Abstract

Effective language learning requires a variety of traits, but three things are absolutely necessary: motivation, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension. This study investigates the complex relationships between the motivation of senior high school students and their comprehension of reading and listening. The goal of the study is to determine whether there is a substantial correlation between students' motivation to read and listen comprehension and their actual reading and comprehension scores. To do this, a quantitative research approach employs surveys and standardized reading and listening comprehension exams. A random selection of fifty senior high school pupils was made from one of Bontang's private schools. Through data analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient, the direction and strength of the relationship between motivation and listening and reading comprehension were determined. The findings show that while reading comprehension and listening comprehension have a strong link, students' motivation for listening and reading comprehension does not have a significant influence.

Abstract

This study explored the perceptions of pre-service EFL students regarding the role of drama play in enhancing their speaking fluency. Speaking fluency is a critical skill for Indonesian EFL learners, particularly for those preparing to be educators. Despite the integration of drama-based learning in language education many existing methods focus on memorization and scripted dialogues, which may not adequately foster spontaneous speaking skills. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach and collects data using semi-structured interviews and journals from pre-service teachers in Samarinda. The study found that drama play significantly enhanced students’ confidence, vocabulary, and pronunciation. However, while scripted drama enhances structured speech fluency, they did not significantly improve students' ability to engage in spontaneous conversations. In contrast, improvisational elements of drama play were perceived as more effective in promoting real-time communicative competence. This study highlights the need for a balanced approach that integrates both scripted and unscripted drama techniques to optimize speaking fluency in EFL education. These findings provide valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers focused on developing strategies to improve learners’ communicative skills in English.

Abstract

This study investigates how students in the English Department at Mulawarman University use Twitter as an informal platform to improve their English communication skills. Unlike traditional classrooms, Twitter offers a relaxed, real-time environment where students interact in English through tweets, slang, memes, and interactions with classmates. Using a qualitative narrative research approach, data were collected from six students and one instructor through semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed three main findings: students learn English informally through daily practice and self-motivation; they adapt to a flexible communication style influenced by online slang and global discourse; and they benefit from peer interactions that provide feedback, vocabulary models, and confidence-building. This study concludes that Twitter functions not only as a social media tool but also as a dynamic space for authentic, self-directed, and culturally embedded language learning. Unlike previous studies that focus on the formal integration of social media in education, this research highlights the non-academic motivations driving meaningful engagement with English. While acknowledging limitations such as deliberate sampling and digital access, this study offers new insights into how digital platforms support socio-linguistic language development. The research recommends further investigation into long-term impacts and broader student populations to understand the educational value of informal digital learning environments.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges that pre-service teachers face when developing interactive video assessments, with a focus on the technological, pedagogical and psychological aspects involved. While interactive videos have been shown to increase student engagement, some pre-service teachers struggle to create them. Three English education students from Mulawarman University were purposefully selected for the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed technical challenges like unstable internet and delayed AI. Pedagogical challenges such as teachers relied heavily on AI, and limiting creativity. Psychological challenges when participants did not trust the accuracy of AI or the grammar of AI-generated questions, necessitating additional scrutiny. Despite these challenges, the study showed that participants transitioned from passively accepting the AI's output to actively adapting and refining it. This demonstrates that, when teachers take ownership of the contextualisation of materials, interactive video assessments can be effective, provided they are supported by thorough training in digital pedagogy and AI literacy.

Abstract

This study is an attempt to address the issue of how extensive reading (ER) as a supplementary reading approach is able to encourage students’ critical literacy. Further, how ER influences students’ perception of critical literacy related to students’ viewpoint of the texts is examined thoroughly. ER in this study was employed as a supplementary reading activity where students were engaged to read in a large number of materials on a wide range of topics and they had freedom to select the reading material based on its relevance to their interests, knowledge, and experience (Day & Bamford, 2002). Relating the characteristics of ER, it seemed to us that students’ understanding of the text through ER activity should be scrutinized as one important aspect in English language teaching (ELT). In order to get more comprehensive picture, questionnaires were distributed to 38 students in the class. Yet, only 3 (three) students were willing to return the questionnaire and to be interviewed based on their answers in the questionnaire. The findings revealed that ER is evidenced to motivate students to approach texts critically, challenge taken knowledge, relate the texts to world’s issues, improve their awareness of how to see and understand human beings, and question the intention of the texts from distinct viewpoints.Keywords: extensive reading, critical literacy development, EFL

Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a major challenge for students learning English as a foreign language. It often arises from fear of making mistakes, limited vocabulary, poor pronunciation, and the pressure of being judged. This study explores how English Education students at Mulawarman University experience and manage speaking anxiety. Using a qualitative design with semi-structured interviews involving three participants, data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in causes, triggers, and coping strategies. The findings reveal that anxiety is most intense during formal tasks such as presentations or spontaneous questioning. Students adopt strategies like self-practice, note preparation, breathing techniques, self-recording, and peer support to reduce anxiety. These approaches gradually enhance confidence and improve speaking performance. The study concludes that emotional and instructional support from teachers and peers significantly reduces anxiety levels. Implications suggest that educators should foster supportive classroom environments and integrate reflective speaking practices to help students overcome fear and participate actively in English communication.

Abstract

Merdeka Mengajar Platform (MMP) was released to support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. While this platform aims to improve teacher competence and learning effectiveness, research into the extent to which English teachers adopt and practice MMP is limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze English teacher's beliefs and practices in implementing MMP, identify the alignment and misalignment between beliefs and practices, identify the challenges faced, and explore the strategies used in adapting teaching practices to MMP principles. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of learning documents. The results showed that English teacher has a positive belief in MMP as a useful tool in improving pedagogical skills, facilitating differentiated learning, and enriching teaching methods. However, there were challenges in implementing MMP include low active student participation, limited facility support, and varying levels of teacher understanding of the platform. To overcome these challenges, the English teacher applied strategies such as the use of diverse learning media, differentiated assessments, and intensive communication with parents. The results of this study confirm the need for continuous support in the form of professional training and provision of adequate infrastructure to optimize the use of MMP. Further studies are recommended to examine the long-term impact of MMP on teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes in English language learning.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how two young EFL learners who are siblings demonstrate metacognitive awareness. A case study design was employed, incorporating interviews, observation checklists, and field notes to gather data. The participants were two young EFL learners studying in a private course. The older learner (FZ) is 12 years old and is a seventh-grade student, while the younger one (GV) is 10 years old and is in the fifth grade. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results found that both students demonstrated metacognitive knowledge in declarative, procedural, and conditional types. In metacognitive regulation, the types that mainly occurred were monitoring, debugging, and evaluating. Findings declared that both participants demonstrated metacognitive awareness in EFL learning, including metacognitive knowledge (declarative, procedural, and conditional) and regulation (monitoring, debugging, and evaluation). Despite some shared patternsparticularly in metacognitive knowledgethe older learner showed more structured, reasonable, and consistent patterns in the overall awareness, while the younger learner showed more spontaneous and reactive patterns.
