Abstract

This research investigates the strategies used by successful English language learners of Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of University of Palangka Raya in improving speaking skill. This research employed the modified Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionaires designed by Oxford (1990) and classroom observation to obtain data from 3 successful students of the fourth semester students studying at the English Department. The analysis of the data revealed that students used a high level (M=3.55) of language learning strategies to improve their English speaking skill. Among the learning strategies, metacognitive strategies (M=4.09) appeared to be the most frequently used strategies by the three students to improve their English speaking skill, followed correspondingly by compensation strategies (M=3.75), cognitive strategies (M=3.74), affective strategies (M=3.33), social strategies (M=3.06), and memory strategies (M=2.92). This finding showed that high motivation, level of language proficiency, and learning style have strong relationship with the use of students’ language learning strategy. The result also suggests that various of teaching strategies in the classrooms should be considered by the language teachers since the students have different preferences to learn. Highlighting the importance of learners’ metacognitive strategies is also recommeded without ignoring out the other strategies.

Abstract

This research explored the English learning experiences of Generation Z students in Indonesia using a narrative inquiry approach. Amidst the rapid advancement of digital technology, it was important to understand how Generation Z, born in the digital era, interacted with English language learning. This research aimed to explore students' perceptions, challenges, and lived experiences in learning English to contribute to developing more relevant teaching practices. A qualitative research design was applied by collecting personal narratives from five purposively selected students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective writing tasks, then thematically analyzed to identify patterns and individual perspectives. The findings of this research identified four main themes: (1) a preference for informal digital platforms, such as social media and learning apps; (2) emotional changes related to self-confidence and peer comparison; (3) the role of teacher support and classroom environment in enhancing motivation; and (4) a growing view of English as a practical skill that was more important than mere academic achievement. The findings illustrated the dynamic relationship between personal motivation, socio-cultural influences, and technological engagement in shaping students' language learning journeys. The research concluded that recognizing and integrating students' narratives in teaching practices could increase learner engagement, encourage independence, and support more adaptive and empathic teaching strategies. These findings' implications were highly relevant for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers to align English language teaching with the values and realities of Generation Z students.

Abstract

The prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this modern era has been one of the major interests in translation studies. The ability of AI to produce human-like translations has become an ongoing discussion among scholars. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the utility of AI in providing alternatives for journalistic text translation results made by English Department students of Universitas Palangka Raya during a Translation Course. Given the communicative nature of journalistic texts, this study explores how culturally distinctive features, such as idioms, collocations, traditional language nuances, and organization names, are translated from Indonesian into English. By referring to translation strategies adapted from Newmark (1988), Hoed (2006), and Baker (2011), translation results made by students are compared with those generated by AI technology, i.e. DeepL and ChatGPT. Since creativity is one of the key characteristics of human translation, this study examines whether AI systems can be reliable tools for demonstrating the same creativity level. Translation creativity in this study refers to the ability to select the most effective strategies and wording to produce better translation versions of those culturally distinctive features. This study is expected to shed light on the evolving role of AI in the field of translation.

Abstract

The local culture integration in foreign language (FL) reading classroom can help learners understanding text more easily and quickly. This research took 37 secondary school students in the junior level (11 males & 26 females) as the sample. The quantitative research method was used with a case-study research design. There were three research objectives focused in this study: (1) the influence of local culture-based pictorial narrative texts on students' reading comprehension; (2) the correlation between students' perceptions of integrating local culture into the development of reading materials and students' reading comprehension; and (3) the difference of problems faced by students in understanding pictorial narrative texts in terms of purpose of the story, characters in the story, orientation, complications, and resolution of the story. The results showed that local culture-based pictorial narratives had a significant effect on students' reading comprehension, and were positively correlated to each other. In addition, students do not have discrepancy in terms of problems encountered when understanding the narratives such as the purpose of the story, characters in the story, orientation, complication, and resolution of the story.

Abstract

Anxiety or nervousness is one of the affective factors that affects anyone learning and practicing English as a foreign language, especially when speaking the language. Anxiety in English speaking is commonly related to apprehension, fear, and worry that the learners experience when using the language. Most researchers in Indonesia studied speaking anxiety in terms of psychological and linguistic factors, but not specifically to relate with variables such as gender and number of years for learning the target language. This study is in addition to examining the speaking anxiety level of Indonesian learners of English, and the dominant factor triggering the anxiety, and also to attest the difference of anxiety levels related to gender and the number of years in learning English. By using a quantitative method of case study research design, this study revealed that female learners are more anxious than males in speaking English which mean gender is affected by foreign language anxiety. Besides, the number of years in learning English also influences learners controlling their anxiety during speaking which means the longer they learn English the less anxious they speak the language. Then, test anxiety most dominantly contributes to the uneasiness factor for students in speaking English. The result of this study implies that teachers or lecturers of English must provide a space for female students to feel more secure in speaking class by avoiding negative evaluation so that they feel comfortable while learning and acquiring the language.

Abstract

Abstract. This research investigates the material needs of third-year students enrolled in two classes of Translation courses at Universitas Palangka Raya, aiming to inform the development of a comprehensive translation module. A total of 108 students participated in the study, providing valuable insights through a structured questionnaire designed to assess their specific requirements for translation materials. A qualitative approach using structured questionnaires was used, allowing for both thematic analysis of open-ended responses and percentage-based summaries of closed-ended items. This enabled an in-depth understanding of the students’ perspectives and learning needs. The findings revealed that the majority of students felt the current materials were adequate, but highlighted the need for a more structured and accessible module. Specifically, students expressed a desire for materials that bridge the gap between theory and practice, including more examples, practical exercises, and structured guidance across different types of texts, such as academic, commercial, and literary works. The results underscore the importance of developing a tailored translation module that not only covers the theoretical aspects of translation but also provides ample opportunities for students to apply their knowledge in practice. This study provides a foundational basis for enhancing the Translation courses at Universitas Palangka Raya, ensuring that the curriculum aligns more closely with the actual needs of students.Keywords: : translation, module, learning materials, EFL students, need analysis
