Abstract

Code switching is an intriguing phenomenon to investigate because it is a part of the development process and the use of multiple languages (bilingual). In the world of education, both at the middle and upper levels, the use of code switching can be done by teachers or students in the classroom. This research was conducted to find out the factors causing teachers to do code switching in the classroom. The research method applied in this study was qualitative research in the form of a case study. The writers selected the participants for this research by using a convenience sampling technique. There were two teachers of English at SMA Negeri 15 Palembang, and those teachers were selected as the participants to collect the data. In collecting data, the writers used interviews through open-ended questions. Then, the writers analyzed the data obtained from the interview using a theme code system in the form of table codes, synchronizing the data with the aspects and items that prevailed in the interview protocol. The result of this research based on the interviews showed that there are two factors causing teachers to do code switching. Two factors are linguistics and non-linguistics. Language linguistics factors are divided into language stagnation and a lack of students’ knowledge of vocabulary. Furthermore, non-linguistical factors are divided into the emotional condition of the teacher and the condition of the class situation. Keywords: Code Switching; Actors of Code Switching; Linguistics; Non-Linguistics.

Abstract

Many senior high school students struggle with initiating and organizing their ideas, applying grammar accurately, and maintaining cohesion in their writing. Mind mapping is a visual technique that enables students to brainstorm ideas, establish connections, and structure content in a non-linear format. This study investigated the effect of using mind mapping on the writing ability of tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 14 Palembang. The study used a quantitative method comparing a group taught using mind mapping (the experimental group, 34 students) and a group taught in the usual way (the control group, with 34 students) before and after the treatment. The students’ writing ability was measured with a writing test before and after the treatment. Because the test results were not normally distributed, nonparametric statistical tests were used to analyze the data. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed that the writing ability of the experimental group improved significantly after using mind mapping. Furthermore, the Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference in writing test scores between the experimental and control groups after treatment, with the experimental group scoring better. The findings of this research indicated that using mind mapping greatly helped to improve the tenth-grade students’ writing ability in recount text. This study suggests that teachers could use mind mapping as a way to enhance students’ writing skills.

Abstract

Listening is a fundamental skill in EFL learning, yet many students face difficulties and show limited awareness of effective listening strategies.  This study aimed to investigate the role of listening strategy use in predicting proficiency among tenth-grade EFL learners. This study employed a correlational quantitative design with 74 tenth-grade students using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire to measure metacognitive, cognitive, and socio-affective strategies and a standardized TOEFL Junior listening test to assess listening proficiency. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation, and regression analysis. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between the use of listening strategies and listening proficiency. However, the predictive power was relatively low, indicating that listening strategies contributed modestly to students’ listening performance. Among the strategy types, socio-affective strategies were used most frequently, while cognitive and metacognitive strategies were used at moderate levels. These findings suggest that although listening strategies play an important role, listening proficiency is influenced by multiple factors. In addition, factors such as learners’ motivation, prior knowledge, and exposure to English may also contribute significantly to listening achievement. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers incorporate explicit instruction of cognitive and metacognitive strategies and provide greater exposure to authentic listening materials to enhance students’ listening development.
