Abstract

This study investigates the translation competence of third-semester students in the English Education Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar, focusing on the translation of argumentative texts from English into Indonesian. While previous research has mainly examined narrative or descriptive genres, studies on argumentative texts remain limited, despite their prominence in academic contexts and their demanding linguistic and cognitive features. This study addresses the lack of empirical work on argumentative translation and contributes practical strategies for EFL teachers. A quantitative descriptive design was employed to evaluate students’ translation performance across three key dimensions: accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Data were collected through a performance-based translation test and assessed using a rubric adapted from Nababan (2012). Findings revealed that although most students produced translations that were acceptable and readable, accuracy emerged as the most problematic dimension. Only 53.3% of the students achieved fully accurate translations, compared with stronger performance in acceptability (66.7%) and moderate results in readability (40%). These outcomes indicate that while students demonstrated cultural and linguistic fluency, they struggled with semantic precision and logical coherence. The results highlight the pedagogical need for integrating genre-based translation tasks into EFL curricula and providing explicit instruction in strategies such as managing logical flow, coherence, and stylistic alignment.

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the strategy of a teenager with progeria to represent his identity and ideology through the analysis of transitivity and critical discourse analysis. This research applied a qualitative descriptive study. The data is taken from TEDx Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36m1o-tM05g entitled My philosophy for a happy life. The storyteller named Sam Bern told his life philosophy despite his disability due progeria disease. This study applied Fairclough’s approach (1989) on critical discourse analysis incorporating with Hallyday & Matthiessen’s SFL (2004) to the analysis of transitivity and discourse practice. The study found that the storyteller frequently used relational process with 39.79%, material process with 33.16%, and mental process with 24.62%. In relational process, the storyteller bravely defined himself, his condition, his sickness, and his struggle against progeria. Through material process, he represented himself as a dynamic and active person that even his disease or physical disability could not hinder him from doing what he could do. The study also found that Sam Bern showed his success in accepting himself as a child with progeria by trying to negotiate his identity and resilience. The implication of this study suggests that storytelling can be a powerful pedagogical resource for teachers and educators to promote resilience, identity formation, and positive values among students, particularly in contexts where personal challenges and diversity need to be addressed.

Abstract

Textbooks serve an important impact in molding students' learning outcomes, especially in terms of reading comprehension and cognitive skills. Recent research on Indonesian EFL textbooks, however, indicates that comprehension tasks are frequently dominated by lower level thinking skills (LOTS), with few possibilities for higher order thinking skills (HOTS). The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which LOTS and HOTS are reflected in the reading comprehension activities of the English for Nusantara textbook. A qualitative content analysis approach was used to assess 64 reading comprehension questions from five chapters using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. The data suggest that LOTS are more prominently represented (64%), particularly at the remembering and comprehending levels, while HOTS appear to a lesser extent (36%) while analyzing and assessing activities. The generating level (C6) was missing from all chapters. Although the cognitive requirement gradually increased in later chapters, the overall distribution remained imbalanced, with LOTS dominating the majority of activities. Beyond description, these findings have practical ramifications. Teachers are encouraged to enhance their classroom practice by including HOTS-oriented activities such as debates, project-based learning, and creative writing projects to build evaluation and creation abilities. Textbook authors and curriculum developers, meanwhile, should redesign future editions to include a more balanced number of LOTS and HOTS, ensuring that comprehension exercises not only strengthen core literacy but also challenge students to think critically and creatively. By doing so, textbooks can better connect with the ideals of the Kurikulum Merdeka and the Profil Pelajar Pancasila.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between core Japanese language competencies Kanji, Bunpou (grammar), Dokkai (reading comprehension), and Choukai (listening comprehension) and success on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). This quantitative, predictive correlational research involved 60 students enrolled in Universitas Negeri Semarang Japanese language program. Based on the structural equation modelling and binary logistic regression analysis, the combined effects of Kanji, Bunpou (grammar), Dokkai (reading), and Choukai (listening) on JLPT outcomes were highly significant (χ² (4) = 42.957, p < 0.001), accounting for 73.4% of the variance (Nagelkerke R2.734). The model correctly classified 95% of cases, has an 88% accuracy for failures, and has a 98% accuracy for passes, indicating its robust predictive power. All four competencies were also significantly related to JLPT performance when considered separately (all p < 0.001). However, only Kanji (p = 0.041, odds ratio ≈ 1.69) and Bunpou (p = 0.046, odds ratio ≈ 1.77) were significantly associated with JLPT performance in the simultaneous model, as the impacts of Dokkai and Choukai were not significant. These findings imply that grammar, vocabulary and Kanji are fundamental elements for Japanese language learning, with reading and listening comprehension being heavily reliant on these skills. Therefore, because mastery of both lexical and syntactic skills appears to be a prerequisite for other abilities to meaningfully influence JLPT performance, this study recommends refining the integrative linguistic threshold concept and adopting a more comprehensive ‘Foundational-First’ pedagogical framework. It further suggests structuring weekly learning cycles to prioritize intensive lexico-syntactic automatization as the essential gateway to developing higher-order reading and listening proficiency.

Abstract

Education plays a strategic role in developing students’ potential; however, low learning outcomes remain a persistent challenge, often resulting from teaching methods that fail to accommodate diverse learning styles. Recognizing that learners possess distinct preferences—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic—this study emphasizes the importance of adapting instructional approaches to align with these differences, thereby fostering more effective learning experiences. This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of differentiated instruction tailored to students’ learning styles in improving learning outcomes among third-grade students at SD Negeri Pao-Pao, Gowa Regency. Employing a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design, the study involved 29 students. Instruments included written tests and a VARK-based learning style questionnaire, and data were analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, followed by one-way ANOVA to examine differences in learning outcomes across the three learning style groups. The results showed that while statistical differences among visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners were not significant, each group exhibited notable gains in posttest scores. Visual learners benefited most from the use of diagrams and multimedia, auditory learners from discussion-based learning, and kinesthetic learners from hands-on activities. These findings indicate that differentiated instruction—when responsive to learning preferences—can significantly enhance students’ engagement and overall academic achievement. The study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting inclusive and adaptive pedagogy in Indonesian elementary education and provides practical recommendations for teachers to incorporate multimodal strategies in lesson planning while encouraging policymakers to promote professional development programs focused on differentiated instruction as a pathway to improving learning equity and quality.

Abstract

Pamali is a form of local wisdom that has been passed down from generation to generation and is still believed by some people today. Pamali reflects prohibitions or warnings that are believed to bring bad luck if violated. The purpose of this study is to determine the realization of Pamali words in Sasak culture as expressions and usage in pronouns, as well as the cultural values of Pamali words, and to describe Pamali in supporting the sustainability of knowledge and noble traditions within the framework of SDGs. This study is based on linguistic anthropology and ethnography theories. Data in this study were collected by applying participatory observation and in-depth interview methods, accompanied by recording and note-taking techniques. The data were analyzed using two methods: the Miles and Haberman analysis model (data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion) and the Spradley analysis model. The results of the analysis show that the Sasak people view pamali as a norm that, if upheld, can create peace and tranquility in life; conversely, if violated, it can lead to dehumanization. The word pamali is practiced by the Sasak people in the form of greetings, which are used in the form of nouns and are closely related to cultural and ethical norms. Pamali in Sasak society serves to regulate politeness and maintain social harmony through pronouns that are sensitive to age and status, where violations are considered to be a violation of honor. This practice also preserves cultural knowledge and supports the sustainability of local traditions within the framework of the SDGs.

Abstract

The urgency of this study stems from the growing gap in English language learning, particularly in mastering English structures such as passive voice and complex sentences, which has widened in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. EFL students often struggle to comprehend complex grammatical forms, which adversely affects their writing and speaking proficiency. Adaptive AI-based technology presents a promising solution by offering personalized, interactive, and effective learning experiences. This study aims to experimentally investigate the effectiveness of adaptive AI technology in enhancing EFL students’ understanding of English structure, specifically by comparing it to conventional teaching methods. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach was employed. The population consisted of undergraduate students majoring in English, and the sample comprised 60 students divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instruction using adaptive AI technology, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pretests, posttests, questionnaires, and interviews. Inferential statistical analysis, including MANOVA, was conducted to determine significant differences in grammar mastery between groups. The results indicated a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group's posttest scores (M = 84.70) compared to the control group (M = 74.30), particularly in mastering passive voice and complex sentences. Students also reported positive perceptions of the AI-based learning experience. This study contributes to the advancement of English language teaching and offers a scalable model for integrating adaptive AI in language education.

Abstract

The integration of AI in EFL is increasingly vital to meet the demands of digital content creation, where English serves as a global medium for audience engagement. This study aims to investigate how students view the usefulness of an AI-based English e-module in improving their abilities and involvement in the production of digital content. An explanatory sequential mixed-method was used in this study. The data were gathered from 44 students of communication science study program at Universitas Ahmad Dahlan. Quantitative data were collected via a structured questionnaire grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and qualitative data were gathered through structured interviews with six purposively chosen participants. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analyses. Results revealed strong positive perceptions: the AI feature usefulness item recorded M = 3.98, the comparative effectiveness over conventional methods item yielded M = 3.89, and overall satisfaction achieved M = 3.91. Thematic analysis confirmed the value of real-time chatbot feedback and automated corrections in enhancing scriptwriting and confidence, though device incompatibilities and navigation issues emerged as barriers. These results suggest that in order to acquire real digital communication abilities, educators should incorporate AI-driven e-modules into task-based EFL curricula. Additionally, system design should give priority to multilingual support and cross-device optimization in order to guarantee equitable access.

Abstract

Inclusive education for Deaf students in Indonesia continues to face pedagogical challenges, particularly in English language instruction due to the limited availability of accessible and appropriate learning materials. Deaf learners often experience difficulties in vocabulary acquisition and comprehension when instruction relies heavily on text-based approaches. This study aims to conduct a needs analysis to inform the development of culturally inclusive and bilingual English learning materials for Deaf students. Using a qualitative research design, structured interviews were conducted with two English teachers and eight Deaf students at SLBB YPAC Palembang. The data were analyzed using Target Situation Analysis (TSA) and Present Situation Analysis (PSA) frameworks. The findings reveal that Deaf students require strong visual support and the integration of Indonesian Sign Language (BISINDO) to facilitate vocabulary learning and comprehension. Participants also emphasized the importance of incorporating local cultural elements from Palembang, such as traditional food, arts, and dance, to enhance engagement and strengthen cultural identity. Pop-up books emerged as effective multimodal learning media due to their visual, tactile, and interactive features that align with Deaf students’ learning preferences. In conclusion, this study highlights the urgent need for bilingual, multimodal, and culturally responsive English learning materials. The findings provide practical implications for the development of inclusive instructional resources that can reduce learning barriers and promote equitable English language education for Deaf learners.

Abstract

In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in higher education, Intensive Listening courses are expected to prepare students for the demands of academic listening yet teaching practices do not always align with students' actual needs. This study explores the impact of students' listening needs on the development of lecturers' pedagogical competencies in Intensive Listening courses. Using a mixed-methods needs analysis design, data were collected from 120 students in three classes through questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while observation and interview data were analyzed thematically and combined through triangulation. The research findings indicate that students prioritize academic listening as their primary goal, but still struggle with lexical density, high speech rate, accent variation, and note-taking when dealing with long spoken texts involving multiple speakers. Students also strongly prefer multimodal and scaffolded activities, particularly video-based materials supported by transcripts or subtitles and clear guidance at the pre-listening, during-listening, and post-listening stages. These needs point to specific areas where lecturers' pedagogical competencies need to be strengthened, including planning and designing academic listening tasks, implementing process-oriented instruction and strategies, and implementing assessments that truly reflect the demands of academic listening. This study proposes the EPMT (ESP-informed, Process-oriented, Metacognitive, and TPACK-supported) model as a practical framework for aligning Intensive Listening pedagogy with students' needs.
