The discussion section of a research article serves to explain and highlight the importance of the study’s results in relation to the existing knowledge surrounding the research problem. This section should be given more attention since the researcher would give his ideas through his own words and sentences. Accordingly, this research attempts to discover the sentence length and pattern in the discussion section of a research article by international authors in applied linguistics published in international journals. The method used in this study was a descriptive qualitative study to discover and describe the data. The total number of articles in this study was 30 from six international accredited journals sites indexed by corpus (Q1). The first result indicated that the most frequent types were Medium and Long sentences. It may imply that the authors are willing to write efficient sentences by combining two or more simple sentences to deliver ideas more informatively. The second result indicated that the most frequent types of sentence patterns were Simple and Complex sentences. The authors tended to make simple sentences to help the readers understand the ideas and thought more easily. The authors created complex sentences to make the discussion more efficient and to avoid the redundant of the same sentences or repetition. The third result indicated that RELC articles had the highest frequency of long sentences among all five different journals. The fourth result indicated that RELC articles had the lowest frequency of simple sentences and a relatively frequent number of complex sentences among the five different journals. In contrast, GEMA articles had the highest frequency of simple sentences and a relatively small number of complex sentences. In conclusion, even though the five journals are classified as Quartile 1, they still had differences.

Language knowledge and presentation skills are part of the essential characteristics that an English tutor must possess. However, in reality, a tutor who identifies as a non-native English speaker is not really able to be an adequate model for English language learning coupled with many traditional methods that fail to meet the diverse needs of students, for example not utilizing modern technological tools effectively, and sometimes tutors do not have sufficient awareness of pedagogical knowledge and linguistic knowledge to be a role model of English in the EFL context. Through critical reflection using the 3 Whats model, this research explores how the learning process inspires and motivates students to become English education students, who are designed to become future teachers. 136 English education students were involved in writing a critical reflection after the lecture of Phonetics and Phonology Subject lecture for one semester ended. The findings show that the tutor has the capacity assessed in nine criteria of ideal language teachers, namely having competence, liking English when teaching, motivating, consistently giving feedback, facilitating students to show their abilities, innovating to overcome students' difficulties, appreciating students' work, and being professional in whatever they do. Therefore, further investigation is needed to explore how technology impacts in building of students' critical language awareness.

EFL textbooks play a crucial role in building sociocultural understanding for young learners, particularly in developing their perspectives and perceptions of gender. This study systematically and critically examines how representations of femininity emerge in Indonesian EFL textbooks for junior high school students. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this study examines how femininity is discursively constructed through various textual and visual sources. Referring back to the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework proposed by Fairclough (1995), this study critiques and analyzes how women, including girls, are portrayed in these textbooks, particularly in social contexts such as family, work, and community life. The findings highlight that some Indonesian EFL textbooks, particularly for junior high school students, predominantly reinforce traditional gender norms, strongly aligned with Neo-Ibuism. This contemporary discourse idealizes women as dedicated mothers and caregivers, while at the same time providing them with opportunities to have professional and leadership roles, albeit in limited areas. Such representation, while promoting a limited change, still risks perpetuating gender stereotypes that normalize multiple burdens for women. This study implies the need for more inclusive and diverse portrayals of femininity in educational materials to support the promotion of gender equality in Indonesian classrooms and, more broadly, Indonesian education.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of English language podcasts in enhancing the listening skills of grade XI students at SMA Negeri 2 Palu. The research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. A total of 34 students from class XI E participated as the sample. To assess students’ initial listening proficiency, a pre-test was administered prior to the treatment. The treatment consisted of listening sessions using selected English podcasts from the YouTube channel “Easy English.” Following the treatment, a post-test was conducted to measure any improvements in students’ listening comprehension. The results indicated a significant increase in the average scores, rising from 64.41 in the pre-test to 81.91 in the post-test. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test confirmed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two sets of scores. These findings suggest that English podcasts are effective learning tools for developing students’ listening skills. Their authentic and engaging nature, along with their flexible accessibility, makes podcasts a valuable supplement in English language instruction, particularly in fostering listening comprehension.

This research focuses on effectiveness of Think-Pair-Share (TPS) method for developing speaking or communicating skills of SMK Negeri 1’s tenth-grade culinary arts students. This research applied a quasi-experimental design with a pair of different kinds of groups: experimental and control. The experimental group was obtained treatment by implementing Think-Pair-Share method, while the conventional approach was used to teach the control group. Pre and post-tests assessed students' speaking skills regarding accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. The findings revealed that TPS (Think-Pair-Share) method significantly increased students' speaking proficiency, as seen by a mean score increase in the experimental group from 40.15 to 51.50. The Mann-Whitney test proved major differences between each of the groupings (p < 0.05). Indicating the TPS improves speaking proficiency. The data indicate that TPS (Think-Pair-Share) is such a successful cooperative learning strategy which increases student engagement, reduces speaking fear, and improves communicative competence in English.

This study aims to investigate the benefits of implementing project-based learning (PBL) to create short stories using digital apps at the university level. Thirty-nine students from the English Education Department at a university in West Java were purposively selected as participants because they were enrolled in a Digital Storytelling course, making them directly relevant to the study’s objectives. They used a digital application to facilitate a project that required them to visualize their narratives as animated videos. This study employed a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through student reflections, observations, and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed thematically, following coding, categorization, and interpretation processes to identify recurring themes and patterns in students’ experiences. The findings indicate that students improved their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while enhancing their communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and technical abilities. Moreover, PBL fostered creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative engagement, creating a positive and supportive learning environment. These results suggest that integrating PBL with digital storytelling can significantly strengthen language proficiency and 21st-century skills, highlighting the need for institutional support to overcome technical challenges.

Listening cannot be underestimated, because listening is an important aspect of communication. In life if someone communicates with others, they must understand what the speaker says in writing and during conversation. This study's objective was to understand how animated videos can enhance individuals' capacity for learning. Pre-tests and post-tests were part of this study's single-group pre-experimental design. The sample was chosen using purposeful sampling. There were seven classes for eighth-grade students. It was from class VIIIA to VIIIG. The total population of class VIII was 220 students. The class selected as the Sample used in this study was class VIIIB, which had 29 students. Test instruments were utilized in this study to gather the score in pre-test and post-test. Twenty fill-in-the-blank and matching questions made up the test. To determine whether using animated video content enhanced students' listening skills, a paired sample t-test was used in the data analysis. The tests outcomes were compared in this investigation. Ha (Alternative Hypothesis) and H0 (Null Hypothesis) were hypotheses in this investigation. The average scores differed significantly, the study's findings. 56.96 was the pre-test score, while the post-test score was 69.96. The significance level was marginally below 0.05, as indicated by the paired sample t-test statistical analysis results, which were significant (two tails) at 0.030. In the end, Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected. Therefore, watching animated films helps children improve their ability to interact with others.

This study investigated how student–teacher relationships relate to English-speaking performance among 154 second-year students at MAN 1 Ogan Ilir. Relationship quality was measured using the 25-item Student–Teacher Relationship Measure (S-TRM) and categorized into Good, Fair, and Poor groups. Speaking performance was assessed through a task on “My Favorite Hobby” using a rubric covering fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar accuracy, and comprehension, with 33 students (11 per group) evaluated. The results showed a moderate, significant correlation between relationship quality and speaking scores (r = 0.450, p = 0.009). ANOVA confirmed significant differences among the groups (F = 5.180, p = 0.012), with the widest gap between the Good and Poor groups. These findings highlight that positive student–teacher relationships contribute to stronger speaking performance, consistent with Vygotsky’s sociocultural view of learning.

This study explored teachers' perceptions of implementing the Emancipated Curriculum in English language learning at a private junior high school in Palembang. A qualitative case study design was used, involving two English teachers selected through total sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews focusing on indicators such as teachers' views on the curriculum's implementation, benefits, and limitations. The data were transcribed and analyzed thematically to identify patterns and categories related to teachers' experiences. To ensure accuracy, member checking was conducted by sharing transcripts and findings with participants for validation. The results showed that teachers perceived the curriculum positively for its flexibility, student-centered approach, and opportunities for creative instruction. Project-based and differentiated learning were considered effective in encouraging student engagement and autonomy. However, teachers faced challenges, including limited training, reduced English teaching hours, and difficulties accessing relevant learning materials. These findings suggest that the successful implementation of the Emancipated Curriculum depends on strong institutional support, ongoing professional development, and sufficient resources to help teachers apply innovative approaches effectively.

This research examines the utilization of politeness strategies and gendered language among hospitality professionals at Ibis Styles Jakarta Mangga Dua Square. The main goals are threefold: to find out what kinds of politeness strategies front office staff use, to look at how gender affects the language choices they make when talking to guests, and to look at how important these strategies are for improving customer satisfaction and professional communication. Data were gathered via direct observation of daily service interactions and semi-structured interviews with staff, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of both practice and perception. The analysis shows that people often use both positive and negative politeness strategies. However, the way they use them depends on their gender. Female staff members were more likely to use both positive strategies, like friendly greetings and building solidarity, and negative strategies, like indirect requests and polite apologies. This shows that they were relational and empathetic. In contrast, male staff members mostly used positive politeness strategies that focused on being clear, confident, and efficient, especially when they were busy serving customers. These gendered differences exemplify overarching discourse patterns, including "rapport talk" and "report talk," thereby affirming that communication styles are influenced by both personal preferences and societal expectations, as well as professional standards. The findings underscore that linguistic strategies are not solely a matter of decorum but serve as essential instruments in fostering guest satisfaction and professional credibility. The study contends that neither empathetic nor efficiency-driven approaches should be favored; instead, both fulfill complementary roles in hospitality service delivery. By placing these insights in the context of actual hospitality practices, the research enhances applied linguistics, discourse studies, and hospitality management. It also has real-world effects on professional training and staff development programs that want to improve communication, flexibility, and service excellence in the global hospitality industry.
