Abstract

Reading is one of the four language skills that are very important to master, as it contributes not only to academic success but also to cognitive and social development. This study aims to explore the cognitive and social benefits obtained from reading skills among 6th semester students of the English Language Education Program at Hamzanwadi University. Using qualitative descriptive methods, data was collected through questionnaires (closed-ended and open-ended questions) validated by linguists and semi-structured interviews that had been tested for reliability. The research population was all semester 6 students of the English Education Study Program, Hamzanwadi University, which amounted to 120 students, with a sample of 12 students selected using purposive sampling techniques based on consistent reading activities. Data analysis uses thematic analysis through coding, categorization, and theme development stages. The findings show four main themes: (1) the improvement of critical thinking skills, (2) the development of vocabulary and language structure, (3) the improvement of social skills and participation, and (4) the formation of independent learning habits. This study concludes that reading skills significantly promote cognitive enrichment through improved analytical and linguistic skills, as well as improving students' ability to interact meaningfully with others in and out of the classroom. The implications of the study point to the need for the development of a more comprehensive reading curriculum and learning strategies that emphasize cognitive and social aspects in English language education.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of using the Episoden application to enhance English speaking skills at MA Manba’ul Bayan. Speaking is often considered the most challenging skill for EFL learners due to limited opportunities for authentic practice, lack of confidence, and vocabulary constraints. To address this, Episoden, a mobile-based platform that enables real-time video conversations with international speakers, was introduced as a supplementary learning tool. The research employed a qualitative descriptive design, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews, and field notes involving eleventh-grade students. Findings revealed that students initially experienced anxiety and hesitation when using the application, but gradually developed greater confidence, fluency, and motivation after repeated practice. The application provided authentic communicative experiences, supported intercultural interaction, and allowed learners to practice beyond the classroom at their own pace. Despite technical challenges such as unstable internet connections and difficulties understanding accents, students expressed positive attitudes toward Episoden and considered it an effective tool for improving their speaking skills. Overall, this study highlights the potential of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications like Episoden in fostering more meaningful and engaging speaking practice for EFL learners.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze imperative sentences found in the script of the movie "The Boss Baby 1." Imperative sentences, which serve to give commands, requests, or instructions, play a crucial role in shaping the interactions among characters in the film. The analytical method employed is a qualitative approach, focusing on the identification, classification, and interpretation of the functions and contexts of imperative sentence usage. The analysis results show that imperative sentences are not only used to convey commands but also to create character dynamics and convey moral messages. These findings are expected to provide deeper insights into language usage in the context of media films and enhance understanding of the social interactions depicted in the film's narrative.
