This is a qualitative study investigating EFL learners’ difficulties in constructing English sentence patterns. EFL learners have difficulties in constructing English sentences because of some reasons. To know what difficulties that EFL learners experienced, 30 secondary school students of X MIPA (Natural Science Program) and X IPS (Social Science Program) were selected as the participant of the research. The age ranges of the students are 15-16 years olds. The interview was used as the main data collection instrument. The result showed that there were five themes elicited from the interview data. Those are, vocabulary is the main problem, Word order is important to learn, Interlanguage is another important issue, Example-based teaching is preferred, and integrated grammar with other skills. Freon the research findings it is also indicated that there are many factors that caused learners’ grammar mastery levels. None of those factors can be judged to affect deeply than others. On the teaching side, teachers’ understanding of the needs of the learners is important. Providing better and appropriate input while teaching should not also be taken for granted by the English language teacher, assigning proper activities and feedback probably can add comprehensible input for the learner in learning grammar. On the learning side, however, learners should know their needs and better learning strategies. Some strategies are working very well for some learners, but not for others because inappropriate learning strategies can lead to an ineffective learning process. Keywords: EFL learner, learners’ difficulties, English sentence pattern

One of the effects of the existence of Covid-19 was that face-to-face schooling could not be conducted continuously, and so another possible way of learning had to be arranged. The difference between online and face-to-face learning has invited some perceptions and obstacles to the implementation. Thus, this study aimed to describe the parents perception on the benefits and challenges towards the distance learning during the pandemic at school in Aceh, Indonesia. Thisstudy took a case in one junior high school in Banda Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia. There were 25 parents taken purposively as the sample. The study used questionnaire and interview to collect the data. The questionnaire and interview guide consisted of 10 questions posted on Google Form. The results found that the implementation of distance learning has led to the benefits and challenges. A number of challenges faced by parents when assisting their children with distance learning included lack of access to technology. Furthermore, parents had lack of knowledge or skills to assist their children with their homework, especially if the subject matter was unfamiliar. The last challenge was time constraints among the parents, making it difficult to find the time to support their children's distance learning. On the other hand, the Covid-19 pandemic has also brought significant gains toward education. The benefits were to minimize the children to be infected by the Covid-19, to engage relationship between the kids and parents, and to encourage parents to use their creativity and digital literacy in implementing the learning material.

This study is based on the concept of World Englishes (WE). It aims to examine the attitudes and awareness of university students towards different varieties of English. Data was collected from 38 students through a questionnaire, with 10 participants selected for interviews. The mixed method design of concurrent embedded was used to analyze the data, combining qualitative interview data with quantitative questionnaire data for a comprehensive result. The qualitative data from the interview were integrated with the quantitative data from the questionnaire to reinforce the findings. All data collected from the participants were carefully examined and analyzed. The study revealed that students possess a general awareness and positive attitudes towards various forms of English. However, their limited exposure to these varieties hinders their knowledge and understanding of them. This preference reflects the influence of socio-cultural factors on language learning and suggests the need for a more comprehensive approach to English language education that includes exposure to world Englishes.
