Abstract

This research investigates the underlying reasons why grade XI students at MA NWDI Lepak, a senior high school in rural East Lombok Regency, are motivated to learn English. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis using a qualitative approach with case studies.  The theme analysis method developed by Braun and Clarke (2006) was used to analyze this study. The results show that students' learning motivation is influenced by two main factors: (1) students' sociocultural and identity factors, such as support from teachers, peers, and perceptions of English in the community; and (2) strong future goals, such as career aspirations and educational expectations, which are the main drivers of their motivation. These results support socio-cultural identity theory and potential-based achievement goal theory, which emphasize that students' motivation is influenced by their thoughts about their future potential in their social and cultural contexts.  It is hoped that this research will help teachers, schools and policy makers create effective and contextualized English learning strategies for students in rural areas.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the ability and awareness of students regarding word stress, specifically on four-syllable words. The subjects of this research were eight fourth-semester students from the English Language Education study program who had completed the morphology course. The participants were randomly selected from various classes. This study employed a qualitative approach using semi-structured tests and interviews as data collection methods, conducted in person. The findings indicate that most participants have limited ability in correctly placing word stress on four-syllable words. Common errors occurred due to a lack of understanding of morphological rules, especially those related to prefixes and suffixes that influence stress placement. The participants' awareness of the importance of word stress in communication also varied; some were aware of its function, while others considered it insignificant. The study concludes that despite having received morphology instruction, students still face challenges in applying the concept of word stress practically. The implications of these findings highlight the need for a deeper focus on word stress exercises, particularly in the context of phonology and morphology, to enhance students' skills and awareness in English pronunciation.

Abstract

Tourism serves not only as an economic driver but also as a medium for preserving and transmitting cultural identity. In Banggai, Central Sulawesi, coastal traditions and rituals such as Molabot Tumpe and lobe fishing embody rich local wisdom with strong potential for cultural tourism. However, linguistic limitations and inconsistent English representation have hindered effective promotion at the global level. This study explores how English narratives are constructed and utilized to promote Banggai’s coastal culture. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with three key informants: a cultural expert, a tour guide, and a tourism practitioner, supported by document analysis of brochures, websites, social media content, and promotional videos.  Data were analyzed thematically and through discourse analysis to examine diction, narrative style, and structure. The results identify five dominant forms of English narratives: comparison, descriptive-promotional, personal invitation, experiential-practical, and cultural awareness. These narratives effectively convey ceremonial, culinary, and social aspects of Banggai’s culture but underrepresent expressive heritage such as songs, dances, and oral storytelling. The findings also reveal challenges in linguistic competence, cultural translation, and stakeholder collaboration. Overall, the study highlights that English narratives act as cultural mediators that enhance Banggai’s visibility, authenticity, and sustainability in global tourism. By emphasizing narrative competence and intercultural collaboration, this research contributes to developing English-for-Tourism practices that support both cultural preservation and destination branding.

Abstract

This research explores the difficulties and the strategies faced by second-year students of the English Study Program at FKIP Universitas Riau in comprehending English journal articles. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed in this study, utilizing a sample of 77 fourth-semester students chosen through cluster random sampling. Data was collected through a questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale, designed to measure two variables: students' difficulties and strategies in comprehending journal articles. The results indicate that the main difficulties experienced by students include inability to use effective reading strategies, limited academic vocabulary, and lack of familiarity with the journal article format. Meanwhile, the strategy most used by students is Problem-Solving Strategies (PROB), followed by Global Reading Strategies (GLOB), and Support Strategies (SUP). These findings highlight that improving students’ mastery of academic vocabulary, familiarity with journal structures, and strategic reading skills is essential to enhancing their comprehension of academic texts.

Abstract

This study explores the similarities between descriptive texts written by second-semester English education students at Hamzanwadi University and a text generated by ChatGPT in response to the same writing prompt. Using a qualitative descriptive method, seven student texts selected from fifteen submissions and one AI-generated text were analyzed with the IELTS Writing Band Descriptors, focusing on Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. The findings indicate that both texts shared similarities in addressing the task, maintaining coherence, using descriptive vocabulary, and applying varied sentence structures, although the AI-generated text demonstrated greater lexical variety and fewer grammatical errors. These results suggest that AI-generated writing can serve as a supplementary model for students in developing descriptive writing skills, while teacher guidance remains crucial to ensure critical and effective use of AI tools.

Abstract

This study investigates the types of self-talk and students' perceptions of the impact of using self-talk in building their English-speaking skills. By using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and observations with six second-semester students of the English language education program at Universitas Hamzanwadi. The findings reveal that students used two types of self-talk strategies to build their English-speaking skills, which are instructional self-talk and motivational self-talk. Students viewed self-talk as an effective strategy to support technical preparation for speaking, reduce anxiety, and increase self-confidence. The benefits of using self-talk include reduced anxiety and nervousness, increased confidence, motivation, fluency, and skills, as well as creating space for self-practice. Thus, it can be concluded that self-talk is proven to be a solution for regulating affective and cognitive aspects in order to build English speaking skills.
