The research reported in this paper centered on the issue of derivational morphemes analysis which uses narrative texts as the object of the study. Out of 15, 6 narrative texts were chosen from EFL Textbook of Senior High School ‘Developing English Competencies’. Afterwards, the writer set two research questions: to investigate the kinds and the dominant affixes of derivational morphemes which are mostly used on Narrative Texts in EFL Textbook. This study employed qualitative strategies by using content analysis as the instrument of gained data. The results for the first question asserted that among three kinds such as prefix, infix and prefix, there were only two kinds derivational morpheme founded on narrative texts in EFL Textbook, both of these derivational morphemes were prefix and suffix. Besides, the infix was not founded on the whole of the texts. Moreover, the results for the second research question revealed that the dominant affixes mostly used on narrative texts in EFL textbooks was the suffix. Finally, it is expected that on narrative texts, suffix was the important rule to compose the text intact. Moreover, the other affixes such prefix and infix were lower than suffix on the whole of the texts. For instance, ‘ly’ and ‘ed’ as affixes that was added and used on narrative text in EFL textbook that was analyzed. In the meantime, in every texts that have been analyzed, most of the affixes, both prefix and suffix changed the part of speech of the root when changed to the new word. It is suggested for further researchers to conduct the research on by using the other texts by covering derivational and inflectional morphemes.

Vocabulary development is a crucial component of language learning, particularly for adolescent learners in EFL contexts. In practice, however, many teachers in Majalengka continue to rely on conventional methods that offer limited contextualization for vocabulary instruction. To address this issue, engaging media such as digital comics can be used to motivate students and promote active learning. This study investigates how seventh-grade students acquire new vocabulary through the use of digital comics, focusing specifically on the GlobalComix platform, which remains underexplored in previous research. This study employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through non-participant observations that documented the learning activities of 34 seventh-grade students at a public junior high school in Majalengka. An observation checklist served as the primary research instrument, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that GlobalComix supports students’ vocabulary development by providing contextualized input through the combination of text and visual elements. Students demonstrated enthusiasm, active participation, and improved comprehension during the learning process. Overall, GlobalComix offers an enjoyable and effective learning experience that enhances vocabulary understanding and fosters greater engagement in English language lessons. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of digital comics across different educational levels and contexts, as well as to compare their effectiveness with other forms of visual media.

Speaking is one of the most crucial skills in English language learning; and interactive speaking is challenging for students, especially those in boarding schools with limited exposure. Although previous studies have examined students' perceptions, there has been little research conducted on teachers' perspectives. This study aims to explore an EFL teacher's perspective on the implementation and impact of the English Week program on students' interactive speaking performance and to identify the challenges they faced during the program. The researcher employed a qualitative case study approach, utilizing a snowball sampling technique, followed by non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews with an EFL teacher at an Islamic boarding school in Tasikmalaya. The results showed that the program successfully stimulated students' interactive speaking skills by combining formal and informal activities. The teacher employed scaffolding strategies and served as a facilitator and motivator. As a result of this research, students demonstrated increased confidence and improved interaction skills. However, there were other challenges, including a limited vocabulary, fluctuating motivation, and inadequate facilities. Based on this research, the English Week program has a positive impact on students' interactive speaking skills through creative and varied learning strategies, structured management, and a supportive learning environment. Understanding the teacher's perspective confirms the importance of institutional support and continuous program development. Future research is suggested to dig out the students’ perceptions on this related topic with a large sample to obtain a broad insight.

Reading strategies are crucial for EFL students to comprehend texts, both in print and digital formats. The rapid development of digital media has influenced students' reading habits and skills. Previous research has primarily focused on reading preferences and comprehension between print and digital texts, but few have highlighted the strategies students use and the challenges they face across both media. This study aims to explore the strategies employed by first-year EFL students in reading print and digital texts, as well as the difficulties they encounter. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. First-year students from the English Language Education Study Program at Galuh University participated. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using thematic and content analysis. Students used strategies such as skimming, scanning, highlighting, note-taking, and rereading across both printed and digital texts, though their application varied depending on the medium. For digital texts, additional strategies such as screen adjustment and the use of online translation tools were also identified. Challenges include notification distractions, eye fatigue when reading digitally, and difficulty finding information quickly in print texts. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive reading strategies for improving students' digital comprehension and literacy and provide input for educators to develop more effective teaching practices.

Vocabulary mastery is a crucial aspect of language learning, but it poses a challenge for vocational high school (SMK) students due to limited learning media. Previous studies have mostly used non-animated films as learning media, while animated films are still rarely explored. This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of using animated films as a vocabulary learning medium. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, involving 20 participants from Grade X at SMK Al-Huda Turalak. Data collection techniques include observation and semi-structured interviews. The results of the study indicate that animated films can increase students' interest, engagement, and confidence in learning and using new vocabulary directly. Students can understand and remember new vocabulary through animated films, which are visual and contextual in nature and have proven to be effective. Therefore, animated films can be an attractive and effective alternative learning medium in the context of vocational schools.
