Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance children’s motivation to learn English in Gunung Mas Village through the implementation of a fun learning approach involving a foreign speaker. The approach emphasizes enjoyment, active engagement, and hands-on experience as the core of the learning process. The “Kelas Pelita” program consisted of three interactive sessions focusing on the topics of the alphabet, numbers, colors, fruits and body parts, integrating four main elements: Game-Based Learning (GBL), Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Total Physical Response (TPR), and the use of digital media. The results showed that students became more enthusiastic, confident, and willing to communicate in English. Direct interaction with a foreign speaker from Yemen provided authentic language exposure and increased students’ curiosity toward English as a global communication tool. Through the fun learning approach, this activity successfully created a positive, interactive, and meaningful learning atmosphere for children in a rural area.

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

Phonological interference from learners' first language (L1) is a well-established factor affecting English pronunciation, yet empirical research on L1 transfer among speakers of minority languages in Indonesia, particularly Maanyanese remains scarce. Despite growing interest in L2 phonology, no previous study has examined how the Maanyanese language, with its limited vowel inventory and absence of central vowels, influences English vowel production. This study addresses that gap by analyzing the English pronunciations of three Maanyanese-speaking university students selected through purposive sampling. Using a qualitative case study design, supported by semi-structured interviews and acoustic-phonetic analysis in Praat, the research investigated how learners produced English vowels that lack direct Maanyanese equivalents. The findings reveal systematic substitution patterns such as /?/?/i/, /?/?/a/ or /u/, and the consistent avoidance of schwa, indicating predictable L1 transfer. Interpreted through the Perceptual Assimilation Model, these patterns illustrate how unfamiliar L2 vowels are assimilated into existing Maanyanese phonemic categories, shaping learners’ interlanguage phonology. Scientifically, the study contributes new evidence on L1 influence from an under-documented Indonesian language, expanding the understanding of L2 vowel acquisition in multilingual contexts. Pedagogically, the results underscore the need for explicit instruction in vowel reduction, tense–lax distinctions, and segmental contrasts not present in Maanyanese.

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 aims to analyze the characterizations of Odysseus through implicature theory by Yule in EPIC: The Musical album. EPIC: The Musical is a musical song that tells Odysseus' journey as a legendary hero in the literary works of Homer. The researchers construct a pragmatics study using discourse analysis. The researchers analyze the 31 songs in the album to discover the implicature that portrays Odysseus' characters.

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.
