Abstract

For Indonesians, which are non-native English speakers, learning English is complex due to unpredictable spelling and complicated grammar. Even so, they are able to be experts in English since they possess a key element that is motivation. The learning motivation for each individual is different which may be influenced by gender and age factors. Therefore, this study exists to investigate the distinct motivation possessed by male and female learners as well as different age groups of learners. This study also aims to find out what kind of motivation each group had (intrinsic, instrumental, or integrative motivation) as well as its level. This research was conducted using a cross-sectional study by administering questionnaires to 64 participants. The sample of this study was 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th-semester students of English Language Education Department UINSA academic year 2020/2021. The findings revealed that there is a significant difference in motivation to learn English in terms of gender (Sig (2-tailed= .016), but none in distinct age groups (Sig (2-tailed=.707). Besides, both male and female learners obtained a moderate level in instrumental motivation. It was identical to the result of 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th-semester students. The findings of this study will be very fruitful for lecturers, students, and other researchers.

Abstract

In this digital era, the era of a digital-dependent society, English teachers have to possess digital literacy skills (locating and consuming digital contents, creating digital contents, communicating digital contents) apart of master English language skills and pedagogical skills. The level of English teachers’ digital literacy skills is assumed to correlate to the frequency of digital media they used in ELT classes. Thus, to prove that assumption, the researcher conducted this study using a correlational research design. Self-assessment questionnaires were distributed to 24 English teachers in several regions in East Java. Then, the results showed that there was a significant correlation between the level of digital literacy skills and the frequency of digital media use in ELT classes. It leads to the conclusion that the higher the level of digital literacy, the more frequent digital media use in ELT classrooms. Knowing this, improving English teachers’ level of digital literacy skills matters

Abstract

In the context of globalization and the increasing accessibility of English-language media, movies have become a significant source for learning about different cultures. As English has become a global lingua franca, exposure to English-language movies offers learners valuable opportunities to engage with diverse cultural narratives, values, and social norms. This study explored the effect of English movies on intercultural awareness among English learners. Particularly, it explored how learners’ preferences for specific movie genres shaped their understanding of cultural differences and similarities. The present study used thematic analysis to analyze interview data from 14 English learners, aged 18 to 25, selected through convenience sampling. Participants were asked about their favorite genres and how they believed these movies influenced their perceptions of other cultures. The findings suggested that English movies significantly contributed to intercultural awareness by offering learners a deeper understanding of cultural practices, communication styles, and societal values. Genres such as comedy and romance helped participants reflect on humor, relationships, and individual freedom, highlighting cultural contrasts between their home cultures and Western norms. Furthermore, animation films introduced learners to unfamiliar cultural traditions and values in an engaging and accessible way. The research also emphasized that movies shaped learners’ intercultural perspectives, both intentionally and unintentionally. This study contributed to the growing field of intercultural communication and highlighted the potential of movies as means of fostering intercultural awareness, offering valuable insights for educators and learners seeking to enhance understanding in cultural diversity.
