Abstract

Abstract The phenomenon that the students of English Department, at Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika were not active to speak outside the class using English as their target language triggered this research to be conducted. They tend to go back to their first language (Bahasa Indonesia) as they are outside the classroom while motivation can be seen as the successful aspect when learning a target language deals with speak the language (speaking skill) (Ihsan, 2016:32). This research deals with 10 factors affecting learners in learning the target language (Pasty and Nina: 2006) in which this aims at finding the percentage of the factors affecting the learners’ speaking. By means of applying questionnaire and interview to 15 subjects of the research it was found that all ten factors were found as the factors affecting the students’ speaking. The result shows that motivation is the most influencing factor with the highest percentage among the other factors (57%). This means that the students are actually having high motivation to speak English not only during the class, but also after the class, but it cannot be neglected that the other 9 factors (age, aptitude, personality, attitude, cognitive style, learning style, intelligent, anxiety, and group affiliation) are also affecting the learners’ speaking. Moreover, the result shows that the 10 factors cannot be separated affecting the learners, but they are well interrelated. Thus, it can be concluded that motivation takes the position as the most influencing factor affecting students’ speaking outside the classroom as this factor is also well supported by the other nine (9) factors.

Abstract

This study seeks to enhance elementary school students' appreciation of Sasak cultural heritage in Central Lombok, an area increasingly influenced by tourism and exposure to foreign cultures. Recognizing a need to prioritize local cultural education, this research introduces illuminated stories, created with the input of five English teachers who contributed traditional stories and games from their childhood. Using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach, 20 students engaged with these stories, and their progress was assessed using a validated tool that measured both cultural knowledge and language proficiency. Preliminary results demonstrate improvements in students’ engagement, cultural understanding, and language skills, highlighting the effectiveness of combining cultural education with PBL. These findings encourage further research with larger and more varied student groups to build on these promising outcomes.

Abstract

The widespread adoption of English in Indonesia has raised concerns about its impact on local language sustainability, especially in multilingual, postcolonial regions such as East Nusa Tenggara. This study investigates how English learning can coexist with local language preservation by addressing three key issues: (1) students’ attitudes toward English and local languages, (2) the use of these languages across different domains, and (3) strategies proposed for promoting linguistic coexistence. Nineteen sixth-semester English Education students from Citra Bangsa University were selected as participants, given their future roles as language educators and policy influencers. Using a qualitative approach that included semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys, the study found a dual but sometimes conflicting orientation. The results show that participants acknowledged the instrumental value of English for education and career advancement (89%) while affirming the cultural importance of local languages (95%). In terms of usage, local languages remained dominant in-home domains (65%) but were marginalized in academic settings (5%) and peer interactions (21%), revealing a domain-specific pattern shaped by perceived language utility. To bridge this gap, participants suggested strategies such as bilingual education models (74%), community-driven language initiatives (63%), and culturally inclusive curricula. However, 47% expressed skepticism toward government-led solutions, citing lack of relevance and implementation barriers. The findings indicate that sustainable multilingualism is possible through intentional, context-sensitive strategies. The study recommends reorienting teacher education to support multilingual pedagogies, integrating local knowledge, and fostering collaboration between grassroots efforts and institutional frameworks to ensure balanced language ecologies.
