Abstract

Roleplay is one of the interactive methods often used in foreign language learning, especially to improve speaking skills. But students may have different preferences about the type of roleplay they enjoy and find effective. In German Language education, roleplay helps students become more confident and fluent in using the language in real-life situations. However, not all types of roleplay work equally well for all learners. Understanding which types of roleplay students prefer can help educators design more engaging and effective learning activities. This study explores the preferences of German language education students at Universitas Negeri Malang regarding different types of classroom roleplay. A Likert-scale survey and in-depth interviews were used to examine preferences in four aspects: pair vs. group roleplay, preferred themes (daily life, academic, or professional scenarios), preferred formats (improvised vs. scripted) and preferred show in (live presentation in class vs. making videotape). The results show that most students prefer to pair roleplay with familiar, everyday themes and a flexible format that combines improvisation and light scripting and prefer to do live presentations in class for the Roleplay. A total of 20 second semester students from Class C participated in a Likert scale questionnaire, and six of them were also interviewed for deeper insight. This study suggests that aligning roleplay activities with student preferences can support more active participation and better language learning outcomes. Future research could further explore how these preferences relate to students' performance and confidence in real communication.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Verbstellung (verb order) errors in German verbal communication made by A2-B1 level students through podcast assignments in the Mündliche Kommunikation course. The analysis was conducted using Pit Corder's error analysis theory approach, which provided the researcher with the opportunity to identify the types and characteristics of the errors. Verbstellung is an important aspect of German sentence structure that is often a source of errors due to mother tongue interference and lack of understanding of grammatical structures. Data was collected from the transcription of student podcasts, then analyzed to find the dominant error patterns. This study found that verb position errors, especially in subordinate clauses, are a major challenge for beginner learners. Most of the errors indicate that learners do not fully understand German sentence structure, so a teaching approach that focuses more on practice and error correction is needed.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the use of conjunctions by third-semester students of the German Language Education program at Universitas Negeri Malang in their oral communication tasks in the form of vlogs, and to identify the grammatical errors present in their usage. These vlogs are outputs of the course Mündliche Konversation, which is designed to train students' speaking skills in a realistic, independent, and communicative context. This study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis methods. Data were collected from the documentation of eight group videos created by students and analyzed based on German grammar theory by Helbig and Buscha (1996). The results show that students used various types of conjunctions, both coordinating and subordinating, with a predominance of subordinating conjunctions such as dass and weil. Despite attempts to construct complex sentence structures, several errors were found, including errors in verb placement, verb selection, absence of a subject, and the lack of a verb in clauses, indicating the need for further grammatical development.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the various positive and negative emotions experienced by students, and the factors that cause these emotions to appear in the context of learning. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques using a questionnaire adapted from the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ) and interviews. The results of this study show that most students tend to feel positive emotions when learning in class and receiving grades/results. Meanwhile, they dominantly feel negative emotions when facing exams. The focus of this study is on students taking Sprachkompetenz Deutsch II, which has not received much attention in previous studies. However, this study has not explored academic experiences in other courses, which may give rise to different emotional dynamics. The findings of this study contribute to understanding the role of students' emotions in Sprachkompetenz Deutsch II and can serve as a reference for teachers to design teaching methods that are more sensitive to students' emotions.

Abstract

This study examines the usability of a Virtual Reality (VR)-based learning medium entitled Im Krankenhaus in A2-level German language learning at Universitas Negeri Malang. The study responds to the need for contextual and immersive learning media that support situational communication, particularly in healthcare-related contexts. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed involving 20 students from the German Language Education Study Program. Data were collected using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The results showed that the Im Krankenhaus VR medium achieved a mean SUS score of 70.5, placing it in the acceptable category with a Grade B classification. This indicates that the medium demonstrates a good level of usability and is suitable for German language learning. Item-level analysis revealed strong learnability, as participants perceived the system as easy to use and easy to learn. Furthermore, participants’ willingness to reuse the VR medium reflected a positive level of satisfaction, indicating a favorable user experience and increased confidence during interaction with the system. However, some participants still required assistance and an adaptation period during initial use. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the usability of VR-based media in German language learning within a healthcare communication context. The findings suggest that VR has considerable potential as an immersive and contextual learning medium, particularly when accompanied by adequate user orientation and guidance.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of Language Exchange through the HelloTalk app to enhance the speaking skills of Mandarin Language Education students at State University of Malang, Class of 2022. In the era of globalization, Mandarin language skills are becoming increasingly important. A descriptive qualitative method was used to collect data through observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The results show that language exchange via HelloTalk positively impacts students' confidence and motivation in speaking Mandarin. Students feel more comfortable communicating with native speakers and gain a more interactive learning experience. Although some challenges relate to app feature access, most students recommend its use. This study suggests integrating Language Exchange with apps like HelloTalk to boost students' confidence and motivation in Mandarin language learning. Future research is recommended to involve participants from more diverse backgrounds and explore the potential of language exchange in learning other languages.

Abstract

Foreign language learning involves not only linguistic competence but also emotional factors that influence learning effectiveness. This study explores the emotional experiences of Guangxi Normal University (GXNU) students in the 3+1 program at Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) during BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) learning. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires and writing tasks from 17 students (13 female, 4 male). The findings indicate that most students experienced positive emotions, with 64.7% reporting no anxiety and a low average boredom score (1.35). Nevertheless, 5.9% still felt anxious, particularly during examinations and academic tasks, while boredom occasionally emerged when learning activities became repetitive. Although emotions such as worry, boredom, and embarrassment are natural in language learning, they may hinder progress if not properly managed. Conversely, moderate anxiety can function as a learning motivator. Therefore, BIPA instructors should adopt emotionally supportive teaching strategies, including scaffolded speaking, pair and group work, context-based tasks, roleplays, and interactive media. These findings align with Sobara et al. (2024), which reported high student satisfaction with teaching methods, learning materials, teacher–student interaction, and the supportive learning environment, indicating the effectiveness of the UM 3+1 BIPA program.
