Abstract

Attitude revealed as a serious issue in foreign language learning. It is a way for someone to behave on a situation, whether like or dislike, good or bad, and positive or negative. This study investigates the EFL students’ attitude toward English language learning. This study aims to identify the students’ attitude toward English language learning in three aspects; they are behavior, cognitive and affective. A close-ended questionnaire was distributed to 10 students of post-graduate Program of Ahmad Dahlan University. Then, an interview was also conducted with three students as representatives from every aspect of attitude. The results of this qualitative study showed a positive attitude toward English language learning in three aspects; behavioral, cognitive, and affective. Furthermore, the result also showed the influence of attitude toward students’ achievement and motivation in English language learning.

Abstract

This study explores the use of speech-recognition technology to improve English pronunciation among eleventh-grade students at Miftahul Ulum Islamic Senior High School. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis revealed five key findings: (1) improved segmental pronunciation accuracy, (2) increased student motivation and engagement, (3) challenges with accent recognition, (4) limited support for fluency and natural speech, and (5) a need for more personalized feedback. While the technology effectively corrected individual pronunciation errors and boosted learners’ confidence, its limitations in recognizing regional accents and supporting sentence-level fluency suggest the need for a more integrated instructional approach. The study recommends using speech-recognition tools as supplementary aids, combined with communicative activities such as group discussions or role-play. These findings offer important insights into technology-enhanced language learning in the Indonesian EFL context and highlight the need for more adaptive, linguistically inclusive speech-recognition systems.

The recent research aims to discuss EFL students’ anxiety in writing descriptive text. This study used narrative inquiry. A narrative inquiry explore the experiences and feelings of an EFL students’ writing anxiety. The research participants are two students. These two students were taken from 1 Senior high school student and one was taken from Junior high school. Data collection uses semi-structured interview with 45 minutes. The interviews were held at a private Islamic boarding school in Probolinggo East Java. Data Analysis uses thematic Analysis. The results of this study reveal that students' writing anxiety level is still relatively high, therefore, teacher motivation and guidance to students must be increased so that students can deal with or evaluate writing anxiety experienced by students.

Abstract

This study examines how Indonesian netizens employ cyberpragmatic strategies in responding to a viral infidelity confession circulated on TikTok in early 2025. Drawing on a qualitative cyberpragmatic framework, the study analyzes 100 purposively selected user comments to explore how emotional expression, social alignment, and moral judgment are pragmatically negotiated in digitally mediated interaction. The findings show that venting, solidarity, and cyberbullying emerge as three dominant and interconnected strategies. Venting functions as a form of digital catharsis, realized through emotional storytelling, sarcasm, and informal linguistic and multimodal resources that transform private trauma into shared public narratives. Solidarity is enacted through empathetic and advisory responses that foster collective learning and gendered support, while cyberbullying manifests in verbal aggression and victim-blaming that reproduce patriarchal moral judgment. Rather than treating these practices as isolated forms of online behavior, this study argues that venting, solidarity, and cyberbullying operate as interconnected cyberpragmatic strategies shaped by TikTok’s affordances of anonymity, a synchronicity, and multimodality.

Abstract

Morphology, as a core component of linguistics, is often considered abstract and challenging for students in English Education Programs. While digital mind mapping has been widely used in general language skills, its specific application in navigating the complex structural hierarchies of morphology remains under-explored. The crucial point of this investigation lies in the urgent need to bridge the gap between theoretical linguistic rules and students' visual-spatial conceptualization. To address this issue, this study explores students’ reflections on learning morphology through MindMeister. It offers novelty by detailing how digital visualization tools can transform abstract morphological analysis into a more tangible and reflective learning experience in an Indonesian higher education context. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study, the research involved nine third-semester students enrolled in a morphology course. Data were collected through written reflections and interview-based question sheets, then analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed five major themes: (1) cognitive support and conceptual understanding, (2) affective engagement and motivation, (3) learning strategies through visualization, (4) technical and usability challenges, and (5) continued reliance on teacher explanation. Students reported that MindMeister enhanced their ability to differentiate and organize morphological concepts, increased motivation, and supported reflective and self-regulated learning strategies. However, challenges such as technical limitations and the necessity of teacher scaffolding remained evident. The study contributes to technology-enhanced linguistics pedagogy by highlighting the affordances and constraints of digital visualization tools in teaching morphology. Pedagogically, it suggests that digital mind mapping should complement, rather than replace, explicit instruction. This study is among the first to investigate student reflections on the use of digital mind mapping in morphology learning, highlighting its novelty in technology-enhanced linguistics pedagogy.

Abstract

Abstract An analysis on the students’ error in writing recount text. The purpose of this research is to identify and classify the types of errors, and the factors that cause errors. There are two objectives of this study; 1. To find out the types of errors made by students in writing recount texts. 2. To detect the causes of errors made by students. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with case study research design. Researchers used data collection procedures through observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects in this research were the second grade students at MA Sunan Ampel Kamalkuning-Krejengan, which consisted of 32 students in one class. The results of this research indicate that the most frequent errors when making recount texts are grammatical errors, especially in the use of tenses, in recount texts using the simple past tense and they make a lot of errors and are fooled when using verb-2 such as the word “go” which should change to “went”, “visit” to “visited”, “stay” to “stayed”, “meet” to “met” because of the past tense. Some students also made errors in the structure of the recount text series, namely orientation, events, and re-orientation in that section, and students also make errors in writing or producing vocabulary, for example “Friend” becomes “frend”, “Last” becomes “lass”, “Week” becomes “wiik/weak/wit”, “Then” becomes “dhen”. In addition, there are several factors that cause errors made by students, namely carelessness or carelessness, first language disorders, and translation.
