Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the EFL learners’ level of anxiety and experiences as anxious academic writers in essay writing course. Selected by using purposive sampling, five students at sixth semester of English Education Department eagerly participate as respondents. Relying on analysis from Cheng (2004) and Holland (2013), a mixed-method approach with explanatory design is employed by applying two methods of data collection: questionnaire analysis and semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study indicate that moderate anxiety predominates when it comes to composing essays. Furthermore, the five participants depict the experiences being struggling with essay writing anxiety as follows: (1) receiving a poor grade from the instructor; (2) not understanding grammar and structure; (3) discovering rigorous guidelines for academic writing that cause them to write sloppily; (4) worrying about organizing their thoughts to ease the readers; (5) feeling confused, stressed, and frustrated when composing essays; and (6) worrying that the results of their essays become discussion samples and do not meet expectations. The findings confirm hands-on evidence from learners’ experiences as the basic data for course designer to unravel writing anxiety, and for researchers particularly in the demesne of English Language Teaching.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of remote learning environments on students’ speaking abilities, particularly among learners in geographically isolated areas. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected from 50 ninth-grade students at a private Islamic junior secondary school in a remote area through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with English teachers, and self-report questionnaires focusing on linguistic competence and motivation. The findings indicate that remote learning contexts intensify several barriers to speaking development, including limited vocabulary, poor pronunciation, low confidence, and reduced motivation. These challenges are largely attributed to minimal exposure to authentic English use, strong interference from the first language, and restricted learning environments. In addition, psychological factors such as fear of making mistakes and classroom interaction constraints further hinder students’ oral performance. The study also identifies gaps in instructional implementation, including limited evaluation practices and time constraints, which contribute to less effective learning outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of providing targeted pedagogical support, improving access to digital learning resources, and adopting culturally responsive teaching strategies to enhance students’ speaking proficiency in remote settings. This study contributes to the broader discussion on equitable English language education in underserved areas.

Abstract

Linguistic accuracy is a crucial component of effective writing. However, ESL learners often encounter difficulties that affect the clarity and quality of their written texts. This study aims to identify and profile the most prevalent linguistic inaccuracies in undergraduate ESL learners’ writing. A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed involving 53 undergraduate students from the University of Dhaka selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through an essay-writing task and analyzed using an adapted error analysis framework, followed by descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS 25.0. The findings revealed 16 types of errors categorized into grammatical, mechanical, lexical, and discourse marker errors, with grammatical errors being the most dominant. The results also indicated that essay length is not a reliable predictor of overall linguistic accuracy. Factors such as first language interference and limited writing practice were found to contribute to these inaccuracies. These findings provide empirical insights into common error patterns in ESL writing and underscore the importance of implementing targeted, context-sensitive instructional strategies that emphasize linguistic accuracy and sustained writing practice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze code-switching practices and mixed morphology in social media communication and to reveal users’ social motives and linguistic awareness toward this phenomenon. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through documentation of social media posts, observation, and semi-structured interviews with purposively selected informants. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12+ software through the stages of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to map linguistic patterns and social themes. The results indicate that intra-sentential code-switching is the most dominant form, accompanied by a high productivity of mixed morphology in the form of Indonesian affixation attached to English base words, such as in the forms di-upload, nge-like, and ke-cancelan. The findings also reveal that the use of mixed language is influenced by stylistic factors, digital identity, communication efficiency, and audience adaptation strategies, while awareness of the impact of language use on the sustainability of local languages remains relatively low.

Abstract

The swift progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had a large impact on education, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. This study systematically examines how AI technologies are used in English language learning, their benefits, and the difficulties they present. It employed a systematic review approach and followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Thirty studies from 2019 to 2025 were taken from Scopus and Web of Science. The results show that AI conversation programs, automated writing evaluation systems, speech-to-text software, and adaptive learning platforms have been used to support language learning. These technologies provide immediate feedback, personalized learning, and increased opportunities for language use. The studies also indicate improvements in writing accuracy, speaking fluency, vocabulary development, communicative competence, as well as student engagement and motivation. However, several problems were found, including limited technological infrastructure, low teacher digital competence, ethical concerns, and the risk of overdependence on AI. Overall, this research highlights the potential of AI technologies to support language learning and provides useful guidance for teachers, researchers, and policymakers.

Abstract

This article aims to analyse the reconstruction of English-language learning in madrasas through the Love-Based Curriculum in response to the need for the integration of global competency and the formation of a religious-humanist character. This article uses a qualitative method with a library study design and document analysis. Data were obtained from policy documents, journal articles, scientific proceedings, and academic literature relevant to the Love-Based Curriculum, English language learning, madrasa education, humanistic pedagogy, and value integration in language learning. The results show that the reconstruction of English language learning in madrasas includes five main aspects, namely a shift in orientation from linguistic-instrumental to communicative-humanistic, integration of the Panca Cinta values ​​in learning design, implementation of value insertion strategies, strengthening in-depth learning, and developing affective-communicative evaluation. The findings also indicate that the Love-Based Curriculum has the potential to make English a medium for strengthening empathy, tolerance, communication etiquette, environmental awareness, and national identity. However, its implementation requires teacher readiness, contextual teaching modules, a supportive madrasa culture, and assessment instruments that not only measure language competence, but also the communicative character of students.
