Abstract

This study aims to analyze pragmatic failures in cross-cultural communication. In communication, language is used, language is the most effective instrument that humans have to convey thoughts, ideas, and emotions, or even develop language or cultural differences during conversations. Students majoring in English need to improve their pragmatic competence to communicate effectively with foreign speakers. However, in contrast to pragmatic competence, there is a possibility of misunderstandings involving the target language and the native language, the most common of which is the failure of pragmatics in cross-cultural communication. In this study, the method used is quantitative, using a survey design with descriptive analysis and distributing questionnaires to students at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati. The results found from this study are pragmatic failures in terms of cultural differences, negative language transfer, and also pragmatic competence. In addition, pragmatic failure has a significant impact on the effectiveness of intercultural communication in undergraduate EFL students.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to explore the application of Quizizz as a formative assessment tool in teaching reading comprehension in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. This study examines high school students’ perceptions of quizzes as a formative assessment tool for reading comprehension within EFL contexts. It focuses on increasing digital-based learning engagement among high school students. Using a quantitative research design, this study surveyed 58 eleventh-grade students from SMA PGRI 2 Bandung who had experience using Quizizz in reading activities. Data were collected through a validated 27-item questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.898). The results revealed that the average student response was in the "High" category (M = 3.43), indicating positive perceptions across aspects such as interactivity, gamification, feedback effectiveness, and ease of use. However, some students reported challenges, including time pressure and technical limitations. This study suggests quizzes can be an effective tool for formative assessment of reading comprehension, especially when integrated with supporting instruction. The broader implications emphasize the importance of digital literacy among teachers and the need for infrastructure to support gamified assessment in EFL learning.

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of music on English language learning among Generation Alpha students at SMP IT Sains Albiruni in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires from five participants chosen through purposive sampling, utilizing a qualitative case study methodology. According to Automaticity Theory (LaBerge & Samuels, 1974; DeKeyser, 2001), the results indicate that 94% of students perceive vocabulary retention as more manageable when facilitated by music, whereas 100% acknowledge enhanced pronunciation. Furthermore, 89% of participants assert that music improves their enthusiasm to acquire English. Music-based learning promotes student engagement with authentic language input and enhances listening comprehension abilities. The research indicates that incorporating music-based techniques into language education improves engagement, language proficiency, and motivation among Generation Alpha students.

Abstract

Burnout among pre-service teachers has become an increasing concern in teacher education, especially during teaching practicum, which requires high levels of cognitive, emotional, and instructional involvement. Although there is extensive literature on burnout in in-service teachers, little research has examined its relationship with teaching performance among pre-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Indonesia. This study explores the link between burnout and teaching performance among 45 pre-service EFL teachers at Universitas Islam Nusantara who completed the PLP 2 (Teaching Practicum) programme. Burnout levels were assessed using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), while teaching performance was measured with a researcher-developed Pre-service Teacher Performance Assessment Questionnaire (PTPAQ). Both tools were validated and found reliable, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.721 and 0.779, respectively. Because the data were not normally distributed, Spearman’s rho correlation analysis was performed. Results showed a weak and non-significant negative correlation (r = -0.219, p > 0.05) between burnout and teaching performance. These findings indicate that only. Pedagogical competence and support systems influence pre-service teaching performance more than burnout. The study emphasises the importance of teacher education programmes implementing structured mentorship and resilience-building initiatives to improve teaching quality during practicum.

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) is still rarely studied in the context of English-speaking skills, particularly in terms of its specific impact on speaking skills among undergraduate students. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and English-speaking skills among EFL students at Islamic Nusantara University in Bandung. A survey design involving 93 English Language Education students was employed, utilizing a quantitative approach selected through purposive sampling. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey design. The data collection technique employed a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, which was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study results indicate that emotional intelligence (EI) has a significant impact on the English-speaking abilities of EFL students, playing a crucial role in enhancing confidence, managing anxiety, and improving speaking skills. An average score of 3.99 reflects students’ perception that EI plays a significant role in the success of speaking English. This study’s implications highlight the integration of EI lessons into the English learning curriculum to enhance students’ confidence and speaking skills, thereby creating a more satisfying learning experience. This research offers valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers to design programs that promote the development of emotional intelligence (EI) in the context of language learning, thereby enhancing students’ English-speaking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to determine English Language Education students' perceptions of the teaching profession and the Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG), and their influence on their interest in becoming professional teachers, using the Social Cognitive Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior as theoretical frameworks. This research uses a quantitative method with an ex post facto associative-causal design. Data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale, then analyzed using multiple linear regression and Pearson correlation analysis with the help of SPSS 25. The results of the descriptive analysis show that the majority of respondents have a high perception of the teaching profession (69%), a moderate perception of the PPG (76%), and a moderate interest in becoming professional teachers (60%). The results of the partial t-test show that perception of the teaching profession (t = 2.279; p = 0.025) and perception of the PPG (t = 2.910; p = 0.005) significantly influence interest in becoming a professional teacher. The simultaneous ANOVA test (F = 32.321; p < 0.001) confirms that both variables have a significant effect, with a coefficient of determination value of R² = 0.432. This means these two perceptions can explain 43.2% of the variance in interest in becoming a professional teacher.
