Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of using the English translation of the Quran as an educational medium to enhance vocabulary acquisition among tenth-grade students at Babul Khaer Islamic Boarding School, Bulukumba. By applying a pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, the study aims to explore vocabulary gains facilitated through the contextual guesswork technique. This approach not only aids students in understanding word meanings by referencing both Indonesian and English translations but also supports character education by incorporating moral values in language learning. Results reveal significant improvement, with the average vocabulary score increasing from 49.64 in the pre-test to 70.16 in the post-test. Statistical analysis supports these findings, with a t-test result of 13.31 exceeding the t-table value of 2.074, confirming the alternative hypothesis that Quranic English translation can significantly improve vocabulary. The study suggests that the Quran’s English translation serves as an effective medium for vocabulary acquisition and offers valuable insights for enhancing vocabulary improvement in EFL contexts. These findings contribute to the educational media approach in Islamic boarding school settings and provide a foundation for future research in similar environments

Abstract

This study explores the English language learning strategies employed by individuals, drawing insights from spontaneous interviews featured on TikTok’s English on the Street channel. Drawing on Oxford's (1990) taxonomy of language learning strategies, the research aims to explore English language learning strategies as revealed through TikTok’s “English on the Street” interviews. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzed 83 publicly available street interview videos using thematic analysis based on Braun, & Clarke (2006). Unlike previous research that has predominantly relied on structured surveys in formal classroom contexts, this study captures how learners naturally express and demonstrate their strategies in real life digital interactions. The findings revealed a diverse use of strategies, with cognitive, social, and metacognitive strategies being the most frequently reported. Participants indicated learning English through media exposure, social interaction, self-directed practices, and to a lesser extent, memory and affective strategies. These results highlight the effectiveness of informal, learner-driven approaches and emphasize the relevance of digital platforms in supporting English learning. Practical implications suggest integrating similar strategies in formal education, while future research is encouraged to investigate underreported strategies such as affective and compensation strategies using more in-depth interviews.

Abstract

This study investigates the realization of adaptive politeness and hierarchical negotiation in the speech of Bugis and Konjo speakers in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. While politeness in Indonesian regional languages has often been described through hierarchical norms, this study demonstrates that politeness is better understood as an adaptive and relational process. Using a qualitative descriptive design with a sociopragmatic approach, natural conversations were collected from Bone and Bulukumba in 2023 through observation, recording, and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Culpeper (2021) pragmatic framework and Locher & Larina (2019) relational pragmatics model to identify linguistic markers of respect, empathy, and social harmony. The findings reveal that Bugis speakers maintain structured hierarchy through indirect and respectful forms that reflect the moral principle of siri’ na pacce, while Konjo speakers demonstrate greater flexibility through humor, familiarity, and contextual adaptation. Both groups exhibit adaptive politeness, balancing hierarchical awareness with social solidarity in everyday communication. These findings indicate that politeness in South Sulawesi is not a fixed linguistic system but a dynamic moral and pragmatic practice. The study contributes to the broader understanding of Southeast Asian pragmatics by showing how moral values and cultural identities are linguistically enacted in multilingual societies.
