Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 has put the universe into a big changes. Most sectors of life including education has to be adjusted for the sake of everybody’s safety. Language learning, which ideally needs a lot of interactions, should be held virtually. This sudden shift may cause several intervening factors which influence the success of it. This study was aimed at discussing the factors that may challenge the language learning during the virtual learning mode amidst the COVID-19. After studying some research about this issue, several factors namely lack of internet access, poor comprehension, poor interaction, overload tasks, insufficient infrastructure support, environmental distraction, and lack of motivation are found to be the challenges in implementing a successful virtual language learning amidst the outbreak.

Abstract

        Reading comprehension is an important skill for students, but many still have difficulties understanding and interpreting texts effectively. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Generating Interactions between Schemata and Text (GIST) strategy on students’ reading comprehension achievement. The study also explored how the strategy helped students understand texts through summarizing, activating prior knowledge, and discussing ideas collaboratively. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used involving 32 seventh-grade students at SMP Maitreyawira Palembang. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ post-test scores (M = 74.14, SD = 6.32) compared to their pre-test scores (M = 50.23, SD = 7.11), t(31) = 17.876, p < .001. These findings indicate that the GIST strategy effectively improved students’ reading comprehension. Therefore, the strategy can be used as an alternative teaching method to support reading instruction in English classes.

Abstract

Abstract: Phonological errors remain a challenge for EFL learners, particularly in pronouncing English vowel diphthongs that differ from their first language. This study analyzes the types of phonological errors made by sixth-semester students at Universitas Indo Global Mandiri, identifies the most frequently mispronounced diphthongs, and examines the association between their understanding and pronunciation accuracy. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed with 26 participants. Data were collected through a pronunciation test and a questionnaire, then analyzed using phonetic transcription, descriptive statistics, and a Chi-Square test. Data trustworthiness was ensured through methodological triangulation involving pronunciation tests, questionnaires, and validation by an rater. The findings revealed 216 errors out of 936 attempts (23.1%), with misformation as the most frequent error (56.9%), followed by omission (40.7%), addition (2.3%), and no misordering. The diphthongs /əʊ/, /eɪ/, and /ɪə/ were the most problematic, largely due to articulatory complexity and the absence of equivalents in Bahasa Indonesia, while /ɔɪ/ showed the fewest errors. Statistical analysis confirmed no significant association between students’ theoretical understanding and pronunciation accuracy, indicating that knowledge alone does not guarantee accurate production. These findings highlight the need for pronunciation instruction to emphasize articulation training, auditory exposure, and repeated practice. Such approaches may help learners reduce persistent errors and enhance intelligibility in English communication, particularly within educational contexts.Keywords: phonological errors, pronunciation accuracy, surface strategy taxonomy, vowel diphthongs.

Abstract

         Writing an undergraduate thesis is a crucial academic requirement; however, many English Education students face multiple challenges during the process. These difficulties often emerge from academic, linguistic, psychological, and social factors that interact in complex ways. While previous studies have examined these factors separately, few have analyzed them within a single comprehensive framework. This study aims to identify the major difficulties faced by English Education students in writing undergraduate theses and to analyze the contributing factors using Brown’s (2007) psychological, social, and linguistic dimensions. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected from 132 English Education students at four universities in South Sumatra through a closed-ended questionnaire and structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data followed Miles and Huberman’s (2013) model. The findings revealed that academic factors were the most dominant (58.13%), followed by linguistic (22.12%), psychological (11.49%), and social (8.26%) factors. Students reported the greatest challenges in topic selection, paraphrasing, and maintaining motivation during supervision. The study underscores the need for stronger academic support, structured writing workshops, and consistent supervisory mentoring. These findings contribute to a more integrated understanding of thesis-writing difficulties and provide practical insights for improving academic writing instruction and supervision in EFL contexts.

Abstract

Recent research confirmed that idioms were one of the most complex aspects of learning English because their meanings were influenced by cultural differences, context, and limitations in the target language. Considering this fact, this study explored idiomatic expressions in the film Bilal: A New Breed of Hero to identify their types and meanings, while emphasizing the urgency of learning idioms in the context of English as a foreign language. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a discourse analysis approach, referencing Fernando's classification of idioms into three categories: pure, semi-literal, and literal. Data in the form of dialogues in the film containing idioms were analyzed through semantic and narrative context studies. The results of the study showed that the majority of idioms fell into the semi-literal categorization, combining literal and figurative meanings. In addition to functioning as stylistic elements, idioms also strengthened characterization, depicted conflicts, and represented Arab-Islamic cultural values. The film Bilal: A New Breed of Hero was considered a suitable subject for study because it presented the use of idioms in an authentic context while reflecting cultural values. Thus, this research was expected to contribute to the development of semantic studies, enrich language learning strategies, and enhance cross-cultural understanding.
