Abstract

Improving students’ ability to speak English confidently and fluently remains a challenge in many higher education institutions, including STKIP YPUP Makassar. Although speaking is a core skill in English education programs, many learners still struggle to express themselves effectively. To address this, Project-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as a promising method, offering students the chance to actively use language through meaningful and collaborative tasks. This study aims to examine the students’ emotional involvement in learning speaking through Project-Based Learning approach at the students of STKIP YPUP in 2024/2025 academic year. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, documentation, and project outputs produced by the students. This study investigates how PBL influences students' emotional engagement and speaking development in an ESL context. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research gathered data through classroom observations, interviews with students, analysis of learning documents, and assessments of various student-led projects such as group presentations, performances, and interviews conducted in English. The results show that integrating PBL into speaking classes not only boosted students’ participation and motivation but also helped them become more confident and expressive in using the language. In addition, students reported feeling more connected to the learning process, and they developed skills such as teamwork, accountability, and critical thinking. Overall, the findings suggest that PBL can be an effective and engaging alternative for improving speaking instruction in higher education ESL settings.

Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) plays a crucial role in preparing students of Islamic Library and Information Science (ILIS) to access global resources, understand international cataloguing standards, engage with digital information systems, and participate in global academic discourse. However, students’ interest in English learning in many Indonesian Islamic higher education institutions remains limited, often due to language anxiety, limited exposure, and perceived irrelevance to their disciplinary identity. This study seeks to investigate the potential for pedagogical integration of interpersonal intelligence into ESP instruction with the aim of raising student engagement and the subject matter relevance in English learning. Adopting a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted in an ILIS English classroom at UIN Datokarama Palu. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with 18 students, and analysis of instructional documents. The data were analysed using thematic analysis involving open, axial, and selective coding procedures, with methodological triangulation to ensure credibility and analytical rigor. The findings reveal that interpersonal intelligence-based strategies such as peer collaboration, dialog interaction, group problem solving, and socially mediated feedback significantly increase students’ engagement, self-confidence, and willingness to use English, as well as create a positive learning environment. More significantly, embedding ILIS specific disciplinary tasks within collaborative activities strengthens students’ professional identity and situational relevance awareness, thereby transforming English learning into a socially mediated and career-oriented practice. This study contributes to ESP scholarship by proposing an identity-integrated interpersonal framework that connects socio-emotional interaction with disciplinary discourse practices. Although limited to a single institutional context, the findings offer empirical insight into how socially constructed ESP environments can sustain engagement and professional readiness in Islamic higher education settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visual, Intellectual) method in enhancing the speaking ability of third-semester EFL students at the Muslim University of Indonesia. The research employed a pre-experimental design, utilizing pre-test and post-test assessments to evaluate changes in students’ speaking performance. Thirty-two students participated in the study, with speaking accuracy measured in terms of pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and fluency. The findings revealed significant improvements in students’ speaking ability after the SAVI intervention. The mean pre-test score of 2.59 increased to 5.25 in the post-test, and statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between the two assessments. Students exhibited enhanced articulation, grammatical accuracy, and lexical richness, alongside greater confidence and willingness to participate in oral activities. These results indicate that multi-sensory learning strategies can foster holistic development and strengthen communicative competence, surpassing traditional lecture-based approaches in promoting effective language use. The study highlights the practical implications of integrating SAVI methods into EFL instruction, emphasizing the value of active engagement, real-time feedback, and interactive classroom practices. The findings suggest that educators can achieve measurable improvements in speaking proficiency by employing sensory-based pedagogical interventions. Additionally, the research provides insights for curriculum designers and teacher training programs, advocating for flexible, learner-centered approaches that align with modern communicative language teaching principles.

Abstract

This research explores lecturers’ experiences with implementing Task-Based Instruction (TBI) in teaching English to mechanical engineering students at UKI Toraja. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with English lecturers involved in the engineering program. Thematic analysis revealed four major findings. First, lecturers expressed positive perceptions toward TBI, noting that task-based activities promoted active learning and made English more relevant to students’ vocational needs. Second, TBI was implemented through authentic, engineering-related tasks such as describing machine parts, explaining work procedures, and presenting technical solutions, although lecturers noted that designing such tasks required additional preparation. Third, challenges emerged in applying TBI, including students’ low English proficiency, limited resources, large class sizes, and time constraints. Finally, lecturers reported that students generally responded positively to TBI, showing higher motivation and engagement when tasks were concrete, visual, and connected to real engineering contexts. Despite existing obstacles, the study concludes that TBI has strong potential to enhance English learning in vocational settings. Recommendations include improving institutional support, enriching teaching resources, and strengthening collaboration between English and engineering lecturers to optimize TBI implementation at UKI Toraja.

Abstract

Discrepancies between lecturers’ and students’ perceptions of formative assessment can weaken instructional alignment and reduce learning effectiveness in higher education. This study aimed to (1) describe formative assessment practices at STAIN Majene and (2) compare lecturers’ and students’ perceptions across five dimensions: learning objectives, monitoring, feedback, self-assessment, and peer assessment. Using a descriptive quantitative, cross-sectional design, questionnaire data were collected from 20 lecturers and 250 odd-semester students at STAIN Majene. The instrument consisted of 25 items and demonstrated acceptable internal consistency across dimensions, with combined Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from .70 to .83. Descriptive findings revealed that lecturers rated learning objectives (M = 4.38, SD = 0.533) and monitoring (M = 4.02, SD = 0.536) more positively, while students rated feedback most highly (M = 4.40, SD = 0.554). Inferential analysis using Welch’s independent-samples t test showed significant differences in learning objectives, t(21.71) = 8.115, p < .001, and feedback, t(24.51) = -10.289, p < .001, while monitoring and peer assessment did not differ significantly. Self-assessment showed a smaller difference at the .05 level, t(24.51) = -2.374, p = .026. Overall, the findings suggest that formative assessment at STAIN Majene remains stronger in lecturer-led practices than in learner-activating dimensions, particularly peer assessment. As an institutional study situated in a state Islamic higher education context in West Sulawesi, this research contributes empirical evidence on lecturer–student perceptual gaps and offers directions for strengthening learning objective transparency, sustaining effective feedback, and systematizing self- and peer-assessment practices.

Abstract

Meeting the increasing demand for internationally benchmarked English listening exams is difficult, especially in educational settings with limited resources. In a human–AI collaboration framework, this study investigates the feasibility of using generative artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT-4, to support the early development of English listening scripts and test items aligned with the CEFR. Using an exploratory research design, the study generated 20 listening scripts and matching multiple-choice questions across CEFR reference levels A2, B1, B2, and C1 using an iterative prompt engineering technique called Progressive-Hint Prompting (PHP). The produced materials were examined using Text Inspector's descriptive linguistic metrics, which included qualitative assessments of spoken discourse characteristics, topical coverage, and distractor plausibility, as well as lexical profile, readability, and script length. The results show that when guided by structured prompts and ongoing human evaluation, ChatGPT-4 can perform well as a drafting aid. The created scripts demonstrated systematic linguistic variance across CEFR reference levels, particularly in lexical range and text complexity. Nevertheless, several drawbacks were noted, including unequal topical distribution, decreased pragmatic naturalness at higher competence levels, and inconsistent calibration of spoken discourse features. To ensure that distractors were text-based and aligned with assessment criteria, item quality needed to be refined iteratively. These results imply that iterative human-AI interaction, rather than automated generation alone, determines the quality of AI-generated listening materials. The study emphasizes the ongoing importance of professional human oversight while highlighting the potential of generative AI as a resource-efficient support tool for the development of listening assessments. To investigate the efficacy of AI-assisted materials in operational assessment contexts, future research should focus on empirical validation with test takers.

Abstract

Despite continuous pedagogical refinement and extensive use of multimedia resources, grammar learning outcomes among EFL learners often remain below academic expectations, particularly in higher education contexts where grammatical accuracy is essential for academic writing. This study aims to investigate the mismatch between grammar teaching strategies and grammar learning strategies among Gen Z EFL learners, and to examine how such mismatch influences grammar learning effectiveness. Employing an explanatory mixed-method design, quantitative data were collected through a grammar learning strategy questionnaire administered to undergraduate students and a grammar teaching strategy inventory completed by the lecturer, while qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews and analysis of grammar-related writing tasks. The findings indicate that learners employ a range of grammar learning strategies, with a strong reliance on technology-mediated strategies. Grammar instruction is characterized by explicit explanation and intensive multimedia use; however, opportunities for interactive practice and application-oriented assessment remain limited. This condition generates strategy–pedagogy mismatch, manifested in instruction–practice mismatch, assessment–application mismatch, and strategy–cognition mismatch. Qualitative evidence shows that although learners perceive grammar instruction as clear and supportive, many struggle to retain grammatical knowledge and apply it independently in writing tasks. These conditions contribute to fragile grammar retention, limited grammar internalization, and cognitive passivity in grammar learning. The study concludes that persistent grammar learning difficulties are not caused by insufficient instructional effort, but by strategy–pedagogy mismatch. Pedagogically, the findings suggest the need for grammar instruction that integrates practice-intensive learning cycles, application-oriented assessment, and pedagogically guided use of digital tools to strengthen grammar retention and promote independent grammatical control among Gen Z EFL learners.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the constraints that hinder the realization of critical thinking in students’ oral argumentation in higher education contexts. The study employed an interpretive qualitative case study design. The participants were four purposively selected lecturers who teach speaking courses emphasizing argumentative discussion at Universitas Muhammadiyah Bone. They had at least one semester of experience facilitating academic speaking activities and were selected through maximum variation sampling to capture diverse instructional perspectives. Data were collected through classroom observations, audio recordings of academic speaking activities, and interviews with lecturers. Thematic analysis was conducted iteratively to identify recurring linguistic, affective, and pedagogical constraints. The findings indicate that students’ oral argumentation is largely dominated by descriptive claims, with limited use of evidence, warrants, and rebuttals, revealing a gap between students’ critical thinking potential and their oral performance. This gap is affected by related language issues, like having a small vocabulary and not speaking smoothly; emotional factors, such as anxiety and fear of being judged; and teaching conditions, like not having enough training in argumentation and support for academic reading and writing. The study concludes that critical thinking in oral argumentation should be understood as a context-dependent and discursive practice rather than merely an individual cognitive ability. So, the research highlights the importance of teaching methods that combine language skills, emotional support, and clear training in argumentation to help improve critical thinking through speaking in higher education.
