Abstract

Abstract Lake Laut MatiTasi Ana is located in Daeurendale Village, Landuleko Sub-District of Rote Ndao Regency East Nusa Tenggara Province. The conditions and characteristics of water habitat of this Lake greatly affect the diversity of existing biota. Insofar, data and information about the diversity of macrozoobenthos and nekton in this lake arestill are not available. This study aims to identify the diversity of macrozoobenthos and nekton that exist in the lake as well as their habitat condition parameters. The samples of data were collected from four predetermined stations of coordinate points (1.Oemasapoka, 2.Olokama, 3.Kaluoen, 4. Lolokaslain) by using cruise method. The study found that in this lake there exist eight species of macrozoobenthos which include Parathelphusaconvexa, Melanoidesturricula, M. tuberculata, M. maculata, Neritaundata, Mytilusedulis, Acar squamosa, Cerastodermaglaucum. Most of those macrozoobenthos belong to Gastropod class. In addition, there are four species of nekton namely Oreochormis niloticus, O. mossambicus, Paracheirodon simulans, Channa sp. All of these nektons are found only in station 1 (Oemasapoka). It is conceivable asthe watersalinity of this station is 30 0/00 and the pH level is 9.29. Such condition allows the existence of the nektons.

Abstract

This study deals with the local names of floras and faunas living in the area of Danau Laut Mati Tasi Ana’ in Landu Sub District of Rote Regency. As language and physical nature are two inseparable entities, this study emphasizes that maintaining a language, to some extent, is equal to maintaining the existence of nature and vice versa. Documenting the names of floras and faunas in Landu Dialect of Rote Language and describing their meaning are two main purposes of this study. The underlying principle of it is to maintain the languge from being endangered. The main question that drives this study is to what semantic domain do the local names of floras and faunas belong to? In order to obtain data a Field observation was conducted. The photos of floras and faunas were taken. A native speaker of Landu dialect of Roti Languge who lives nearby the Lake wa consulted in order to get the local names of the floras and faunas. The data analysis follows the model presented by Suweta (2013). The data show that the floras and faunas living in the area of Danau Laut Mati Tasi Ana’ belong to four semantic domains i.e the domain of food for human being, food for animal, herb, and building material.

Abstract

The study was carried out to identify kinds of repair initiations, i.e. the indication which shows that there is a trouble that has to be repaired, that occur in conversation. The data were taken from an English teacher and the eleventh grade students of a vocational high school. Subjects of the study were an English teacher and 20 students. In obtaining the data, class discussion was about language-learning task has been prepared by the teacher. The device used by the researcher was a handy-camera to record and capture the discussion in classroom discourse. The result of the study showed that the English teacher was able to use several types of repair initiations in the classroom interaction. It involved unspecified repairs, repeats or partial repeats, and request for translation or information. In addition, the students were able to play their roles in the classroom by initiating two types of repair initiations; they are included unspecified repair, and (partial) repeat. Moreover, the frequency of occurrence of repair initiation types done by the teacher was the request for translation or information repair initiation mostly occured on the teacher’s turn, while on the second place the teacher frequently used repeats or partial repeats on his turn. By initiating repairs, the researcher also decided the kinds of repair initiation that frequently occurred on the students’ turn. Unspecified repair was mostly used by the students in the classroom interaction, whereas repeats or partial repeat were less frequently used on the students’ turn.

Abstract

Although research on factors affecting students’ willingness to speak has been extensively carried out, most studies focus more on employing quantitative research methods by identifying the influencing factors through surveys or questionnaires. Moreover, research focusing on this issue within the Indonesian contexts is scarce. Hence, this study employed a narrative inquiry to elicit participants’ lived experiences with in-depth interviews to explore how four EFL students experience and reflect on the factors influencing them to speak in their EFL classes. The findings revealed that there are five internal factors affecting students’ willingness to speak, they are language anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, confidence, motivation, and self-directed learning. Moreover, peer influence, teacher feedback practices, and classroom activities become external factors affecting students’ willingness to speak. And students’ reflect their speaking experiences as identity and recognition, narratives of change from elementary and junior high school to senior high school, and agency.

Abstract

Speaking skills are crucial in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL); however, many Indonesian students face challenges in fluency, vocabulary use, grammatical accuracy, pronunciation, and coherence due to limited exposure to authentic English. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of YouTube videos as a learning medium for improving students’ speaking skills. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) involving twelfth-grade students of the Interior Design major at SMK Negeri 4 Kupang. Conducted in two learning cycles, the instructional procedures involved watching English vlog videos, guided discussion of language expressions, paired speaking practice, and individual oral performance. The study utilized speaking tests consisting of a pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2, as well as classroom observation sheets. Students’ speaking performance was assessed based on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and coherence. The findings revealed consistent improvement across all speaking aspects. Students’ scores increased from 40–78 in the pre-test to 63–84 in post-test 1 and further to 72–92 in post-test 2. Classroom observations also indicated increased student engagement, confidence, and participation during speaking activities. These findings suggest that YouTube videos effectively enhance EFL students’ speaking skills while fostering an interactive and motivating learning environment.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a foundational component of English foreign language (EFL) acquisition, yet students frequently struggle with retention, pronunciation, and contextual application due to conventional, rote-learning methods. This study aimed at investigating the implementation of the Cake Application as a Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) platform to improve the vocabulary mastery of Grade XII Language and Culture (IBB) students at SMAN 9 Kupang, while identifying the pedagogical benefits and operational challenges encountered during the process. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart cyclical model, this study was conducted across two cycles involving 18 participants. Data collection utilized instrument triangulation, integrating quantitative pre-tests and post-tests with qualitative observation sheets, field notes, and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative baseline results from the pre-test indicated low initial lexical proficiency with a class mean score of 43.88, which was below the school's Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 75. Following the integration of Cake's multimedia short videos and interactive drills, the class mean score advanced to 70.00 in Cycle I, though lingering deficits in spelling and context remained. Refined pedagogical scaffolding and focused spelling tasks in Cycle II successfully propelled the final class mean score to 87.22, with all success criteria fully satisfied. Qualitative findings revealed that despite minor infrastructure-related challenges like network instability and ambient noise, students developed independent error-correction habits and high learning autonomy. In conclusion, the integration of the Cake Application effectively bridges lexical gaps, enhances cognitive retention through visual-auditory input, and establishes a highly motivating, self-directed learning environment for EFL learners.

Abstract

Willingness to Communicate (WTC) is an important aspect of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning because it determines students’ readiness to actively use English in classroom interaction. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing EFL university students’ willingness to communicate in English and to examine their perceptions and experiences of communicating in a speaking class. This research employed a qualitative case study design involving second-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Widya Mandira Catholic University Kupang. Data were collected through classroom observation of all students in two intact speaking class (N=50 students; Class A= 25 students and Class B= 25 students) and semi-structured interviews with ten purposively selected students (five students from each class). The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns related to students’ communication behavior, perceptions, and experiences. The findings revealed that students’ willingness to communicate was influenced by two major factors: psychological and situational factors. Psychological factors included self-confidence, anxiety, motivation, and personality, while situational factors included classroom environment, lecturer support, teaching strategies, learning activities, and peer interaction. Students were more willing to speak English when they felt supported, motivated, and emotionally safe in the classroom. However, fear of making mistakes, limited vocabulary, low confidence, and anxiety often reduced their willingness to participate. The study concludes that students’ WTC is dynamic and shaped by the interaction between internal emotions and external classroom conditions. Therefore, lecturers need to create supportive, interactive, and non-judgmental speaking environments to encourage students’ active participation in English communication.
