Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the strategies that EFL teachers use to overcome learning barriers in the classroom. A mixed methods approach was used to collect data through a Likert-scale questionnaire with 30 teachers and interviews with three teachers from various regions in Indonesia. Quantitative findings revealed that teachers frequently employed strategies such as differentiated instruction, motivational support, and digital media integration. Through thematic coding, the qualitative analysis further revealed specific techniques, including simplifying materials, employing collaborative learning, managing student focus, and encouraging passive learners through praise and rapport building. These results underscore the importance of adaptive, student-centered teaching practices for addressing the diverse challenges in EFL classrooms. The study suggests that a combination of cognitive, emotional, and technological strategies is essential for improving learning outcomes.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology in the 21st century have changed the way students access and interact with learning materials, particularly through platforms like YouTube. This study aims to examine the relationship between students' learning style preferences—based on the VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/Write, Kinesthetic) model—and their interest in using YouTube as an English language learning medium. The research design employed a quantitative correlational approach applied to a sample of 20 sixth-semester students from the University of Kepulauan Riau. Data were collected using the VARK questionnaire and a Likert scale instrument adapted from validated research to measure interest in YouTube-assisted English language learning. The results of the normality test indicated that the data for the variables of interest were normally distributed (p = 0.148). However, due to the categorical nature of the learning style variables, Spearman's Rank Correlation was used. The findings revealed a weak and insignificant negative correlation (ρ = -0.266, p > 0.05) between learning style preferences and students' interest in YouTube-based English language learning. This suggests that YouTube, as a multimodal learning platform, can attract a diverse range of learners, regardless of their preferred learning styles. This study recommends integrating YouTube into teaching practices and conducting further research with broader variables and larger samples.

Abstract

This study aims to explore sixth semester students' self-confidence in presenting research proposals in the Proposal Seminar course. Using a mixed methods approach, data was obtained from 19 students through a self-confidence questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire results showed that most participants had a high level of self-confidence, with an average score of 79.61%. Analysis of the interview transcripts revealed six main themes: strengths in presenting, presentation challenges, preparedness, coping strategies, audience influence, and self-reflection. Although many students experienced nervousness, they demonstrated an awareness of their strengths and applied strategies such as deep breathing, positive thinking, and rehearsal as ways to manage anxiety. The presence of an evaluative audience, especially lecturers, proved to be a major influence on students' confidence levels. Overall, the results show that students' self-confidence is dynamic and shaped by readiness, experience, audience context, and reflective practice. This study emphasizes the importance of a supportive academic environment to foster confidence in oral academic presentations.

Abstract

This study uses a correlational research method, which aims to determine whether there is a significant relationship between motivation and reading comprehension among students at the University of Riau Islands. The participants were 20 students at Universitas Riau Kepulauan, specifically in the English Education Study Program. The study focused on sixth-semester students, as they are expected to have more experience in reading academic texts and are more likely to show clear patterns of motivation and reading comprehension. In this study, two measurement tools were used: a questionnaire and a reading test administered by the teacher to measure students' reading motivation and reading comprehension. In analyzing the data, the questionnaire was scored using a Likert scale. The Shapiro-Wilk test confirmed normal data distribution, and Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation analysis revealed a negligible negative relationship (r = -0.021, p = 0.930), indicating no significant correlation between motivation and reading comprehension. These results suggest that although motivation is still a crucial aspect of learning, it might not have a direct impact on reading comprehension in this particular situation. In order to obtain deeper insights, future research is encouraged to examine this link using larger samples and a wider range of methodologies.
