limited real-world practice. While technology-assisted learning is gaining attention, research rarely explores the integration of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) with AI tools. This study examines the effectiveness of combining SRL with ELSA Speak AI to improve  speaking proficiency. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR), 30 sixth-grade students at Darul Muhmin Elementary School underwent a two-cycle intervention, with data collected through pre-tests, post-tests, interviews, and observations. Results show significant improvements in pronunciation, fluency, and confidence, with all students surpassing the minimum passing criteria. The study concludes that integrating SRL with AI fosters learner autonomy, engagement, and performance, demonstrating AI’s potential in EFL education.

Abstract

In the context of increasingly dynamic digital communication, multiplayer online games have evolved into socially rich environments where real-time interaction reflects complex pragmatic behavior. This study investigates how players from Southeast Asian gaming communities negotiate face and utilize politeness strategies during live voice-based gameplay. Unlike previous research that centers on text-based or asynchronous interactions, this study addresses a critical gap by examining how paralinguistic elements such as tone, laughter, and vocal exaggeration influence pragmatic choices in synchronous digital communication. Grounded in Brown and Levinson’s Politeness Theory and Goffman’s concept of face, the study analyzes 120 naturalistic voice chat interactions collected from Overwatch 2 and Dota 2 using qualitative discourse analysis and thematic coding. The results demonstrate that players frequently rely on humor, indirect expressions, and culturally rooted metaphors to manage face-threatening acts and sustain group cohesion under competitive pressure. Rather than confronting errors directly, players use strategic tone modulation to reframe criticism as shared amusement, thus preserving social harmony. The study contributes to digital pragmatics by emphasizing the performative and relational aspects of game-based interaction. These findings carry broader implications for understanding emotional regulation, intercultural communication practices, and the development of socially aware interaction systems in online platforms that prioritize rapid, collaborative exchanges.
