The focus of linguistic research has been shift in the past five years from face to face communication to online communication. This research employed content analysis on a number of articles that had been published in linguistics journals across Indonesia since 2020 to 2024, with linguistic aspect in social media as the main focus of the research. This current research has revealed that in the past five years, the number of publications used social media as their data source had improved. Among those publications, the most dominant research designed was qualitative descriptive. In addition, content analysis is the most dominant method to analyze the data. Instagram is the most frequently platform used as data resources in linguistic research. Researchers are particularly interested to investigate pragmatic aspects towards the online communication in social media. Based on the findings, future research is encouraged to use more diverse research designs, expand the scope of linguistic domains, and explore new platforms such as threads to better capture evolving digital language trends. Researchers are also advised to continuously adapt their methods and analyses to the dynamic nature of online communication in Indonesia.

Maintaining focus in writing is among the underemphasized but critical areas of academic literacy, particularly among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Indonesian EFL learners mostly put more effort into maintaining thematic coherence and logical coherence of writing despite their operationally effective grammatical and lexical control. Although writing pedagogy is a stronghold of language instruction, little has been investigated in Indonesia which seeks to investigate students' capacity to maintain focus, a fundamental skill in guaranteeing coherent and effective texts. This research was prompted by the noted lack of pedagogical focus and empirical investigation of focus in writing, and particularly at the tertiary level. Using a qualitative case study design, the researcher examined the writing of 25 second-semester business management students. Participants were tasked with composing personal narratives and reflecting on their writing experiences. After that, the students' writings were evaluated based on five criteria, such as clarity of main idea, relevance of supporting details, consistency, topic unity, transitions and coherence. Findings reveal that the majority of students demonstrated Limited to Basic proficiency in all five areas with the highest deficiencies observed in topic unity and consistency. Also, most of the students can write sentences but struggle to organize and connect the ideas logically correspond to the theme. The data also shows that the participants faced significant linguistic and cognitive challenges, such in expressing ideas fluently, selecting appropriate vocabulary, and understanding genre-based writing. This study underscores the urgent need for a pedagogical shift that adopt a process-based which constructivist approaches that view writing as a repeated activity involving planning, drafting, reviewing, and revising. Such an approach recognizes that effective writing instruction must extend beyond grammatical correctness and surface-level features.

This study examined the speaking performance of first-semester EFL students with theme speaking tasks emphasizing pronunciation, fluency, and clarity. Thematic speaking tasks enabled learners to have authentic and purposeful communication, enabling teachers to evaluate oral production in authentic situations. The participants were asked to record their speaking with the theme given. Data were analysed descriptively with recorded one-minute speaking samples rated on a five-point scale. Most participants showed emerging control over pronunciation but all experienced challenges in articulatory accuracy, stress, and rhythm, influencing their fluency and message clarity. The participants also revealed hesitancy and lexical limitedness which points towards the initial stages of oral achievement. In terms of pedagogy, the results imply that students' pronunciation should be instructed with the integration of both segmental and suprasegmental aspects, whereas fluency should be developed via communicative and task-based practices. Shadowing, imitation, and lexical expansion can further enhance clarity-oriented activities towards achieving better intelligibility. In conclusion, thematic speaking activities are useful in identifying learners' oral competence and weakness and can be useful tools towards guiding pronunciation and fluency correction. Future studies should include a larger number, longer observation, and the incorporation of technology-assisted correction towards favoring sustained development in the domain of speaking.

This study examined the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) that was integrated with video conferencing platforms such as OmeTV to assess its impact on willingness to communicate (WTC) in English. Fifty students from vocational college were selected as an experimental group who received PBL approach, and another fifty students participated as a control group, who only attended video conferencing session. The study employed mixed methods, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data, to investigate students’ improvement on WTC before and after the implementation of PBL activities. A questionnaire was developed by adopting WTC model from McIntyre (1998) to assess the effectiveness of PBL on the students’ WTC; meanwhile, in-depth interviews took place to explore the experiences and perspectives of how a supportive English environment can influence their WTC, challenge them to use English more actively and interactively, and overcome the difficulty of misunderstanding across cultures. The findings revealed a significant improvement in WTC for the experimental group, indicated by a t-value of 16.780 (p 0.001) and an R² increase from 45.3% to 85.4%. Conversely, the control group showed moderate improvement (t-value of 12.333, p 0.001) and an R² increase from 12.8% to 76%. This implied that video conferencing alone had a positive effect on the students’ WTC, but it was less impactful compared to the experimental groups who received PBL approach. Meanwhile, the interview results highlighted three key themes, namely, 1) feeling motivated to continue communicating in English and building confidence as an indicator of improved WTC, 2) challenges with foreigners helped them identify and overcome their language barrier and fear of making mistakes, and 3) usefulness of video conferencing session that provided authentic communication. Video conferencing platforms, such as OmeTV, enhance students' communication skills and build their confidence. Overall, the study contributes to the development of pedagogical approaches, as PBL offered student-centered learning to enhance their English language proficiency and communicative competence in the context of vocational students.
