Abstract

Listening is a fundamental skill that learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) must master. Without adequate listening proficiency, students are likely to experience frequent misunderstandings and rely on uncertain assumptions. However, developing effective listening skills often poses challenges for EFL learners due to various factors. This study aims to explore and describe students’ perceptions of listening strategies in the classroom. Employing a qualitative design, the research involved English Education students from Gorontalo State University, class of 2021, who achieved the highest scores in listening courses. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and provide an interpretive account of the phenomena. The findings highlight the effectiveness of note-taking as a means of organizing information and the benefits of the pause-and-repeat strategy in clarifying comprehension. The study concludes that the implementation of listening strategies in classroom contexts is highly effective, as teachers’ use of both bottom-up and top-down processing facilitates students’ understanding of course materials through diverse cognitive processes. The study recommends that educators apply these strategies to enhance listening instruction, while future researchers are encouraged to further investigate their application in broader contexts.

Abstract

This article examines the impact of social media on the shift in Gorontalo language usage among the younger generation, focusing on content analysis from TikTok and Instagram. Using a critical sociolinguistic approach, the study maps language patterns, identifies algorithmic and socio-cultural factors, and formulates policy recommendations. Results reveal that 85% of TikTok content tagged #Gorontalo is dominated by Indonesian, while Gorontalo appears in only 8% of content, often limited to symbolic phrases. Key drivers of the shift include the prestige of national/global languages, the scarcity of creative content in the local language, and non-proactive educational policies. However, social media also offers revitalization opportunities through initiatives such as the #AkuCintaBahasaGorontalo campaign, collaborations with digital artists, and the development of the Lonto Bahasa app. The article recommends integrating local content into platform algorithms, establishing digital language laboratories, and revising binding educational regulations. These findings underscore the necessity of multi-stakeholder collaboration to sustain Gorontalo as a living identity in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms and strategies of verbal bullying that affect the speaking performance of students at SMA N 2 Tilamuta. The method employed is a qualitative approach, utilizing case studies that involve observation, interviews, and document analysis. Data were collected from nine students who experienced verbal bullying. The findings indicate that verbal bullying takes the form of name-calling and hurtful comments about English proficiency. The impact of this bullying included increased anxiety and decreased motivation to learn, which hindered students' ability to speak English. Students employed various strategies to cope with bullying, including focusing on self-development, disregarding negative comments, and seeking social support from friends and teachers. The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of creating a safe and supportive learning environment to enhance students' speaking skills and mitigate verbal bullying. This research provides significant insights for educators and policymakers to develop effective interventions in linguistically diverse educational contexts.
