Abstract

One of the most contentious and widely discussed studies in Second language acquisition (SLA) theories is the study of morpheme order, which is then renowned as the natural order. As the study generates a number of supports, this paper critically reviews the studies of natural order and presents three major antithetical views against the existing beliefs: the ignorance of other linguistic phenomena, the claim that accuracy is equal to acquisition, and the fatal flaw of overlooking the influence of L1 on L2.

Abstract

This study explored the experiences of students with technology-integrated English language instruction at two Indonesian universities, Universitas Borneo Tarakan (UBT) and Universitas Sawerigading Makassar (UNSA). The primary aim was to understand the influence of perceived autonomy, competence, relatedness, and motivation levels on English language learning outcomes. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combined survey data and thematic analysis of interviews, we found that students generally reported high levels of these factors. Minor differences were observed between UBT and UNSA in terms of perceived autonomy and competence-relatedness. Positive correlations were identified between these factors and improved performance in English language learning; for example, autonomy positively correlated with English learning outcomes (r = 0.60*), as did competence (r = 0.65*), relatedness (r = 0.62*), and motivation levels (r = 0.70*). These findings highlight the importance of fostering learners' sense of autonomy, competence building, and relatedness in technology-enhanced instruction settings to promote intrinsic motivation according to Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Further research is recommended to explore other potential influencing factors such as individual attitudes towards technology or external factors like teaching quality or course design.

However, the implementation of ICT-based resources is not without its challenges. In conclusion, this study underscores the need for pedagogical adjustments, emphasizing educators' need to continually enhance their ICT knowledge and teaching strategies through training, whether offered by educational institutions or external organizations. This will enable teachers to adapt and refine their teaching methods effectively.

This study used a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. The participants of this research were 40 students of the English education study program of FKIP at Universitas Tanjungpura. The results showed that relaxation strategy is the most chosen strategy by students as the strategy they use to overcome their public speaking anxiety with the percentage 83.2%, followed by the preparation strategy as the second strategy with the percentage 80.1%, then third is peer seeking strategy chosen by 80% students and the last is the positive thinking strategy as much as 78.2%. The limitations of this study are as follows: it does not provide data on students' levels of anxiety, lacks diversity in the tools used, focuses solely on students who have completed the course, and does not explore strategies beyond those suggested in the questionnaire.

Abstract

Speaking is an essential part of mastering any language, including English. However, teaching speaking often poses various difficulties and obstacles for teachers. This research aimed to investigate the difficulties English teachers face when teaching speaking skills in the classroom. The study utilized a qualitative case study approach, collecting data through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with eight teacher participants who all taught the same grade level at different schools. The findings revealed five major difficulties: 1) teachers' lack of vocabulary; 2) students' lack of motivation and student anxiety; 3) insufficient school facilities and equipment; 4) curriculum used. This shows that problems arise from multiple factors, not just one, and solutions are needed to minimize these difficulties.
