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.

Abstract

This research examines how students perceive and understand academic listening, a fundamental skill for success in educational settings. Through questionnaire distribution among secondary and tertiary students, the study identifies common obstacles and approaches students employ when engaging with academic content. Findings reveal that although students acknowledge academic listening's significance, many encounter difficulties processing lecture structures, identifying key information, and maintaining focus during extended listening sessions. The restricted exposure to authentic academic discourse and insufficient training in specialized listening strategies compound these challenges. Recommendations include implementing systematic listening practice, enhancing exposure to genuine academic materials, and incorporating technology-based tools for autonomous skill development.

Abstract

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is a factor introducing significant changes in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). Many AI-based applications, including chatbots, automated feedback systems, and adaptive platforms, offer the possibility to develop more interactive and personalized learning. Nonetheless, the implementation of AI will be successful if teachers are willing to learn, adapt, and implement it well. The study sought to see the extent to which teachers in Indonesia who teach English are prepared to adopt AI technology in learning activities. The areas studied were teachers' awareness, perceived benefits, difficulties, and flexibility towards AI. The results of this study to provide an initial picture of teachers' willingness to be exposed to digital transformation and can serve as a basis for developing more relevant training and education policies.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of ecolinguistic texts in enhancing environmental vocabulary acquisition among English Education students at Universitas Pembinaan Masyarakat Indonesia (UPMI). Employing a quasi experimental pre-test post-test control group design, the study involved 60 second-year students divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instruction through ecolinguistic texts integrating environmental themes, while the control group used conventional English materials. Data were analyzed using paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests. The findings reveal a statistically significant improvement in environmental vocabulary mastery in the experimental group compared to the control group. These results suggest that ecolinguistic texts provide meaningful contextualization, support semantic networking, and foster deeper lexical engagement. The study contributes to sustainability-oriented English language teaching and supports the integration of ecolinguistics into EFL curricula as part of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
REVISITING KRASHEN’S SLA THEORY THROUGH MODERN PSYCHOLINGUISTICS Mastawiyah, Elvi

Abstract

This paper aims to critically examine Stephen Krashen's theory of language acquisition within the context of modern psycholinguistics. The approach used is a critical theoretical review, comparing Krashen's five main hypotheses with recent findings in neurolinguistics and cognitive science. The main criticisms of this theory lie in its empirical limitations, methodological weaknesses, and lack of integration with contemporary neurocognitive evidence. Nevertheless, this review confirms Krashen's important contribution as a foundation for the study of second language acquisition, while emphasizing the need to update the concepts of input and language acquisition processes to align with a more empirically evidence-based psycholinguistic approach.
