Abstract

This study explores the factors contributing to students' difficulties in achieving effective English learning at the Muslim University of Indonesia (UMI) and identifies strategies to overcome these challenges. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive research design, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation with five fifth-semester students from the English Department. The findings reveal six critical barriers: lack of practice, vocabulary deficiency, environmental factors, lack of interest, low self-confidence, and pronunciation challenges. These factors significantly hinder students' English language proficiency, which is essential for their academic and professional success. The study suggests targeted interventions, including increasing practice opportunities, enhancing vocabulary instruction, creating supportive learning environments, tailoring materials to students' interests, building confidence, and improving pronunciation practice. The implications of these findings highlight the need for comprehensive and context-specific strategies in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. Future research should further investigate these areas, considering alternative interpretations and the long-term impact of these factors on language proficiency. By addressing these challenges, educators and policymakers can enhance English language education and support students in achieving their full potential.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by fifth-semester English Department students at the Muslim University of Indonesia in achieving effective English proficiency. It is a qualitative descriptive research approach. Data were collected from five participants through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, enabling an in-depth exploration of cognitive, affective, and environmental factors. The findings highlight six principal obstacles: insufficient practice, limited vocabulary, unsupportive learning environments, lack of interest, low self-confidence, and difficulties with pronunciation. Additionally, participants reported five key coping strategies, including regular vocabulary expansion, consistent practice, seeking training partners, enhancing learning motivation, and developing self-confidence. These strategies underscore the importance of addressing both linguistic and psychological dimensions of language acquisition. The results align with prominent theories in second language acquisition, emphasizing the role of socially mediated interactions, motivation, and affective factors. Practically, the study suggests implementing collaborative learning approaches, structured practice sessions, and confidence-building activities in English language curricula to foster communicative competence. Although this investigation focuses on a single private university context and has a limited sample size, its insights hold relevance for educators, policymakers, and institutions seeking to improve English language instruction. Future research could investigate broader populations, alternative instructional settings, and longitudinal assessments of student progress. Therefore, the study contributes valuable perspectives on how to overcome persistent English language difficulties among university students in similar EFL settings.

Bahan hukum primer dan sekunder dianalisis secara kualitatif untuk mengkaji konstruksi norma, ruang lingkup kewenangan, serta desain kelembagaan penegakan hukum di kedua negara.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Indonesia secara normatif memiliki kewenangan luas dalam menangani penipuan online melalui regulasi yang tersebar, namun masih terkendala disharmonisasi aturan, koordinasi lembaga, dan keterbatasan teknologi, sedangkan Singapura didukung kerangka hukum yang lebih terintegrasi, struktur terpusat, dan pendekatan intelligence-led policing yang proaktif, sehingga penanganan yang diberikan oleh integrasi substansi hukum, kelembagaan, budaya hukum, dan dukungan teknologi, serta memerlukan harmonisasi regulasi, penguatan kapasitas digital, dan kerja sama internasional.Sebagai Penulis merekomendasikan agar Indonesia melakukan harmonisasi regulasi dan membangun sistem penegakan hukum siber yang terintegrasi berbasis teknologi, memperkuat kapasitas forensik digital dan koordinasi dengan sektor keuangan, serta mengembangkan pendekatan proaktif, literasi digital, dan kerja sama internasional untuk menghadapi penipuan online yang bersifat transnasional.
