Abstract

English language proficiency is a critical competency for university students in Indonesia, serving as a gateway to academic achievement, global engagement, and professional advancement. Despite its importance, limited empirical data exist on students' actual proficiency levels, especially through mobile-based assessments designed to reflect real-world language use in context. This study investigates the English proficiency of Indonesian undergraduate students using the EnglishScore mobile application—an internationally recognized assessment tool that differs from traditional exams like TOEFL or IELTS by offering short, adaptive, and skills-specific tests accessible via smartphones. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive design, the study assessed 1.216 students from various departments on grammar, vocabulary, reading, and listening, aligned with CEFR standards. Results show that 55% of students are at A1, 28% at A2, 12% at B1, and only 3% at B2. These findings reveal a substantial gap between expected and actual proficiency levels after years of formal instruction. The research highlights the urgent need for universities to adopt communicative, proficiency-oriented curricula and leverage mobile-based diagnostics to inform instruction. Mobile tools like EnglishScore, which mirror authentic language use by simulating everyday communicative tasks, offer scalable, low-barrier alternatives for assessment. This study contributes to the underexplored area of digital language testing in Indonesia and provides actionable insights for policymakers and educators to enhance language learning strategies through technology-informed policy and pedagogy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the patterns, functions, and impacts of code switching in Raymond Chin’s podcast episode entitled “Indonesian Schools Are Broken, This Is the Radical Fix.” The research focuses on identifying the dominant types of code switching used, how they function in conveying messages, and the communicative impact on the audience. The theory of code switching patterns is based on Poplack (1980), the functional classification adopts Hoffmann’s framework, and the impacts of code switching used Das's theory. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with documentation and transcription as data collection techniques. The data were analyzed by categorizing code-switching occurrences and interpreting their functions in the context of the conversation. The results show that the most dominant pattern used is intra-sentential switching, reflecting the speakers’ natural bilingual ability. The primary function of code switching was to express social identity and adapt to the context. The impact observed was the demonstration of a multilingual identity and enhanced audience engagement. These findings highlight the role of code switching as a communicative strategy in modern digital media and how it reflects broader aspects of language and society.
