Abstract

This study examines the effect of finger puppet learning media on students’ speaking skills and self-confidence in English learning. Conducted at Muslim Suksa School in Southern Thailand, the research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental method using a nonequivalent control group design. The sample comprised 30 second-grade high school students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through pretest and posttest instruments adapted from previous studies and analyzed using descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing. The findings reveal a significant improvement in students’ speaking skills and self-confidence following the use of finger puppets. The mean score increased from 60.28 to 84.32, while the standard deviation decreased from 15.007 to 9.860. A paired samples t-test yielded a t-value of −10.635 with a significance level of 0.000 (p 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest results. These results suggest that finger puppet media effectively reduce students’ psychological barriers by creating a sense of distance between speakers and their audience, supporting authentic task-based learning, and fostering a more relaxed classroom atmosphere. Moreover, in Muslim school contexts, finger puppets can be culturally adapted to align with students’ religious values, thereby supporting learning while preserving local identity.

Abstract

Digital technology has reshaped English language learning by offering learners more personalized, interactive, and accessible practice, with Duolingo emerging as one of the most widely used gamified applications for developing reading skills. This study examined the effectiveness of Duolingo in enhancing English reading skills among seventh-grade students, with particular attention to reflective learning and feedback. A qualitative descriptive design was used, involving 35 students and one English teacher at SMP Muhammadiyah 01 Medan. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. Results suggest that students and the teacher perceived Duolingo positively, especially with its contribution to reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition and learning motivation, and also in relation to the fostering of more autonomous and introspective study practices. The application’s rapid feedback function allowed students to detect and self-correct their own reading errors, which further fostered a more thoughtful attitude to practice. This study implies Duolingo may serve as a beneficial supplemental tool for reading teaching, so long as teachers continue to push students toward deeper and more critical engagement with text.

Abstract

The advent of social media has profoundly influenced language evolution, introducing novel linguistic trends and emergent forms of communication.

First, it investigates how social media contributes to language change. Second, it examines the emergent of new forms of communication. Third, it assesses the positive and negative impacts of social media on language proficiency and literacy. The research aims to analyze the contribution of social media in language change, identifying new forms of communication, and evaluating their impact on language learning and literacy development. Utilizing a documentary design, this study systematically reviews existing literature on the subject, drawing from previous publications to provide a comprehensive overview of the ways in which social media shapes language use. The findings reveal that social media acts as a catalyst for linguistic innovation, while also presenting challenges and opportunities for language proficiency and literacy. This review contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationship between social media and language, offering insights into the ongoing evolution of communication in the digital age.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the presence, depth, and pedagogical implementation of ecolinguistic content in ESP textbooks at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara, and to explore how lecturers and students perceive this integration. The study is grounded in Stibbe’s ecolinguistic framework and draws on a qualitative case-study design. Using qualitative content analysis and thematic analysis of interview data from four ESP textbooks, four lecturers, and four students as informants, the study finds that environmental topics are present but limited in scope and largely confined to isolated units. The integration remains predominantly superficial and informative, with minimal reflective or transformative tasks that promote critical ecological reasoning or interdisciplinary engagement. Environmental discourse is not systematically embedded across language skills nor operationalized into communicative practices that foster sustainability awareness. Interview findings reveal varying levels of awareness and highlight institutional and material constraints affecting implementation. Overall, this confirms that ecolinguistic integration across the four textbooks remains shallow and disconnected from learners’ disciplinary needs. The study highlights the importance of pedagogical depth as a key criterion for evaluating ecolinguistic integration and underscores the need for structurally embedded, discipline-sensitive sustainability frameworks in ESP material development.
