Abstract

Critical reading is central to academic literacy in EFL higher education, yet many students struggle to engage strategically with complex academic texts. While prior research has examined reading strategies extensively, empirical attention has been limited to how perceived Difficulty and reading perceptions jointly relate to the use of critical reading strategies in Indonesian university contexts. This study adopted an explanatory sequential mixed-method design involving 32 Indonesian EFL undergraduate students. Quantitative data were collected using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. The quantitative phase was followed by semi-structured interviews to explain and contextualize the statistical patterns. The findings indicate that students generally reported high levels of strategy use and positive perceptions of reading, while perceived Difficulty remained moderate. Correlation results showed that reading perception was moderately associated with strategy use, whereas perceived Difficulty demonstrated weak relationships. Although the regression model did not reach statistical significance, reading perception displayed a marginal predictive tendency, suggesting that students’ epistemic orientation toward reading may play a more meaningful role than perceived textual challenge in shaping strategic engagement. Qualitative findings further revealed that students conceptualize Difficulty as multidimensional, encompassing workload, time constraints, motivation, and contextual relevance, rather than merely linguistic complexity. This study suggests that fostering positive perceptions of reading may be more pedagogically impactful than focusing solely on reducing textual Difficulty. The findings contribute to theoretical discussions of the affective–cognitive dimensions of critical reading and offer practical implications for designing strategy-oriented instruction in EFL higher education.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative descriptive method in analyzing the data. There were 10 participants with 15 conversations held in Telaga Bakti Hamlet. To collect data, three techniques were used, namely observation, audio recording, and introspection. In analyzing the data, the researcher used four steps, namely: (1) Identifying the data, (2) Classifying the data, (3) Describing the data, and (4) Explaining the data. Some research results are described in the form of words: Apheresis: 'tita' (while ago). From the word 'tita' which means (while earlier) one or more phonemes have been zeroed out at the beginning of the word. The whole word must be 'satita', the word 'satita' focuses on the first phoneme, namely the consonant phoneme 's' and the vowel 'a'. Syncope: 'malo?' (Is it true?). The elimination of sounds is caused by the language environment and as an effort to save speech by speakers. Based on the research results, the researchers concluded that the Sumbawa language produced was divided into three forms, namely apheresis, syncope, and apocope. Factors causing the loss of sound are efforts to save speech and as a common language in society.

The design of this study is a mixed method, using descriptive qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods or a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods were used to analyze data using Flander's theory and quantitative methods were used to determine the percentage of teacher and student talk time using the Flanders formula. Subjects numbered 30 students with 12 girls and 18 boys. The research data were analyzed by observation, recording, transcripts, coding, then the data were analyzed using the Flanders formula. The results show that asking is the most frequently used by speaking teachers. The percentage of teacher talk is (56.0%) and the percentage of student talk is (33.9%), while the percentage is silent/confused is 10.1%. This shows that teacher talk is the most dominant class interaction during observation. From these results, the researcher concluded that the interaction during the teaching and learning process involved teachers and students and the percentage of teacher and student talk time in class interaction was almost balanced and students were quite active in English class interactions.

Abstract

This study investigates the types and functions of swear words used by Sasak teenagers in Mekarsari Sub-Village, Sumbawa Regency. The research is guided by two main questions: (1) What types of swear words are used by Sasak teenagers? (2) What are the functions of these swear words in their daily interactions? A qualitative research design was employed, involving ten male teenagers as participants. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing). The findings reveal that Sasak teenagers frequently use various swear words, which can be categorized into five main types: swear words related to sex, excretion, body parts, devils, and animals. Among these, swear words from sex, devils, and animals were most dominant. Furthermore, the use of these expressions served four main pragmatic functions: expression, exploration, persuasion, and entertainment. The results indicate that swearing has become a habitual linguistic practice embedded in the teenagers' social interactions and emotional expressions. This study highlights the importance of understanding local linguistic behavior to inform language education, youth character development, and sociolinguistic awareness in multicultural settings.

Abstract

This study explores the sociocultural dimensions of spoken language use in educational contexts through a micro-ethnographic analysis of three naturally occurring speech events in a tertiary institution. Grounded in sociocultural discourse analysis and systemic functional linguistics, the research examines how cultural norms, institutional expectations, and power relations shape classroom talk. Data were collected via unobtrusive naturalistic observation and analyzed using frameworks by Mercer and Halliday to interpret the interplay between linguistic form and social function. Findings reveal that indirectness, pragmatic misalignment, and minimalist engagement reflect speakers’ cultural backgrounds, identity negotiations, and stages of language acquisition. The study underscores spoken discourse as a vehicle for enacting identity, asserting agency, and navigating institutional hierarchies, particularly in multicultural and multilingual settings. Pedagogical implications include the need for enhanced pragmatic instruction, awareness of discourse asymmetries, and inclusive communication strategies in language education. This work contributes to our understanding of how spoken interactions function as sociocultural acts within educational environments
