Abstract

This study investigated student perceptions of teaching effectiveness in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course using a mixed methods approach. The research involved 65 first-semester undergraduate students from seven academic disciplines at a private University in Indonesia. Data were collected through an end-of-semester evaluation form consisting of Likert-scale items and open-ended questions. Quantitative findings indicated that students perceived the course as most effective in enhancing their reading and vocabulary skills. Other language areas—speaking, writing, listening, and grammar—also received favorable ratings, although with more variability. Thematic analysis of qualitative responses revealed that students attributed their progress to specific instructional strategies such as text-based reading tasks, vocabulary drills, and interactive speaking activities. They also highlighted grammar instruction as helpful for improving sentence construction and clarity. Suggestions for improvement included increased integration of technology, hybrid learning modes, and more personalized support. Overall, the study demonstrated that student evaluations can serve as assessment tools and reflective instruments to inform and enhance teaching practice. The study offered a nuanced perspective on how ESP instructional strategies influenced student learning by combining numerical and narrative data. These findings support using student feedback as a dynamic resource for pedagogical development.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies used by English teachers to reduce students’ anxiety when speaking English in the classroom. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers and students at a junior high school. The findings reveal that students' speaking anxiety often stems from limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and low self-confidence. To address these challenges, teachers implemented various strategies, including role-play activities, the use of dictionaries and digital pronunciation tools, interactive games, and emotional support through motivational feedback. These approaches helped create a supportive and engaging learning environment, encouraging students to participate more actively and confidently in speaking tasks. By tailoring instructional strategies to students’ needs and classroom conditions, teachers were able to foster a more positive attitude toward learning English. This study highlights the crucial role of effective teaching practices in mitigating language learning anxiety and offers practical insights for improving English-speaking skills among junior high school learners.

Abstract

This exploratory qualitative study examines how Instagram Reels content influences English learners' motivation and perceived speaking skill development in British accent acquisition. Conducted between November and December 2023, the research involved semi-structured interviews with two Indonesian followers of Zelina Fahrani, a content creator with over one million followers specializing in British accent pronunciation videos. Data were collected through online interviews via Instagram and WhatsApp, supplemented by systematic observation of Reels content and engagement metrics. Thematic analysis revealed six key themes: digital content as motivational catalyst, spontaneous imitative practice behavior, thematic relevance and personal interest alignment, aesthetic appeal of British accents, enhanced self-efficacy and speaking confidence, and expanded metalinguistic awareness. Both participants reported heightened learning enthusiasm, particularly due to culturally relevant content themes such as Harry Potter references, increased practice frequency, greater confidence in English speaking, and improved awareness of accent variations. However, all findings were self-reported without objective verification, and the small sample size significantly limits generalizability. This preliminary investigation suggests that engaging, theme-based short-form video content on social media platforms may serve as supplementary motivational tools for informal accent learning, warranting further research with larger samples, diverse participant demographics, and objective assessment measures to validate these exploratory findings.

Abstract

This study investigates the common errors made by students when using the simple present tense in writing descriptive texts. The aim of the study is to identify the specific types of errors that occur and to explore the factors contributing to these mistakes. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative method to gather data, employing a written test as the data collection tool. To categorize the errors, a surface strategy taxonomy is utilized, which includes four categories: omission, addition, misformation, and misorder. By analyzing the collected data, a total of 214 errors were identified, with 95 instances of omission errors, 22 addition errors, 75 formation errors, and 22 ordering errors. The findings highlight that the most prevalent type of error made by students is omission, while misformation, misorder, and addition errors are relatively less frequent. In addition to error analysis, the study explores the reasons underlying these errors, particularly focusing on interlingual and intralingual transfer. Interlingual transfer refers to the influence of a student's first language on their second language usage, while intralingual transfer refers to the influence of existing knowledge and patterns within the second language itself. These factors contribute to the occurrence of errors in the simple present tense usage within descriptive texts.

Abstract

This study explores the perspectives of Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang (UNIMEN) students on cross-cultural adaptation during their international internship in Thailand. Community service programs, which are mandatory for Indonesian tertiary students, offer practical experiences that bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application. This research focuses on the challenges and adaptation strategies employed by students participating in teaching practices at private Thai schools. Using a qualitative methodology and thematic analysis, data were collected through interviews with eight fifth-semester students majoring in English Language Education. The findings identify eight key challenges: administrative issues, health problems, psychological stress, social integration difficulties, teaching challenges, culture shock, language barriers, and inadequate facilities. Cultural barriers, such as differences in the education system and social norms, led to experiences of homesickness and stress. Language difficulties were particularly pronounced due to limited Thai and English proficiency among locals. To address these challenges, students adopted several strategies, including seeking social support, engaging in cultural learning, using sign language, and fostering communication with locals. These strategies helped alleviate culture shock, improve cross-cultural understanding, and enhance teaching effectiveness. The study underscores the importance of adequate preparation, including cultural learning modules, and provides valuable insights for universities to better support future participants in international community service programs.
