Abstract

This community service program explored the use of the kinesthetic method to enhance children’s English vocabulary through the Engage, Study, and Activate (ESA) approach. The program was carried out with 12 sixth-grade students at SDN Nagaleah, Barito Timur, over three interactive learning sessions that focused on vocabulary related to animals and body parts. The teaching process integrated games, songs, gestures, and visual aids to create an engaging and enjoyable learning environment for the children. To measure the effectiveness of the activities, a pre-test and post-test were administered, and the results showed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with the average score rising from 69.17 to 91.25, representing a 31.93% enhancement. These outcomes highlight that community service activities in education can effectively support children’s vocabulary acquisition by encouraging active participation, improving memory retention, and fostering motivation to learn.

Abstract

This research investigates the use of speech acts by Levi Kane, the main character in the 2025 romantic action-thriller film The Gorge, through the framework of Searle’s Speech Act Theory. The study aims to classify and analyze Levi’s utterances based on their types, forms, and pragmatic levels to understand how language reflects his identity and emotional transformation. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, 170 utterances were analyzed from the film’s official transcript. The utterances were categorized into five speech act types (assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative), identified as either direct or indirect, and evaluated according to three pragmatic levels: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. The findings reveal that assertive speech acts are the most dominant, followed by directives, expressives, and commissives. No declaratives were found, which reflects Levi’s role as an executor rather than a formal authority. Direct speech acts significantly outnumber indirect ones, illustrating his concise and action-oriented communication style. At the pragmatic level, illocutionary acts dominate, suggesting that Levi’s speech is highly intentional and performative. These results indicate that Levi’s speech patterns mirror his shift from a reserved soldier to an emotionally engaged individual. The study highlights how pragmatic analysis can be used to trace psychological depth and character development in film, providing valuable insights for linguists, educators, and scholars of media discourse

Abstract

This study examines how students perceive American and British accents, particularly when these accents are presented through films and songs used in English learning. Since such media are frequently incorporated into classroom activities, the type of accent used can influence how well students comprehend and engage with the material. The purpose of the research is to identify which accent students find easier to understand and more helpful for developing their English skills through audiovisual input. The study involved 35 sixth-semester English Education students from Class C at Universitas Palangka Raya. Data were collected using a mixed-method questionnaire adapted from Hermini (2019), with several additional questions developed by the researcher. Results show a clear preference for the General American (GA) accent, which students described as easier to follow due to its clarity, widespread use, and familiarity. On the other hand, although Received Pronunciation (RP) was seen as distinct, formal, and culturally prestigious, many found it more difficult to grasp. Interestingly, 100% participants said GA was easier to understand in songs, and 94.3% said the same for movies. The findings suggest that consistent exposure to a particular accent improves listening comprehension. Therefore, educators should consider prioritizing materials that feature GA, while gradually introducing RP to help learners build broader listening skills over time.

Abstract

This study investigates cognitive approaches to Second Language Acquisition (SLA) by examining key components: attention, working memory, L1 transfer, and cognitive restructuring. Despite extensive research on individual cognitive factors in SLA, there remains a critical gap in understanding how these elements interact systemically in multilingual contexts, particularly in Indonesian EFL classrooms where traditional teaching methods often neglect cognitive principles. This study aims to develop an integrated cognitive model of SLA and propose practical pedagogical strategies tailored to Indonesia’s unique multilingual environment. A systematic review is conducted using the SALSA framework (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis), incorporating NVivo 12-assisted thematic analysis of ten peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2023. The methodology follows PRISMA 2020 guidelines for transparent study selection and applies qualitative analysis to identify patterns across diverse cognitive studies. The findings reveal that attention serves as a gateway for input processing and learning, while working memory determines learners’ capacity to handle linguistic information. Additionally, L1 transfer either facilitates or hinders L2 learning depending on language distance and learner awareness. Cognitive restructuring enables proceduralization of explicit knowledge. In the Indonesian EFL context, these mechanisms are especially relevant. This study suggests cognitively informed instruction to enhance learning outcomes.
