Abstract

Understanding listening skills is vital in language learning, yet many students struggle with it, partly due to low metacognitive awareness. This research emphasizes the importance of metacognitive awareness in language learning, specifically in listening comprehension. Students often face challenges due to low metacognitive awareness, affecting their ability to plan, monitor, and evaluate listening strategies. The urgency of this study lies in enhancing listening skills through improved metacognitive training, which can aid in effective listening comprehension and overall academic performance. By identifying these areas of need, educators can better tailor teaching methods and curricula to foster more active and reflective listening in students, ultimately benefiting their language learning journey. This study aims to investigate the relationship between metacognitive awareness and listening comprehension among high school students. Conducted in two classes with a total of 39 students, the research employed a quantitative design using the “Metacognitive Awareness Inventory for Listening (MAIL)” and a “Listening Comprehension Test.” Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests to compare scores between the two classes. Results indicated no significant differences in metacognitive awareness (p = 0.638) and listening comprehension (p = 0.431) between the two groups. These findings suggest that other contextual factors, beyond metacognitive awareness, may influence listening comprehension. Further research is recommended to explore these additional factors and their impact on students’ listening skills and metacognitive strategies in educational contexts.

Abstract

Indonesian students continue encounter difficulties when it comes to reading English academic materials as English is their foreign language. The study aims to explore the reading strategies employed by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in order to improve their reading comprehension and to determine whether a significant correlation exists between reading strategies and reading comprehension. The study involved 60 participants from one senior high school in Batam, Indonesia. The study utilized Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS) and reading comprehension test. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was performed to determine the normality of the data distribution while Pearson correlation was utilized to investigate the interrelation among the variables. The results showed that students most commonly employed problem-solving strategies when reading and there was a significant correlation between reading strategy and reading comprehension. The findings suggest that students who employ a variety of reading strategies, including problem-solving strategies, support reading strategies, and global reading strategies, perform better on reading comprehension assessments. The study made a significant addition to the field of English language teaching by highlighting the need of raising EFL students’ awareness and teaching them proper reading strategy for comprehending scholarly texts.

Abstract

Speaking is a critical communication skill that requires real-time cognitive and metacognitive processes. Metacognitive strategies, including planning, monitoring, and evaluation, have been recognized for their role in enhancing language skills and fostering learner autonomy. Despite extensive studies on language learning strategies, their specific impact on speaking proficiency remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the role of metacognitive strategies in improving the speaking skills of first-semester students. It also seeks to explore how these strategies can foster learner autonomy and reduce speaking-related anxiety. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 30 first semester EFL students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received explicit training in metacognitive strategies, while the control group followed traditional speaking practices. The results revealed significant improvements in the experimental group’s speaking proficiency, particularly in fluency, pronunciation, and vocabulary use. The experimental group also demonstrated higher levels of self-awareness and confidence compared to the control group. These outcomes substantiate the effectiveness of metacognitive strategies in enhancing speaking skills and promoting learner autonomy. This study concludes that integrating metacognitive strategies into speaking instruction benefits learners by improving speaking proficiency and reducing anxiety. Incorporating these strategies into teaching practices can support learners in achieving greater autonomy and confidence in language acquisition.

Abstract

The development of critical listening skills is essential for university students to engage effectively with complex academic content, fostering higher-order thinking and problem-solving abilities. Critical listening involves actively analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information. This study explores the integration of cognitive and metacognitive strategies to enhance critical listening among third-semester students. Cognitive strategies focus on mental processes, while metacognitive strategies involve self-regulation and reflection. Multimedia tools, particularly short videos, offer dynamic platforms to facilitate active engagement and critical thinking. Research suggests that multimedia learning increases metacognitive awareness and deepens cognitive processing. The study further examines discovery learning's role, which emphasizes metacognitive strategies to promote autonomous learning and critical thinking. Despite growing interest in multimedia's impact on language learning, limited research addresses the integration of short videos with cognitive and metacognitive strategies for developing critical listening. This study aims to fill this gap by highlighting the potential of multimedia-supported strategies to enhance students' critical listening competence, fostering their academic success and reflective learning processes.

Abstract

In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, communicative competence remains a crucial goal for higher education students. However, the roles of learning strategies—particularly metacognitive and socio-affective strategies in shaping communicative competence are still underexplored. This study aims to examine the predictive relationship between students’ use of metacognitive and socio-affective strategies and their overall communicative competence. Employing a quantitative approach with multiple regression analysis, data were collected from 120 EFL university students using standardized questionnaires. The findings revealed that socio-affective strategies significantly predicted students’ communicative competence, while metacognitive strategies did not demonstrate a significant effect. The results suggest that emotional regulation, interpersonal interaction, and social support are essential components in enhancing students’ ability to communicate effectively in English. This research contributes to applied linguistics and EFL pedagogy by emphasizing the importance of socio-affective dimensions in language learning and advocating for strategy-based instruction in classrooms. In terms of practical contribution, the study offers insights for language educators and curriculum developers to design more holistic and student-centered teaching strategies that promote not only linguistic knowledge but also emotional engagement and communicative confidence among students.

Abstract

This research explores the application of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in analyzing, which is the main character development in the Turning Red movie (2022) and the implications for character education. By analyzing the main character “Meilin Lee’s” psychological growth, this research aims to show how Maslow’s theory can be applied into educational settings, especially in understanding student motivation, identity formation, and the social interactions. By using a qualitative descriptive method, this study conducts the main character analysis through a close examination of the movie’s narrative, dialogues, and character interactions. Every data was collected through repeated observations and thematic analysis, aligning Mei’s experiences with Maslow’s five levels of needs: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. The research findings reveal that this movie reflects the gradual fulfillment of these needs, with significant emphasis on self-acceptance, resilience, and social belonging. Her struggles with family expectations and personal identity illustrate key psychological challenges faced by adolescents. Also, this study suggests that Turning Red can serve as an engaging educational tool for teaching psychological concepts and character development in formal and informal learning environments. The collaboration of movies in educational curricula may enhance students' understanding of their self-growth, emotional intelligence, and social adaptation.
