Abstract

The world is presently undergoing a fourth industrial revolution. Artificial intelligence, supercomputers, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, autonomous transportation, and innovation. This study investigated the impact of an interactive E-module as an innovative English learning tool for D3 Dental Engineering students during the Industrial Revolution 4.0. This study employed a quasi-experimental methodology, incorporating both experimental and control groups. The sample consisted of 56 students, including first-semester students from the D3 Dental Engineering and D3 Midwifery programs, totalling 28 students. The findings demonstrated that the implementation of interactive E-modules as an innovative approach to English learning during the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era had a significant effect, as evidenced by the higher average posttest score of D3 Dental Engineering students (M = 72.86; SD = 10.752) compared to that of D3 Midwifery students (M = 63.75; SD = 12.143). Implementing an interactive E-module significantly influences English learning outcomes for first-semester students. This research emphasizes the necessity of interactive E-modules as an innovative approach to students in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, highlighting the need for more effective learning methods. The implication of interactive e-module is digitally delivered learning materials designed to enhance engagement and interactivity.

Abstract

This study investigates the pronunciation challenges Indonesian EFL learners face with English consonant fricatives. The research aimed to identify common pronunciation errors, explore underlying causes, and propose strategies for improvement. Using an explanatory sequential design, 30 undergraduate students completed a pronunciation test focusing on fricatives, followed by interviews with 10 students who made the most errors. The analysis revealed frequent mispronunciations of fricatives such as /ʒ/, /v/, and /θ/, often substituted with native sounds like /s/, /z/, and /t/. Voiced fricatives posed greater difficulties than voiceless ones, especially in contexts where Indonesian has no phonetic equivalent. Interviews highlighted a lack of familiarity with these sounds and insufficient pronunciation training as primary challenges. Native language interference and limited exposure to correct English pronunciation were significant factors in these difficulties. The findings call for more targeted instruction in English fricatives within the Indonesian EFL context. Further research with larger sample sizes and longitudinal approaches is recommended to explore long-term outcomes.

Abstract

This study looks into collaborative techniques in linguistics education, focusing on fundamental concepts, principles, components, and the roles of many stakeholders in the educational process. The study demonstrates how collaborative models can improve linguistics education by ensuring active involvement and social interaction between students and teachers. This study employs a grounded theory methodology, which includes qualitative data gathering and analytical techniques, such as open, axial, and selective coding, to discover main themes and patterns. The interviews and discussions with professors and students from the English and Indonesian language departments are included in the research design, allowing for a thorough examination of their experiences and perspectives. Micro-linguistic theory, communicative skills, and collaborative techniques are essential to good linguistics teaching. Key findings suggest that when approaches are employed, and there is more activity, linguistic competency increases, and general educational outcomes improve. The findings spark curiosity about the role of instructor mediation, classroom management, and multimedia resources in improving collaboration. This study's outcomes suggest potential routes for future research on collaborative strategies in linguistics education, particularly with the use of technology and multimedia learning systems. Further research is needed to investigate the long-term effects of these strategies on student accomplishment and the viability of these models in various educational contexts.

Abstract

Gender and language is a topic that continues to be relevant among scholars. This study examines the influence of gender on communication styles in a debate uploaded on Youtube titled “Can 25 Liberal College Students Outsmart 1 Conservative? (feat. Charlie Kirk)”. The research is guided by Deborah Tannen’s theory of report talk and rapport talk. This research focuses solely on the first premise about abortion. The participants include five female and three male students, along with Charlie Kirk. Qualitative content analysis was  used, with the dialogues transcribed and manually coded. The results align with the generalization that men often use report talk, while women lean toward rapport talk. However, the findings also reveal that both genders can switch styles depending on the situation. This study highlights the role gender plays in shapping communication strategies during debates. Although the sample size and analysis duration are limited, the findings offer valuable insights into gender communication in formal settings.

Abstract

This article examined self-efficacy and language anxiety about using English as a foreign language experienced by theological seminary students. Specifically, it explored whether students confident in their language skills would feel less anxious or vice versa. It also aims to discover the strategies students used to overcome language anxiety. A mixed-methods study involving 36 theology students who were asked to complete a questionnaire and 10 of them were also interviewed in depth. The results showed that there was a positive trend, self-efficacy was not always directly or linearly proportional to anxiety levels. However, from the interviews, it was found that some ways help students reduce their anxiety when speaking in a foreign language. Overall, this study highlighted the importance of self-efficacy in foreign language learning, especially for theology students. By increasing students' self-efficacy, theological education institutions can help them by providing facilities or encouragement to achieve better academic performance and be ready to face all challenges in their future ministry tasks.

Abstract

As we know that abstract has an important role in the research article. Besides, it has its own organizational framework. Every researcher must create an abstract after the research project was completed. This article aims to identify the rhetorical moves of English abstract articles on undergraduate theses at STKIP PGRI Pacitan. The analysis guideline was based on Hyland's theory (2004). The data were collected from 20 abstracts of published journal articles. The results revealed that all moves were appeared on the students’ abstract organization. However, it was found that the degree of occurrence or the frequency appearance was differed in every moves. The data informed that moves 3 and moves 4 were found in all students’ thesis abstracts. Moves 5 appeared in 12 students’ thesis abstracts. Then, moves 1 appeared in 8 students’ thesis abstracts and moves 2 appeared in 19 students’ thesis abstracts. The findings also revealed that there were many rhetorical organizations generated by the occurrences of moves and steps in students' abstracts. The variation moves that created by students depend on the students’ writing ability. This study can be a bridge to fill the gap in improving the quality of students’ writing, especially about abstract article.

Abstract

This research intends to assess the point of view of English Education students of Universitas Negeri Makassar regarding the application of Artificial intelligence (AI) resources in the skin of language learning. In this context, the research may engage AI tools Grammarly, ChatGPT, and others and analyze both the benefits and the challenges associated with these applications. The study adopted a convergent parallel design and collected qualitative and quantitative data from 100 respondents through surveys and interviews. The findings revealed that using AI tools increases learning efficiency (89%), enhances writing (82%), and boosts students’ self-efficacy toward completing academic work (75%). Nonetheless, difficulties such as excessive dependence on AI, lack of comprehension of the functionalities of the specified tools, to mention a few, and the problem of depending on the accuracy of responses generated by AI were also documented. In addition, the research brings attention to the potential of AI in language education while stressing the importance of integration to avoid dependence. It is recommended for educators to reinforce responsible use of AI, discourage misuse of AI, uphold academic honesty, and discourage autonomous use of AI. In the next strides, the study will require other attention in the areas of most interest when using AI tool inclusion measures better aimed at addressing the barriers identified impacting the use of language tools for students.
