This study investigates the distribution and challenges of verb inflection usage among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students at Tadulako University, focusing on regular verb inflection namely the use of suffixes such as -ed, -s, -ing, and -en suffixes as well as irregular verbs such as ablaut, suppletion, and zero modification in tenses and aspects. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through tests and questionnaires from 148 third-semester students. The analysis results show that regular verbs, especially the suffix -en, are more challenging for EFL students. Seven factors that influence the use of verb inflection were identified: 1) vocabulary limitations; 2) fear of making mistakes; 3) low motivation; 4) teaching methods and quality of instruction; 5) lack of practice; 6) classroom environment; and 7) peer influence.

Vocabulary mastery was assessed through Tests before and after, and students' motivation was measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire. The findings revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group by a substantial margin, achieving an average post-test score of 72.92, compared to 61.46 in the control group. There was a statistically significant change (p < 0.05), demonstrating the effectiveness of colored pictures in enhancing vocabulary mastery. Moreover, students with higher motivation in the experimental group was successful. Superior scores, with average of 75.30, compared to 69.10 for those with moderate motivation.

The research used a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental class that used Spotify and a control class that used traditional methods. The sample consisted of two eighth-grade classes chosen using purposive sampling. Data was collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure students' pronunciation before and after the treatment. The results showed that the average score of the experimental class improved significantly from 14.58 to 24.77, while the control class increased from 20.83 to 38.89. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test confirmed that the experimental class had a significant improvement (Z = -3.963, p = 0.000). However, the Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference between the experimental and control classes (p = 0.677). This means that while Spotify helped improve students’ pronunciation, it was not proven to be more effective than traditional teaching methods. In conclusion, using the Spotify application can help students improve their pronunciation, especially for the consonant sounds /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /θ/, and /ð/. Even though the improvement was not greater than the conventional method, Spotify still made learning more interesting and interactive for students.

English language proficiency is an essential skill in security services, particularly for security personnel (satpam) who frequently interact with foreign guests. This article describes an English training program for security supervisors as an empowerment strategy to enhance the quality of communication and security services. The training was conducted in the form of an interactive workshop using a Training for Trainers (ToT) approach, where security supervisors were trained to become effective tutors for the personnel under their supervision. The training materials covered basic communication in security contexts, English teaching techniques, and teaching practice through simulations and role-plays. Evaluation was carried out using pre-tests and post-tests to measure participants’ improvement in English proficiency and pedagogical skills. The results showed an increase in post-training scores in both communication and teaching abilities. This program is expected to generate a sustainable multiplier effect through internal training conducted by the security supervisors, thereby contributing to the overall improvement of professionalism and the quality of security services.
