Abstract

The cartoon Dora the Explorer is a work that combines bilingual elements, where Indonesian, English, and French are used simultaneously to support children's language learning. This study aims to examine the influence of cartoons on linguistic growth in children aged 2-6 years using a psycholinguistic approach. Psycholinguistics was used to study the development of children's linguistic growth after watching the cartoon Dora the Explorer, with a focus on the processes of language comprehension and production that occur within them. Cartoons often feature engaging visual elements and simple dialogue, making them an effective medium for introducing language to children. Through an analysis of the interaction between film content and children's cognitive development, the study explores how elements such as characters, stories, and phrase repetition can enhance speaking, listening, and linguistic understanding skills. Using observational methods and interviews, data were collected from children who regularly watch cartoons and their caregivers. The study indicates that Dora the Explorer encompasses various aspects of linguistic growth and social interaction. Additionally, results show that children exposed to cartoons acquire new vocabulary significantly faster and demonstrate improved communication abilities. These findings highlight the importance of selecting appropriate media to support early language learning processes and provide recommendations for parents and educators to utilize cartoons as effective learning tools.

Abstract

This study investigates the process of English-speaking habituation among EFL students in a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in East Java, Indonesia. Recognizing the growing importance of English in global communication, the research explores how pesantren-based programs support students in developing practical speaking skills within a religious and sociocultural context. Using an exploratory case study design and rely on Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development, data were collected through institutional documents, interviews with curriculum administrators, and participatory observation at the Foreign Language Development Institute (LPBA) of Pondok Pesantren Nurul Jadid. Findings reveal that structured initiatives such as Native Day and Level Mentoring play a crucial role in fostering immersion, peer-led learning, and confidence in using English. Students demonstrated adaptive strategies for negotiating meaning in English while managing interference from local languages like Madurese and Indonesian. The study highlights how consistency, learner autonomy, and institutional support contribute significantly to speaking proficiency. These insights offer practical implications for designing culturally responsive English curricula tailored to Islamic educational settings, reinforcing the need for pedagogical models that integrate language acquisition with students’ lived religious experiences.

Abstract

Writing instruction remains a major challenge in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts because students tend to prioritize speaking over writing, while limited research has examined the instructional competency of Non-Native English-Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) in teaching writing. This study aims to identify the instructional competence of NNESTs in an English language institution, LPBA Nurul Jadid. This study was a qualitative study with a learning style inventory approach. The focus of this study was on the components of NNESTS competencies in institutional units and NNESTS experiences which was obtained through questionnaires, structured interviews, classroom observations, institutional curriculum documents, and supporting language proficiency certificates. The experiences of NNESTS are based on Kolb's learning cycle, as NNESTS were active learners who have learned English language skills and taught Writing skills. The results of this study proved that NNESTS still encountered problems in technical, managerial and conceptual competencies. Some of them were still unable to mediate the conflicting concepts found during the class and find new models, methods, and current issues around writing that they could develop for the following year. The findings also indicate that instructional competency develops through continuous experiential learning, reflection, and professional practice. Therefore, English language institutions should strengthen curriculum design and provide continuous professional development to improve NNESTs' instructional competency in writing instruction.

Abstract

This research investigated the use of deictic expressions in students’ poems. It also explored the interpretation of deictic expressions and identified the most dominant types used in the poems. Deixis plays an important role in language use because the interpretation of deictic expressions depends on contextual information. This research occupied a descriptive qualitative approach. The data were obtained from twelve poems written by students and analyzed using Levinson’s (1983) theory of deixis, which classifies deixis into five categories: person deixis, place deixis, time deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis. The data analysis involved identifying deictic expressions, classifying them into their respective categories, interpreting their contextual meanings, and calculating the frequency of occurrence of each type. The findings revealed that all five types of deixis were identified in the students’ poems, with a total of 214 deictic expressions found in the data. Person deixis was identified as the most dominant type with 145 occurrences (67.76%), followed by place deixis with 27 occurrences (12.62%), while time deixis and discourse deixis each occurred 20 times (9.35%). Social deixis was identified as the least frequent type with only 2 occurrences (0.93%). The findings indicate that students tended to use poetry as a medium for expressing personal emotions, experiences, and perspectives. Furthermore, this study highlights that deictic expressions play a significant role in constructing contextual meaning and assisting readers in interpreting poetic texts effectively. This research contributes to pragmatic studies in EFL contexts by demonstrating how learners employ deictic resources to develop meaning, establish relationships between textual elements, and enhance their pragmatic competence in creative writing.
