Abstract

Up to the present day the issue of gender and language has been widely studied by numerous researchers not only by linguistics but also practitioners from other fields of study. The amount of research has been done through different methods, instrument and scope. These various approaches have brought contradictory answers of the questions - is there any effect of gender on the language acquisition? If so, to what extent gender demonstrates its influence on language learning? More specifically, does gender difference demonstrate different lexical acquisition of second language learners? Does gender solely affect second language learners lexical acquisition? Burning questions come up along with the various perspectives and paradigm held by practitioners. The complexity brings the impossibility to cover all of questions in one study. Therefore, this study is intended to contribute to sum up studies done in the field of how gender difference demonstrate its effects on second language learners lexical acquisition. By thematical approach, this library research presents a few studies related to gender lexical acquisition that have been available over the last twenty years. The contradictory findings are revealed, that is differences do exist with huge varieties in terms of lexical acquisition, vocabulary, learning strategy and lexical use. Yet, complex measurement of gender effect on lexical acquisition occurs as the effect of the potential existence of other variable factors. Some researchers believe that gender does not solely influence second language learners acquisition. They assume that various findings might be affected by some other variable factors that make male become male and make female become female or make language learners lost their gender identity or home whether they are from Mars or Venus in language acquisition. These variable factors include age, biological, social (context, experience & socialization), psychological, pedagogical (teaching & learning instruction) and linguistical (L1 & L2 relation)

Abstract

This study aims to develop students’ real-life English communication competence through communicative, multimodal, and practice-oriented instructional strategies. The research addresses the persistent challenges faced by Indonesian EFL learners, particularly low speaking confidence, high anxiety, and limited willingness to communicate. A mixed-method classroom-based research design was employed involving 32 undergraduate EFL students. Data were collected through pre- and post-speaking tests, communicative competence rubrics, questionnaires on Willingness to Communicate (WTC), classroom observation, and semi-structured interviews. The intervention integrated role-play, multimodal tasks, gamified communicative projects, and structured real-life speaking simulations over eight weeks. Findings indicate significant improvement in students’ fluency, pronunciation accuracy, sociolinguistic appropriateness, and strategic competence. Students demonstrated increased confidence and reduced speaking anxiety. Quantitative results show a 28% increase in speaking performance scores and a 35% rise in WTC indicators. Qualitative findings reveal that contextualized speaking tasks and authentic interaction fostered greater engagement and communicative risk-taking. The study confirms that communicative competence development requires integration of linguistic knowledge, sociocultural awareness, and emotional readiness. The results suggest that real-life simulation and multimodal communication tasks effectively promote “fluent and fearless” English use. Pedagogical implications highlight the importance of structured communicative environments that prioritize authentic use rather than grammatical accuracy alone.
