Abstract

Language attitude is one of the most important things in learning a language. It determines students’ seriousness towards language acquisition. this research investigates students’ language attitudes towards their heritage language and other languages that they acquire and learn. The study used a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, the participants are about 20 students with different languages. The questionnaire and interview consist of heritage and cultural items. This study investigated the students’ language attitude towards their heritage language and other languages they acquire and learn and how valuable are those languages to them. The result demonstrates that students’ language attitudes toward the acquisition or maintenance of heritage language among students are relatively good. They use foreign languages (Arabic and English) in daily communication on a weekday, while the heritage language is used only on their holiday when they meet with parents and another family, to support other language acquisition, the school establish a language policy that relates to language use at that school. In maintaining the heritage language, the students use it in their home to interact with family members during holidays from school activities. Finally, the study above has wide pedagogical implications for learning and teaching language for students, it implies that teaching language to students should be in line with students’ needs. And the use of heritage language and foreign-language should be balanced among them, therefore, the student’s language attitudes will grow faster and better.

Abstract

Mode, as one of elements of context, can influence speech acts. Virtual meeting, as one of modes that signifies the absence of direct interaction potentially influences the speech acts too. This study aims at identifying speech acts in the instructional practices at selected elementary schools in South Tangerang, Banten to answer (1) what types of speech acts used by teachers and students of each school and (2) what factors influence the chosen speech acts. This is a content analysis that explores communication occurrences between teachers and young learners in English classes. Three pre-schools in Pamulang district were chosen as sources of data. The data were collected by recording their communication practices in three consecutive meetings. In total, there are nine communication practices from all the pre-schools. Then, the data were transcribed and segmented by clausal units to identify types of speech acts produced by each party. The findings show that every school performs similar patterns of speech acts dominated by the use of directive expression to maintain the students’ engagement, followed by declarative expression to stimulate the students’ active participation in various activities during the virtual instructional practices.

Abstract

The Baduy people, a tribal group from Banten, Indonesia, are known for their self-isolation, environmental care, and resistance to change. With a cultural aversion to writing, they rely on oral traditions to preserve their history and beliefs. Concerns over misrepresentation in research publications led the Baduy elders to authorize Saatnya Baduy Bicara (SBB), the first official book presenting their viewpoints. This study uses comparative text analysis to examine SBB alongside external research publications, focusing on conflicting statements regarding the Baduy people’s origin and preferred titles. Five variables are analyzed to assess the credibility of statements from both sources. The findings show that the Baduy elders demonstrate strong internal consistency and source perspective, reflecting their cultural and ideological coherence. However, their weaknesses in methodology, data collection, and external validation are attributed to their cultural rejection of writing. Conversely, external researchers excel in methodology, data collection, and intent/purpose but lack source perspective and often present limited or biased theories. The results emphasize the need to address cultural and methodological biases to ensure balanced and accurate interpretations of indigenous knowledge systems. By bridging gaps between oral traditions and academic research, a more credible and inclusive understanding of the Baduy people can be achieved.

Abstract

English is no longer an exclusive language because it is now learned by people worldwide. In Indonesia, English plays a significant role in various domains, including society, business, politics, technological development, and education. However, Indonesian students often feel shy about speaking English when they believe they have not mastered the language. It is crucial for students to develop English-speaking skills to communicate effectively. Yet, speaking is a challenging skill to master. The third-semester students of STKIP PGRI Bandar Lampung in the academic year 2024/2025 faced several difficulties in speaking English, including a limited vocabulary, incorrect pronunciation, a lack of interlocutors, and minimal opportunities for extended interaction in English. To address these challenges, the researchers used Hablo, an application that integrates artificial intelligence features with English language learning. This study employed classroom action research conducted over two cycles. The results demonstrated significant improvements in both the students' speaking skills and their learning activities across the pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II. The mean speaking test score increased from 64.8 in the pre-cycle to 67 in Cycle I and further to 77.75 in Cycle II. The findings indicate that using Hablo positively impacts students' speaking abilities and engagement in learning. This research highlights the potential of integrating AI-powered tools, like Hablo, into English language teaching to address students' specific challenges in speaking. The study suggests that such tools can enhance vocabulary acquisition, improve pronunciation, and provide opportunities for interactive learning. These findings emphasize the importance of leveraging technology to create engaging and effective language-learning environments

Abstract

This paper establishes the lexical density and readability levels of the Duolingo guidance textbook, with the view of establishing further the accessibility levels that the textbook has for use in language learning by users. Qualitative content analysis was conducted on 10 segments of the guidance text; lexical density was determined through content word proportions analyzed and readability by the Flesch Reading Ease formula. The results ranged between 47.6% and 56.1% for lexical density, while for nouns, just one word class, the most frequent class of words for all observed segments was 24.9-32.5%. Scores for readability ranged from 53.21 to 85.2. For example, "How to Test Your Best" sections obtained very high readability scores of 85.2, whereas sections more suited to the content, such as "Reading Texts", scored as low as 53.21. Further analysis then showed that there indeed was a strategic range in the section's complexity: the technical content was generally higher in lexical density and low in readability scores, while practical guidance sections maintained higher accessibility. Given this is the conclusion, recommendations go to Duolingo on adding extra scaffolding mechanisms for complex parts by developing supplemental material at different proficiencies, including adaptive learning whereby the complexity of the content would change based on performance. Also, periodic assessment of textual complexity across different versions guarantees that users are uniformly having their experience across the world. The current study added to the cognition of how digital language learning materials balance the issues of accessibility and educational effectiveness

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate two prosodic variations (intended meaning and unintended meaning) and to deepen the understanding of the emotional nuances conveyed by women's utterances of the word terserah, contributing insights into linguistic communication and emotional expression. This research employed a descriptive qualitative analysis design. Data were collected from women of different ethnic backgrounds and ages, all married to facilitate emotional expression during recording. Three speakers participated in this research: a 31-year-old Javanese woman (P1), a 35-year-old Banjanese woman (P2), and a 40-year-old Bataknese woman (P3). Prosodic elements were measured using PRAAT, a software tool used to analyze prosodic elements such as frequency, intensity, and duration. The findings revealed significant differences between intended and unintended meanings. Intended meaning was characterized by lower pitch, lower intensity, and longer duration with a descending tone. In contrast, unintended meaning exhibited higher pitch, higher intensity, and shorter duration with an ascending tone. In conclusion, the prosodic variations indicate different emotional expressions. However, contextual factors, individual psychological conditions, body language, and facial expressions also play crucial roles in determining the emotional meaning of verbal communication. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of emotions requires an approach that considers all these aspects together.

Abstract

Mastering speaking skills is essential for effective communication in English language learning. However, many students face challenges in developing these skills. Preliminary research at SMA N 1 Baradatu revealed that 60% of tenth-grade students scored below the minimum competency criterion (KKM) of 72. This study aimed to examine the impact of using the chain story game on the speaking ability of tenth-grade students at SMA N 1 Baradatu during the 2024/2025 academic year. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The population comprised tenth-grade students at SMA N 1 Baradatu, with a sample of 68 students: 34 from class X IPA 2 and 34 from class X IPS 1. Data collection involved providing treatment to the experimental group, while the control group received no intervention. Oral pre-tests and post-tests were conducted for both groups, and the data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 25. Since the data were neither normally distributed nor homogeneous, the Mann-Whitney U test was used. The analysis revealed a significance value (p-value) of 0.000, lower than α = 0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The results demonstrate that the chain story game significantly improved students' speaking abilities. This study highlights the potential of interactive and innovative techniques, such as the chain story game, to address challenges in speaking skill development and enhance student engagement in English language learning.

Abstract

This study evaluates the quality of the English textbook for Grade XI of senior high school in Indonesia, titled Pathway to English Tingkat Lanjut, using a qualitative document analysis methodology. The research examines the textbook based on established criteria for high-quality English learning materials, including practical considerations, layout and design, activities, skills development, language types, and subject content. Data were collected through a systematic review of the textbook's structure, exercises, and content, which were then compared to pedagogical standards and best practices in English language teaching. The findings reveal that the textbook meets expectations in terms of practical considerations, layout, design, activities, and basic skills development. However, it lacks essential supporting materials such as workbooks and audio resources, which are critical for comprehensive language learning. It also provides a general overview of content rather than a detailed introduction and offers limited coverage of grammar and vocabulary, with no emphasis on natural pronunciation, authentic language usage, or diverse registers and accents. The grammar explanations are not concise or user-friendly, and the examples provided are insufficient for learners' needs. Moreover, the subject matter lacks variety, reducing its ability to engage and motivate students. These findings underscore the need for targeted revisions to address these shortcomings, aligning the textbook with modern pedagogical standards and enhancing its effectiveness in fostering real-life English communication skills. Future research should explore the integration of multimedia resources and evaluate the textbook's impact in classroom settings.
