Abstract

This study aimed to examine three key areas: (1) whether there was a significant interaction between the application of metacognitive strategies and levels of listening anxiety on students’ listening comprehension outcomes; (2) whether students’ listening performance varied significantly across different anxiety levels namely high, moderate, and low; and (3) the extent to which specific aspects of listening contributed to overall comprehension achievement. Employing a factorial design that included both experimental and control groups, the study engaged sixty participants equally distributed between the two groups. The experimental group, which received targeted instruction in metacognitive listening strategies, demonstrated marked gains in listening comprehension. A significant interaction effect was identified between metacognitive strategy use and listening anxiety, indicating that the effectiveness of strategy application varied with anxiety levels. Notably, within the experimental group, statistically significant differences in listening performance emerged between students with high and low anxiety, as well as between those with moderate and low anxiety—particularly in the domains of identifying main ideas, recalling details, and drawing inferences. Among the assessed listening components, the ability to grasp details proved to be the strongest predictor of listening comprehension achievement, followed sequentially by identifying main ideas, making inferences, and interpreting the overall message.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between maladaptive daydreaming and creative writing performance among students in the English Language Education Program at Musi Charitas Catholic University. Using a quantitative correlational method with total sampling, data were gathered through two questionnaires distributed to all students. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between daydreaming and creative writing, indicating that while daydreaming can inspire creativity and ideas, it may also hinder focus and academic performance. Students acknowledged daydreaming as a source of relaxation and creative thought, yet emphasized the need to manage it during lessons to remain productive. The study highlights the dual role of daydreaming both beneficial and disruptive in academic settings. It suggests that educators can harness its creative potential by incorporating structured writing tasks that align with students’ imaginative thinking. A balanced approach, combining creativity with focus, is essential for maximizing student engagement and well-being. This research offers unique insight into how maladaptive daydreaming influences English education students’ writing skills and provides practical considerations for integrating this phenomenon into classroom practice.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of balanced bilingual education in an EFL context. Adopting a basic qualitative research approach, the research focuses on a bilingual elementary school in Singaraja. Data were gathered through classroom observation and interviews, using the researcher, an observation sheet, and an interview guide as instruments. The interview participant was a first-grade classroom teacher. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis. The results indicate that balanced bilingual education is facilitated through the use of bilingual learning media and consistent language use in daily activities. Learning media include both instructional tools used during lessons and materials displayed in the school environment. Language use encompasses communication during instruction, positive reinforcement practices, as well as school policies and routines that support bilingualism.

Abstract

This study examined the perceptions of D3 Hospitality students at STIEPARI Semarang regarding the importance of English proficiency for careers in the hotel and restaurant industries, as well as the factors influencing these views. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted with 44 students using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire covering four dimensions: awareness of English importance, self-assessed readiness, learning barriers, and institutional expectations. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Findings indicated that students generally perceived English as highly important (M = 3.86), particularly for guest communication and career advancement (M = 4.32). Speaking and listening skills were prioritized over reading and writing. However, students reported moderate confidence in their English abilities (M = 3.14), especially in understanding accents and speaking fluently. Major challenges included limited vocabulary and a lack of practice opportunities. Students with internship experience showed significantly higher perception scores (M = 4.15) compared to those without (M = 3.64), highlighting the value of practical exposure. The study suggests that hospitality education institutions should emphasize communicative approaches, incorporate industry-specific training, and provide early practical experiences to enhance students' readiness for the global hospitality sector.

Abstract

Technological advances in teaching English have been established to support interesting media and authentic learning materials in language classes. This study investigates the implementation of internet-based media in the intermediate-speaking class provided by LearnEnglish Teens on the British Council Online Course. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, an exploration of the integrated activities in the classroom was observed using field notes. The results reveal that LearnEnglish Teens has a dynamic class atmosphere where students and lecturers can integrate fragment language skills into an integrative proficiency of language use by providing class stages to practice. Meanwhile, the negotiated activities in the class driven by the lecturer had also been described in detail in each stage such as regulating turn-taking, repetition, impulsive correction, assertive treatment, unlocking creativeness, equipping speaking organization, and generating useful expressions in specific- individualized practices.

Abstract

This study investigates the dual role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in supporting English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing. Tools like Grammarly and ChatGPT are found to enhance students’ technical writing accuracy such as grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure by offering instant feedback. However, concerns persist regarding their limited contribution to the development of higher-order writing skills. Conducted with 100 Indonesian tertiary-level EFL students, this mixed-methods research used surveys and interviews to evaluate the impact of AI tools on writing performance. Quantitative results showed a moderate positive correlation (Spearman’s ρ = 0.450, p = 0.001) between frequent AI use and improvements in surface-level writing. However, participants scored low on creativity and originality (M = 2.37), implying that AI-assisted writing tends to be rigid and lacks personal voice. Qualitative data also highlighted that AI-generated feedback lacks the depth and contextual sensitivity of human instruction. The study concludes that while AI tools are useful for supporting basic writing accuracy, they should not replace teacher feedback. Instead, a blended approach combining AI tools with human guidance is recommended to foster critical thinking, creativity, and rhetorical skills, ensuring more comprehensive EFL writing development.

Abstract

This study explores the correlation between teachers' nonverbal immediacy behaviors and EFL students’ motivation at SMAN 1 West Cikarang. Using a quantitative correlational method, data were collected through questionnaires measuring both variables. Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation Analysis revealed a positive relationship, with the correlation coefficient (ro = 0.54) exceeding the critical value (rt = 0.22) at a 0.05 significance level. Additionally, the t-test result (to = 5.785 > tt = 1.67) confirmed that the correlation was statistically significant. These findings indicate that teachers’ nonverbal immediacy such as gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, vocal tone, and physical presence plays an important role in enhancing students’ motivation to learn. Nonverbal communication helps create a supportive and engaging classroom atmosphere, making students feel more connected and enthusiastic about learning. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers consciously incorporate positive nonverbal behaviors in their teaching strategies to boost student motivation, especially in EFL contexts where emotional engagement is crucial for language acquisition.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of the English-based International Primary Curriculum (IPC) on Indonesian language development at Kinderstation Primary, a National Plus school in Indonesia. Focusing on the dynamics of early bilingualism, it explores how the dominance of English from a young age impacts students’ linguistic equilibrium. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and parents, questionnaires, and student language samples. Findings reveal that lower-grade students (grades 1–2) remain in a transitional phase, predominantly using Indonesian in both learning and interaction. In contrast, upper-grade students (grade 3 and above) exhibit strong English proficiency and increasingly favor English for both academic and everyday contexts. Notably, there is a marked reduction in students’ confidence and active use of Indonesian. While most parents did not express concern, they emphasized the importance of balanced bilingualism. The study underscores the need for integrated bilingual instruction, cultural reinforcement, and curriculum refinement to ensure that students grow as globally competent individuals without compromising their national language and identity. These insights offer critical implications for English for Young Learners (EYL) practices within internationalized educational settings in non-English dominant contexts.
