Abstract

This study investigates the internal barriers faced by university students when using English movies to improve their listening skills. Conducted at the University of Muhammadiyah Tangerang, this research used a qualitative descriptive method involving 24 first-semester students through classroom observation and interviews. The results identified four main barriers: difficulty understanding grammar, limited vocabulary, dependency on subtitles, and trouble recognizing accents. For instance, many students struggled to follow figurative language and idiomatic expressions such as “get your head out of the clouds.” Others reported confusion when characters spoke too quickly or with unfamiliar pronunciation. These challenges limited students’ ability to fully comprehend the dialogue, despite their interest in using movies as a learning tool. The findings indicate that watching movies alone is not enough to improve listening skills without structured support. Therefore, educators should handle these barriers by providing guided activities such as teaching key vocabulary before viewing, using pause-and-reflect techniques, and conducting post-viewing discussions. These steps can help turn passive watching into an active learning process and enhance listening comprehension at the university level.

Abstract

Technological advancements hold immense potential for transforming teaching and learning, yet many students struggle to effectively harness digital tools, especially in creative writing. Assemblr EDU (edu.assemblrworld.com), an application that leverages 3D and Augmented Reality (AR) technology, enables users to craft interactive and engaging educational content. Despite its availability as a free resource, a persistent gap in students’ digital literacy prevents them from fully exploiting tools like assemblr EDU for academic purposes. This study explores how assemblr EDU can spark interest in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learning and elevate learning outcomes. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved 38 university students and found that assemblr EDU significantly enhances the development of captivating, interactive learning materials. Students reported that visualizing characters and story elements through the platform made creative writing more enjoyable, effectively bridging the digital literacy divide while cultivating an immersive and motivating learning environment. Ultimately, this approach markedly improves students’ creative writing abilities and overall EFL proficiency.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is a crucial skill that significantly affects one's ability to communicate effectively in both professional and social contexts. To enhance students' listening abilities, many educators employ various methods and media, including utilizing YouTube videos from creators like The Wizard Liz. This research employed two types of assessments: a pre-test and a post-test. The study's participants were ninth-grade students from SMPN 1 Sepatan-Tangerang. Hypothesis testing was conducted using the Mann-Whitney test, where the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted if the significance value is below 0.05. In the statistical analysis of Students' Listening skill results in the post-test, the value of Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.00 < 0.05 is obtained. Based on the data, it can be concluded that "H1 is accepted" and "H0 is rejected." Specifically, "H1 posits that there is a significant difference in students' listening skills when using The Wizard Liz's video compared to not using it," while "H0 suggests that there is no significant difference in students' listening skills between using The Wizard Liz's video and not using it. It can be concluded that the use of The Wizard Liz’s video as a learning medium has an effect on the listening ability of ninth-grade students of SMPN 1 Sepatan-Tangerang. Students teaching and learning activities using The Wizard Liz’s video media found that this media helped students improve their English language skills, especially in improving students' listening skills and helping students acquire new vocabulary.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis methods on novels translated from English into Indonesian. This study was conducted to investigate the type of translation deviation at the syntactic level, in the question sentences used in dialogue of Stephenie Meyer’s Eclipse novel. The source data on the study was taken from Eclipse novel as the source text and Gerhana novel as the target text. The novel has a good translation result, but there are some grammatical deviations when translated into the target text. Translation deviations by using Newmark’s theory. The results of the study showed that (1) translation deviations found in question sentences that are syntactic, lexical, and word arrangement deviations; (2) the causes of such deviations are (1) the presence of untranslated words, grammatical errors, and the use of individual languages; (3) the impact of these deviations is that the sentence becomes ungrammatical, the sentence is not commensurate, there is interference in Indonesian, the text is impolite, the text is ambiguous, and the text is unclear. In general, it can be concluded that the occurrence of deviations at this syntactic level has more influence on the grammatical aspect due to the difference in sentence structure in two different languages. Translators strive to translate the text so that it is easily understood by the reader and adapted to the target reader so that many grammatical aspects are not translated.

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of third-semester students in the English Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang regarding the use of the Book Creator application as a digital tool to support the development public speaking especially in application of public speaking elements. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data was collected through interviews with 32 students and 1 lecturer teaching the public speaking course, as well as analysis of student video project documents. The results indicate that 29 out of 32 students experienced improvement in at least one element of public speaking, including facial expressions, eye contact, hand gestures, body movements, and voice. Multimedia features such as video, audio, text, and image insertion encouraged repeated practice, self-evaluation, and increased self-confidence. Students also developed greater creativity and clarity in crafting their messages. These results support the implementation of a reflective and student-centered learning approach in a digital environment. However, this study is limited by its small sample size and single institutional context. Practical implications suggest that educators can integrate Book Creator to develop public speaking skills in a flexible and engaging manner, tailored to the needs and learning styles of learners.
