Abstract

This study aims to find out the extent of the effect of using video blogging for students’ speaking skills. This research bridges the gap between conventional language teaching practices and the preferences of today's learners who are accustomed to using multimedia content. This study used a pre-experimental method. Speaking tests are the research tool that will be administered to 36 students as a sample for this study. The results showed that the experimental class's average pre-test score was 57,3, and its average post-test score was 69,2. A Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 was found in the independent sample t-test analysis findings, which is less than the predefined significance limit of 0.05. As a result, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. These findings indicate a significant effect of using video blogging as learning media for high school students' speaking skills.

Abstract

This article examined self-efficacy and language anxiety about using English as a foreign language experienced by theological seminary students. Specifically, it explored whether students confident in their language skills would feel less anxious or vice versa. It also aims to discover the strategies students used to overcome language anxiety. A mixed-methods study involving 36 theology students who were asked to complete a questionnaire and 10 of them were also interviewed in depth. The results showed that there was a positive trend, self-efficacy was not always directly or linearly proportional to anxiety levels. However, from the interviews, it was found that some ways help students reduce their anxiety when speaking in a foreign language. Overall, this study highlighted the importance of self-efficacy in foreign language learning, especially for theology students. By increasing students' self-efficacy, theological education institutions can help them by providing facilities or encouragement to achieve better academic performance and be ready to face all challenges in their future ministry tasks.

Abstract

Abstract. To understand how individuals convey meaning or information, manage relationships with others, and navigate power dynamics in communication, one needs to know the meaning and types of speech acts especially. This study aims to analyze school communication in the Abbott Elementary series through the lens of speech act theory, focusing on how different types of illocutionary acts are used to shape classroom interactions. This research provides a novel contribution to the linguistic field by analyzing speech acts specifically in the educational setting. This study uses a qualitative approach to explore communication dynamics by using discourse analysis to identify and categorize the illocutionary acts present in the three episodes in the first series to answer the first problem. Then, the data obtained will also be calculated and analyzed to answer the second research question, namely the type of speech acts that appear most often. As a result, this study found that the series includes all five types of speech acts in its communication, and the representative type has the highest intensity of occurrence in the three episodes of the first series that was studied. This finding can provide valuable insight into the role of language, especially in the educational environment Keywords: Abbott Elementary, School Communication, Speech Act

Abstract

Authentic assessment (AuA) is emerging as an alternative that has its own appeal, especially in the context of sustainability education. Although numerous studies have investigated how authentic assessment is perceived and practiced in EFL higher education within Indonesia, studies which connects AuA practices with sustainability education are still underrepresented. AuA practices can promote students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills and is increasingly recognized for its potentials to promote meaningful and effective learning, especially in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. This study investigates two key questions: (1) how EFL lecturers perceive and address the challenges of implementing authentic assessment in sustainability education; and (2) what instructional strategies lecturers can use to implement authentic assessment in sustainability education. Using a mixed-methods approach, survey data and follow-up interviews were collected from 30 English lecturers of various universities in Indonesia. The quantitative data shows that lecturers view authentic assessment as a relevant and effective tool. However, the data highlighted two key challenges: limited time and pressure from institutional expectations. Qualitative results further reveal how lecturers design assessment tasks, reflect on their practice, and integrate sustainability values into their teaching, while pointing to the need for institutional support. Overall, the study highlights lecturers’ positive perceptions and emphasizes the importance of external support to ensure authentic assessment effectively promotes context-relevant learning and sustainability education.
