Abstract

This study aims to know the level of motivation in speaking class and to investigate the significant relationship between students’ motivation and speaking achievement. The subject of this study was thirty-four students in the third semester of English Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Twenty-five statements of questionnaires inquiring about motivation levels and speaking achievement were used as the primary data sources. Motivation type was divided into 2, instrumental and integrative motivation, and the data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative. Speaking achievements from the lecturer were divided into excellent, good, average, low, and very low. Pearson Correlation was used to describe the relationship between students’ motivation and achievement. The result showed that students' motivation level was high and had no significant relationship between students’ motivation and their achievement in speaking class, so motivation is not the only factor that can increase students' speaking achievement. This study illustrates that speaking lecturers need to find another factor to boost students' speaking achievement.

As it lets us socialize on a wide scale, students can take advantage of it by socializing with native speakers to improve their conversation skill. Social media creates a fun environment that removes the burden of students to practice conversation as it does in common ways.

Therefore this study also wants to find out the significance comparison between HelloTalk app and the role-play method for students’ conversation skill.

Compared to roleplay method, HelloTalk App is more effective to improve students’ pronunciation, intonation, grammar, and confidence. The experimental class students who received treatment using the HelloTalk App had their conversation skill improved more significantly compared to the role-play method as the control group.

The data were song lyrics and symbolic cues pictured in the video clip evaluated using Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. They were categorized by any kinds of figurative expressions delivered to disclose the intended meaning and understand symbolic appearances to find its contribution for language studying. The findings reveal that the majority of clues delivered are trying to express the story of the song about the king who is not longer to be a ruler. The use of figurative expression increases the language learners knowledge about hyperbole, personification and metaphor for they are able to explore insight and their imagination. The clues are shown expressively through the symbols of the singer and band players. Some language features used for language teaching related with parts of speech, tenses, and pronunciation. This song can be used as a teaching material to explore more comprehensive about the figurative language, symbol in literary works and to teach English as well.

Abstract

This research discusses the role of speech acts in communication, which are classified into five categories by Searle. Qualitative methods and literature research are used to explore the impact of a socio-pragmatic approach in language learning on children's development. Factors such as biological evolution, cognitive factors and the environment also influence children's language development, with parents playing an important role in providing positive stimuli to develop children's language skills. Socio pragmatics, as a branch of linguistics, highlights how social factors influence language use in communication contexts. Language development in children is considered crucial because through language, children can develop their social abilities. Parents and educators have an important role in supporting children's language development, in line with Society Activity Theory which emphasizes the importance of social interaction in language learning. Speech acts, as a means of conveying ideas and feelings, are a key element in children's communication and language learning proccess

Abstract

This study was aimed to explore the teachers’ perceptions and practices of infusing critical thinking skills into reading instruction to improve students’ reading comprehension. It also identified the perceived challenges that hinder the practices of critical thinking skills in reading classes. The research utilized a descriptive survey design and an explanatory mixed-methods approach to collect data. The study involved 40 out of 52 English instructors and three reading texts teachers used to practice reading comprehension questions were randomly selected. Besides, texts used for quiz, mid-exam and final examination were purposely collected to evaluate the text to which the teachers integrated critical thinking skills classroom reading activities and assessments. Quantitative data was gathered through questionnaires, while qualitative data was obtained through document analysis. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24, and content analysis was used for the qualitative data. The survey results revealed that teachers had moderate level of perceptions of integrating critical thinking skills (m=3.59) and identified that student-related challenges (m= 3.76) as significant obstacles to practice critical thinking skills. The results of document analysis indicated that critical thinking skills practiced rarely. It can be concluded that teachers' conceptual perception at moderate level was not adequate to infuse critical thinking skills into reading instruction to enhance students' reading comprehension. Therefore, it is crucial to train teachers in the integration of critical thinking skills into an interactive reading curriculum to motivate and engage students and help them understand the reading skills more deeply. Further research is recommended to explore the impact of teachers' perceptions of critical thinking skills on students' reading comprehension
