Abstract

Speech acts are essential for effective communication, as they involve not just the content of a message but also how it is conveyed and understood by the listener. They play a crucial role in maintaining relationships between speakers and listeners. As a core aspect of pragmatics, speech acts help us interpret the meaning behind utterances, including apologies, requests, complaints, and other forms of communication.This study focuses on analyzing illocutionary, locutionary, and perlocutionary acts in the Monte Carlo movie using qualitative research. This approach relies on the researcher's expertise in analyzing data rather than on numerical or statistical information. In the movie, 69 locutionary acts are identified, where characters express ideas without necessarily expecting the listener to be convinced or take action. The film also features 173 illocutionary acts, with directives—commands or requests—being the most common. These acts are followed by 58 representative acts, in which characters assert beliefs to persuade the listener. Perlocutionary acts, which are the effects these speech acts have on the listener, often result from directive illocutionary acts. Sometimes, these lead to non-verbal responses, such as the listener rejecting the speaker's direction. The study highlights the significance of understanding these speech acts in communication.

Abstract

A common issue faced in the English study program is students' lack of understanding in listening, as evidenced by low scores in the listening section of the TOEFL test. Additionally, students often engage in activities requiring strong listening skills to comprehend speakers and interact effectively with others. To address this, researchers have chosen Spotify as a tool for enhancing listening skills due to its accessibility at any time and place. This study aimed to explore students' perceptions and development while using Spotify for listening practice. Utilizing qualitative methods and purposive sampling, as only a few students use Spotify, the findings revealed that most respondents strongly agreed or agreed that Spotify is an effective medium for improving their listening skills. Positive feedback from interview responses further supports the idea that Spotify is a suitable tool for listening practice. The study's results indicate that respondents have a positive perception of Spotify as a medium for listening practice, as it offers a wide variety of songs and podcasts across different genres. Respondents predominantly agreed that Spotify helps improve their English skills, particularly in listening and vocabulary, while also providing a comfortable and motivating environment for learning.

Abstract

In the era of global competition, enhancing English language skills is critical, and project-based learning (PjBL) presents a potential model to improve student engagement and language competence. This qualitative case study, conducted at SMPN 1 Jonggat in Central Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, examines English teachers' perceptions of PjBL, focusing on its effectiveness, challenges, and implementation strategies. Using a purposive sample of three English teachers who employ PjBL in their classrooms, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and close-ended questionnaires to capture detailed insights into teachers' attitudes and experiences with PjBL. Semi-structured interviews allowed for in-depth exploration of teachers' subjective experiences, while questionnaires provided structured data on specific aspects of PjBL’s implementation. Data were analyzed following Miles and Huberman's three-step process—data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification—to systematically interpret findings. This study contributes valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance English language teaching through PjBL, offering a framework for understanding both the benefits and challenges of PjBL from teachers’ perspectives in a secondary school context. Findings are expected to support improved teaching strategies and contribute to more effective English education practices.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the correlation between students' interest and their English learning outcomes among grade XI students at SMAN 5 Mataram, as well as to identify the factors influencing students' interest in learning English. The significance of English language competency in a global society highlights the need to understand the variables affecting students' interest in learning. Using a mixed-method approach, this study combines qualitative data from interviews with quantitative data from questionnaires and documentation of students' English grades. A total of 36 students from grade XI–7 were selected as the sample through simple random sampling. The results indicated that the majority of students (63.89%) had a moderate interest in studying English; however, 61.11% did not meet the minimum competency criteria in English language learning. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant correlation (r = 0.511, p = 0.001 < 0.05) between students' interest and their English learning outcomes. Factors such as student experience, motivation, teaching methods, the learning environment, and the social environment were identified as influences on students' interest in learning. This study concludes that increasing student interest can significantly enhance their English learning outcomes.
