Abstract

This research seeks to investigate the study of slang discourse seen in the TikTok comment sections of East Kalimantan users. Slang is a kind of informal language that sounds very entertaining, trendy, and creative. Normally, the usage of the language is mostly by young people so that they can express their feelings, interact with others, and follow what is trending in the digital world. For this reason, this research aims to unveil what types of slang people use, its uses, and how it reflects identity and communication strategies. The research utilizes qualitative descriptive methodologies for data collection, which is gathered from TikTok comments and interviews conducted with eight users from East Kalimantan. The findings reveal that various etiquettes of slang are greatly influenced by both the world and local culture. Some popular terms include “anjay,” “gacor,” “slay,” and “rizz,” among others. Most users learn slang from TikTok and Instagram and extend it in a way that makes them sound modern, funny, or relatable. Slang also helps people feel part of a group and, at the same time, more quickly communicate their thoughts.

Abstract

This study investigates University students' perceptions of the machine translation tool DeepL in the context of learning English as Foreign Language (EFL). The main objective was to explore the frequency of use with the tool through the TAM Theory. Using a descriptive qualitative research approach, the purpose of sampling was used to select four university EFL students, who were categorized as frequent and infrequent users of DeepL. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. The results showed that frequent users of DeepL appreciated its effectiveness in vocabulary acquisition, translation accuracy, and academic writing support. In contrast, infrequent users expressed concerns about limitations such as the lack of a paraphrasing feature and the formality issues. These findings highlight significant differences in user experience based on frequency of use and the need for further research with larger and more diverse samples to validate these results. Recommendations for future research include incorporating feedback from users to improve functionality and meet the evolving needs of EFL learners. This research contributes to the understanding of the role of machine translation technology in language learning and offers insights for future research.

Abstract

In human society, the need for interpersonal connection has given rise to the emergence of language. Beyond serving as a medium of communication, language functions as a vehicle for articulating emotions and conveying thoughts, with its use shaped by contextual and situational factors. This research seeks to examine the language styles engaged by students of the English Education Department at Mulawarman University, using Martin Joos’ (1976) theory and Holmes (2013) as sociolinguistic theory. The study investigates the categories of language styles used in students' speech and the factors influencing their choice of style. A qualitative method was applied, utilizing data from a recorded video interview and follow-up semi-structured interviews with two selected participants. Data analysis was undertaken using thematic analysis guided by Braun and Clarke (2006) framework. The findings reveal that three out of five language styles formulated by Joos—consultative, casual, and intimate—were used by the participants, with consultative style being the most dominant. Language style occurred primarily in academic contexts, especially when interacting with instructors or unfamiliar individuals. Factors influencing language style include the speaker, setting, topic, and function, in alignment with Holmes’ (1992) sociolinguistic theory. Furthermore, although participants often identified their style as “formal,” triangulation with Joos’ and Braund and Clarke theory revealed that their usage aligned as consultative features. These findings provide valuable insights into how language styles function in educational settings and highlight the importance of context in language use.

Abstract

Anxiety is a prevalent psychological factor that influences the learning process, particularly in language acquisition, where it can shape students’ confidence, engagement, and overall performance. In contexts where English is learned as a foreign language, anxiety is often linked to students' ability to navigate language learning challenges, affecting both their success and struggles in mastering the language. Understanding the extent of foreign language anxiety and its specific effects is essential, given its potential impact. This study investigates students’ anxiety levels, examines gender differences, and explores the relationship between anxiety and English achievement. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted with 105 students in Samarinda, Indonesia, using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCA) to measure anxiety and final semester scores to assess achievement. Data analysis using SPSS version 25 revealed that students experienced a high level of foreign language anxiety (M = 3.4459), with female students reporting slightly higher anxiety than males. However, the difference was not statistically significant. Correlation analysis showed a weak negative association (r = -.101, p = .306), suggesting that anxiety had little to no impact on achievement. These findings provide insights into foreign language anxiety in EFL contexts, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to create a more supportive learning environment and enhance language learning experiences.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the problems faced by university students in English speaking classes across different proficiency levels at one of the universities in East Kalimantan and their strategies to overcome the problems. This research used a quantitative survey method. The data was collected using a questionnaire divided into two sections, speaking problems and strategies, shared using Google Forms. 85 of 100 students answered the questionnaire. The findings revealed that the most prevalent problems were affective-related (68.7%) and linguistic-related (62.0%). Specifically, 83.5% of students reported fear of making mistakes, 82.4% struggled with overuse of their mother tongue, and 75.3% faced insufficient grammar knowledge. Beginner students exhibited the highest frequency of issues, with 100% acknowledging fear of mistakes, while intermediate and advanced students also reported significant affective and linguistic challenges, albeit at slightly lower rates (e.g., 86% and 74% for fear of mistakes, respectively). Coping strategies varied by proficiency level: beginners relied heavily on passive methods like watching movies (75%), while intermediate students incorporated more interactive strategies, such as peer practice (37.9%). Advanced learners demonstrated balanced strategies, including regular speaking practice (52.2%) and peer interaction (60.9%). The study results underline the need for tailored pedagogical interventions to support students’ emotional readiness and language competence, emphasizing the importance of strategic practice environments and personalized feedback.
