Abstract

English language proficiency is a critical competency for university students in Indonesia, serving as a gateway to academic achievement, global engagement, and professional advancement. Despite its importance, limited empirical data exist on students' actual proficiency levels, especially through mobile-based assessments designed to reflect real-world language use in context. This study investigates the English proficiency of Indonesian undergraduate students using the EnglishScore mobile application—an internationally recognized assessment tool that differs from traditional exams like TOEFL or IELTS by offering short, adaptive, and skills-specific tests accessible via smartphones. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive design, the study assessed 1.216 students from various departments on grammar, vocabulary, reading, and listening, aligned with CEFR standards. Results show that 55% of students are at A1, 28% at A2, 12% at B1, and only 3% at B2. These findings reveal a substantial gap between expected and actual proficiency levels after years of formal instruction. The research highlights the urgent need for universities to adopt communicative, proficiency-oriented curricula and leverage mobile-based diagnostics to inform instruction. Mobile tools like EnglishScore, which mirror authentic language use by simulating everyday communicative tasks, offer scalable, low-barrier alternatives for assessment. This study contributes to the underexplored area of digital language testing in Indonesia and provides actionable insights for policymakers and educators to enhance language learning strategies through technology-informed policy and pedagogy.

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

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

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.

Abstract

This research investigates the correlation between the speaking and writing abilities of first-semester students in the Management Study Program at Universitas Muria Kudus. Drawing on the perspectives of language learning theories and previous studies, the research aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between these two productive language skills. The study employs a correlational design, utilizing scores from the Speaking and Writing courses as quantitative measures. The data analysis, conducted through statistical methods such as Pearson's correlation coefficient, explores the strength and direction of the relationship between speaking and writing abilities. The research is grounded in the belief that an integrated approach to language teaching is essential, and understanding the correlation between these skills can enhance language learning methodologies. The findings of this study have implications for language educators, curriculum developers, and researchers interested in the intersection of speaking and writing abilities among university students in non-English education programs.

Abstract

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) is an innovative teaching approach that combines content subject with language learning. It is essential to explore students' socio-affective perceptions of the implementation of this approach because these perceptions can influence their learning experience and outcome. This study aims to explore students’ socio-affective perceptions of 11th grade senior high school students at MAN 2 Kudus regarding the use of CLIL in science class. In this study, researchers used qualitative methods with open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The participants were 27 students in the 11th grade of XI-5 at MAN 2 Kudus. The results show that students’ attitudes in CLIL-based Science class, such as confidence, comfort, motivation, and participation, are influenced by their English proficiency. Those with higher English proficiency tend to feel more confident, motivated, and participative in the classroom, while those with lower proficiency have more challenges and participate less. Despite these challenges, most students had a positive perception of the use of the CLIL approach. They believe that it helps enhance their English skills, significantly improving their vocabulary.

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

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.
