Abstract

The Hallyu wave phenomenon becomes a trendsetter in Indonesia lately. Since K-Pop is starting to know spread Hallyu widely, K-Pop music has become a global trend nowadays in the music industry. This study tries to raise awareness of hidden difficulties in a song that we frequently listen to in our daily lives. It also aspires to provide a fresh viewpoint on how gender stereotypes are formed. This research used qualitative methods. Music videos (MVs) and lyrics from all of ITZY's title track songs serve as the study's key data. The information was gathered using the earlier in this section keyword ITZY songs on YouTube. Two theories were used to analyze the data. The first framework is based on Evans and Davies' gender stereotype theory, which consists of eight gender feminine characteristics. Copenhaver's idea of stereotyped gender features provides the second framework. First, the stereotype has been subverted by feminine characteristics that are only seen in passiveness qualities. Women have to express their aspirations and thoughts, and in "Mafia: In the Morning," they show their fierceness and savagery to be careful with women who intend to look as society standard (innocent, calm, and elegant) can be a danger or unbelievable, but this phenomenon cannot be generalized at all. Second, three behavioral qualities have been used to defy the stereotype: lack of confidence, fearfulness, and being people-oriented.

Abstract

This community service initiative took place at Pondok An Nahdloh, an Islamic boarding institution in Selangor, Malaysia, particularly serving the educational requirements of children of Indonesian migrant workers. Despite the integration of religious and general language training, students encounter difficulties in acquiring derivational and inflectional morphemes due to linguistic interference, inconsistent pedagogical approaches, and restricted access to resources. To address these issues, the project applied a multilingual and contextualized teaching approach that incorporated contrastive analysis, translanguaging strategies, and the use of familiar cultural and religious contexts. Materials suitable for various age groups were created, comprising interactive games, organized exercises, and digital resources like flashcards, quizzes, and augmented reality experiences. Furthermore, capacity-building workshops were conducted for educators and community people to guarantee sustainability. The project results indicated higher student skill in morpheme application, heightened motivation for language acquisition, and improved teacher effectiveness in providing consistent instruction.

Abstract

This study examines secondary school students’ attitudes toward using ChatGPT as an educational tool for English writing. Since the development of artificial intelligence (AI), ChatGPT has increasingly been used to support writing skill development, particularly in idea generation, proofreading, vocabulary enrichment, and improving writing structure. In the context of English language learning, writing is often considered a challenging skill because students must organize ideas, apply grammar rules, choose appropriate vocabulary, and maintain coherence in their texts. Therefore, the presence of ChatGPT offers potential assistance for students who need immediate feedback and writing guidance. This research employed a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews as the main data collection technique. A total of 25 students were purposively selected based on their English proficiency level and computer skills. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis to identify students’ perceptions, experiences, and concerns regarding the use of ChatGPT in English writing activities. The findings revealed that ChatGPT provided several benefits for students. It helped them improve their writing skills by giving instant feedback on grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and organization. Students also reported that ChatGPT supported vocabulary acquisition by introducing new words, expressions, and alternative sentence forms. In addition, the tool stimulated idea generation, especially when students experienced difficulty starting or developing their writing. However, the study also found several limitations. Some students expressed concern about becoming overly dependent on AI, while others noted that ChatGPT’s suggestions were not always accurate or suitable.

Abstract

Speaking is considered one of the most important language skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning because it enables students to express ideas and communicate effectively. However, many junior high school students still experience difficulties in developing speaking skills due to limited opportunities to use English in their learning environment. One important factor that supports language development is exposure to the target language. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of English exposure used in speaking learning and examine how English exposure contributes to the development of junior high school students’ speaking skills. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyze relevant previous studies related to English exposure and speaking skills. A total of 10 studies published between 2017 and 2026 were selected and analyzed based on specific inclusion criteria. The findings reveal that English exposure in speaking learning occurs through several instructional approaches, including role-play activities, technology-based learning media, and interactive classroom activities such as picture-based tasks and problem-based learning. These forms of exposure provide students with meaningful opportunities to practice speaking, increase their confidence, and improve their communication performance. Overall, the results indicate that English exposure plays a significant role in supporting the development of junior high school students’ speaking skills. Providing varied and meaningful exposure to English can help students develop greater confidence, fluency, and communicative competence in speaking.

Abstract

Limited vocabulary and inappropriate word selection often hinder junior high school students from producing effective English descriptive texts. To address this issue, a community service program entitled Teaching Lexical Choice for Writing Short Descriptive Texts at Pondok An Nahdloh, Selangor, Malaysia was conducted to improve students’ lexical diversity, lexical appropriateness, and linguistic development. The program involved fifteen Indonesian junior high school students and was implemented through a participatory training approach consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Instructional activities included introducing lexical choice, practicing synonym use, selecting contextually appropriate vocabulary, and writing short self-descriptive texts. Students completed writing tasks before and after the training, and their texts were evaluated using a lexical analysis rubric covering lexical diversity, lexical appropriateness, lexical density, register awareness, and overall lexical control. The findings showed substantial improvement in students’ lexical performance. The average total score increased from 12.07 (Fair) in the pre-writing task to 21.80 (Excellent) in the post-writing task. Students demonstrated greater vocabulary variation, more precise word selection, higher lexical density, and improved control of descriptive language. These findings indicate that lexical-choice instruction is an effective strategy for enhancing students’ writing quality and supporting linguistic development in English language learning.

Abstract

The integration of gamification into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has gained significant attention due to its potential to increase student engagement and motivation. Among various digital learning platforms, Kahoot has emerged as one of the most widely used tools for creating interactive and game-based learning experiences. While numerous studies have investigated the effectiveness of Kahoot in improving learning outcomes, limited attention has been paid to students’ perceptions of its use in speaking activities. This narrative literature review aims to explore how students perceive Kahoot-based speaking activities and to identify the pedagogical benefits and challenges associated with its implementation in EFL classrooms. The review synthesizes findings from recent studies published between 2016 and 2025 focusing on Kahoot, speaking instruction, gamification, and learner engagement. The findings indicate that students generally perceive Kahoot positively due to its ability to create an enjoyable learning atmosphere, reduce speaking anxiety, increase motivation, and encourage classroom participation. Furthermore, Kahoot facilitates collaborative interaction and promotes willingness to communicate in English. However, several challenges have also been identified, including time pressure, technological limitations, and the possibility of prioritizing competition over meaningful communication. The review concludes that Kahoot has considerable potential to support speaking activities when integrated with communicative teaching strategies. Future research is encouraged to investigate long-term impacts of Kahoot on speaking development and communicative competence in diverse EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of communicative teaching strategies on learners’ motivation in acquiring English as a foreign language. It seeks to analyze how interactive instructional practices such as role-play activities, group discussions, and game-based learning contribute to enhancing students’ engagement, classroom participation, self-confidence, and overall learning motivation. A qualitative research design was implemented, involving five private English learners with varying levels of proficiency and motivational backgrounds. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, and were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns related to learner motivation and classroom interaction. The findings indicate that communicative teaching strategies exert a positive effect on students’ motivational development, reflected in increased engagement, more active participation, improved self-confidence, enhanced speaking performance, and reduced language anxiety. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivational dimensions were strengthened through meaningful communicative tasks, which encouraged learners to become more involved and enthusiastic in the learning process. These results suggest that interactive and student-centered classroom practices play a crucial role in fostering a supportive and motivating learning environment. The implications of this study are applicable to English language instruction, teacher professional development, curriculum design, and classroom management, particularly in efforts to create more dynamic and engaging learning settings. Furthermore, this research enriches the existing body of literature by offering detailed qualitative insights into learners’ lived experiences and small-group interaction dynamics, illustrating how specific communicative activities shape motivation, engagement, and participation in EFL learning contexts.
