Abstract

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.

Abstract

This study investigates how preservice English teachers at Universitas Negeri Makassar understand and implement the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum within the “Pedagogy of Writing” course. As a curriculum reform aimed at promoting student-centered, project-based learning and the development of 21st-century competencies, the Merdeka Curriculum requires significant pedagogical shifts, especially in writing instruction. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to explore students’ conceptual and practical engagement with the curriculum. The participants included 210 fifth-semester students enrolled in the course during the 2022/2023 academic year. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, focusing on three representative lesson plans. Thematic analysis revealed that while students generally grasped key curriculum concepts such as learner autonomy and the Profil Pelajar Pancasila, their classroom implementation varied widely. Common challenges included limited instructional resources, time constraints during school-based practicums, and difficulties in aligning creative writing tasks with standardized assessments. Despite these obstacles, many students demonstrated innovation in instructional design and a willingness to reflect critically on their teaching practices. The findings highlight the need for more structured pedagogical support within teacher education programs to strengthen curriculum understanding and implementation. This study contributes to the growing literature on curriculum transformation in Indonesian higher education and offers insights for policymakers and curriculum developers seeking to enhance teacher preparation for 21st-century education.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of storytelling training in enhancing the speaking skills of first-year students in the English Education Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The research was motivated by a survey of senior students, which revealed that 15.8% were still at the A1 level and 35.3% at the A2 level of the CEFR, indicating persistent challenges in speaking confidence and performance, particularly in formal academic contexts. The study involved 14 participants selected randomly to represent each first-year class. Data were collected through a post-training perception survey using closed-ended questionnaires covering aspects of fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, comprehension, clarity, and speaking confidence. The results showed that all participants perceived improvements in their speaking abilities, with the highest agreement (100%) observed in vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence, followed by pronunciation (92.9%), clarity (92.9%), and fluency (85.7%). These findings suggest that storytelling can serve as an effective strategy for improving both the linguistic and affective aspects of speaking in EFL contexts. The study concludes that storytelling is a valuable pedagogical tool that should be integrated into the early stages of English language teacher education.
