Abstract

Understanding the reasons behind Speech Difficulties and Language Interference is a very urgent matter to address amidst the ease of access to learning English. This study investigates the challenges faced by Indonesian university students majoring in English Education in speaking English fluently. Despite having completed more than six semesters, many still mix Indonesian and English during conversations and show reluctance to use English with peers. Through semi-structured interviews with ten students preparing for teaching internships, this research explores motivational, linguistic, and sociocultural factors contributing to their speaking difficulties. The findings reveal a lack of speaking confidence, limited exposure to English input, and negative perceptions about accent and dialect as primary obstacles. Moreover, external factors such as minimal digital access in rural areas and parental pressure to enrol in the English program significantly reduce students' motivation. This study calls for a re-evaluation of English language pedagogy in teacher training programs by integrating motivational and sociolinguistic awareness.

Abstract

English for Medical Purposes (EMP) focuses on teaching domain-specific vocabulary in clinical settings, including psychiatry. However, psychiatric terminology poses particular challenges for novice nursing students due to linguistic complexity and mental health stigma. To address these issues, this study incorporated the English-subtitled K-Drama “Daily Dose of Sunshine” as an edutainment tool to support vocabulary acquisition and foster more constructive perceptions of psychiatric content. A retrospective descriptive design was employed to analyse existing data from researcher’s previous EMP instructional period at a health-focused higher education institution. This approach aimed to evaluate the pedagogical impact of audiovisual integration in psychiatric English instruction and to generate evidence-based insights for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) practice in researcher’s current vocational context. Data were collected through proportionate stratified sampling of 30 nursing students. The study utilized Likert-scale questionnaire to investigate students’ perceptions of using audiovisual media, Vocabulary Recognition Task (VRT) to measure psychiatric English vocabulary acquisition, and documentation to explore potential patterns between the two datasets. The findings indicated notable vocabulary gains, particularly among students with lower initial proficiency, and improved contextual understanding. These outcomes underscore the potential of edutainment in facilitating domain-specific language learning and reducing stigma. Furthermore, it offers valuable implications for the advancement of ESP instruction in specialized educational contexts.

Abstract

This study seeks to investigate the needs and problems of tourism workers and students of English Education Department in using English for Tourism in Penyengat Island as a heritage trail. In this study, 13 respondents comprising university students, tourist guides and merchandise vendors were asked about their needs and problems with using the English for tourism. To collect the data, we distributed questionnaires related to the two indicators in need analysis; needs and interviews to collect the problems faced by tourism players. Then, the data were analyzed based on its medium and standard deviation. The results showed that most of the participants value speaking as the utmost important skill in tourism. Another skill viewed critical is listening. While reading, and writing were deemed as an additional skill that might boost their competitive values. The three most important purposes of the English language were to provide information, services, and assistance. Inappropriate words and idioms, a limited vocabulary, and a lack of grammar expertise were among the issues with English use.

Abstract

This study explores the emotional experiences of a successful Indonesian in-service EFL teacher participating in an online teacher professional development (OTPD) program amid the dual crises of the COVID-19 pandemic and Cyclone Seroja. While prior research has explored teacher emotions during emergency remote teaching, little is known about how teachers negotiate emotional resilience under simultaneous global and local disasters. Using narrative inquiry and Hargreaves’s emotional geography framework, data were collected through virtual interviews and messaging, and then analyzed thematically. The findings highlight five emotional dimensions—physical, moral, sociocultural, professional, and political—that shaped the teacher’s journey. Despite life-threatening challenges, the participant demonstrated emotional resilience through intrinsic motivation, strong social support, and deep religious faith. These coping strategies enabled him to continue his professional development against tremendous odds. This study emphasizes the significance of acknowledging emotional geographies in OTPD, particularly in disaster-prone regions. It offers practical implications for educational institutions and policymakers to enhance teacher well-being by fostering empathy, flexibility, and support systems in professional learning programs.

Abstract

This study consistently employs a qualitative narrative-psycholinguistic design to analyze the cognitive and emotional dynamics in the construction of millennial identity within digital narratives on X, Instagram, and TikTok. The analysis integrates thematic analysis, operationalized psycholinguistic coding based on Plutchik’s theory of emotions and Gee’s framework of identity representation, as well as a critical interpretive approach by Fairclough to situate the findings within the digital socio-cultural context. Data were collected through purposive sampling of at least 10 public narratives from each platform over a two-week period, using explicit criteria based on emotional intensity (marked by words, emojis, punctuation), and explicit/implicit identity representation. The findings indicate that X is dominated by collective reflection and resistance to stigma; Instagram foregrounds self-validation and authenticity; while TikTok displays humor-resilience as a coping strategy against socio-economic pressures. The analysis also reveals the prevalence of cognitive reflection patterns, emotional expression, and cross-platform identity synthesis, which aligns with recent studies on digital literacy and the psychological well-being of the millennial generation. The study’s contribution is to clarify the interrelationship between language, cognition, and emotion in shaping the digital identity of Indonesian millennials, as well as to underscore the importance of operational clarity and cross-platform synthesis in digital psycholinguistic research. The study recommends expanding research into cross-cultural contexts and over a longer duration to capture the dynamics of digital identity more comprehensively.

Abstract

Writing remains one of the most demanding productive skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. To address this challenge, Project-Based Learning (PBL), a student-centered instructional approach, has gained attention for its potential to enhance student engagement and writing performance. This qualitative case study explored: (1) the instructional steps used in implementing PBL in writing lessons, (2) the assessment methods employed, (3) the perceived benefits of PBL on students’ writing skills, and (4) the challenges faced during implementation. Data were collected from classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document review and were then analyzed qualitatively. The findings revealed that the implementation of PBL followed five key stages: preparation, planning, research, presentation, and evaluation. Writing performance was assessed formatively using an analytical rubric. PBL was found to foster students’ writing development, increase their motivation and engagement, and build confidence. However, implementation challenges such as group management, unequal participation, and time constraints were also reported. These findings suggest that PBL can be a valuable pedagogical tool in EFL writing classrooms, promoting active learning and collaboration. Nonetheless, its success depends on careful instructional planning and strategies for overcoming implementation barriers.

Abstract

The integration of technology into education has reshaped pronunciation instruction, introducing innovative tools like Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) and speech recognition systems. This study aims to systematically review the trends and tools used in technology-assisted pronunciation learning and evaluate their effectiveness. Employing the PRISMA protocol, 27 peer-reviewed studies published between 2006 and 2024 were analyzed through a systematic review method. The findings reveal a significant rise in the use of Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT), mobile applications, and speech analysis software such as Praat, Audacity, and ASR-based systems. These tools offer interactive features, immediate feedback, and personalized learning, contributing to improved phonetic accuracy across segmental and suprasegmental aspects. The majority of studies focused on learners in higher education, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. While results demonstrate the positive impact of technology on pronunciation proficiency, limitations remain in long-term impact evidence and contextual adaptation, particularly in under-resourced settings. This study underscores the potential of digital tools to complement traditional methods and recommends future research to address sustainability, accessibility, and pedagogical integration.

Abstract

Vocabulary is a crucial component of learning English. Among the various methods employed by teachers, using flashcards is one of the most commonly practiced approaches. But how effective is it? This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using flashcards in teaching vocabulary to Vietnamese young learners and to examine potential differences in learning outcomes between male and female students. The research was conducted at a language center in Binh Duong, involving 30 first-grade students aged 5 to 6, all of whom were beginner-level English learners. An experimental research design was implemented, with participants divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group, each comprising 15 students. The experimental group was taught English vocabulary using flashcards, while the control group received instruction through traditional teaching methods without additional teaching aids. Data were collected through three assessments: a pre-test, a midterm test, and a post-test. The results demonstrated that flashcards are an effective tool for teaching English vocabulary to first-grade students. Additionally, the post-test revealed a significant difference in vocabulary acquisition between male and female students, with females outperforming their male counterparts when learning with flashcards. In conclusion, this study highlights the effectiveness of incorporating flashcards into vocabulary teaching and recommends their integration to improve learning outcomes. It also suggests tailoring teaching strategies to optimize vocabulary acquisition for both genders.
