Abstract

This study investigates gender-based discourse patterns in English classrooms through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) at MTsN 2 Kota Bengkulu during the 2024/2025 academic year. The participants were 8th grade students whose classroom interactions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using Fairclough’s CDA framework. The study aimed to identify (1) how male and female students participated in classroom discourse and (2) what gendered patterns emerged during teacher–student and student–student interactions. The findings revealed that male students dominated verbal participation by taking more turns, providing longer responses, and initiating more spontaneous interactions. Female students participated less frequently and tended to wait for teacher nomination before speaking, producing shorter and more cautious responses. Teachers’ discourse practices, including question distribution and feedback patterns, unintentionally reinforced these differences by giving male students more opportunities for elaboration. The results align with previous research, indicating that classroom discourse often reproduces broader gender ideologies. The study concludes that English classrooms at MTsN 2 Kota Bengkulu reflect gendered participation norms and recommends more equitable discourse strategies to promote balanced interaction.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Translanguaging, the strategic use of multiple languages within communication, has emerged as a significant pedagogical phenomenon in multilingual classrooms. In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, it enables students to draw on their full linguistic repertoire to enhance comprehension and participation. This study examines the types and functions of translanguaging employed by students during class discussions in the Second Language Acquisition (SLA) course at the English Education Study Program, UniversitasMuhammadiyah Bengkulu. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design, data were gathered through video recordings of three discussion sessions, transcriptions, and structured observations based on the classifications of Hoffman (1991) and Poplack (1980). The analysis identified three main types: intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag translanguaging, with intra-sentential being the most prevalent, often used to embed technical terms within Indonesian explanations. Functions observed include clarifying academic concepts, providing culturally relevant examples, and fostering inclusive social interaction. These findings indicate that translanguaging in EFL classroom discussions operates as a deliberate and strategic communication approach rather than random language mixing. It can serve as an effective pedagogical tool to improve comprehension and active engagement, suggesting its potential for broader application in EFL learning environments. Keywords: Classroom Discussion, EFL Students, Second Language Acquisition (SLA), Translanguaging.

Abstract

Learning motivation is a critical internal drive determining academic success, yet it remains a significant challenge for stigmatized learners. This study aims to identify the psychological factors contributing to low learning motivation among stigmatized students and examine the effectiveness of a psychological-empathic approach in enhancing their motivation in English language learning. Conducted at MA Muhammadiyah Suprapto Bengkulu City, this descriptive qualitative research involved eight students as research subjects. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation during the School Field Experience Program (PLP II). The findings reveal that low motivation is driven by internal factors such as emotional pressure from unstable family backgrounds and low self-esteem and external factors, specifically negative social labeling and a lack of emotional support. However, the implementation of a psychological approach, characterized by active listening, emotional validation, and empathetic interpersonal interactions, significantly reduced academic anxiety and fostered students' self-confidence. The results showed a notable shift in student behavior from passivity to active engagement and increased participation in communication-based tasks. This study concludes that a psychological-empathic approach is a central factor in restoring the learning enthusiasm of stigmatized students by creating a safe and inclusive emotional climate. These findings suggest that emotional recovery through humanistic teacher-student relationships is a fundamental prerequisite for academic engagement in foreign language learning.
