Abstract

Speaking is one of the basic skills in learnng English that enables students to convey ideas and communicate effectively. However, many students still face difficulties in speaking due to various factors, such as lack of vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and lack of confidence. This research aims to analyze students' perceptions and the factors affecting their difficulties in speaking English. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The research was conducted at the eighth grade of SMP Swasta Kristen BNKP Gunungsitoli with 18 students as participants. The findings revealed that students experienced various difficulties in speaking English, which were categorized into psychological problems (such as fear of making mistakes, shyness, anxiety, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, lack of pronounciation, and lack of vocabulary), language problems (including inhibition, nothing to say, low and uneven participation and the tendency to use mother tongue), and other influencing factors (such as physical condition, intelligence, aptitude, and interest). Most students showed lack of confidence and anxiety when speaking English, which led to limited participation during English class. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for teachers to develop more effective and student-centered teaching strategies, and to create a supportive learning environment that encourages students to speak actively in English.

Abstract

Critical thinking is the ability to objectively assess information to reach logical conclusions. In the 21st century, this skill is essential for students to face global challenges. This study analyzed the representation of critical thinking indicators in the "Work in Progress" English textbook for Grade X used at SMK Swasta Pembda Nias. A qualitative content analysis method was applied, with data collected through documentation and analyzed in five stages: familiarization, coding, reduction, interpretation, and representation. The findings revealed that the three indicators of critical thinking from the Profil Pelajar Pancasila were present: acquiring and processing information (25%), analyzing and evaluating reasoning (52%), and reflecting on one own thinking (23%). The second indicator was most dominant. Additionally, implicit meaning delivery (52%) appeared slightly more frequently than explicit (48%). These results indicate that the textbook sufficiently supports the development of students critical thinking skills in line with the Profil Pelajar Pancasila.

Abstract

This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to explore students’ perceptions of lecturer code-switching in a hybrid English learning environment at IAIN Bone, South Sulawesi. The research site, IAIN Bone, is the largest higher education institution in Bone Regency, where hybrid learning known as combining online and offline instruction and it is still practiced there. This location was chosen based on initial observations showing that many students struggle to fully understand lessons delivered entirely in English. Participants in the study were fourth-semester students enrolled in an English Education hybrid class during the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and continued until data saturation was achieved. The findings indicate that code-switching positively influenced students’ learning experiences. Students reported that bilingualism in the context of code-switching helped them better understand the material, reduced their anxiety during lessons, and supported vocabulary development. They viewed the use of both Indonesian and English by lecturers not as a hindrance, but as a helpful instructional strategy. Overall, the students expressed favorable perceptions of code-switching, considering it an inclusive and effective approach in hybrid English language instruction. These insights suggest that code-switching can play a meaningful role in supporting student comprehension and engagement in bilingual learning environments.

Abstract

While studies on identity construction and classroom participation among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners are abundant, limited attention has been given to how students with hearing impairments experience these processes within religious educational contexts. Addressing this gap, the study explored how an Indonesian female EFL student with a hearing impairment constructed her identity and participated in classroom learning in an Islamic-based school. Drawing on data from in-depth semi-structed interviews, the study employed Braun and Clarks (2006) thematic analysis to interpret the participants lived experiences. The finding reveal that the participants identity developed through a series of stages: the orientation, the adjustment, the difficulty, the settlement, and identity development. Her identity construction was shaped by emotional resilience, religious values, and strong support from family, peers, and teachers. In parallel, her classroom participation evolved from passive observation to active involvement through adaptive strategies, such as preparing questions and engaging in peer interaction. This study illustrated how identity construction and classroom participation are intertwined, particularly for students with disabilities navigating inclusive learning environments. It also underscored the importance of culturally and religiously responsive support systems in fostering self-growth and academic among marginalized learners.

Abstract

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has driven the use of digital tools such as ChatGPT to support students' independent learning. This study aims to explore students perceptions of using ChatGPT as a learning aid in a Macroeconomics course. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, involving one class of 30 students with prior experience using ChatGPT in their learning process. The research instruments included a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire and open-ended questions to capture the cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions of students perceptions. The findings indicate that the majority of students have a positive perception of ChatGPT, particularly in terms of learning readiness, time flexibility, and efficiency in understanding theoretical concepts. However, the highest score was given to the statement emphasizing the crucial role of lecturers in correcting potential misconceptions arising from AI use. While ChatGPT is regarded as useful and flexible, concerns also emerged regarding overdependence, answer accuracy, and the potential decline in critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the beliefs of the students in the fourth semester of English Education at University Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr. Hamka on the relevance of listening skills in public speaking. Using descriptive qualitative approach, the Likert-scale questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were applied as data-gathering tools to investigate the perception of students, their difficulties and their approaches towards the incorporation of listening as an act in their performance of speaking. The results showed that the students realized that listening is an important and dynamic part of quality communication, which supports audience awareness, speech clarity and confidence. However, many of them continue to struggle to create a balance between the delivery of their content and the immediate reaction of the audience. In the pragmatic approach, students began to recognize false positives in listening and also used reflection-based strategies such as the use of feedback and practicing presentations. An aspect raised in this study is the importance of pedagogical activities that support the development of listening as an active and formative skill that contributes to communicative competence in the area of the spoken word.
