Abstract

Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society, examining how social factors influence language use. This qualitative study investigated the use of translanguaging and language varieties within the sociolinguistic context of communicative practices between lecturers and sixth-semester English Education students at HKBP Nommensen University. The research aimed to identify the types of translanguaging and language varieties employed and to explore their benefits in enhancing classroom communication. Findings revealed that lecturers predominantly utilized language style (16 data) as a form of language variation, reflecting their personal communication approaches. In terms of translanguaging, personal translanguaging (20 data) was most prevalent, indicating a natural integration of multiple linguistic resources. The study highlighted that both language variation and translanguaging significantly improved communication, comprehension, and student engagement. Lecturers and students reported that these practices facilitated the expression of complex ideas, boosted confidence, and fostered a more inclusive learning environment. The research suggests that incorporating translanguaging and language variation, including multilingual resources and the integration of students' first languages, is crucial for optimizing educational outcomes in EFL contexts

Abstract

This research investigates the speaking difficulties faced by second-semester students of the English Education Research Program at Nommensen HKBP University. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research identifies the types of difficulties students encounter, the contributing factors, and the proposed solutions. Data were collected through classroom observation and interviews with 10 students. The findings indicate that the main types of speaking difficulties include inhibition, nothing to say, low or uneven participation, and the use of the mother tongue, based on Ur Penny’s framework. These issues are influenced by internal factors such as anxiety, lack of vocabulary, low self-confidence, and external factors including teaching methods and classroom environment. The analysis also reveals that students often rely on their native language due to discomfort with English. Solutions suggested include consistent practice, vocabulary enhancement, supportive teacher feedback, and promoting an English-only environment in class. This research is expected to provide useful insights for educators in designing more effective instructional strategies and improving students' communicative competence.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze speech disruptions experienced by second-grade students of SMA Negeri 14 Medan during oral presentations. Speech disruption, refers to interruptions in the flow of speech that affect fluency and clarity. The research focuses on identifying the types, frequency, causes, and impacts of these disruptions on students’ speaking performance. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through classroom observations of students’ oral presentations and semi-structured interviews with selected participants. The speech disruptions were categorized following Gleason and Ratner’s (1998) framework, which includes hesitation, repetition, false starts, and filler words. The findings reveal that repetition is the most dominant type of speech disruption, accounting for 35.80% of occurrences, followed by hesitation (27.78%), filler words (25.30%), and false starts (11.11%). The study also identifies several factors contributing to these disruptions, including lack of preparation, low confidence, nervousness, and limited vocabulary, with lack of preparation being the most significant. These disruptions negatively affect students’ fluency and the effectiveness of their communication, often making it difficult for listeners to follow the intended message. The study suggests that improving students’ preparation, building their confidence, expanding vocabulary, and managing speaking anxiety are crucial strategies to reduce speech disruptions and enhance oral proficiency. This research contributes valuable insights for EFL teachers to better understand and address the challenges faced by students in speaking activities, ultimately supporting the development of more effective teaching approaches to foster fluent and confident English speakers.
