Abstract

This study analyzes the Use of fillers in spoken discourse videos by students of the English Language Education Study Program at Gorontalo State University (UNG). The purpose is to identify the types of fillers used and the factors that influence their Use. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through analysis of students' video assignments, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the most frequently used fillers were unlexicalized (e.g., "um", "uh"), compared to lexicalized fillers (e.g., "so", "okay"). The main factors that influence the Use of fillers in spoken discourse video assignments are Inadequate preparation time, Divided attention, Filling the Void with Fillers, and Emphasis on Speaking. This study also revealed that fillers can be used in constructing sentences and maintaining fluency in communication even though they are considered to interfere with fluency. Pedagogical implications include teaching communication strategies to improve fluency and reducing excessive Use of fillers through speaking preparation and managing nervousness.

Abstract

This study examines the use of lexical reiteration in the academic writing of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students at Gorontalo State University. Lexical reiteration, encompassing repetition, synonyms and near-synonyms, superordinates, and general words, is crucial for maintaining cohesion and coherence in texts. Using Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) cohesion theory, this research analyzes various academic texts produced by fifth-semester students. The findings reveal that repetition is the most frequently used type of reiteration, followed by synonyms and near-synonyms, general words, and superordinates. However, a major issue identified is the excessive reliance on repetition, resulting in monotonous writing. This problem stems from a limited academic vocabulary and inadequate knowledge of cohesive devices. As a result, students struggle to create well-structured and engaging academic texts. This study highlights the need for expanding vocabulary and improving students’ understanding of lexical cohesion to enhance their writing quality. By addressing these challenges, educators can help students develop more varied and effective academic writing skills. These findings contribute to discussions on improving EFL students’ writing proficiency, particularly in terms of lexical cohesion and coherence.

Abstract

This study investigates the Sentence structure utilization in English academic writing courses of students in ELESP. This study utilizes a descriptive qualitative method with a cross-sectional design to describe the sentence structure utilization between students from the 2020 and 2021 academic years. The results convey that students' command of sentence structures exhibits both promising aspects and areas requiring substantial improvement. The most prominent pattern observed is the heavy reliance on simple and compound sentences in academic writing tasks. Furthermore, the study has uncovered a significant correlation between sentence structure variety and sentence structure problems in their academic writing. However, many students tend to fall back on familiar patterns, resulting in monotonous writing that fails to effectively capture the nuances of academic argumentation. The findings reveal that students of both academic years could construct sentences, but were only able to compose simple and compound sentences when compiling their writing assignments. Therefore, this study provides pedagogical implications for academic writing students, underscores the development of students’ sentence structure competency, and the learning process to facilitate the students with the proper educational resources.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Role Play technique as an active learning strategy in improving the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at MTs Al-Huda Gorontalo. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants of the study were 24 students of Class VII-B in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through speaking tests administered before and after the treatment. The speaking assessment covered fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, and comprehensibility using a rubric adapted from Brown (2004). The treatment was conducted in six meetings through structured, semi-guided, and open-ended role play activities based on daily communication contexts. The results showed that students’ speaking skills improved significantly after the implementation of the Role Play technique. The mean score increased from 48.55 in the pre-test to 63.36 in the post-test. In addition, students became more confident, active, and fluent in expressing ideas orally. The paired sample t-test indicated that the improvement was statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Therefore, Role Play was found to be effective in improving students’ speaking skills and creating a more interactive and communicative learning environment.
