Abstract

Grammar is central in language learning and acquisition. Learning a foreign language means learning how the sentences are correctly formed and function. In that process, several skills are required to learn with no exception the knowledge of grammar. In addition to that, having an adequate amount of interest can influence the grammar learning outcome. With that consideration, this study aimed to examine the knowledge of simple tenses of fourteen first-year English Education students in one of Indonesia universities and to investigate whether their learning interests have a significant role in their performance. The data were collected through observation, a test, and a close-ended interview, and were analyzed through a descriptive quantitative method. The results of the test show that students’ grammar competence was inadequate. Several factors were identified as the causes for such findings. However, they showed a great interest in learning the language which can be a starting point for future improvement.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of grammatical cohesion in the argumentative essays written by Indonesian English as a Foreign Language students. Cohesion, a crucial component of textual coherence, ensures that discourse elements are logically connected, thereby enhancing the readability and comprehensibility of written texts. By analyzing a corpus of 7 students’ essays, this research identifies the frequency and types of cohesive devices employed while at the same time observing the coherence built through the use of these devices using Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) cohesion conceptual framework. The findings demonstrate prevalent patterns where the reference devices were used more frequently than conjunctive devices. It suggests that the lack of understanding of grammatical cohesion can lead to potential challenges for learners in utilizing cohesive mechanisms effectively.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the understanding and skills of the Dani indigenous community in Merauke Regency in utilizing social media as a marketing tool for local agricultural products. The program was implemented through training activities involving 10 female participants (mama-mama) who work as agricultural produce traders. The digital marketing training was conducted in four stages: observation, preparation, training, and evaluation. To measure the effectiveness of the program, participants were administered pre-test and post-test assessments. The evaluation results show an increase in participants’ average scores from 65 in the pre-test to 78 in the post-test, indicating a significant improvement in their understanding of digital marketing concepts. This training not only provided technical knowledge but also contributed to community economic empowerment through enhanced digital literacy. The findings demonstrate that practice-based and contextual training is effective in strengthening the capacity of local communities to respond to the challenges of the digital economy.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery remains one of the most persistent challenges for EFL learners, particularly when closely related words carry different meanings across registers, a problem that intensifies in register-dense professional genres. This qualitative study aims to identify the types of lexical relations used by an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) speaking teacher while clarifying vocabulary for her students, and to describe the discourse strategies accompanying those clarifications. A case study design was employed, with the ESP teacher and her speaking class of undergraduate Law students preparing curriculum vitae (CV) and job-interview materials as the research subject. Data were collected through a 100-minute non-participant classroom observation, video recording, and a semi-structured interview, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. Consistent with this aim, the results show that the teacher's talk fully realized seven of the eight categories of lexical relations proposed by Yule (2020), namely synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, prototype effects, polysemy, metonymy, and collocation, while the eighth category, homophones and homonyms, was only partially represented through two instances of homonymy, with no instances of homophones identified in the data. These relations were embedded within a recurring routine of elicitation, code-switching, contrastive restatement, and exemplification. These findings imply that a single, register-dense ESP topic can be strategically leveraged to teach a wide range of lexical relations. It is concluded that explicit, context-sensitive vocabulary clarification supports learners' precision of meaning in specialized professional communication.
