Abstract

This mini research examines how meanings of words in English change over time and how these changes affect modern language use. Semantic change includes several processes, such as the expansion or restriction of meaning, improvement or worsening of connotation, and shifts in meaning. As stated by Ullmann (1962), changes in word meanings naturally occur in all living languages as a reflection of cultural and social evolution. By analyzing current examples, this study shows how such changes influence how people communicate, how English is taught, and how vocabulary is understood. Recognizing semantic change is important for both native speakers and learners to keep up with the evolving use of language.

Abstract

This research delves into the implementation of digital-based reading comprehension test within educational environments, highlighting both its effectiveness and the challenges it presents. As digital learning tools become increasingly woven into educational curricula, this research investigates how technology can enrich the evaluation of reading comprehension. In a comprehensive exploration of pertinent literature, researchers analyzed the benefits and challenges associated with the implementation of digital-based reading comprehension test. Our key findings indicate that digital tests provide numerous benefits, including immediate feedback, adaptability, and enhanced accessibility, all of which significantly bolster students engagement and learning outcomes. Nonetheless, this research also addresses several challenges, such as technological constraints, gaps in digital literacy, and the necessity for well-structured test frameworks. This research culminates in a series of insightful recommendations aimed at educators and policymakers, advocating for integration of digital tests to enhance the development of reading comprehension skills among students.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the most important skills in English learning because it allows students to communicate ideas directly. However, many learners face speaking anxiety which makes them nervous, less confident, and unable to perform well in class. Most previous studies discussed this problem with quantitative methods, but there is still a need for a deeper description by reviewing and comparing qualitative findings. Therefore, this mini research was conducted as a descriptive qualitative library study by analyzing five previous articles related to students’ speaking anxiety. Referring to Horwitz (1986), speaking anxiety can be divided into communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. The review shows that the dominant indicators are fear of making mistakes, lack of vocabulary, and low self-confidence. These factors cause nervousness, forgetting words, avoiding participation, and only fair scores in speaking assessments. In conclusion, speaking anxiety is a common phenomenon in English classrooms, and teachers need to provide motivation, supportive learning environments, and more speaking practice to help students reduce their anxiety and improve their performance.
