<![CDATA[This qualitative study explores students’ perceptions and engagement in the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in English language classrooms at the senior high school level. The research focuses on uncovering how students perceive the use of PjBL, what aspects enhance their motivation and involvement—such as group collaboration, use of technology, and creativity—and what challenges they encounter, including time management, task division, and language comprehension. Five students from SMA Negeri 9 Wajo participated in in-depth interviews to share their experiences, while observations provided additional insight into classroom dynamics. The findings reveal that students generally hold positive perceptions toward PjBL, highlighting increased enthusiasm, improved English skills—especially in speaking, writing, and vocabulary—and a greater sense of ownership over their learning. Collaborative projects and authentic tasks were cited as key motivators, though students also expressed concerns about unequal participation and limited time for project completion. The study emphasizes the importance of student voice in evaluating educational strategies and offers practical suggestions from students to improve future PjBL activities.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the role of polysemy awareness of the verbs get and make through learning podcasts in improving EFL students’ collocational speaking ability. The basis of this study is the finding that the meaning variation of polysemous words often causes collocational errors in spoken language. At the same time, podcasts provide rich audio contexts that facilitate semantic comprehension. The study's objectives were to test the effectiveness of increasing polysemy awareness of collocational speaking accuracy and fluency and to explore the learning mechanisms of participants. The Mixed-Methods Sequential Explanatory Method was applied through a quantitative phase, pre-test and post-test of speaking collocations on 60 EFL students randomly divided into experimental and control groups, followed by a qualitative phase in the form of stimulated-recall interviews with 10 participants. The collocation assessment instrument showed high inter-rater reliability (α = 0.87). The quantitative results indicated a significant increase in accuracy (p < 0.05; d > 0.8) and a 20% increase in fluency scores in the experimental group. The qualitative findings revealed that participants utilized audio context clues to distinguish polysemous meanings before selecting collocations, shifting from a rote strategy to a contextual approach. In conclusion, integrating polysemy awareness in podcast materials effectively improves speaking collocational ability and strengthens the theory of contextual semantic learning. The implications of this study include the development of audio modules focused on polysemy semantics, teacher training, and further research on long-term retention and adaptation of materials based on proficiency.]]>

<![CDATA[This analysis aimed to evaluate whether the Direct Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) improves students' ability to comprehend literal reading. The researcher utilized a pre-experimental design incorporating a single-group pre-test and post-test method. The study included 20 eighth-grade students from UPT SMPN 26 Kepulauan Selayar, selected using a total sampling technique. A reading comprehension assessment, focused on the literal understanding of recount texts, was employed as the research tool. The analysis of the pre-test and post-test data, using the significance test formula, showed a t-test value of 9.958, which was higher than the t-table value of 2.09302. This resulted in the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1). Further examination of the N-gain value placed the results in the "great" category. In conclusion, the use of the DRTA strategy significantly enhanced students' comprehension of critical components of texts, such as details, central themes, sequences, comparisons, cause-and-effect relationships, and character traits.]]>
