Abstract

This community service examines the use of imaginative games in English learning to develop student character through the 6C framework: Collaboration, Communication, Content, Critical Thinking, Creative Innovation, and Self-Confidence. This activity was conducted with seventh grade students at Agios Nikolaus Gunungsitoli Christian Private Junior High School using observation sheets, field notes and student worksheets to analyze the impact of imaginative play on language learning outcomes and character building. The findings showed that most students demonstrated strong collaboration and communication skills, participating effectively in group activities and verbal interactions. Comprehension of materials and critical thinking skills also improved, with 87.5% of students (14 out of 16) showing a strong understanding of English learning materials, including grammar and vocabulary. A total of 68.75% of students (11 out of 16) were able to analyze and solve problems effectively, although further development is needed to improve their critical thinking skills. However, creative innovation was less developed, with only half of the participants actively exploring new ideas. Self-confidence saw a significant improvement, with 81.25% of students (13 out of 16) showing high levels of self-confidence. This reflects the effectiveness of the imaginative play method in helping students feel confident using language. In conclusion, the 6C’s imaginative play effectively supports language acquisition and character education, particularly in enhancing communication, collaboration, and confidence, though additional strategies are needed to further improve creativity and critical thinking. This approach offers a holistic and engaging method for integrating character development into English language learning.

Abstract

Writing is a crucial skill in English language learning that requires the integration of linguistic, cognitive, and organizational components, making it one of the most challenging areas for many EFL students. This study aims to analyze the writing difficulties encountered by third-semester English major students in producing descriptive texts and to identify the linguistic aspects contributing to these challenges. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, data were collected from students’ written descriptive texts and questionnaire responses. Students were asked to compose a descriptive text based on a given topic, while the questionnaire explored their perceptions of writing difficulties. The findings reveal four dominant categories of difficulties: grammatical problems, limited vocabulary, weak text organization, and challenges in developing ideas. Grammar emerged as the most problematic aspect, with frequent errors in tenses, subject–verb agreement, and articles. Vocabulary limitations led to repetitive and inaccurate word choices, while organizational issues appeared in unclear generic structure, weak coherence, and minimal use of cohesive devices. Students also struggled to elaborate ideas, resulting in brief and underdeveloped descriptions. The questionnaire results supported the text analysis, indicating that grammar, vocabulary, idea generation, and organization were perceived as their main challenges. Overall, the study concludes that the writing difficulties experienced by students are influenced by linguistic limitations and insufficient understanding of genre conventions. These findings emphasize the need for integrated and process-oriented writing instruction focusing on grammatical accuracy, vocabulary enrichment, genre awareness, and pre-writing strategies to support students in improving their descriptive writing performance.

Abstract

Perception of speech is a fundamental skill in EFL learning that is very challenging for Indonesian learners due to the limitations of their L1 vocal system. Although previous studies have mostly used quantitative accuracy measurements, qualitative exploration of authentic experiences in the classroom is still limited, especially for university-level EFL students in the context of psycholinguistics. This study investigates the difficulties of fifth-semester English Education students at Nias University in perceiving minimal vowel pairs through a descriptive qualitative design. Data from 15 purposive sampling participants were collected through a minimal pairs listening test (20 items), semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. The results show the highest error rates of 87% for /ɪ/–/iː/ (ship-sheep) and 80% for /ʊ/–/uː/ (full-fool), caused by the Indonesian vowel system, which has only five monophthongs without length/tension contrast. Internal factors included L1 phonological interference and cognitive load, while external factors included poor classroom audio quality and environmental noise. Students relied more on context-based top-down strategies than bottom-up phonetic analysis. These findings reveal patterns of vowel perception difficulties characteristic of Indonesian EFL in an authentic learning context.
