Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the miscue that was frequently produced among good readers and poor readers. This study was limited to six students of 11th grade students in Babun Najah Islamic Boarding School using the purposive sampling method. This is a descriptive qualitative study using the of miscue analysis from Argyle (1989) and Mahmud and Gopal (2018). The findings revealed that the miscues were frequent by all readers but substitution and hesitation were the most common miscues among the subjects, with the 340 (63%) and 82 (15%) occurrences, respectively. Other miscues included repetition (58 occurrences,11%), correction (41 occurrences, 8%), insertion (17 occurrences, 3%), and omission (2 occurrences, 0%). These results highlight the prevalence of miscue patterns across different reading proficiency levels. Finally, this study will be useful as a reference for an alternative teaching strategy for English learning, especially in the course of reading. Keywords: EFL Students, Miscue Analysis, Reading Aloud

Abstract

Interpreting has long been regarded as a challenging task as it requires heightened cognitive and emotional effort in real-time, and anxiety often affects the interpreting performance. This study explored the factors and impacts of anxiety on the interpreting skills of students who are prospective interpreters. Using a qualitative approach, the study conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 English Department students at Universitas Serambi Mekkah who had finished the interpreting examination. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, and four-anxiety-inducing factors were identified: Fear of Making Mistakes (80%), Lack of Self-Confidence (66%), Time Pressure (66%), and Lack of Preparation (46.6%). The impacts involved performance-related issues, cognitive impairment, physical symptoms, impaired active listening and attention. To cope with the challenges, the student interpreters employed preparation-based approaches, practice and skill development, physical relaxation techniques, and social support systems. This research provides insights that, even though the students independently adopted their own coping mechanisms, interpreting trainers or instructors should also take part in reducing their anxiety, such as incorporating stress management techniques, frequent simulation exercises, and confidence-building activities that could better prepare them for real-world interpreting scenarios.

Abstract

English proficiency constitutes a pivotal competency in the professional hospitality industry, particularly within Food & Beverage (F&B) services, where oral communication significantly influences service quality, customer satisfaction, and overall operational effectiveness. This study examined the representation of English for Hospitality in high-pressure hospitality environments as depicted in British mini-series “Boiling Point” (2023) where linguistic precision, contextual awareness, and pragmatic competence were integral at ensuring effective interactions. Utilizing a descriptive-qualitative research design and purposive sampling, this study investigated verbal exchanges among restaurant staff and customers, focusing on essential communicative functions of order placement, complaint resolution, and small talk through pragmatic strategies. Thematic analysis revealed that effective order placement involved decision-making discourse and mitigated directives, ensuring clarity while minimizing imposition. In handling complaints, service recovery strategies such as explicit apologies, immediate corrective actions, and reassurance were essential for restoring customer trust and maintaining service excellence. Small talk served as a vital interpersonal engagement strategy, fostering rapport, enhancing guest experience, and reinforcing customer loyalty. Furthermore, this research highlighted the pedagogical potential of audiovisual media, particularly films or series, as instructional tools for English for Hospitality education. By bridging the gap between theoretical linguistic instruction and real-world hospitality practices, film-based instruction not only reinforces communicative competence but also cultivates students’ adaptability in professional service interactions through contextualized understanding of industry-specific discourse and cultural expectations. The immersive pedagogical approaches by incorporating film-based instruction, such as simulations and role-playing activities inspired by audiovisual content, can further strengthen learners’ ability to navigate workplace communication challenges. This study also contributes to the broader discourse on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) by demonstrating the efficacy of audiovisual-based learning in vocational education. Lastly, integrating AI-driven simulations and virtual reality into hospitality communication training can refine these methodologies, ensuring that professionals acquire linguistic and pragmatic skills aligned with global service standards.

Abstract

This study examined the frequency of English song listening, the degree of enjoyment children had studying the language, and the relationship between these variables and vocabulary mastery in seventh-grade students at SMPN 10 Serang City. Pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires were used to gather data from 104 students using a quantitative approach. The results demonstrated strong validity and reliability (reliability scores: 0,923 for song listening, 0,924 for vocabulary knowledge). The findings demonstrated that regular exposure to English-language music enhances students' vocabulary and adds enjoyment to the learning process. According to the study, including music in English classes can help students' vocabulary grow. It also proposes that more research be done on other variables that might affect learning results.

Abstract

Parents’ language beliefs and attitudes play a significant role in shaping language practices at home. This descriptive qualitative study focuses on the families’ perspectives on multilingualism and their views on the necessity of learning the Indonesian language in order to find out parents’ beliefs and attitudes toward the Indonesian language. In collecting the data, this study used semi-structured interviews with 11 Indonesian-Australian families in Melbourne. The collected data were subsequently analyzed by using NVivo software. The findings indicate that all parents support multilingualism, recognizing its cognitive benefits, economic advantages, and the influence of their own multilingual experiences. However, variations exist regarding the inclusion of the Indonesian language in their children's multilingual repertoire. While eight families emphasized the importance of learning Indonesian to maintain family bonds and cultural heritage, three families perceived it as unnecessary due to their children’s primary identity as Australian citizens, infrequent visits to Indonesia, and the limited global utility of the language. These findings suggest that while multilingualism is believed to be widely valued, parental attitudes toward specific languages are influenced by their personal experiences, perceived utility, and cultural connections. Further research into how these beliefs translate into actual language practices at home would provide deeper insights into family language management.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by English teachers in Thailand when teaching students with a Thai accent and explores the strategies they employ to address these difficulties. The phonetic differences between Thai and English often lead to pronunciation difficulties, comprehension issues, and reduced self-confidence among students. Using qualitative methods, this research gathered data from interviews with three English teachers at Tessaban 2 Bansadao School. The findings indicate that limited English exposure, difficulty distinguishing certain phonemes, and the influence of Thai tonal and intonation patterns significantly hinder students’ learning. In response, teachers implemented phonetic drills, multimedia-assisted instruction, and various communication techniques to enhance pronunciation and engagement. Rather than focusing on accent reduction, the study emphasizes the importance of intelligibility in spoken English. By identifying accent-specific teaching strategies, this research contributes to more effective instructional practices for Thai-accented learners of English, ultimately improving their pronunciation and overall language skills.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of students’ perception of social media and their learning motivation on English learning. As social media becomes increasingly prevalent in students’ daily lives, its role in education, especially language learning, deserves critical attention. This research aimed to examine how students perceive the use of social media in their learning process and how their motivation affects their English learning outcomes. A quantitative survey method was employed, involving 100 eighth-grade students from SMPN 10 Kota Serang. Data were collected through a questionnaire containing 30 items related to the three main variables: students’ perception of social media, learning motivation, and English learning. The findings indicate that both students’ perception of social media and learning motivation significantly influence their English learning. Students who have a positive perception of social media tend to show higher learning motivation, which contributes to better performance in English. These results suggest that the use of interactive digital platforms could enhance students’ engagement and learning outcomes in English education. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of social media integration in language learning.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how university students use ChatGPT in academic contexts and how they perceive its influence on critical thinking and independent learning. Using a descriptive survey method, data were collected from 156 university students through a structured questionnaire covering ChatGPT usage frequency, academic purposes, and perceptions related to critical and independent thinking. The findings reveal that 98.1% of students utilize ChatGPT for academic tasks such as research, essay writing, and problem-solving, with most using it either occasionally (55.1%) or weekly (20.5%). Students reported that ChatGPT supports their ability to analyze information and generate ideas, with over half agreeing that it enhances critical thinking. However, a notable portion also expressed concerns about potential overreliance on AI, suggesting it may hinder independent thought and problem-solving skills. Based on these insights, the study recommends integrating AI literacy into higher education curricula to promote mindful, ethical, and strategic use of tools like ChatGPT. This approach can help students balance the benefits of AI with the development of their autonomous academic skills.

Abstract

The phenomenon of micro-influencers in Indonesia continues to grow alongside the increasing use of social media in digital marketing. One of the key factors determining the success of micro-influencers in building engagement and branding is the linguistic strategies they employ. However, in-depth studies on how language use can enhance audience interaction and brand appeal remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to develop an effective model of linguistic strategies for micro-influencers to boost audience engagement and strengthen their personal branding.This research adopts a qualitative method with digital discourse analysis of micro-influencer content on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Data were collected through sampling of social media posts, interviews with micro-influencers and their audiences, and analysis of interactions in the form of comments and engagement metrics. The analytical techniques used include critical discourse analysis to identify communication patterns, sentiment analysis to measure audience responses, and the development of a conceptual model of linguistic strategies based on the findings. The results of this study not only contribute academically to the field of digital linguistics but also have practical implications in helping micro-influencers and brands optimize their communication strategies on social media.
