Abstract

English proficiency is essential for global communication across various domains. However, non-EFL students, particularly in Primary Teacher Education Programs, often struggle with speaking skills due to limited vocabulary and low confidence. This study employs a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach to develop and implement an e-portfolio-based assessment aimed at improving students’ speaking abilities. Data were collected from PGSD students at UMN Al Washliyah through observations, interviews, and document analysis. Results indicate significant improvements in four key speaking components: fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. The use of e-portfolios not only enhanced speaking performance but also increased student motivation and engagement.

Abstract

An innovative approach to harnessing this synergy is the use of multimodal learning activities. The aim of this study is to explore how the integration of spoken and written texts can support effective English language learning at various educational levels and to identify innovative strategies in English language teaching that combine spoken and written texts to enhance students' communication skills. The method used in this study is SLR (Systematic Literature Review). The result of this study is that the integration of spoken and written texts offers a rich and multifaceted approach to language learning, allowing educators to create dynamic and engaging environments that cater to the diverse needs of students.

Abstract

This conceptual article examines how Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is applied in English language classes, emphasizing the role-playing method as a method of improving speaking abilities. CLT places a strong emphasis on genuine communication with the goal of enhancing students' confidence, accuracy, and fluency. The difficulties and possibilities of using role play as a teaching strategy are covered in the article, along with issues like instructor readiness, class size, learner anxiety, and motivation. Even though effective implementations have demonstrated notable gains in students' speaking skills, a number of studies draw attention to role play's drawbacks, including a lack of preparation, a variety of learner expectations, and poor instructor leadership.According to the results, the success of role play under CLT depends on the teacher's capacity to give precise directions, foster a positive learning environment, and adjust to the needs of each individual student. When used properly, role play helps to promote active engagement and real-world communication. However, in order to make full use of its potential in English language instruction, challenges like student fear and disengagement must be addressed. The article ends with suggestions for improving the use of CLT through role-playing, stressing the value of instructor assistance and specialized teaching techniques to accommodate a range of learning environments.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the ecological narratives embedded in the lyrics of “Berita Kepada Kawan” by Ebiet G. Ade through the lens of ecolinguistics. Using a qualitative descriptive-interpretative approach, the research analyzes how the song represents the relationship between humans and nature, and how it conveys ecological values through language. The data were drawn from the lyrics of the song and analyzed using Arran Stibbe’s (2015) framework of constructive and destructive ecological discourse. The findings reveal that the song contains strong constructive narratives that promote empathy, spiritual reflection, and environmental responsibility. Nature is not merely portrayed as a backdrop to human suffering, but as an entity deeply intertwined with human emotions and ethical choices. Metaphorical language and symbolic imagery reinforce the urgency of ecological awareness. This study concludes that artistic texts such as songs can serve as powerful mediums for ecological discourse and should be integrated into broader environmental communication strategies. The research contributes to expanding the scope of ecolinguistics by emphasizing the role of music as a tool for environmental education and public awareness.
