Abstract

To ensure that the learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic runs smoothly, all universities in Indonesia have implemented online learning. However, based on the observations made, online learning, especially when carried out synchronously, appears to still be not as optimal as offline learning. This study aims to find out the voices of Indonesian EFL learners on synchronous learning during the covid-19 pandemic. Designed as descriptive qualitative, this study examined 50 students who voluntarily participated as the sampled group. In collecting the data, the researchers used a self-written reflection and questionnaire with four scales that were distributed using Google Form to the participants. The questionnaire was related to respectful attitude, benefits, and obstacles of synchronous learning. All collected data were then analyzed using the sequential explanatory processes. The result of data analysis revealed that Indonesian EFL learners still showed a good respectful attitude during the synchronous learning process, although they agreed that learning synchronously faces a few obstacles, such as unsupported devices and unfavorable learning environments. In addition, they also feel that the teaching and learning process synchronously during the COVID-19 pandemic provided them with several benefits, especially those related to safety, efficiency, and effectiveness.Keywords: EFL learners; synchronous learning; COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

This study explores the similarities between descriptive texts written by second-semester English education students at Hamzanwadi University and a text generated by ChatGPT in response to the same writing prompt. Using a qualitative descriptive method, seven student texts selected from fifteen submissions and one AI-generated text were analyzed with the IELTS Writing Band Descriptors, focusing on Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. The findings indicate that both texts shared similarities in addressing the task, maintaining coherence, using descriptive vocabulary, and applying varied sentence structures, although the AI-generated text demonstrated greater lexical variety and fewer grammatical errors. These results suggest that AI-generated writing can serve as a supplementary model for students in developing descriptive writing skills, while teacher guidance remains crucial to ensure critical and effective use of AI tools.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the factors contributing to students’ speaking anxiety during English dialog practice in the eighth grade of SMPN 3 Masbagik in the academic year 2025-2026. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, using observation, interviews, and questionnaires as the main instruments of data collection. The findings revealed that students experienced two types of anxiety: state anxiety and trait anxiety. State anxiety appeared in specific classroom situations, particularly when students were asked to perform dialog practice, with symptoms such as trembling hands, shaky voices, forgetting lines, and excessive sweating. Meanwhile, trait anxiety was more consistent and related to limited vocabulary, grammatical inaccuracy, and lack of confidence. The main factors that triggered speaking anxiety included limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, pronunciation difficulties, and fear of negative evaluation. To cope with these challenges, students applied several strategies such as repeated practice, relaxation techniques, positive self-talk, preparing vocabulary/grammar, and seeking peer support. The study concludes that students’ speaking anxiety is a multidimensional issue influenced by both linguistic and psychological factors, requiring efforts from both teachers and students to foster a more supportive learning environment.

Abstract

This study examines the correlation between students’ responses to English teachers’ instructional methods and their motivation to learn English. Recognizing the significance of motivation in language teaching, the study aims to explore how different teaching methods impact both student engagement and intrinsic motivation. Using a quantitative correlational research design, data were collected from 33 eighth-grade students at MTs Muallimat NWDI Pancor in the 2024-2025 academic year. The analysis reveals a strong positive correlation between students’ responses to teaching methods and their learning motivation (r = 0.642, p < 0.01) as well as between teaching methods and student motivation (r = 0.701, p < 0.01). These findings suggest that teaching methods significantly influence both student engagement and motivation; efficient, student-centered methods lead to greater student involvement in the learning process and higher motivation levels. The study recommends that schools prioritize continuous professional development for teachers, focusing on effective, motivational teaching strategies. This would foster an engaging, supportive learning environment, enhancing students’ ability to succeed in language learning. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the interaction between pedagogy and student psychology, providing valuable insight for both educational practitioners and policymakers.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out types of learning strategies applied by students of English education study program at Hamzanwadi University. The subjects of research taken were 75 students of the first semester who took basic English grammar course. Descriptive quantitative was used to obtain and analyze data. The research result showed that the most dominant learning strategy in studying grammar was metacognitive (20, 93%), followed by cognitive (18, 49%), social (17, 83%), affective (16, 48%), memory (15, 97%) and the least applied by the students was compensation (10, 25%). Furthermore, the reason why the students tend to apply metacognitive strategy in learning grammar because it enables them to pay attention on a particular grammar pattern, try to understand and relate it to the previous materials which have been familiar to the students’ minds. Thus, it is implied to the teachers to understand the types of learning strategies then guide the students during their study for a better learning outcome.
