Abstract

The context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, teacher’s talk is crucial to control classroom interactions and enhance language learning. This qualitative case study investigated how seventh-grade female students were motivated to learn English as a result of their teacher’s talk. The study used the Flanders Interaction Analysis Category System (FIACS) to classify teacher’s talk through classroom observations and interviews. The results revealed that giving instructions, asking questions, and expressing encouragement or praise were the most common ways teachers communicated. Students’ motivation and engagement were greatly enhanced by these verbal techniques. On the other hand, engagement was often hampered by the lack of student-centered discourse, such as accepting students’ opinions or using harsh criticism. A key novelty of this study is the exploration of gender dynamics, specifically how a male teacher communicates with an all-female class in an Islamic educational setting, a context rarely examined in prior research. The study highlights the importance of teacher communication strategies in fostering a supportive and motivating EFL classroom environment.

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

One manifestation of gender injustice is the unequal representation of women in the entertainment and media industries particularly in movies. In Barbie 2023, the characters play a substantial role in depicting the reality of gender issues. This research aims to analyze how women are represented in the 2023 Barbie film. It employed Critical Discourse Analysis involving an in-depth analysis of the grammar, narrative structure, word usage, and social context of the discourse representing gender injustice. The study is done to reveal how discourse can influence the formation of thought, culture, and power in society.  The main data for this research is the film and its dialogue transcriptions. The analysis process focuses on in-depth analysis of conversations between characters and their interactions in order to reveal how female figures are depicted in the story. Sara Mills' discourse analysis theoretical framework is applied to dissect the choice of diction and sentence structure used to represent women, alongside the theory of subject position, object, and reader position. In line with the principles of CDA, which bridges textual analysis with broader socio-political critique, this study also incorporates feminist and gender theory to explore how these linguistic choices and positional roles perpetuate patriarchal power structures and ideologies within the societal context reflected in the film. The research results demonstrated gender biases and stereotypes in film dialogue, which reflected the condition of gender inequality in wider society. Analysis reveals that language actively reinforces existing power structures and gender disparities. These findings highlight the need for continued critical examination of gender representations in media. Future research should build on this work by applying evolving perspectives, such as intersectional feminism or queer theory, to analyze a wider array of cinematic works. This will foster an ongoing scholarly dialogue and provide deeper insights into the complex construction of gender in popular culture.

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.
