Abstract

Corrective feedback plays a crucial role in the teaching and learning process, particularly in developing students' writing skills. This research explores English language students' perceptions of lecturers' corrective feedback in writing classes and its impact on their writing motivation. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews from 15 participants. The findings reveal that students have a positive perception of the corrective feedback provided by lecturers during writing classes. They perceive the feedback as beneficial in enhancing their understanding of writing tasks and identifying areas for improvement. Notably, only 27% of students acknowledged experiencing negative emotions such as sadness, confusion, or disappointment when unable to comprehend the lecturers' feedback. Overall, students greatly appreciate the oral and written corrective feedback, as it substantially aids in developing their writing proficiency. Furthermore, the study highlights the positive impact of lecturers' feedback on students' motivation in writing, fostering enthusiasm, focus, and a willingness to learn. These findings underscore the importance of effective corrective feedback strategies in enhancing students' writing skills and sustaining their motivation in the learning process.

Abstract

Slang represents a dynamic and informal aspect of language, often reflecting cultural identity and creativity. This study examines the types and meanings of slang words used in six episodes of the Wednesday series (2022), aiming to explore their linguistic and pedagogical significance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on Miles and Huberman’s content analysis framework, the study categorizes slang words into four types: coinage, blending, clipping, and acronyms. Coinage emerged as the most frequently used type, contributing to the series' authenticity and narrative depth, while blending, clipping, and acronyms provided linguistic variety. The findings highlight the potential of popular media as a resource for EFL learning, offering learners exposure to authentic informal communication. Slang enhances vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and cultural understanding, making it a valuable tool for bridging formal education and real-world language use. However, the study’s scope is limited to six episodes, leaving room for future research to explore additional contexts and pedagogical outcomes. This research underscores the relevance of incorporating media into language instruction, providing practical insights for educators and learners. By analyzing the interplay between slang and media, the study contributes to applied linguistics and supports innovative approaches in EFL pedagogy.

Abstract

This study explores EFL students' perceptions and experiences regarding the implementation of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy to enhance reading comprehension. Recognizing the vital role of reading skills in language development and academic success, the research investigates how TPS facilitates active learning, critical thinking, and collaboration among students. Data were collected through interviews with seven participants and questionnaires from twenty-four students majoring in English Language Education at Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri University during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings reveal that the majority of students view TPS as a highly effective and enjoyable strategy that improves their understanding of reading texts, builds confidence, and fosters peer interaction. Despite these positive outcomes, students face challenges such as limited time for discussion, difficulty in expressing ideas, and differences in background knowledge, which can hinder discussion quality. The study highlights the importance of teachers considering students' abilities and providing appropriate guidance to maximize the strategy’s benefits. Overall, TPS proves to be a valuable approach in motivating students, increasing their engagement, and improving reading comprehension skills.

Abstract

Pre-service English teachers face various challenges that can significantly impact their competencies and roles, particularly in dealing with students and fellow teachers. The COVID-19 pandemic has added an extra layer of complexity by necessitating the transition from traditional face-to-face learning to online education. This shift is evident in the case of the microteaching course, which originally took place in a physical classroom but was abruptly moved to an online format. This study aims to examine the experiences of pre-service English teachers in virtual teaching practice and how they navigate the challenges associated with professional development during the microteaching course. A total of 31 pre-service English teachers participated in this research, engaging in virtual teaching practice. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, questionnaires, and reflective journals. The findings indicate that pre-service English teachers acknowledge the ineffectiveness of virtual microteaching, citing difficulties in managing and accessing teaching processes as well as the challenges of creating suitable teaching materials. As a result, future pedagogical practices should focus on enhancing the preparation and design of teaching and learning materials to better support the professional development of pre-service English teachers. This will ultimately contribute to their growth as educators during their teaching internships.

The research employed Stephen C. Levinson's Theory and utilized a descriptive qualitative method with a content analysis approach. The findings revealed five deixis categories in Kim Namjoon's speech: personal, spatial, temporal, discourse, and social. These were distributed as follows: 129 (65.8%) personal deixis, 15 (7.7%) spatial deixis, 10 (5.1%) temporal deixis, 31 (15.8%) discourse deixis, and 11 (5.6%) social deixis. In total, 196 deixis instances were identified in Kim Namjoon's speech. His speech, titled "Speak Yourself," aimed to inspire young people to embrace self-love, discover their inner voices, and confidently express themselves to the world. The significance of this research lies in enhancing our understanding of deixis and its role as a linguistic resource, particularly in terms of usage and significance within utterances.
