Abstract

In today’s digital era, emojis are widely used in online communication, yet their role remains debated. whether only as decorative symbols or as linguistic elements that convey meaning and shape interpretation. This study investigates college students’ perceptions, usage, and syntactic patterns of emojis in WhatsApp messages Using a descriptive qualitative method with questionnaires, interviews, and digital material from college students in fourth-semester of English Education students at Universitas Nias, the study finds that college students view emojis as meaningful linguistic elements rather than mere decorations. Emojis are used to supplement, replace, or reverse textual meaning, and syntactic analysis identifies four patterns of emojis with sentence: post-text, co-text, pre-text, and pro-text, demonstrating their influence on sentence structure and interpretation The results contribute to understanding emojis as part of linguistic and digital discourse and highlight their relevance to digital literacy and language education.

Abstract

English reading skills are essential for academic success, fostering comprehension, critical thinking, and motivation. Engaging reading materials, particularly those reflecting cultural relevance, like Nias local wisdom, enhance intrinsic motivation and learning achievement. This research uses a mixed-methods approach to assess textbook content with Nias-based texts to assess their motivational impact. Using a Sequential Explanatory Design, the study combines quantitative and qualitative methods for comprehensive insights. Quantitative tests measure reading comprehension and motivation, while qualitative interviews explore students' perceptions. Data integration ensures robust findings, guiding effective educational practices at SMA Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli. The research analyzed texts from the BAHASA INGGRIS textbook ("Little Red Riding Hood") and Nias local wisdom ("Warrior of Sun Hill"). Students scored higher on the Nias text (mean 83.1 vs. 81.9), indicating greater engagement. Interviews with the Nias text revealed stronger intrinsic motivation, such as curiosity, involvement, and challenge. Extrinsic factors, like grades and compliance, were less influential but still relevant. A readability analysis showed "Little Red Riding Hood" as more straightforward, making it suitable for younger readers. The study highlights that culturally relevant texts, like Nias wisdom-based materials, significantly boost students' motivation, engagement, and academic performance, underscoring the importance of incorporating intrinsic motivators into English reading curricula.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the basic skills in learnng English that enables students to convey ideas and communicate effectively. However, many students still face difficulties in speaking due to various factors, such as lack of vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and lack of confidence. This research aims to analyze students' perceptions and the factors affecting their difficulties in speaking English. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The research was conducted at the eighth grade of SMP Swasta Kristen BNKP Gunungsitoli with 18 students as participants. The findings revealed that students experienced various difficulties in speaking English, which were categorized into psychological problems (such as fear of making mistakes, shyness, anxiety, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, lack of pronounciation, and lack of vocabulary), language problems (including inhibition, nothing to say, low and uneven participation and the tendency to use mother tongue), and other influencing factors (such as physical condition, intelligence, aptitude, and interest). Most students showed lack of confidence and anxiety when speaking English, which led to limited participation during English class. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for teachers to develop more effective and student-centered teaching strategies, and to create a supportive learning environment that encourages students to speak actively in English.
