The vocabulary teaching process has been discussed widely, and the studies that are concerned with the strategies for teaching English vocabulary were explored by many researchers. However, research about studentsâ€™ voices is commonly neglected. This descriptive quantitative research aims to fill this gap by investigating students' perceptions ofÂ WordshakeÂ andÂ Shusi SpellÂ games as tools for teaching English vocabulary. The two games were employed in Lexical Studies 1 class for seven meetings as ice-breaking activities. Then, the students (16 students) had to complete a closed questionnaire. The data were examined by finding out the percentage of every item in the questionnaire. The results showed two significant findings. Firstly, the students agreed that the games affected them positively. Secondly, the games influenced the teaching and learning process positively. In short,Â Wordshake and Shusi SpellÂ got studentsâ€™ positive responses.

Through the Opinion Expressions Method, this study seeks to improve students' speaking skill in the context of Islamic higher education. It was separated into two cycles and planned as a cooperative classroom action research project. Data were gathered throughout six speaking lesson meetings during the second semester's term from class observations, field notes, questionnaires, and speaking tests. 24 students participated in the study. Based on the specified success criteria, the researchers determined how well the students were developing their speaking skill. According to the results, 11 students (48%) failed the first cycle while 13 students (54%) successfully completed it. The researchers carried on to the following cycle because the studentsâ€™ speaking skill had not yet met the standards for success. Some changes were made to address the shortcomings in the First cycle, including: requiring more direction in structuring sentences by posing and responding to questions based on the callings in the photos provided in groups; encouraging students to be active in group work; emphasizing the importance of having fair distribution of work among the participants; and explaining that the direction-giving process should be improved. In the second cycle, 19 students (79%) successfully gained it, while just 5 students (21%) failed. Finally, a fascinating implication of this research was that the Opinion Expressions Method may be used to improve students' speaking skill.

This study aims to analyze the extent of students' needs for the use of e-modules in English subjects at high schools. Analyzing students' needs for learning media is a process carried out to identify the needs and characteristics of individual students to develop appropriate learning programs by utilizing suitable learning media. In analyzing students' needs for learning media, it is important to consider various factors, such as the most effective and efficient type of learning media to achieve learning goals, students' interests and preferences for learning media, and students' technological abilities. This research is quantitative and was conducted in 2023. The study sample consisted of students from three high schools in West Sumatra. The research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of 42 statements to analyze students' needs, covering three main aspects: (1) Necessities: Language aspects that students must master, (2) Lacks: Language aspects that students have and have not mastered, (3) Wants: Language aspects that students want to learn. The questionnaire used a Likert scale with four response categories: very needed, needed, not needed, and very not needed. Data were analyzed using the class interval technique to categorize the results. The findings revealed that English language skills are highly needed by students, and they are eager to master them. Additionally, English learning media is considered essential by students to support their learning process. The types of learning media students desire include: (1) Electronic learning media that can improve English language skills, (2) Media that utilizes audio-visual elements, (3) Media that is flexible, accessible anytime and anywhere. These results emphasize the importance of developing learning media that aligns with students' needs and preferences to enhance the effectiveness of English learning in high schools.

This study aims to investigate politeness in presidential candidate debates from the Interactional Sociolinguistics (IS) perspective. The approach was taken because there was a lack of studies that connected politeness with IS, considering that IS is great for examining social phenomena, especially sensitive conversations between high-status people. To acquire a clear insight into the phenomenon, this study uses discourse analysis on video transcripts of “The Third Debate of Presidential Candidates for the 2024 Election,” taken from the KPU RI YouTube channel. The analysis process drew on existing research to support the interpretation. The researcher analyses 170 data (clustered into 117 data of positive face and 53 data of negative face), including the frequencies and categories from the face-saving acts (FSA) and face-threatening acts (FTA). The identified aspects of Face-threatening Acts (FTAs) are criticism, threat, interruption, critical disagreement, dismission or ignorance, and demanding a satisfying response. Face-saving Acts (FSAs) identified aspects are providing equal opportunity, clarifying and apologizing, requesting cooperation, agreement while giving criticism, and providing equal opportunity. Fascinatingly, this study found that face-threatening acts sometimes necessary to use and impolite acts are acceptable if the speaker had “roles” in the conversation. Additionally, this study discovered that it is possible to measure the significance level of politeness, which will be extremely helpful for future research.

The main goal is to find out how these kids view and negotiate the program, which is meant to provide learning chances outside the conventional classroom setting, thereby improving both soft and hard abilities. Descriptive analysis was used in a qualitative research approach with which an in-depth knowledge of the experiences of the students could be obtained. Purposive sampling was used in the study to choose four students—one male and three female actively participating in the MBKM program. One month of observation and one-month of interviews comprised the data collecting process. Twice a week observations were undertaken, and students were free to carefully communicate their experiences thanks to WhatsApp interviews. According to the study, the MBKM program offers students useful chances for experiential learning, so promoting critical thinking, creativity, and useful skills development. Still highlighted, though, were difficulties with time management and adjusting to different learning contexts.
