Abstract

The correlation between morphological awareness and vocabulary mastery is a crucial area of investigation within language education. Understanding this relationship is important because it can inform effective teaching strategies that enhance vocabulary acquisition among students. Research shows a general link between morphological awareness and vocabulary mastery but lacks focus on specific educational stages. This study addresses that gap by examining fourth-semester students in the English Education Study Program at Artha Wacana Christian University, who have just completed their morphology course, to see how well they apply this knowledge to improve their vocabulary. Thus, the researcher formulate the research problem as follow: Is there any correlation between morphological awareness and vocabulary mastery of fourth-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Artha Wacana Christian University? The research utilized a quantitative approach with a correlation study design. Morphological awareness tests and vocabulary level tests were administered to a sample of 20 fourth-semester students. The findings revealed a correlation coefficient (rxy) of 0.802, which exceeds the 5% and 1% levels of significance, indicating a very high correlation between the two variables. These results suggest that enhancing morphological awareness could be an effective strategy for improving vocabulary mastery. Therefore, educators should consider incorporating morphological awareness activities into their teaching practices to support vocabulary development in their students

Abstract

This article explores the application of the deep learning approach in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at the secondary school level, focusing on integrating mindful learning, meaningful learning, and joyful learning. This study uses a descriptive-analytical theoretical study method by reviewing literature from various scientific sources. The analysis results reveal that the basic principles of deep learning include deep cognitive engagement, contextual connections, and metacognitive reflection, which complement each other to create a deep and meaningful learning experience. In addition, the three learning concepts, mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning, contribute to a holistic approach to language learning, enhancing students' linguistic abilities and building emotional resilience and cultural awareness. The proposed adaptation strategies include the implementation of project-based assignments, gradual scaffolding with affective support, cross-curricular theme integration, and the use of responsive technologies. However, challenges such as exam-oriented curriculum, student resistance to reflective methods, and limitations in teacher training need to be addressed to support the effective implementation of this approach. The theoretical implications of this study pave the way for the recontextualization of constructivist theory and the development of holistic assessment models in language education. This article provides new insights into how innovative approaches can improve the quality of EFL learning and its relevance in facing the challenges of an increasingly complex global world.

Abstract

This article is an ecclesionomatic study in the framework of linguistics landscape discussing the categories and language of church names in Kupang city, Indonesia. Data were obtained from signboards in Kupang City through photographic techniques in September 2021. The results showed that the names of churches in the city of Kupang were divided into 7 categories, namely biblical terms, names of people, names of places, churches as residences, topographic, names of plants and animals. From the language used, there are 7 languages ​​in the church name, namely Indonesian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, English, Aramaic, and Dawan languages. The use of a foreign language other than English in church names is not related to literacy or congregational culture but has a symbolic function that contains values ​​and ideology because these names are taken from the Bible and have meaning. Meanwhile, English follows developments and shows the internationality of the church. In addition, the Dawan language is the only language used in the name of the church to show the locality of culture and as a marker of identity in the area.
