Abstract

Second language acquisition (SLA) research has extensively examined language learning in formal, often monolingual, classroom settings, there is a noticeable lack of empirical investigation into how polyglots acquire, manage, and sustain multiple languages. This gap is particularly significant given the rising importance of multilingualism in a globalized world and the proven cognitive, cultural, and professional benefits it offers. This qualitative case study examines the language learning strategies of Indonesian polyglot proficient in seven languages: Indonesian, English, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, and Latin. Through a purposive sampling method, the participant was interviewed via Zoom, and data were analysed using Oxford’s (1990) taxonomy of language learning strategies. The study identified both direct strategies (memory, cognitive, compensation) and indirect strategies (metacognitive, affective, social) used by the participant. Findings reveal that the participant’s language proficiency is achieved through a strategic integration of diverse methods tailored to specific goals and contexts. Motivation driven by extrinsic factors like scholarships, personal interests, and intrinsic spiritual reasons played an important part of learning a language intensity. The participant preferred structured tools, analytical comparisons, and regular practice, while affective and social strategies helped manage emotional challenges and maintain motivation. This study supports Oxford’s framework and highlights the importance of clear goals, sustained motivation, and community engagement in successful multilingual acquisition.

Abstract

This study investigates the reading strategies employed by seventh-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Tadulako University. This study employs a qualitative descriptive design aimed at exploring and analyzing the strategies used by students to comprehend academic texts. The data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 21 students. The questionnaire includes statements rated on a Likert scale (from 1 = Never to 5 = Always). The findings reveal that while students frequently use strategies such as skimming, scanning, rereading, and using dictionaries to enhance comprehension, other strategies like summarizing, note-taking, and connecting ideas with prior knowledge are used. Moreover, many students rely on translation into their first language and assistance from friends, indicating ongoing challenges in processing academic texts in English. The study provides valuable insights for educators aiming to improve students reading comprehension on academic text.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors contributing to student anxiety during classroom presentations, particularly among fourth-semester students in the English Education Program at Tadulako University. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved questionnaires using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that psychological factors (e.g., low self-confidence, fear of negative evaluation), social factors (peer and teacher pressure), and environmental conditions (e.g., formal settings, lack of preparation time) significantly contribute to students’ anxiety levels. The research underscores the need for supportive classroom environments, targeted teaching strategies, and regular feedback to help students manage presentation anxiety effectively. This paper contributes to the development of anxiety-reduction interventions that can enhance students' oral communication competence in academic settings.

Abstract

This research explores the common linguistic features found in the spoken English of Indonesian employees in corporate settings, focusing on grammatical, pronunciation, and vocabulary aspects. The primary objective of this research is to identify and analyze the errors made by Indonesian employees when using English in professional contexts. The research utilizes qualitative methods, involving interviews with employees from various corporate sectors, analyzing their spoken English for common linguistic patterns. The research finds that significant grammatical errors include the omission of plural noun markers (-s/-es), incorrect usage of auxiliary verbs, and the overuse of "to be" in present sentences. Pronunciation errors, such as mispronouncing the ‘v’ sound as ‘f’, and the tendency to apply Indonesian pronunciation patterns, were also prevalent. Additionally, vocabulary usage showed signs of direct translation from Indonesian, resulting in inappropriate word choices. The findings highlight the influence of native language structures on English proficiency, particularly in formal communication. This research emphasizes the need for tailored language training to address these specific challenges, including focused grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary exercises. It is suggested that such interventions would improve the clarity and effectiveness of English communication among Indonesian employees in the corporate environment. Future researches may further explore sociolinguistic factors and evaluate the efficacy of proposed language improvement programs.

Abstract

Social construction and social status conflict are important issues in literary sociology studies, including in Nizami's Layla Majnun. The character of Qais in this novel represents the complex dynamics between social norms, societal expectations, and personal identity. This study aims to describe how social construction shapes Qais' role and position in society, as well as how social status conflict affects his life journey and choices. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a sociology of literature approach. The results show that Qais experiences strong social pressure due to class differences and cultural norms that hinder his love for Layla. Qais' social status as a poet who is considered crazy by society symbolizes resistance to rigid social constructions. The character of Qais represents an individual trapped in a social system that does not give him space, but still shows sincerity and firmness in defending his love and beliefs. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the impact of social construction on individual freedom and the relevance of social status conflict in modern life.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the form and meaning of amr as well as the structural components of imperative sentences in the book Ṣuwar min Ḥayātiṣ-Ṣaḥābah by Dr. Abdurrahman Ra’fat Al-Basha, using a semantic approach. This approach focuses on the meaning of language within a specific context. A semantic approach allows for an analysis of how the meaning of amr can vary depending on its situational usage, whether literal (Ḥaqīqī) or figurative (majāzī). The research method employed is descriptive-analytic, which serves to describe and provide an overview of the object under study through collected data or samples. The data were obtained from excerpts containing imperative verbs (fiʻl amr), which were classified according to their form and implied meaning, and then analyzed based on the theory of amr proposed by Ahmad Al-Hāsyimī. The results of this study indicate that the concept of amr in Ṣuwar min Ḥayātiṣ-Ṣaḥābah encompasses seven meanings: 55 instances of literal command (Ḥaqīqī), 2 of honoring (ikrām), 4 of permission (iʾzn), 28 of supplication (duʿāʾ), 43 of guidance (irshād), 17 of request among equals (iltimās), and 8 of threat (tahdīd). Morphologically, the imperative forms appear in two patterns: fiʻl mujarrad (basic/root verbs) and fiʻl mazīd (augmented verbs), both transitive and intransitive. Syntactically, the structure of amr typically follows the pattern: verb (fiʻl) – subject (fāʻil) – object (mafʻūl bih) – preposition (ḥarf jar) and vocative (nida'). Keywords: Balaghah, Fi'il Amr, Ṣuwar min Ḥayātiṣ - Ṣahābah
