Abstract

This research aims to find out whether the use of brainstorming significantly improves the expressive writing ability of the first-year students of the accommodation department of SMK Negeri 8 Makassar, South-Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest and posttest design. The sample was chosen by applying a cluster random sampling technique. The data were collected through writing tests. The results of the test were analyzed using the SPSS 16.00 version. The use of brainstorming as part of the treatment was chosen because it can attract the interest of the students and trigger more ideas. In line with that, the research results showed that there was an improvement in the students’ expressive writing ability between the pretest and posttest after the treatment. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the use of brainstorming significantly improves students’ expressive writing abilities. More research is needed to improve learning quality, and future researchers are hoped to address any flaws discovered in this study.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi efektivitas dari hypnolearning dalam belajar grammar dan motivasi siswa selama proses pembelajaran tersebut. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental yang melibatkan satu kelas siswa X di SMK 8 Makassar dengan menggunakan uji-t dependen (berpasangan). Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data adalah tes grammar dan kuesioner untuk data motivasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, ditemukan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara rata-rata pengetahuan tata bahasa siswa sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan yang dimana p-value 0,00 lebih kecil dari tingkat signifikan 0,05 (5%). Ini berarti bahwa hypnolearning efektif bagi siswa untuk belajar tata bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, motivasi siswa dalam belajar tata bahasa selama implementasi hypnolearning umumnya kuat. Hal ini disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor yaitu kepribadian dosen, penggunaan cerpen, visualisasi dan penyegaran.

Abstract

This study focuses on the novel Beauty is a Wound, which was originally translated by Annie Tucker from the Indonesian novel Eka Kurniawan's Cantik Itu Luka (2002). This study was conducted to identify and analyze instances of gender inequality in "Beauty is a Wound." This study aims to: 1) identify the forms of gender inequality portrayed by women in Beauty is a Wound; and 2) the meaning behind inequality. The qualitative descriptive approach was adopted in this investigation. Mansour Fakih's (2013) idea is being utilized by researchers. The findings revealed that women face four categories of gender inequality: subordination (four), marginalization (six), violence (25), and stereotyping (five). In this study, the meaning of inequality is that (1) women's characters do not provide the same rights as other children to get education, study, and socialize; (2) prisoners appear helpless and do not have the right to manage their own lives, which results in marginalization; (3) they were subjected to poor treatment at the hands of Japanese soldiers, which resulted in both physical and psychological injuries, which led to the claim that it was violence; and (4) the assumption that they were vile individuals.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discover and provide a descriptive description of the internal elements that influence the high speaking achievement of the students. To gain additional knowledge regarding the elements that contribute to the student's high speaking performance, this research utilised a case study approach supported by quantitative and qualitative data. The data resources included two kids from SMKN 8 who had achieved high success in speaking English, their parents, teachers, classmates, and the headmaster of SMKN 8 Makassar. Observation, interviews, inventories, the TOEIC test, and documentation reviews were the instruments that were utilised in this study. Analysis of the data was performed according to its nature. A qualitative analysis was performed on the information gathered through observation, interviews, and the reading of documents. According to the findings, the internal factors that contributed to the student's high achievement were as follows: (a) a highly positive attitude; (b) a high level of motivation; (c) a high level of interest; (d) a learning style that was very high and positive in both visual and auditory terms; (e) a metacognitive learning strategy; (f) a very low level of anxiety; and (g) a high level of English proficiency as well. After considering all of these elements, it became clear that the student's great accomplishment in speaking was unquestionably due to factors that were internal to the kid.

Abstract

Speaking is a fundamental skill in English language learning, yet it remains one of the most difficult to master for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. This study explores the key challenges that hinder speaking proficiency in Indonesian EFL classrooms and identifies practical solutions to address these issues. Using qualitative methods, classroom observation, teacher interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, the study reveals four major barriers: psychological factors such as anxiety and low confidence, instructional limitations including teacher-centered approaches and time constraints, limited exposure to authentic English input, and the absence of structured speaking assessments. The discussion connects these findings with recent pedagogical research from 2020 to 2025, emphasizing the need for affective support, communicative teaching methods, authentic language input, and formative speaking evaluation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of speaking instruction in the Indonesian context and provides practical insights for educators and policymakers aiming to design effective, communicative EFL speaking programs. This study contributes not only to practical classroom strategies but also enriches the current understanding of affective and instructional barriers in EFL speaking development in Southeast Asia

Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results show that students demonstrated high levels of engagement across all three dimensions, with emotional engagement scoring the highest. The findings suggest that integrating digital storytelling into writing instruction can effectively foster student engagement and support the development of key writing skills. This study recommends to highlights the importance of providing technical support to maximize its impact. Future research may consider longitudinal approaches or classroom-based observations to examine long-term improvements in writing performance and digital literacy.

Abstract

The increasing use of machine translation tools in academic contexts has raised concerns about their accuracy in translating complex academic language. This study aims to analyze the accuracy of Google Translate in translating academic sentences through a qualitative literature review. The review synthesized findings from 16 selected studies published between 2014 and 2025 that examined Google Translate or machine translation in academic, educational, and language learning contexts. The studies were selected based on their relevance to translation accuracy, error types, user perceptions, and the use of Google Translate in EFL settings. The data were analyzed using thematic categorization, focusing on grammatical accuracy, lexical and terminological accuracy, contextual and semantic accuracy, translation performance across language pairs, and educational implications. The findings indicate that Google Translate performs relatively well in translating simple and general sentences, especially those with clear structures and common vocabulary. However, its accuracy decreases when translating complex academic sentences, technical terms, culture-bound expressions, and context-dependent meanings. The review also shows that translation accuracy varies across language pairs and is influenced by sentence complexity, linguistic structure, and the availability of language resources. In educational contexts, Google Translate can support students’ comprehension, vocabulary learning, and academic writing, but excessive dependence on the tool may reduce students’ critical language awareness. Therefore, Google Translate should be used as a supportive tool accompanied by critical evaluation and human post-editing. Future studies are recommended to test Google Translate using real academic sentences written by Indonesian EFL students.
