Abstract

Second language (L2) learning is often undermined by significant psychological barriers like anxiety and fragile motivation, trapping students in surface-level memorization. This conceptual paper proposes a fundamental paradigm shift from a deficit-remediation model to one centered on fostering learner well-being. Drawing on a systematic literature review, we introduce 'Positive Language Pedagogy,' a framework integrating the five pillars of positive psychology's PERMA model (Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment). We argue that this systematic integration proactively dismantles affective filters, cultivates intrinsic motivation, and builds psychological resources essential for deep learning. The result is a pathway toward not only linguistic competence but also the development of resilient, autonomous, and confident language learners.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study analyzes the need for a professional writing course for L2 students based on Positive Psychology (PP). It surveyed 70 third-semester EFL students at Universitas Negeri Makassar, categorized by academic achievement, on their interest in a PP-based curriculum focusing on Meaning, Accomplishment, Relationships, and Engagement. While all students showed high interest in the course's career relevance, significant differences emerged in their reception of PP pedagogy. Low-achieving students were most interested in strengths-based, confidence-building aspects, often due to past negative feedback experiences. High-achieving students were more motivated by authentic, real-world challenges. The findings reveal that even innovative pedagogies are not one-size-fits-all, highlighting the necessity of a pre-curricular diagnostic approach to meet the diverse cognitive and affective needs of students.

Abstract

The field of second language acquisition has witnessed a "positive turn," shifting focus from learner deficits to the factors that enable learners to thrive. This systematic review synthesizes and critically examines the nexus of positive psychology (PP) and motivation within diverse English language learning contexts—English as a Foreign Language (EFL), English as a Second Language (ESL), and native speaker (L1) literacy—from 2015 to 2024. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive search of major academic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, PsycINFO), yielding 68 empirical studies that met our inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis of these studies revealed several key findings. First, research is dominated by a few cores PP constructs, namely grit, growth mindset, foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and resilience, with learner well-being emerging as a holistic and integrative concept. Second, these PP constructs demonstrate a strong, positive mediational or predictive relationship with key motivational frameworks, particularly Dörnyei's L2 Motivational Self System. Third, significant contextual disparities exist: the bulk of research is situated in EFL contexts, focusing on classroom-based emotions and academic achievement; ESL research highlights resilience and socio-cultural adaptation; and the L1 context remains critically under-explored, with a focus on academic mindset rather than language-specific motivation. Finally, a growing number of studies propose and test PP-informed pedagogical interventions, such as gratitude journaling and strengths-based feedback, demonstrating promising but nascent evidence of their efficacy. This review consolidates a decade of research, highlighting the crucial role of positive psychological attributes in sustaining motivation for language learning. It concludes by outlining critical gaps in the literature and proposing a research agenda that calls for more longitudinal, interventionist, and contextually diverse studies to build a more comprehensive understanding of how to foster flourishing English language learners.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools on improving reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and reading fluency among IAIN Palopo and Universitas Negeri Makassar students. With the increasing integration of AI in educational settings, this research aims to assess how personalized learning environments provided by AI can enhance students' literacy skills. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from pre-and post-test scores with qualitative data from student and lecturer interviews. The results indicate significant improvements in reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and reading fluency, with moderate to large effect sizes observed across both institutions. Additionally, qualitative findings reveal that AI tools motivated students, increased engagement, and provided personalized learning experiences. However, challenges such as technological access and infrastructure limitations were identified, particularly at Universitas Negeri Makassar, which affected students’ ability to engage with the tools fully. The study concludes that while AI tools can significantly improve reading skills, successful implementation requires addressing infrastructure issues and ensuring the cultural relevance of learning materials. The findings suggest that AI should complement traditional pedagogical practices rather than replace them, offering a blended learning approach that supports deeper learning. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on AI in education and highlights the importance of adapting AI tools to local contexts to maximize their effectiveness.

Abstract

This research investigates the transformation of doctoral supervisory discourse from dyadic to triadic interactions through Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative case study and Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis (CMDA) of ten supervisory triads, the study examines how AI-augmented loops influence Scholarly Dignity, well-being, and persistence. By synthesizing the PERMA and HOPE models with the indigenous philosophy, findings reveal that GenAI functions as a "resilience scaffold." It fosters positive emotions and provides diverse cognitive pathways to academic goals, shifting the supervisor’s role toward epistemological mentorship. However, the study identifies risks of voice homogenization and "epistemological hollowing." Consequently, the Resilient Triadic Loop (RTL) model is proposed to harmonize algorithmic efficiency with human wisdom and metacognitive agency. The study concludes that institutional policies must move beyond detection toward a "metacognitive mentorship" framework to ensure the authentic scholarly voice remains central in an automated era.

Abstract

Minat baca dan keterampilan membaca pemahaman Bahasa Inggris siswa di Indonesia masih menjadi tantangan utama, seperti yang tercermin dalam Rapor Pendidikan. Di MTsN 1 Makassar, pembelajaran membaca teridentifikasi masih didominasi oleh praktik intensive reading (membaca intensif) yang berfokus pada penyiapan ujian dan mengabaikan pembinaan minat baca. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk melatih guru-guru Bahasa Inggris MTsN 1 Makassar dalam merancang program Extensive Reading (ER) atau membaca ekstensif, yang dikelola melalui sinergi Project-Based Learning (PBL) dan Heutagogy. ER adalah fondasi untuk membangun kefasihan dan perolehan kosakata. Heutagogy menyediakan kerangka otonomi siswa (pilihan mandiri), dan PBL menyediakan kerangka asesmen yang otentik (respons kreatif terhadap bacaan). Metode kegiatan adalah pelatihan partisipatif dan lokakarya desain modul ajar. Hasil dievaluasi menggunakan pre-test dan post-test (pengetahuan) serta penilaian produk RPP/Modul Ajar (keterampilan). Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan guru secara signifikan, dengan nilai rata-rata post-test mencapai 82 (kategori Baik) dari nilai pre-test 35 (Sangat Kurang). Selain itu, 100% peserta berhasil merancang draf program ER semesteran yang mengintegrasikan ketiga komponen, dengan ide proyek populer seperti "Podcast Ulasan Buku" dan "Dinding Baca Digital". Pelatihan ini berhasil membekali guru dengan model pedagogis yang komprehensif untuk membina budaya literasi di madrasah.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze of verbal humor in Jimmy O. Yang's stand-up comedy special Guess How Much using Shade's theory of verbal humor classification and the General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH) by Raskin and Attardo. Shade categorizes verbal humor into twelve types: pun, riddle, joke, satire, limerick, parody, anecdote, farce, irony, sarcasm, tall tale, and wit. Meanwhile, GTVH identifies six interrelated knowledge resources used to construct humor: Script Opposition (SO), Logical Mechanism (LM), Situation (SI), Target (TA), Narrative Strategy (NS), and Language (LA). This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected from the transcript of the performance video, focusing on utterances that contain verbal humor. The results show that 11 out of 12 types of verbal humor appear in the performance, with anecdote being the most dominant, found in 15 out of 61 humorous utterances. This reflects Jimmy O. Yang's storytelling-based comedic style, which relies heavily on personal experiences, cultural background, and everyday life. Based on the types of humor found, the results also indicate that all six Knowledge Resources from GTVH are used in constructing the verbal humor.This study reveals that Jimmy O. Yang's humor is not only entertaining but also reflects his identity as an Asian-American and his experience growing up in an immigrant family. The combination of Shade's theory and GTVH provides a comprehensive understanding of how verbal humor is structured and meaningful. The findings show that verbal humor in stand-up comedy can serve as a vehicle for cultural expression, identity construction, and social commentary, while also engaging the audience through powerful and personal storytelling.

Abstract

Grammar instruction in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context is frequently perceived as anxiety-inducing and monotonous, particularly when learning is dominated by rule memorization and form-focused explanations. This issue is especially critical for pre-service English teachers, as their experiences as learners may influence their future teaching practices. Although gamification has been widely adopted to enhance engagement in grammar learning, many existing practices rely on surface-level mechanics such as points and quizzes, offering limited support for deep cognitive processing. To address this gap, this study conducted a needs analysis to examine pre-service English teachers’ perspectives on grammar instruction and their readiness for meaningful gamified learning. Employing a descriptive quantitative survey design, data were collected from 49 undergraduate students from English Education and English Literature programs who had completed grammar courses. The questionnaire explored grammar anxiety, digital readiness, flow potential, and gamification design preferences, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings reveal a moderate level of grammar anxiety and a notable gap between grammatical knowledge and its application in communication. At the same time, participants demonstrated high digital readiness and strong potential for immersive engagement. Importantly, they expressed a clear preference for deep, narrative-based gamification rather than quiz-oriented activities. These findings suggest that pre-service English teachers are cognitively and psychologically prepared for a deep-learning-oriented gamified grammar model, providing a foundation for future model development in teacher education contexts.Keywords: grammar anxiety, gamification, pre-service English teachers, needs analysis, grammar instruction

Abstract

Penulisan artikel ilmiah berbasis skripsi masih menjadi salah satu tantangan bagi mahasiswa karena banyak mahasiswa cenderung memindahkan isi skripsi secara langsung ke dalam artikel tanpa parafrase, pemadatan, dan penyesuaian dengan struktur jurnal. Selain itu, mahasiswa juga masih mengalami kesulitan dalam menyesuaikan naskah dengan template jurnal, memilih jurnal target, serta memahami proses submit artikel melalui Open Journal System (OJS). Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas publikasi mahasiswa melalui pendampingan penulisan artikel ilmiah berbasis skripsi. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan dalam bentuk pelatihan dan pendampingan melalui penyampaian materi, diskusi interaktif, praktik parafrase dan pemadatan isi skripsi, penyesuaian template jurnal, pemilihan jurnal target, simulasi submit artikel, serta refleksi peserta. Evaluasi kegiatan dilakukan menggunakan angket sebelum dan sesudah pendampingan untuk mengukur perubahan pemahaman peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta mengenai perbedaan skripsi dan artikel ilmiah dari 32,7% menjadi 87,8%. Pemahaman bahwa artikel tidak boleh hanya berupa copy-paste atau ringkasan skripsi meningkat dari 28,6% menjadi 89,8%, sedangkan pemahaman tentang pemilihan jurnal target meningkat dari 22,4% menjadi 80,6%. Pendampingan ini membantu peserta memahami proses transformasi skripsi menjadi artikel ilmiah, penggunaan template jurnal, dan tahapan submit artikel. Dengan demikian, pendampingan ini terbukti membantu meningkatkan literasi publikasi dan kesiapan mahasiswa dalam mengembangkan skripsi menjadi artikel ilmiah yang lebih sesuai dengan standar jurnal.
