Abstract

This study investigates the effect of teacher feedback on speaking anxiety among secondary school ESL students. Speaking anxiety is one of the major challenges faced by students when required to speak English in class, often hindering their oral communication development. The study involved 120 participants, consisting of 100 students and 20 English teachers. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected using three main instruments: semi-structured interview guidelines, a structured classroom observation checklist, and students’ reflective journal prompts. The interview protocol explored participants’ perceptions of feedback and its influence on their confidence and anxiety. The observation checklist documented the type, timing, tone, and delivery mode of teacher feedback, as well as students’ immediate behavioral reactions. Reflective journals captured students’ personal emotional responses to feedback during speaking activities. The findings reveal that supportive, empathetic, and constructive feedback significantly reduced students’ speaking anxiety, increased self-confidence, and encouraged active participation in oral tasks. A positive classroom atmosphere characterized by respectful teacher–student interaction further enabled learners to engage in speaking without fear of negative judgment. In contrast, harsh or overly critical feedback, particularly when delivered publicly, tended to trigger embarrassment and heightened anxiety. The study also highlights the importance of balancing corrective and supportive feedback while remaining sensitive to individual and gender differences, as students’ perceptions of feedback mediated its emotional impact and willingness to communicate. Teacher feedback functions not only as a pedagogical tool for improving linguistic accuracy but also as an affective support mechanism that shapes students’ emotional readiness to speak in a second language. Emotionally responsive feedback practices are therefore essential in ESL classrooms.

Abstract

Song lyrics often convey meanings that extend beyond their literal interpretations, making semantic analysis essential for understanding the messages embedded in musical texts. However, studies specifically examining denotative and connotative meanings in English popular songs remain relatively limited. Therefore, this study aims to identify the denotative and connotative meanings found in Alicia Keys' *If I Ain't Got You* and explain how these meanings contribute to the song's overall message. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using document analysis as the primary method. The data consisted of lyrical expressions selected from the song and analyzed based on semantic theory. The findings revealed 20 lyrical expressions, including 7 denotative meanings and 13 connotative meanings. The predominance of connotative meanings indicates that figurative and implied language plays a significant role in communicating the song's central message. The analysis shows that the lyrics emphasize the importance of genuine love, emotional connection, and personal fulfillment over material wealth, social status, fame, and power. These findings highlight the value of semantic analysis in revealing deeper meanings and enhancing the interpretation of song lyrics.

Abstract

This community service program aims to develop a mother-empowerment model to support children’s learning autonomy in Sawohan Village, Buduran District, Sidoarjo Regency. The program was motivated by the low level of parental involvement and limited understanding of effective home-learning strategies among mothers. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was employed, involving mothers and community stakeholders in all stages of the program, including problem identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The activities consisted of community education, practical training, consultation and mentoring, and advocacy to ensure program sustainability.Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic qualitative analysis. The results indicate increased awareness among mothers regarding their roles in supporting children’s learning, improved practical skills in facilitating home-learning activities, and strengthened collaboration within the community. The program also produced simple handbooks and practical guidelines, as well as encouraged the formation of a community learning group (Kelompok Belajar Ibu dan Anak) as a local support network. Overall, the program resulted in a sustainable and replicable empowerment model that can be adapted in other communities with similar social and economic characteristics

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition plays a central role in English language learning, yet many learners struggle to expand their vocabulary through conventional classroom instruction. Recent developments in digital technology have introduced alternative platforms for language acquisition, including Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs), which offer rich linguistic input and interactive environments. This study investigates how Indonesian EFL learners acquire English vocabulary through their engagement with Ragnarok M: Eternal Love, a popular MMORPG. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected from 50 active players via an online questionnaire consisting of both closed- and open-ended items. The findings reveal that vocabulary is acquired incidentally through repeated exposure to in-game texts such as quest instructions, NPC dialogues, item descriptions, and player communication. Players employed various strategies for vocabulary learning, including contextual guessing, translation tools, and peer support. Social interaction, motivation, and gameplay immersion were identified as significant factors influencing vocabulary retention. These results support theoretical perspectives such as Krashen’s Input Hypothesis, Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, and Gee’s Situated Learning. The study highlights the potential of MMORPGs as informal learning environments and provides pedagogical implications for integrating game-based learning into English language instruction. Keywords: A MMORPG, Game-Based Learning, Informal Learning, Ragnarok M, Vocabulary Acquisition.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of peer feedback in improving Grade 11 students’ achievement in writing fantasy stories.. The research used purposive sampling with 36 participants. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative analysis of pre-test and post-test writing scores with qualitative insights from questionnaires and interviews to examine both the measurable impact and students’ perceptions of peer feedback in writing fantasy stories. Quantitative results revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ writing performance, with the mean score increasing from M = 87.86 (SD = 2.58) on the pre-test to M = 92.56 (SD = 2.27) on the post-test, representing an approximate 14,67% gain (p < .01). Qualitative findings reveal that students perceive peer feedback as beneficial for enhancing creativity, structure, and idea development in their fantasy stories, as well as for fostering critical thinking and collaboration. The findings suggest that integrating peer feedback into writing instruction can enhance both students’ linguistic skills and creative engagement.

Abstract

Language operates not only as a communicative tool but also as a marker of class and a gateway to social mobility. This study examines how phonetic change and idiolectal shift function as determinants of social mobility in George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Using a qualitative textual analysis design, the play is read through sociophonetic theory integrated with sociological criticism, Marxist literary criticism, and Bourdieu's notion of linguistic capital. Data were drawn from dialogues, phonetic spellings, and character interactions that reveal pronunciation change, idiolectal development, and class relations, then interpreted in three stages: identification, interpretation, and synthesis. The analysis shows that Shaw represents accent as a decisive marker of class, with Eliza Doolittle's Cockney speech initially fixing her working class position and shaping others' perceptions of her. Through Higgins's phonetic training, Eliza acquires not only a prestigious accent but a broader idiolectal shift in vocabulary, communicative style, and confidence, functioning as linguistic capital that grants her temporary access to elite society. However, language alone cannot dissolve structural inequality: Eliza continues to face uncertainty about identity, independence, and full social acceptance. Pygmalion thus portrays language as both an instrument of empowerment and a mechanism that reproduces class hierarchy.
