Abstract

Listening comprehension is essential in the learning process, especially for EFL students. However, the students still tend to have problems in listening comprehension that hinder their learning performance. Additionally, the students in the recent semester are studying from home with different situations and equipment than in the listening class. This research aimed to identify the higher education EFL students' listening comprehension problems and the factor causing them. This research used the qualitative approach. It was found that the students had four major issues in learning to listen. The primary concern is unfamiliar words that the students encountered which slowed the students to think about the meaning of those words and missed the next part of the speech. They are also troubled with their memory because they may easily forget about the word they just listened to in the long-spoken text. The other problem is related to the rate of delivery, where the students are hard to keep up with the speaker if it is too fast. A variety of accents also troubled the students to understand the spoken text because they are not used to another accent than American. The main reason the students have these problems is that their lack of practice outside the listening class makes them lack vocabulary, anxiety, and nervousness while doing the listening task. It makes it hard to think and lose focus—lastly, poor-quality recording and noisy surroundings disturb their listening concentration.

Abstract

It is important to have knowledge of the language to make no mistakes occur in the language. Although previous studies have discussed linguistics and advertising, it is still very rare, and almost very few have discussed the morphology and syntax of hotel billboards in detail. Therefore, to fill this void, this study aimed to examine the morphological and syntactical analysis of advertising billboards used by hotels in Banjar masin. This study used descriptive qualitative research as its methodology. The billboards from various hotels in Banjarmasin served as the study's objects and location. The researcher specifically selected the images from the billboard advertisements that were captured. Then, the data were gathered through making observations and documentation. The findings discovered in the morphology section that numerous hotel advertisements had issues adding suffixes, which were lack of suffix-ly, suffix-s/es for verbs, and suffix-s/es for nouns. Furthermore, the phrase or sentence from the existing hotel billboard has a structural flaw in the syntactic part which is difficult to distinguish with morphology elements. . This study is intended to assist lecturers in the teaching-learning process in terms of morphology and syntax. It is expected that this study would be useful to future researchers conducting pertinent literature.
