Abstract

Students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) typically show a unique pattern in their language learning. This fact has been documented in a number of earlier investigations. However, it was discovered that Indonesian teachers and educational institutions were insufficiently prepared to fulfill the needs of their students, both in terms of teaching strategies and the material development. This study then aimed at examining appropriate strategies of teaching English to ASD students as well as finding out the challenges faced by teacher in teaching English in the classroom. The research design of this study was case study research with qualitative approach. The participant of this study was English teacher at SLBN 01 Lombok Timur chosen using purposive sampling. The researchers used documentation, in-depth interviews, and observation to acquire data. The results revealed that the teacher faced some challenges in teaching ASD students, such as lack of focus and concentration during teaching and learning process and speech delay. To address these issues, the teacher and school principle used some strategies to teach children with autism, namely developing oral language comprehension and developing lesson plan with visual media to help the student learn English as a foreign language

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out types of learning strategies applied by students of English education study program at Hamzanwadi University. The subjects of research taken were 75 students of the first semester who took basic English grammar course. Descriptive quantitative was used to obtain and analyze data. The research result showed that the most dominant learning strategy in studying grammar was metacognitive (20, 93%), followed by cognitive (18, 49%), social (17, 83%), affective (16, 48%), memory (15, 97%) and the least applied by the students was compensation (10, 25%). Furthermore, the reason why the students tend to apply metacognitive strategy in learning grammar because it enables them to pay attention on a particular grammar pattern, try to understand and relate it to the previous materials which have been familiar to the students’ minds. Thus, it is implied to the teachers to understand the types of learning strategies then guide the students during their study for a better learning outcome.

The results indicated that students showed improvement in vocabulary mastery, confidence in speaking, and learning motivation. The use of fun and interactive activities created a positive learning environment and encouraged active participation. Therefore, Fun English Activities proved to be an effective alternative strategy for introducing English to young learners in community-based educational programs.

Abstract

Pronunciation clarity is one of the most crucial aspects in mastering English for EFL learners, yet many students still struggle with phoneme articulation, word stress, and intonation. Preliminary observation at MA Birrul Walidain NW Rensing revealed that 11th-grade students frequently mispronounced phonemes such as /θ/ and /ð/, misplaced stress, and produced monotonous intonation, which hindered their intelligibility and confidence. This highlights the urgency of applying an effective and structured phonological training method to improve students’ pronunciation. The present study aimed to examine the impact of the Repeated Reading (RR) technique as a phonological practice tool to enhance pronunciation clarity. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design. The study was conducted at MA Birrul Walidain NW Rensing during the 2025/2026 academic year, involving 26 eleventh-grade students selected randomly into experimental (n=12) and control groups (n=14). Data were collected through pre-test and post-test oral reading tasks, assessed with a pronunciation rubric covering both segmental and suprasegmental features. The instrument was validated by two English teachers, and data were analyzed using SPSS through Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene’s test, Paired Sample t-Test, and Independent Sample t-Test. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean score increased from 9.00 to 12.58 (SD=2.49 to 2.30), with a mean difference of 3.58 (t=10.62, p=0.000). In contrast, the control group only improved from 9.00 to 9.64 (mean difference=0.64, t=1.64, p=0.125). Independent Sample t-Test confirmed a significant difference in post-test scores between groups (mean diff=2.94, t=2.83, p=0.009). These findings indicate that RR significantly enhances pronunciation clarity, particularly in phoneme accuracy, stress placement, intonation, and rhythm. Thus, repeated reading can be considered an effective strategy for EFL pronunciation instruction.

Abstract

The research investigates the use of ChatGPT by EFL learners for their thesis writing in Hamzanwadi University. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was utilized whereby quantitative data were collected through questionnaires from 55 participants who are in the eighth semester while qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews conducted with five purposive respondents. The study results showed a high level of functional reliance on ChatGPT with respect to the ability to understand certain complex theories, improve the grammar, and write paragraphs among students. Yet, psychological and cognitive dependence of students were at moderate levels. Hence, students are able to retain their critical thinking abilities and independence in academic pursuits and consider AI as their cooperating language helper rather than cognitive worker's replacement. Such a phenomenon that may be called "Controlled Reliance" proves that expansion of AI technologies application is not a reason for the lack of independent thinking. Therefore, the higher education institutions are encouraged to devise AI literacy courses aimed at enhancing the usage of artificial intelligence rather than prohibitive measures.

Abstract

General English curricula often fail to equip non-English science majors with essential disciplinary vocabulary, leaving biology students unprepared for the global scientific community. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive needs analysis to identify the specific English learning needs and contextual linguistic barriers of undergraduate biology students. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, empirical data were collected from 31 Biology students at Hamzanwadi University through digital questionnaires and structured in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that students experience severe communicative paralysis when explaining biological concepts due to the morphological complexities of Latin nomenclature, heavily relying on digital translation tools. Conversely, their professional demands are highly specific, requiring skills to translate scientific abstracts, sharp listening for seminars, and tailored materials focusing on biotechnology. This study concludes that standard General English is fundamentally inadequate, mandating an urgent institutional pivot toward a tailored English for Specific Purposes (ESP) syllabus to align learning with industry standards.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify and analyze the types of phrases used in thesis abstracts written by students of the English Education Study Program. Phrase usage in academic writing, especially in thesis abstracts, plays an important role in presenting research information clearly, concisely, and effectively. This study focused on five types of phrases, namely noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, prepositional phrases, and adverbial phrases. The study employed a descriptive qualitative design using content analysis. The data were taken from five thesis abstracts written by students of the English Education Study Program and were classified and analyzed based on phrase categories to determine their frequency and distribution. The findings revealed a total of 463 phrases, consisting of 186 noun phrases, 85 verb phrases, 54 adjective phrases, 97 prepositional phrases, and 41 adverbial phrases. Noun phrases were the most dominant type, indicating their important role in presenting key research elements such as topics, objectives, participants, methods, and findings. The dominance of noun phrases reflects the characteristics of academic writing, which emphasize clarity and conciseness.

Abstract

Developing oral communication in EFL contexts is frequently challenged by students’ low speaking proficiency. This pre-experimental quantitative study investigated the extent to which YouTube-based learning animation storytelling videos improve the speaking skills of 30 seventh-grade students (Class VII A) at SMPN 1 Suralaga. Data were collected through oral assessments administered during pre-test and post-test phases, utilizing a rubric that evaluated pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and fluency. Results revealed a highly significant improvement in speaking performance, with the mean score surging from 5.83 in the pre-test to 10.33 in the post-test. A paired samples t-test confirmed this structural shift with a massive effect size While all assessed aspects improved, pronunciation and vocabulary exhibited the largest gains. Conclusively, integrating authentic multimodal storytelling media successfully elevates the overall classroom performance standard, bridges linguistic gaps, and cultivates students' speaking confidence.

Abstract

  The rapid integration of digital technologies in vocational education demands highly specialized linguistic competencies, particularly for engineering students navigating complex instructional manuals and software interfaces. This qualitative study explores the specific English language barriers encountered by vocational learners and investigates their target needs for instructional media development. Framed within the English for Specific Purposes paradigm, the research involved 31 students in the 11th grade of the Industrial Electronics Engineering program at SMK Negeri 3 Selong, Indonesia. Data were gathered through open ended needs analysis questionnaires and subsequently processed using an interactive qualitative analysis model encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal a multifaceted language barrier where students simultaneously struggle with digital software interfaces, printed instructional manuals, and the physical identification of hardware components. Furthermore, the analysis indicates a strong student demand for a highly contextualized, multimodal learning approach. The participants explicitly requested instructional videos that synchronize authentic visual demonstrations of Internet of Things module assembly with clear bilingual text overlays to mitigate cognitive overload. This study concludes that general English instruction is fundamentally inadequate for vocational contexts, emphasizing the urgent necessity for tailored multimedia interventions to enhance technical vocabulary mastery.
