<![CDATA[It can be difficult to motivate students to attend classes while using a digital platform for instruction. Students at Universitas Terbuka who have registered for the Speaking course's online tutorial program are required to attend every session of the webinar tutorial (Tuweb) synchronously. However, the tutors' evaluations revealed that the student's attendance in these real-time classes was not optimum. This study aims to investigate the problem by looking at the reasons why students find it difficult to enroll in the Speaking course synchronously. A qualitative case study using type 2 design where the researcher compared each online class to another. Participants in this study are tutors from sixteen Tuweb courses. The author divided the class into two sections based on the attendance rates, with the highest and lowest divisions being used for comparison. Based on the analysis of data, it is found that there were at least two kinds of problems in Tuweb which the author labeled as generalized external constraint and personalized internal constraint. The researcher also found that two reasons can affect the students' reluctance level in Tuweb class, the first is the personal approach and the second one is the non-personal approach.]]>

<![CDATA[Writing is a difficult skill in English learning. It is not easy to have a good skill in writing because writing is an activity that needs more concentration and practice. In addition, students must know the English grammar rule in writing a text. The difficulties in writing can cause the students to make errors in their writing. When the students have limited knowledge about grammar and vocabulary, they will make errors in making sentences. The structure of the sentences will be inappropriate according to the structure rules and the meaning will be not clear. The errors occur in the students’ writing not only in grammar and vocabulary but also in expressing their ideas in English. This research aimed to find out typical errors on 6th grade elementary school students in writing recount text. However, researchers took primary data to obtain the result. There were 65 students writing recount text for this research. Qualitative approach was used for this research. The result stated that most students made errors on grammar aspects (noun, verb, determinant/article, preposition) with a percentage of 55,03%. Next, students made errors on punctuation which is 27,96%. Lastly, students made an error on spelling only 17,0%.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to comprehend the meaning contained in the free verse translation of the Acehnese language Quran in Surah Al-Fatihah. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive research. The data is analysed using introspection method because the researcher is a native speaker of Acehnese. Introspection method is a way to obtain data by using the language intuition of someone who learns the original language, to provide the necessary data for analysis according to the research objectives. The results obtained in this study indicate that Surah Al-Fatihah is an opening chapter that holds significant meaning as the preface to the recitation of the entire verses of the Quran. In the process of translating these verses, a deep understanding of the linguistic complexity of the Acehnese language itself is required. The translation of Surah Al-Fatihah into Acehnese adds a cultural and linguistic dimension to the experience of reading the Quran for Acehnese speakers. This allows the speakers to feel more connected to the text on a profound level. With the existence of a free verse translation of the Quran in Acehnese, a path is paved or an opportunity is opened to strengthen the Acehnese language with all its attributes]]>
