Abstract

This study utilized qualitative research with a case study design to investigate the difficulties encountered by EFL students in reading comprehension. Nine students from Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 (State Islamic Senior High School) Muara Enim in South Sumatra who met the research sampling criteria were selected using the purposeful sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews, and the results were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the majority of students experienced obstacles in reading comprehension, including a lack of vocabulary, a limited grasp of grammar, unfamiliarity with the topic content, an inability to employ reading strategies effectively, and unappealing reading materials. This exploration of specific obstacles that EFL students encounter in reading comprehension could serve as the foundation for the development of targeted strategies and interventions aimed at supporting the students in improving their reading skills.

Abstract

The current technological development has made online learning an alternative for teachers and students to carry out instruction. One of the learning applications that is often used is Google Meet. This research was conducted to find out the students' perceptions toward the use of Google Meet for speaking activities at a private Islamic Senior High School (Madrasah Aliyah) in Palembang, South Sumatera. The study employed a qualitative research design, and the participants were twelve 11th-grade students from the science and social studies departments. Data were collected through interviews, which were recorded and transcribed. The findings of this research revealed that learning speaking through the Google Meet application was perceived negatively by the students, indicating its ineffectiveness in facilitating their speaking activities. Several views were identified: (1) using Google Meet decreased student engagement in speaking activities, (2) it did not create an enthusiastic learning atmosphere for speaking, (3) it reduced students' attention to learning speaking, and (4) it was unhelpful in improving the students' speaking skills. These implied that the use of Google Meet application was ineffective for English speaking activities. However, it could be used as a supplementary online English teaching media.

Abstract

This qualitative case study aimed to investigate teachers’ challenges and strategies in teaching English as a foreign language using a Plus curriculum, a self-designed curriculum that combines the national curriculum and the Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) curriculum. This study involved two English teachers at a private Indonesian Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High School) in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The research revealed several internal and external challenges encountered by the teachers when teaching English using this combined curriculum. Internal challenges included three aspects: teachers' abilities to utilize ICT in teaching, designing lesson plans, and enhancing students' learning motivation. External challenges included two aspects: managing limited time allocation and dealing with inadequate learning facilities. Despite these teaching challenges, the researchers identified several strategies employed by the teachers to overcome the challenges. These strategies include improving their practical knowledge in using ICT, tailoring teaching materials and methods with learning objectives, applying various motivational strategies, providing extra time for informal learning after school, and ensuring students’ access to necessary learning facilities and resources.

Abstract

This study focused on how interlanguage pragmatics (ILP) is manifested in a multicultural environment. Learners ability to make requests has received considerable attention in ILP research because requests are intrinsic face-threatening acts. The question this study aimed to address was to what extent a culture has an impact on the direct and indirect level of request strategies. The data were collected from thirty participants (fifteen males and fifteen females) representing five nationalities (Russian, Indonesian, Pakistani, Jordanian, and Hungarian) and studying at the University of Pannonia. The Discourse Completion Test (DCT) developed by Hendriks (2002) was used as an instrument, containing different situations to which the participants had to respond. The linguistic and cultural background of the participants was identified using an online tool, namely the Language History Questionnaire. The participants responses were then recorded and transcribed. The direct and indirect levels of the requests were analyzed by categorizing the head act and the internal (syntactic and lexical) and external modifiers. The data showed that the participants generally used more indirect strategies in making requests (86.2% indirect, 13.8% direct), especially those from Indonesia. Participants from Pakistan were the most direct in making requests. Moreover, they used more external modifiers than other participants to compensate for their directness.

Abstract

Financial Technology (FinTech) has significantly changed the landscape of Indonesia’s digital economy. On the other hand, the increasing non-domestic population in Indonesia, especially the student age group, also reflects the broadening demographic dynamics. This group plays a crucial role as a consumer in national economic growth. Despite the increasing growth of the national digital economy, the non-domestic population, especially the student age group, is doubtful about the acceptance of using FinTech. This paper investigated non-domestic students’ intention to use FinTech in Indonesia. The authors employed mixed methodology with an explanatory sequential design. Thus, this paper explored this narrative based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and external factors such as Performance Expectancy (PE) and Social Influence (SI). Using the partial least squares (PLS) approach, data from the 75 non-domestic students in Indonesia were analyzed. In addition, this paper also utilized in-depth interviews to gather further information from participants. The thematic analysis of the semi-structured interviews was conducted to explore the non-domestic students’ experience of using Indonesian FinTech.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the types and functions of verbal and non-verbal communication within an EFL classroom at SMA YPI Tunas Bangsa Palembang. A qualitative research methodology was employed for this study. The participants included a teacher and students from an English class, selected through purposive sampling. To collect data, the researchers utilized interviews and observations. Subsequently, the data gathered from the interviews and observations were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results indicated that two types of verbal communication are employed by the teacher: oral and written. In addition to verbal communication, teachers typically utilize a variety of non-verbal communication methods, including facial expressions, body language and posture, gestures, eye contact, appearance, touch, and personal space. Furthermore, two primary functions of verbal communication can be identified, while several functions of non-verbal communication can be categorized. In verbal communication, these functions are defined to explain concepts clearly and to enhance students’ understanding. Conversely, the functions of non-verbal communication can be categorized as follows: conveying emotional signals, regulating the teaching mood, maintaining classroom control, expressing appreciation, capturing students’ attention, enhancing students’ focus, providing motivation, and emphasizing key points.
