Abstract

This study investigates the role of attention and memory in EFL listening comprehension from a psycholinguistic perspective. Listening comprehension requires rapid processing of spoken input under time pressure, which places heavy demands on learners’ cognitive resources. This research employed a quantitative correlational design involving undergraduate EFL learners. Data were collected using an attention task, a listening-based working memory task, and a standardized EFL listening comprehension test. Statistical analysis revealed significant positive relationships between attention, working memory, and listening comprehension. The results show that learners with stronger attentional control achieved better listening outcomes, while working memory emerged as the strongest predictor of listening performance. The findings also indicate a close interaction between attention and memory, suggesting that focused attention supports effective memory encoding during listening. These results confirm that listening difficulties are not solely caused by limited linguistic knowledge but also by cognitive constraints. The study contributes to psycholinguistic research by highlighting the importance of general cognitive mechanisms in second language listening. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that EFL listening instruction should consider cognitive load and learners’ processing capacity to support more effective comprehension.

Abstract

This study investigates lexical density in English and Indonesian academic prose using a qualitative contrastive approach. Drawing on authentic journal articles from comparable academic fields, the analysis focuses on how each language organizes and packages meaning in academic writing. The findings reveal that English academic prose tends to achieve high lexical density through nominalization and complex noun phrases, allowing writers to compress information and advance arguments in an abstract and cumulative manner. Indonesian academic prose, by contrast, often develops meaning through verbal clauses and explicit relational markers, resulting in a more elaborative and linear style. These differences reflect distinct discourse preferences rather than differences in academic quality. The study explains how such contrasts contribute to difficulties experienced by Indonesian writers when producing English academic texts. It also highlights the importance of contrastive awareness in academic writing instruction and evaluation
