Abstract

In human society, the need for interpersonal connection has given rise to the emergence of language. Beyond serving as a medium of communication, language functions as a vehicle for articulating emotions and conveying thoughts, with its use shaped by contextual and situational factors. This research seeks to examine the language styles engaged by students of the English Education Department at Mulawarman University, using Martin Joos’ (1976) theory and Holmes (2013) as sociolinguistic theory. The study investigates the categories of language styles used in students' speech and the factors influencing their choice of style. A qualitative method was applied, utilizing data from a recorded video interview and follow-up semi-structured interviews with two selected participants. Data analysis was undertaken using thematic analysis guided by Braun and Clarke (2006) framework. The findings reveal that three out of five language styles formulated by Joos—consultative, casual, and intimate—were used by the participants, with consultative style being the most dominant. Language style occurred primarily in academic contexts, especially when interacting with instructors or unfamiliar individuals. Factors influencing language style include the speaker, setting, topic, and function, in alignment with Holmes’ (1992) sociolinguistic theory. Furthermore, although participants often identified their style as “formal,” triangulation with Joos’ and Braund and Clarke theory revealed that their usage aligned as consultative features. These findings provide valuable insights into how language styles function in educational settings and highlight the importance of context in language use.

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

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill that significantly influences students academic success across all subjects, particularly in elementary school. The questioning patterns employed in elementary students' workbooks significantly influence reading comprehension skills by guiding learners through varying levels of cognitive engagement. This qualitative study aimed to analyze the types and patterns of questions in elementary workbooks and explore their alignment with students' cognitive development stages. Employing a case study approach, the research involved document analysis of 100 questions from workbooks for grades 3, 4, and 5, categorized into factual, inferential, and open ended types, alongside semi-structured interviews with three students (one per grade) to capture preferences and experiences. The results revealed a predominance of factual questions (50%), followed by inferential (30%) and open ended (20%), with grade-specific distributions: Grade 3 (65% factual, 25% inferential, 10% open ended), Grade 4 (50% factual, 35% inferential, 15% open ended), and Grade 5 (35% factual, 35% inferential, 30% open ended). Student preferences aligned with cognitive stages, with younger students favoring factual questions and older ones preferring inferential and open ended types. In conclusion, while workbooks provide foundational comprehension practice, the imbalance toward factual questions may limit higher order thinking development. The study contributes to improving the design of reading materials aligned with students’ cognitive development, recommending a more balanced distribution of question types to foster progressive cognitive growth in elementary education.
