The objective of this research was to find out the result of the pronunciation skills of students in Junior High School before and after being given treatment using the tongue twister technique through the Twistify application. The populations in this research were students of class VIII SMP Negeri 1 Tayu, Pati, Central Java, Indonesia. The sample consisted of 34 students from class VIII B. The researcher used pre-experimental and implemented one group pre-test and post-test design. Based on the results, there was an increase in students’ pronunciation skills from the pre-test with a mean score of 58.35 to the post-test with a mean score of 80 and an increase from the pre-test to the post-test by 37.10%. From the data calculation, the researcher found that the t-test result was 46.442, and the value of df (degree of freedom) was 33. The t-table value was obtained from df = 33 so that t-table = 2.035, so (t0 > tt), 46.442 > 2.035. The Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, and the Null Hypothesis (H0) was rejected. Thus, there was a significant difference between students’ pronunciation skills before and after being given treatment using the tongue twister technique through the Twistify application.

Teaching practicum is a component of teacher education programs that provides pre-service teachers (PST) with practical classroom experience. This study investigated the teaching strategies and challenges of Indonesian student teachers during practicum in Thai schools. The study involved 27 participants from 4 universities in Central Java who participated in a one-month internship program. Using qualitative methods, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and interviews. All 27 participants agreed to complete open-ended questionnaires regarding the challenges experienced during the teaching practicum. From the results of the questionnaire, only 4 participants agreed to be interviewed further regarding teaching strategies. The results obtained from filling out the questionnaire about the challenges showed that 89% experienced language barriers, 8% were constrained in learning media, and 4% had difficulty finding halal food. On the other hand, the results obtained from interviews show that PST apply teaching strategies using digital media, printed media, and ice-breaking. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the use of strategies in teaching must be appropriate and can make students understand the material presented by PST due to the limited language and media.Keywords: pre-service teachers; teachers’ strategies; challenges; teaching practicum.

This study examines the translation techniques used in the Indonesian subtitles of Cruella (2021) by applying Molina and Albir’s (2002) framework and House’s (2015) Translation Quality Assessment (TQA). The objectives are to identify the techniques, determine the dominant one, and analyze its impact on meaning, tone, and character portrayal. Using a descriptive qualitative method, a total of 150 data were analyzed, revealing seven techniques: Literal Translation (46.67%), Modulation (36.00%), Transposition (7.33%), Reduction (7.33%), Adaptation (6.00%), Amplification (4.00%), and Equivalence (0.67%), with Literal Translation as the most dominant. The TQA results show that while literal translation successfully maintains ideational meaning, it often causes shifts in interpersonal function (tone and emotional nuance) and affects textual function, particularly humor and stylistic portrayal. These findings highlight both the strength and limitation of literal translation in balancing semantic accuracy with stylistic and cultural nuances in film subtitling.

Meaning extends beyond the literal form of language since it is a dynamic system. Defixis is a remarkable pragmatic phenomenon in language usage; it refers to a collection of statements whose meaning is contingent upon characteristics including speaker, place, time, discourse, and social context. Everyday speech, literary works, and creative expressions (such as song lyrics) all include deixis. Songs are great resources for linguistic analysis and language acquisition because they provide rich contextual references, which are a result of the language's genuine usage. There is a dearth of literature on pragmatics in literary and media texts, although there is some study on deixis in song lyrics, especially as it pertains to ELT. The purpose of this research is to dissect the album Being Funny in a Foreign Language for its deixis and the pragmatic roles they play in certain tracks. Based on Levinson's (1983) theory, this research used a qualitative content analysis methodological approach to classify deixis as follows: personal, temporal, geographical, discourse, and social. Five songs were chosen at random using a purposive sample strategy to gather data for the investigation. As a source of information, documentation procedures were used to gather the official lyrics of the five songs. In addition, the data were evaluated by classifying different kinds of deixis and then determining how often each kind occurred. Out of a total of 482 deixis expressions, 455 were found to be personal (94.40%), 2 to be spatial (0.41%), 7 to be temporal (1.45%), 17 to be discourse (3.53%), and 1 to be social (0.21%), according to the findings. The study revealed that personal deixis was the most common form of deixis, with discourse, time, location, and social deixis following closely behind. Each of these types added to the rich contextual meaning found in the song lyrics. This discovery suggests that students' comprehension of pragmatic studies, particularly as it pertains to deixis, might be enhanced by using song lyrics as realistic teaching resources.

Vocabulary mastery plays a crucial role in successful language acquisition, and blended learning approaches have increasingly been adopted to enhance lexical development in higher education. However, existing studies have predominantly focused on general blended learning designs without fully exploring the specific contribution of the Enriched Virtual Model (EVM) in strengthening different dimensions of lexical competence. Moreover, limited research has examined how diverse learning preferences, such as those identified through the VARK framework, influence students’ engagement and vocabulary development within EVM-based instruction. Addressing these gaps, this study investigates the effectiveness of EVM in improving students’ lexical competence and examines how different learning styles contribute to learners’ engagement and vocabulary growth. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative data from pre- and post-tests with qualitative insights obtained from reflections, observations, and open-ended responses. Participants were undergraduate students enrolled in a Lexical Studies course, who engaged in a combination of multimodal online modules and targeted face-to-face sessions throughout the intervention. Quantitative findings revealed substantial gains across all dimensions of lexical competence—vocabulary breadth, depth, collocational knowledge, and contextual use—with contextual vocabulary demonstrating the highest improvement. Differences were also observed across learning-style groups, with Visual and Read/Write learners showing the greatest lexical gains, while Auditory and Kinesthetic learners benefited most from modality-congruent strategies. Qualitative findings further indicated that EVM supported learner autonomy, enhanced multimodal engagement, and strengthened vocabulary retention through structured online learning and collaborative face-to-face consolidation. Overall, the results demonstrate that EVM provides an effective, flexible, and learner-responsive framework for vocabulary instruction in blended learning environments.
