Abstract

Selecting joyful communication activities in English learning is indispensably essential. Undoubtedly, the students prefer joyful communication activities regardless the activities use assisted technology or not. Hence, this study sought to explore joyful communication activities based on EFL students' perceptions. It also aims to elicit students' attitudes toward technology-assisted and non-assisted communication activities. This study employed a mix-methods approach to obtain quantitative and qualitative data on 126 students from various non-English departments at a state university in Indonesia. Distributing the questionnaires was employed to obtain the quantitative data. Meanwhile, the qualitative data was obtained through semi-structured interviews. The findings show that three kinds of activities are recognized as the most joyful communication activities, and 12 are the medium of joyful communication activities. Furthermore, the other 16 activities are at a low position (not recommended). Regarding technology-assisted and non-assisted language learning, the student's attitude shows that they prefer to enjoy technology-non-assisted learning activities over technology-assisted activities. However, several activities using technology-assisted learning still gain students' attraction. The study suggests that lecturers should implement recognized joyful communication activities based on students' preferences for enhancing their interest in communication skill mastery.

Abstract

This study examines the complex relationships between interpersonal relationship quality (IRQ) and life satisfaction (LS) among people in Indonesia, with a focus on the roles played by emotional intelligence (EI) and effective communication (EC). Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was used as a quantitative method to examine the associations between the variables in a sample of 210 people. The findings show strong and favorable correlations: EC and EI have a positive impact on LS and IRQ. A number of fit indices indicate the structural model's satisfactory fit, and the blindfolding test confirms the model's predictive ability. The results indicate that, in the Indonesian setting, developing emotional intelligence and effective communication skills may lead to improved interpersonal connections and a higher quality of life.
