Abstract

Multilingualism is a defining feature of higher education in West Aceh, where students navigate complex linguistic environments across academic and social domains. Understanding how these students manage language choice and code-switching offers insight into the dynamics of communication in multilingual contexts. This study aims to examine the code-switching practices and language preferences of multilingual students in a university setting. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were gathered from five English department students through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns in language behavior across different contexts. The analysis revealed that tag switching, particularly the insertion of Bahasa Indonesia phrases into English discourse, was the most frequent code-switching strategy during classroom interactions. Outside the classroom, Acehnese was predominantly used in domestic settings, while Bahasa Indonesia and English were commonly used in peer communication. Participants indicated that lecturers' use of code-switching between English and Bahasa Indonesia facilitated comprehension of complex academic content. These findings underscore the strategic and context-dependent use of multiple languages among students, reflecting the dynamic and adaptive nature of multilingual practices in West Aceh's higher education landscape.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of blended learning method and students’ self-efficacy on Self-directed Learning, as well as the combined effect of both variables on students’ self-directed learning. The research follows a quantitative approach and utilizes a survey method to collect data. The sample size consisted of 341 students which was determined using the Slovin formula with α = 5%. It comprised 219 students from MAN 1 Banda Aceh, 56 students from SMKS Pharmacy CUT Mutia, and 66 Students from Labschool (Senior high schoool). The data was obtained through the distribution of valid and reliable questionnaires and analyzed quantitatively.  The questionnaire consists of 3 items: Self-Regulated Learning, adapted from Zimmerman (1989); Blended Learning, adapted from Staker & Horn (2012); and Student Self-Efficacy, adapted from Bandura (2006). A multicollinearity test was conducted to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that the blended learning method had a positive effect on students’ self-directed learning, accounting for 30.4% of the variance. The blended learning method and self-efficacy combined had a positive effect on students’ self-directed learning, accounting for 62.3% of the variance. In summary, apart from the blended learning method and self-efficacy, approximately 37.5% of other variables influenced Students’ Self-directed Learning.  Self-efficacy was found to have a more dominant contribution to students’ self-directed learning compared to the blended learning method.
