Abstract

The objectives of this research were focused on English teachers’ perspectives on learner autonomy and to what extent English teachers felt their learners were autonomous in online reading comprehension in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. These research questions were answered by using observation, interview, and Likert-scale questionnaire in the form of qualitative method. The sample of this study was 26 English teachers in 4 elementary schools and 5 junior high schools in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The results of the study showed some points on learner autonomy, such as: (1) the importance of learner autonomy, (2) the way English teachers promoted learner autonomy, (3) the challenges and responsibilities of English teachers to implement learner autonomy, (4) English teachers’ observation to learners’ autonomy in online reading comprehension, (5) learners’ activities in online reading comprehension strategy, and (6) English teachers’ preparation in online reading comprehension class. This research concluded that the degree of learners’ autonomy during the pandemic was higher rather than before the COVID-19 pandemic due to some reasons.

Abstract

Vocabulary learning plays an important role in vocabulary acquisition, one possible way to achieve it is by using derivational suffixes. The purpose of the study is to know the students’ responses after they are taught with affixation strategy. The subject of this study is the students of Class IX-1 of SMP Santo Petrus Medan in the academic year of 2017/2018. This study is conducted by applying descriptive qualitative research and in the form of survey research. (The instruments of collecting data are quantitative data (questionnaire) and qualitative data (field notes). The result of questionnaire shows that most of the students choose item Strongly Agree whose percentage is 85.79% and item Agree whose percentage is 14.20%. This finding proves that the students’ learning behavior changed positively, that is, their attitude and motivation heightened significantly by using derivational suffixes strategy to teach vocabulary. The data of students’ morphological awareness response of the use of derivational suffixes shows that: (1) Affixation helps to remember English vocabulary better, (2) Affixation helps connect vocabulary with its meaning, (3) Affixation helps to develop vocabulary, (4) Affixation helps to recognize noun, verb, adjective, and adverb, (5) Affixation helps to separate form and meaning between root and affix, (6) The rules of affixation make students understand the good spelling of vocabulary,  and (7) Affixation supports English learning. These indicate that there is a significant improvement of the students’ vocabulary mastery through derivational suffixes strategy of Class IX-1 of SMP Santo Petrus Medan in the academic year of 2017/2018.

Abstract

This research examined systematic errors in pseudo-complement clauses and extraposition. The errors included subject-raising issues, verb-complement mismapping, nominalization drift, and filler-gap confusion. These were found in the English writing of Indonesian elementary school students in Medan, North Sumatra and Manado, North Sulawesi. The research used a cognitive syntax framework and applied a qualitative multiple-case study design. Data were collected through free-writing prompts. The findings revealed frequent clause misformations. Common patterns included overuse of “It is + Verb + That/To” constructions, blending of that/to clauses, mislearned subject raising, and poor control of nonfinite clauses. These errors reflected deeper cognitive struggles. Students had difficulty managing clause control, syntactic focus, and verb-complement alignment. The issues were partly influenced by L1 transfer and rote use of lexical chunks. Many students tried to express abstract ideas without sufficient syntactic mastery. These were not isolated mistakes, but signs of developing syntactic representation. The research emphasized the need for clause-based instruction. Such instruction can support both conceptual understanding and grammatical development. The implications for early writing pedagogy and future developmental studies in bilingual contexts were also discussed

Abstract

This research explored the development of an interactive multimedia-based English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program designed to enhance English proficiency and career guidance at UPMI Medan. It addressed a notable discrepancy between theoretical frameworks and practical needs in ESP, as students increasingly demanded courses that integrated both oral and written communication skills with job-related tasks. Applying the Kemp instructional design model, the research used a comprehensive multi-phase approach: assessing student proficiency levels, identifying instructional needs, designing tailored ESP content for Business Administration, Tourism, and Public Speaking, and incorporating multimedia platforms such as Udemy and Gaminik. Key findings revealed that 40% of students prioritized mastering business correspondence, 58% sought improved communication skills for meetings, and 48% were interested in tourism-specific English. The research highlighted the effectiveness of flipped learning and interactive multimedia in overcoming vocabulary challenges and boosting engagement. Ultimately, it emphasized the need to integrate career-focused modules into ESP courses to better align language skills with career aspirations, thereby enhancing employability and professional readiness.

Abstract

This study redefined English listening comprehension in the Indonesian EFL context by analyzing the interpretive challenges posed by ellipsis repair, boundary overrun, and disfluent clause markers features that were often overlooked in pedagogical models. Ellipsis repair referred to a listener’s attempt to reconstruct omitted elements in spontaneous speech, often caused by speakers backtracking or self-correcting mid-utterance. Boundary overrun described a speaker’s tendency to extend or blur syntactic units across intonation or clause boundaries, which made real-time parsing difficult. Disfluent clause markers included fillers, false starts, and hesitations that interrupted clause structure and challenged linear meaning construction. Conducted at three private universities in Indonesia located on Medan (North Sumatra), Manado (North Sulawesi), and Makassar (South Sulawesi), the research involved pre-intermediate-level students who engaged with authentic spoken English data. Using a qualitative discourse-based approach, the study examined comprehension breakdowns through think-aloud protocols and clause-level analysis. Findings revealed that listener difficulties were not incidental but structurally rooted in disrupted syntax and prosody. These disruptions challenged students’ ability to construct coherent meaning in real time. The study highlighted the need for instructional models that developed interpretive resilience, not just lexical decoding. It called for a shift toward listening pedagogies attuned to spontaneous speech, structural ambiguity, and repair negotiation. The findings offered implications for EFL curriculum design, assessment development, and real-world communication training across Indonesian educational contexts.

Abstract

The present research evaluated EFL perspectives about contextual clues in reading comprehension at different proficiency levels. The data analysis using qualitative descriptions with frequencies and percentages was employed for 38 intermediate-level students and 25 advanced-level students in the university level through teaching contextual clues in reading comprehension with an experimental design. The results proved that students' proficiency in reading ability could be demonstrated by their use of idiomatic expressions, indirect language, direct language, series of words, comparison, synonym, tone, situation, mood, reference, restatement, preposition, cause-effect, modification, and example. Advanced students with a high level of vocabulary, grammar, and decoding skills were better able to utilize many contextual clues than intermediate students. Thus, reading ability was strongly correlated with the ability to infer word meaning from contextual clues.

Abstract

This research focused on complex conditional sentences in the Christian bible, employing truth-conditional semantics and syntactic analysis to uncover their theological messages. A qualitative study analyzed 20 verses, categorized into four types of conditional sentences according to Ferdinand de Saussure's syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. It involved word analysis, structural classification, context correlation, synonymous exploration, and historical and theological consideration. The findings revealed several key insights. First, conditional sentences in the Christian bible predominantly featured compound-complex structures with an active voice, highlighting subjects and actions in religious verses. Second, they adhered to declarative formats, aligning with truth-telling principles in religious contexts. Third, complex structures and subordinate clauses conveyed conditional details, reasons, and situations, elaborating on the interplay between syntax and semantics. This research enriched our understanding of the relationship among verb forms, modal verbs, and diverse meanings within English conditional sentence types in the Christian bible. Fourth, this research had a significant social impact on human development from a theological perspective by enhancing spiritual growth, critical thinking, and ethical understanding. It promoted personal transformation and reflective faith, providing religious leaders with tools to interpret scripture more accurately. Additionally, the research clarified how biblical language communicated moral imperatives, supported ethical frameworks, and facilitated interfaith dialogue. Preserving theological heritage contributed to the holistic development of individuals and communities. Ultimately, this study aimed to ensure the Bible's relevance in shaping social behavior aligned with Christian teachings.

Abstract

This study investigated the prevalence and types of rhetorical fallacies in the argumentative sections of English education theses, despite overall grammatical accuracy. Drawing on Toulmin’s argument model, cognitive reasoning theories, and nexus-juncture analysis, three-fifty undergraduate theses from three universities in Indonesia were analyzed qualitatively. Common fallacies such as hasty generalization, false cause, strawman, circular reasoning, and either/or reasoning were identified and mapped onto Toulmin’s components (claims, warrants, backing, rebuttals). Findings revealed that students demonstrated competency in grammatical structures but often lacked logical consistency in their arguments which led to flawed reasoning that undermined their thesis statements. The findings recommended that integrating rhetorical fallacy identification into writing instruction could improve both the clarity and validity of student arguments. This study highlighted the need for focused pedagogical strategies to address both grammar and reasoning skills in argumentative writing to promote effective and persuasive academic communication in English education.
