Abstract

This study examines at the sociolinguistic phenomena of code-switching among English-Buginese bilingual university students, with a focus on how it helps them negotiate their identities in academic and social settings. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from simulated but contextually authentic interactions such as classroom discussions, peer conversations, and semi-structured interviews. Based on Gumperz's (1982) interactional sociolinguistics and Myers-Scotton's (1993) markedness model, the analysis identified three types of code-switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag-switching. The findings show that in academic settings, English is frequently employed to communicate formality, academic authority, and alignment with global academic discourse, whereas Buginese is utilized to maintain solidarity, cultural identity, and shared heritage. In social situations, code-switching promotes humor, emotional expression, and pragmatic efficiency. Switching can be triggered by topic switches, lexical gaps, emphasis, or audience adjustment. The findings show that code-switching is not just a linguistic alternation, but also a conscious communicative resource for identity formation. These findings help to better understand bilingual language behaviors in multilingual societies and have implications for bilingual education and language policy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores how students at an Islamic university engage in self-directed learning (SDL) to enhance their English listening skills and what motivates that engagement. Using a qualitative descriptive design, semi-structured offline interviews were conducted with seven 6th–8th semester English majors (June 16–17, 2025). Data were transcribed, coded, and member-checked. Findings show that students set academic/professional goals (e.g., TOEFL/IELTS, postgraduate study, employability) as well as social/personal goals (e.g., reducing insecurity, building confidence). They select authentic, accessible materials YouTube, podcasts/TED Talks, films, songs, TikTok and employ repetition, note-taking, shadowing, and self-evaluation (e.g., prediction tests), with technology functioning as a central enabler. Key challenges include wavering motivation, focus and consistency, time constraints, and distracting environments; feedback from lecturers/peers and perseverance (personal drive, family support, future aspirations) help sustain progress. Intrinsic (interest, enjoyment, competitiveness) and extrinsic factors (exams, career targets, lecturer cues, peer influence) jointly shape SDL. The study concludes that SDL is vital for listening development when autonomy is supported by purposeful goals, strategic routines, constructive feedback, and technology use. Implications include designing autonomy-oriented tasks, guiding critical use of digital resources, and improving institutional supports (labs, study groups, workshops) to foster lifelong learning.
