The change of the status of the National Exam (NE) from high-stakes testing to low-stakes testing inspired the researchers to explore its effects on the teaching and learning of English. This qualitative exploratory study tried to investigate how English teachers taught their students to prepare NE at senior high schools in two different functions by involving six English teachers from three schools varying in the quality in terms of the schools' demography, academic achievement, and facilities. The study was also strengthened by a set of secondary data from the results of the NE in 2015. The result of study involving the six teachers shows that the higher the quality of the schools the less they are affected by the change of the functions of the NE. The result of the analysis involving the secondary data shows that in spite of the change of its function, the NE tends to remain a high-stakes testing.Keywords: High-Stake Testing, Low-Stake Testing, National Exam, English UJIAN NASIONAL DI INDONESIA DAN IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRISAbstrakPerubahan fungsi Ujian Nasional (UN) dari "high-stakes testing" menjadi "low-stakes testing" mendorong penulis untuk melakukan penelitian eksploratif terhadap persamaan dan perbedaan UN dalam fungsinya yang berbeda dengan mengkaji dampaknya pada proses belajar-mengajar mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Penulis mengkaji bagaimana para guru mengajar Bahasa Inggris dalam mempersiapkan para siswa menghadapi UN sebelum dan setelah ada perubahan kebijakan. Penelitian eksploratif ini dilaksanakan dengan mewawancarai enam guru bahasa Inggris dari tiga sekolah yang mutunya berbeda-beda. Wawancara terhadap para guru dilakukan menjelang pelaksanaan UN 2015. Penelitian ini dilengkapi dengan data sekunder berupa hasil UN 2015 yang memperkuat temuan penelitian. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sekolah yang mutunya lebih rendah cenderung lebih banyak terpengaruh oleh perubahan status UN daripada sekolah yang mutunya lebih tinggi dalam hal mempersiapkan para siswanya menghadapi UN. Hasil analisis data sekunder, rendahnya aspek kejujuran dalam UN, menunjukkan UN masih dianggap sebagai "high-stakes testing".Kata kunci: tes beresiko tinggi, tes beresiko rendah, ujian nasional, bahasa inggris

This study examines the implementation of the Ummi method in learning Al-Qur’an at Al-Ihsan Mosque, Malang, and its role in community empowerment. The Ummi method, known for its structured and systematic approach, enhances reading accuracy and comprehension of Tajwid among the congregation. The findings reveal that the application of this method has significantly improved participants' Quranic reading skills through direct instruction, repetition, and affectionate teaching. Furthermore, Al-Ihsan Mosque has played a vital role in empowering the underprivileged through the effective management of infaq funds, scholarship programs, and basic needs assistance. However, challenges such as limited teaching space and the need for professional human resource management hinder the effectiveness of these initiatives. To optimize the impact, it is recommended to increase learning facilities, strengthen community collaborations, and establish objective assessment tools for aid distribution. Strengthening youth involvement and professional fund management will further enhance the sustainability of these programs, ensuring that community empowerment efforts are both impactful and equitable.

This qualitative case study aimed to explore fillers usage to address speaking challenges related to the improvement of self-confidence and motivation in speaking practices done by two English foreign language (EFL) learners of the English department of one of the Islamic Universities in Malang, Indonesia. Data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews to two students employing filler strategies to address speaking challenges related to the improvement of self-confidence and motivation during their speaking exercises. The research revealed that both learners used fillers to address speaking challenges during the conversation due to their linguistic components’ shortage such as a limited mastery of vocabularies and having a little understanding on grammar. Fillers might bring them to have more self-confidence in speaking practices shown by not being afraid of making mistakes when they practice speaking with their speaking partners. Fillers might bring them to have more motivation in speaking shown by their enthusiasm to get involved in the discussion whether in group or class discussions. Thus, fillers usage is prominent due to its potential to address speaking challenges, enhance self-confidence and motivation, eventually contributing to an overall improvement in language proficiency particularly in speaking skill.

This study examines the use of directive and expressive speech acts within the digital communication context of the mobile game King’s Choice, with a particular focus on how players interact across alliance, team, and kingdom chats. The investigation is theoretically grounded in Searle’s (1969) speech act theory-specifically his taxonomy of directive and expressive illocutionary acts-and Yus’s (2001, 2011) framework of cyberpragmatics, which provides analytical tools for understanding how online communication is shaped by multimodality and platform-specific affordances. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology, the study analyzes 38 excerpts extracted from naturalistic in-game chat logs. The analysis reveals that directive speech acts manifest in various forms, including requests, commands, suggestions, advice, warnings, and prohibitions. Pragmatically, these directives serve to coordinate collective strategies, delegate in-game responsibilities, and maintain group cohesion during competitive events. Expressive speech acts are identified as apologies, compliments, expressions of joy, disappointment, regret, anger, and hope. These expressives function centrally in managing emotional states and negotiating interpersonal relationships within the game’s socially competitive environment. Notably, both speech act categories are frequently mediated by multimodal elements-such as emojis and stickers-which modulate illocutionary force and convey paralinguistic cues otherwise absent in text-based chat. This study extends extant research on platform-mediated communication by demonstrating how directive and expressive speech acts simultaneously fulfil strategic coordination and social bonding functions. In doing so, it highlights the interplay between linguistic pragmatics, multimodal affordances, and digitally situated interaction in contemporary gaming contexts.

The current study examines speech disfluency features associated with the Tip-of-the-Tongue (TOT) state in spontaneous conversation from “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”. It integrates Lickley’s (2015) disfluency marker framework, Willem Levelt’s (1989) theory of speech production, and a metacognitive approach (Schwartz & Metcalfe, 2011) to identify disfluency features and explain the cognitive processes underlying difficulties in lexical access. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data source is 20 cases of spontaneous speech transcription taken from 5 YouTube videos. The results reveal four main features of disfluency: hesitation, filled pause, self-repair and repetition. For cognitive classification, Non-TOT cases were much more frequent (17 cases) than Moderate TOT (2 cases) and Strong TOT (1 case). In addition, the study shows that the failure to retrieve a lexical item is modulated by the interaction of two metacognitive functions: monitoring (to detect memory blocks) and control (to enact compensatory strategies). These findings highlight that disfluencies are not merely the result of lexical memory failure, rather they serve adaptive functions such as speech planning strategies, maintaining the conversational floor and demonstrating active metacognitive regulation during spontaneous conversation.
