Abstract

This study aims to analyse the English language needs of Information Technology (IT) students from both linguistic and pedagogical perspectives. The research seeks to identify the students’ specific language requirements and the implications for curriculum design in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected from 80 students of the Information Systems and Technology Program at ITB Semarang through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis. The findings revealed that reading and writing are the most essential skills for IT students, especially in understanding technical documentation and producing project reports. Students also expressed a strong need for vocabulary enrichment, authentic materials, and digital-based communication practices. The pedagogical implications suggest that ESP instruction should integrate task-based and project-oriented learning, align materials with professional contexts, and emphasize communicative competence in technology-related discourse.

Abstract

This study, based on learning practices in English classes at a university, aims to describe changes in students' English skills and explore the development of their independent learning abilities through digital application-assisted learning and reflective learner diaries. The study was conducted on first-semester Biology students taking an English course at an Indonesian university using a one-group pretest–post-test design for three months. During the intervention, students routinely used an English learning application as a means of independent learning and wrote daily diaries reflecting on the material and their learning experiences. The research data included English proficiency test results before and after the intervention, as well as student learner diaries. The analysis showed a trend toward improving students' English skills, particularly in vocabulary and grammar. Furthermore, the learner diaries indicated a growing awareness of their learning process and the emergence of independent learning behaviours. Although exploratory in nature, this study demonstrates that combining a learning application and written reflections has the potential to support the development of both English skills and students' independent learning abilities in heterogeneous university classes

Abstract

This qualitative generative syntactic study investigates the types of coordination in compound sentences found in Sasaknese children’s books Nyale leq Tian Manusie and Dende Mirah Buaq Ate Kembang Mate. The analysis applies Quirk and Greenbaum’s classification of coordination and employs Chomsky’s X-bar theory to examine the syntactic structures of coordinated clauses. The findings show that Sasaknese employs both syndetic coordination, marked by conjunctions such as laguq ‘but’, dait ‘and’, and terus ‘so’, and asyndetic coordination, which is realized through clause juxtaposition marked by commas. X-bar analysis demonstrates that each coordinated clause independently projects an Conjunction Phrase (ConjP) as the head of IPs, confirming syntactic equality within coordination.
