Abstract

A lot of research has been conducted to examine the effect of gender differences on language learning motivation in various learning environment, yet the outcomes remain contradictory. This study investigates gender differences in 568 Indonesian senior high school students’ motivation to learn English online during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this quantitative enquiry, the data were collected using a motivational questionnaire containing a number of items indicating motivational components. One-way MANOVA was performed to examine not only the students’ overall motivation, but also the effect of gender differences on three motivational variables, namely instrumental orientation, self-efficacy beliefs, and self-regulation. The findings revealed that the students’ overall motivation differs by gender. Furthermore, it was indicated that, in general, female students possessed higher levels of motivation than male students in learning English online. The results support the growing stereotype claiming that female learners tend to outperform their male peers in language learning. The analyses on the motivational variables indicated that female students had higher level of instrumental orientation and they were more self-regulated compared to male students. In terms of their self-efficacy beliefs, no significant differences detected between male and female students in learning English online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Academic words include words that are not commonly encountered in formal circumstances and specific to particular fields of study. Undergraduate students of the English Department are required to acquire academic words in applied linguistics for academic reading and writing research articles. This paper reports on generating the academic word list for the students of the English Department by using AntConc, a concordance software application. In this study, corpus linguistic research was adopted, in particular the corpus-based analysis category. Data were gathered from approximately one thousand credible Applied Linguistics journal articles published from 2008 to 2021. AntConc software played a significant role in processing these data to get the intended corpus, which was then classified and categorized based on the frequency of occurrences. The results include an academic word list and its word family. These clusters of academic words are intended for undergraduate students of the English Department in the first up to fourth academic semesters to prepare them to participate in international academic discourse, such as writing and publishing research articles. This list can also be used as a basis for further research related to academic vocabulary.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic forced a rapid transition from face-to-face instruction to online learning across all school levels in Indonesia. For instance, one teacher at State Elementary School 005 Samarinda managed daily English lessons via a WhatsApp group - sending voice notes to explain vocabulary, relaying assignments through parents for students without smartphones, and staying online until late evening to answer students' questions. This study examines how English teachers at this school adapted to emergency remote teaching, focusing on their challenges, coping strategies, and professional development outcomes. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed to capture teachers lived experiences. Semi structured interviews were conducted with three English teachers during the 2020/2021 academic year. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of challenges, adaptation, and benefits Teachers reported significant obstacles, including limited digital literacy, unstable internet access, and reduced student engagement. Despite these barriers, the transition fostered professional development, particularly in digital competence and communication through platforms such as WhatsApp, Google Classroom, and Google Meet. The study concludes that while online learning disrupted established practices, it also acted as a catalyst for teacher resilience and technological growth. Continuous technical training and infrastructure support are recommended to strengthen preparedness for future blended learning environments. Previous studies have examined online learning broadly, but few focus on elementary English teachers in Samarinda. This research fills that gap by documenting localized experiences, offering insights into resilience and adaptation in resource‑limited contexts

Abstract

This study applied the Technology Acceptance Modes (TAM)framework to investigates university EFL students' acceptance of DeepL machine translation tool, focusing on how frequency of use influences their perceptions. A descriptive qualitative approach was used involving purposive sampling of four students in semi-structured interviews. A short questionnaire was administered beforehand to classify participants into two categories, two frequent and two infrequent DeepL users. of the machine translation tool DeepL in the context of learning English as Foreign Language (EFL), involving four participants (two frequent users and two infrequent users). The results showed that frequent users found DeepL valuable for vocabulary acquisition, translation accuracy, and academic writing support, whereas infrequent users highlighted limitations such as the lack of a paraphrasing feature and issues with formality. These differences suggest that usage frequency significantly impacts perceived usefulness and ease of use of the tool. This study is among the first to extend the TAM framework to a machine translation tool like DeepL, addressing a gap in MT research by examining the role of usage frequency. The findings offer both theoretical and practical significance, providing insights into how MT tools can be more effectively integrated into EFL learning.

This study aimed to find out 1) the vocabulary achievement of fourth grade students at SDN 006 Sungai Kunjang who are taught with using Dino animation videos, 2) the vocabulary achievement of fourth grade students at SDN 006 Sungai Kunjang who are taught without using Dino animation videos, and 3) whether there is any significant difference in the fourth grade students’ vocabulary achievement who are taught with and without using Dino animation videos. This study was quantitative research, which was classified as quasi- experimental research. This study used non- random sampling/ purposive and non- equivalent control group design, where the most common quasi experimental research is the comparison between (pre- test and post - test ) group control and group experimental design. The population of this study was the students at SDN 006 Sungai Kunjang, Samarinda. The total number of participants were 76 students from two classes (4B and 4C). The mean score of the experimental group was 58.3 (low) on Pre- test and 77.1(high) on Post - test and for control group was obtained 55.6 (low) on Pre- test and 65.4(average) on Post - test.
