Abstract

This study explores teachers’ perspectives on the implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in science and math classrooms at SD Al Azhar Pati, a primary school in Indonesia. While CLIL is acknowledged as a bilingual instructional strategy that enhances both language and subject knowledge, limited research has explored its implementation in non-international, resource-limited school contexts. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from five teachers through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews via WhatsApp. Findings reveal that teachers view CLIL as effective for fostering academic vocabulary and meaningful learning. However, challenges such as language barriers, limited materials, and varied student engagement persist. Teachers employed bilingual strategies, interactive activities, and collaboration with English teachers to overcome these challenges. This study underscores the need for professional development and localized resources to strengthen CLIL practices in similar settings.

Abstract

It is necessary to analyze the learners' performance in a foreign language. Furthermore, a lot of teachers still struggle with the exam item analysis. It is employed to determine the learners' accomplishments. If not, the teachers continue to struggle to assign grades. It is intended that they are unable to determine whether the students are making progress. The report also attempts to provide an analysis of the test item's content validity. Finding out if a test is acceptable for the curriculum requires analyzing its content validity.   The goals of this study are to measure the validity of test items for the eleventh grade at SMA Negeri 1 Batangan and to offer information about the quality of English summative exam items. The English summative test items from the first semester of the eleventh grade students at SMAN 1 Batangan were examined for conformity and nonconformity with the learning indicators. The students' answer sheets and the summative exam were the sources of the data. There are forty multiple-choice questions on the test, representing the answers of forty students. According to the research's findings, 31 items, or 77,5%, meet the standards to conform to the learning indicators, whereas 9 items, or 32,5%, do not. This indicates that the English summative test items for the eleventh grade students at SMAN 1 Batangan have a good content validity.

Abstract

Originally designed as a voice and text chat for gamers, Discord has evolved into a massive communication platform, yet its potential in formal language education remains largely unexplored. This study shifts the focus to its practical application in English learning, specifically zeroing in on a core question: how do third-semester students at the English Education Department (EED) of UMK perceive Discord as a viable medium for vocabulary acquisition? Rather than simply assuming the platform's utility, this research investigates the students' direct perspectives to understand if a casual social tool can function effectively in an academic context. To achieve this, the study employs a quantitative approach, utilizing a Google Form survey to gather concrete data. The assessment focuses on two main areas: the students' overall rating of their learning experience on the platform and their specific evaluation of Discord as a tool for mastering new vocabulary. By analyzing these student ratings, the article aims to move beyond theoretical possibilities and provide evidence-based insights. The expected findings will illuminate whether this mainstream app offers genuine educational value, highlighting both the general advantages of the platform and its specific impact on helping university students expand their English vocabulary.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types and functions of filler expressions and to analyze their role as speaking strategies and pragmatic tools in Taapsee Pannu’s spontaneous speech. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected by documenting and observing a YouTube video of her speech. The analysis applied the classifications by Rose (1998) and Stenström (1994). The findings revealed a total of 143 filler expressions, consisting of 93 non-lexical fillers (such as “uh” and “um”) and 50 lexical fillers (such as “I mean,” “like,” and “you know”). These fillers performed five out of seven functions proposed by Stenström: hesitating, reformulating, initiating, linking, and emphasizing.To ensure the reliability of the analysis, an inter-rater test was conducted using the percentage agreement formula. The agreement between two raters reached 88.8% (127 agreements and 16 disagreements) for filler types, and 79.0% (113 agreements and 30 disagreements) for filler functions. These results indicate that the classification process was consistent and dependable. While non-lexical fillers occurred more frequently, lexical fillers were often used for more complex pragmatic purposes, including clarifying meaning and managing transitions. The study shows that filler expressions are not simply signs of disfluency, but they play important roles in maintaining fluency, organizing discourse, and creating a natural conversational flow. From a pragmatic viewpoint, fillers also reveal the speaker’s awareness, spontaneity, and ability to engage the audience effectively. These results highlight the communicative value of fillers in everyday spoken language.

Abstract

This study examined the efficiency of the Grammar Translation Method (GTM) in improving the understanding of university students regarding the Simple Past Tense. It employed one-group pre-test and post-test experimental design with 24 first-semester students of the Department of Islamic Education, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teaching Sciences, IAI Khozinatul Ulum Blora. The students completed a pre-test to determine their prior knowledge, followed by three teaching sessions involving each of the GTM components with explicit grammar explanation, translation practice, and sentence-pattern drills. Post-test was then employed to measure learning gain quantitatively. Data analysis involved Shapiro–Wilk normality test, descriptive statistics, and paired-sample t-test to assess the significance of variations in scores. Findings indicated that the pre-test mean score of 61.25 improved to 70.83 in the post-test, and the paired-sample t-test indicated a statistically significant difference (t = -8.536, df = 23, p = 0.000). Thus, the null hypothesis was rejected, supporting the fact that the Grammar Translation Method significantly improved students' command of the Simple Past Tense. These results suggest that GTM remains an effective and useful way to teach grammar, particularly for low-exposure students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the English learning needs of Animation Study Program students at SMK Raden Umar Said Kudus in the context of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews with 10 students and one English teacher, and syllabus analysis. The needs analysis covered target needs (necessities, lacks, wants) and learning needs (motivation, methods, skills). Findings show that students have high motivation to learn English, primarily to support future careers in the animation industry, including aspirations to work internationally and master animation-specific terminology. Speaking emerged as the most needed skill (85%), followed by writing and vocabulary mastery, particularly technical terms in animation. However, many students reported difficulties in speaking fluently, pronunciation, and listening comprehension, indicating a gap between required and actual competencies. Syllabus analysis revealed that while the curriculum includes ESP-relevant topics such as procedure texts, descriptive texts, narrative texts, and CV writing, classroom implementation often focuses on general grammar and vocabulary with limited integration of animation-related content. Students prefer interactive, technology-based methods such as games, videos, and social media, and favor problem-based learning to connect English with real-world animation tasks. Teachers currently employ the PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production) method, but greater use of industry-specific materials and collaboration with animation instructors is recommended. The study concludes that stronger alignment of materials and methods with vocational contexts is essential to enhance students’ professional readiness in the global animation market.
