Abstract

This paper analyzes grammatical problems that the Economic and Business Faculty's seventh-semester students run across. By using a descriptive qualitative methodology, the study concentrates on abstract texts taken from eight articles that are part of the JUMAD journal, a well-known publication among the faculty members of economics and business. By careful analysis, typical grammatical problems seen in these abstracts are found and examined. The results illuminated a number of linguistic flaws, including misspellings, inconsistent verb tenses, repetition, ambiguity, and poor word choice. For students, these grammatical problems are major obstacles to both academic writing proficiency and effective communication. Although verb tense irregularities throw off the flow of ideas, spelling mistakes diminish the professionalism and credibility of the texts. Readers find the material hard to understand because of repetitions and unclear meanings. Furthermore, poor word selections can cause confusion and information misinterpretation. In general, knowing the linguistic difficulties students encounter in academic writing situations depends on the recognition and examination of these grammatical issues.

Abstract

With language attitudes as a mediating factor, this study looks at how learning motivation affects the English language proficiency of non-English major students at Panca Marga University. Data were gathered by means of structured questionnaires and examined using Smart PLS from a sample of one hundred students from the Faculty of Economics and Business chosen by accident sampling. The results show that language attitudes and English proficiency are much improved by learning motivation, defined by interest levels, learning goals, and effort. Interest levels refer to the students' genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for learning English, learning goals are the specific objectives they set for themselves in mastering the language, and effort reflects the amount of time and energy they dedicate to their studies to achieve proficiency. Moreover, good language attitudes—that is, favorable impressions, curiosity, and appreciation of English's usefulness—directly increase speaking, listening, reading, and writing ability. Especially, language attitudes show their cooperative influence on language acquisition and help to moderate the relationship between motivation and proficiency. These findings highlight the need of encouraging drive and developing good attitudes to enable good English proficiency. This study helps to create focused plans for raising language proficiency in non-English academic environments.
