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 explored how integrating fake news deconstruction, narrative reframing, and editorial simulation enhanced critical media ethics in EFL classrooms. Moving beyond conventional language instruction, it positioned English learning as a site of ideological negotiation and epistemic responsibility. Thirty education students as teacher candidates in North Sumatra engaged in an eight-week task-based curriculum analyzing ethically problematic texts drawn from real-world media. Guided by systemic functional linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and appraisal theory, students rewrote distorted headlines, clarified vague attributions, and reconstructed visual-caption misalignments. Findings revealed that students developed rhetorical precision, ethical awareness, and stylistic maturity, transforming from passive consumers into critical and active media agents. By combining language learning with civic literacy, this study proposed a replicable model for ethical pedagogy in digital times, foregrounding truth-validation, genre critique, and linguistic agency as core components of 21st-century EFL education.

Abstract

This study investigated linguistic racism in Indonesian EFL classrooms, where Standard English dominated and marginalized regional linguistic identities. Employing Critical Race Theory, raciolinguistics, and postcolonial applied linguistics, it analyzed observations, interviews, and discourse from three junior high schools in Medan. Findings revealed that regional accents and non-standard grammar were policed, corrected, and ridiculed, fostering internalized hierarchies that equated fluency with whiteness and global prestige. English-only policies and Anglo-American curricular content further silenced diverse voices, perpetuating colonial language gatekeeping. Emotional harm, identity suppression, and peer surveillance exacerbated students’ withdrawal and conformity pressures. Nevertheless, students resisted through translanguaging, code-switching, parody, and peer support, asserting hybrid identities and challenging hegemonic norms. The study called for pedagogical reforms embracing culturally responsive and inclusive approaches that validated multilingualism, dismantled linguistic hierarchies, and promoted equitable English learning. This shift was vital to transform classrooms from sites of exclusion to spaces where diverse linguistic identities were empowered.

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.
