This study explores the impact of cultural awareness, language learning environment, and cultural barriers on students' foreign language speaking ability. Involving 80 English language students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Muara Bungo, this study used a quantitative method by purposively selecting a sample of 56 students based on specific criteria, including English comprehension and cultural awareness. A Likert-scale questionnaire was used as the research instrument, distributed through Google Forms, and the results were analysed using descriptive statistics (SPSS). The results showed that cultural awareness is important in improving speaking ability, and students who better understand cultural values and norms communicate more effectively. A conducive learning environment, supported by social interaction and experiential teaching methods, strengthens students' speaking skills. However, cultural barriers such as anxiety about cultural mistakes and misunderstanding of communication norms remain challenges that must be overcome through cultural sensitivity training and inclusive learning. The uniqueness of this study lies in its multidisciplinary approach, which combines aspects of psychology, education, and cultural anthropology to understand the complex interactions between culture and students' speaking ability in the context of foreign language learning. Therefore, this research can potentially contribute to developing more effective and sustainable language learning strategies in the era of cross-cultural communication.

Previous studies on engagement have a primary focus on textual discourse or written communication analysis rather than on interactive, spoken communication. This leaves a room for further exploration into how engagement functions dynamically, such as in debates. This study aims to find out the engagement strategies used in the USU English Debate Forum 2023 through the lens of Martin and White’s (2005) appraisal theory of engagement. Using a qualitative content analysis, this study categorizes debate discourse into monoglossic and heteroglossic engagement systems to analyze how the debaters construct meaning, position themselves in relation to their audience, and employ linguistic features to sustain engagement. The data were collected using observation and documentation methods and were analyzed using an interactive model of data analysis. The findings indicate that heteroglossic engagement overwhelmingly dominates the debate discourse, accounting for 83.3% of the engagement strategies used. Among the heteroglossic features, dialogic contraction strategies such as Deny (21.17%) and Counter (16.47%) were frequently employed, highlighting the competitive nature of debate discourse. Dialogic expansion, particularly Entertainment (32.94%), also played a significant role, allowing the debaters to introduce assessments of probability and possibility. The results suggest that the debaters strategically navigate linguistic resources to challenge opposing arguments, reinforce their stance, and engage with alternative perspectives. This study contributes to the understanding of engagement strategies in academic debates, offering implications for debate training and rhetorical education.

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools on improving reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and reading fluency among IAIN Palopo and Universitas Negeri Makassar students. With the increasing integration of AI in educational settings, this research aims to assess how personalized learning environments provided by AI can enhance students' literacy skills. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from pre-and post-test scores with qualitative data from student and lecturer interviews. The results indicate significant improvements in reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and reading fluency, with moderate to large effect sizes observed across both institutions. Additionally, qualitative findings reveal that AI tools motivated students, increased engagement, and provided personalized learning experiences. However, challenges such as technological access and infrastructure limitations were identified, particularly at Universitas Negeri Makassar, which affected students’ ability to engage with the tools fully. The study concludes that while AI tools can significantly improve reading skills, successful implementation requires addressing infrastructure issues and ensuring the cultural relevance of learning materials. The findings suggest that AI should complement traditional pedagogical practices rather than replace them, offering a blended learning approach that supports deeper learning. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on AI in education and highlights the importance of adapting AI tools to local contexts to maximize their effectiveness.

This study investigates university students' preferences regarding listening inputs and tasks in Extensive Listening (EL) activities within an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, emphasizing the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on language acquisition. The main objective was to identify engaging and effective English Language inputs and tasks that facilitate language comprehension. Data were collected from 217 EFL students in the English Language and Literature Department at a state university in West Sumatera using an online questionnaire consisting of 63 closed-ended items, which were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The findings indicate a preference among students for well-organized materials, a moderate speech rate, and exposure to various accents. Students found familiar topics and concrete information easier to comprehend; however, they valued the intellectual engagement provided by abstract or novel themes. Learners appreciated visual aids and acknowledged the cognitive advantages of audio-only exercises, highlighting the importance of a balanced approach in educational design. These insights indicate that educators ought to integrate explicit instruction with opportunities for independent learning by providing a range of listening materials suited to various comprehension levels. To improve engagement and learning outcomes, English Language activities must incorporate both familiar and innovative content, along with diverse linguistic elements that challenge and support the development of students' listening skills. This approach may cultivate a more dynamic, ICT-enhanced learning environment that effectively enhances EFL listening proficiency.

The inputs comprehended by freshmen when they were at high schools contribute much to their present writing performance. However, the influence of school location towards this issue is still debatable and gets minor attention to explore in its relationship towards the recent courses. This study is comparative which aims to compare and see the differences in several writing aspects, including content, organization, and language features among freshmen who graduated from rural senior high schools and urban senior high schools. A writing test was administered to collect the students’ writing documents which were analysed by employing content analysis to reveal the differences, supported by an Independent T-test and Mann Whitney U test to find their significance. This study uncovered that rural freshmen generally performed better than urban freshmen did. Conversely, it voices the support on equality and inclusivity of rural and urban freshmen on academic environment, thus leading the existence of no diversity between both groups. Implicitly, this study advices further researchers to investigate any existing gap or discrimination among students regarding their school origins, and to effectively unravel the issues, achieving SDG 4 and EFA.
