Abstract

Listening comprehension is a crucial skill in language learning,. But many students continue to struggle with understanding spoken information due to cognitive overload, difficulty identifying key points, and ineffective note-taking strategies. A preliminary observation in Class XI D at MAN 2 Jember revealed that students faced significant challenges in listening tasks, as shown by their low average pre-test score of 52.5. These difficulties highlighted the urgent need for targeted instructional strategies like Classroom Action Reserach to support their listening development. This classroom action research (CAR) was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of sentence and abbreviation note-taking techniques in improving students' listening comprehension. Implemented over two cycles involving planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages, the study demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ performance, with the average score rising to 75.9 in Cycle 2, surpassing the success criterion of 70. The findings suggest that structured note-taking techniques enhance students’ ability to extract key information and reduce cognitive overload. By addressing challenges such as classroom arrangement, phonological interference, and divided attention, the study provides practical insights for teachers seeking to improve students' listening skills through effective note-taking strategies.

Abstract

Bilingualism and multilingualism are closely related to these language phenomena i.e. code switching and code mixing. Recently, bilingualism and multilingualism are also linked to translingualism This study explores the use of code switching and code mixing among Thai students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember in Indonesia, examining their types and underlying causes.. The research, conducted from September 2024 to February 2025, utilized a qualitative descriptive method, gathering data through audio recordings, interviews, and observations. The findings revealed three types of code switching: tag-switching (50%), intra-sentential (40%), and inter-sentential (10%). Similarly, three types of code mixing were identified: alternation (52%), insertion (41.5%), and congruent lexicalization (6%). The study also found that factors such as language proficiency, academic year, social environment, communicative intent, and emotional factors influenced students' language practices. Older cohorts tended to use more Indonesian and English, while newer students relied more on Thai and Malay. The study concludes that code switching and code mixing serve as adaptive strategies for Thai students to navigate their multilingual environment, improve communication, and express their identity. These findings contribute to understanding multilingual practices among international students and support the integration of translanguaging pedagogies in multicultural educational settings.
