Abstract

This study delves into the early language development of a 25-month-old toddler, emphasizing phonological aspects encompassing consonants, vowels, and diphthongs. Conducted in Palembang in December 2023, the research employs a qualitative methodology utilizing a case study approach. The investigation aims to address the crucial role of phonological development in early language acquisition and its implications for linguistic theory and pedagogy. By focusing on the phonological repertoire of a toddler identified as "M. AH," this study contributes to bridging the gap in research regarding early phonological development in Bahasa Indonesia-speaking children. Key research questions include identifying the range of phonological elements mastered by the toddler and exploring potential factors influencing their linguistic development. The analysis reveals the toddler's adeptness in articulating various phonemes, including 14 consonants, six vowels, and several diphthongs, within their linguistic environment. These findings shed light on the intricate process of early language acquisition and underscore the importance of understanding phonological development in diverse linguistic contexts. Methodologically, the research utilizes direct observation and recording techniques to capture and analyze the toddler's linguistic interactions and productions. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the early stages of language acquisition, offering implications for both research and practice in child language development and education.

Abstract

Translanguaging, a practice that recognises and utilizes  multilingual students’ linguistic repertoires has emerged as a crucial approach in challenging traditional language policies, particularly in the South African educational landscape.Despite its embrace, a colonial stance still persists in teaching practices. Through a critical analysis of teaching materials used in an academic literacy course, this paper explores how translanguaging is currently being used in teaching and learning. Findings reveal a tension in the sense that even though students’ language practices are acknowledged, the materials still maintain a dominant position for English. This highlights the need to move beyond a simplistic view of multilingualism towards a more holistic embrace of translanguaging.Set against this background, this research argues that translanguaging can bridge the abyssal divide created by colonialism. It emphasizes the unifying potential of translanguaging, fostering an educational landscape that celebrates South Africa's rich linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. Ultimately, the study calls upon educators to move beyond the limitations of standardized languages and fully embrace translanguaging as a transformative force for decolonization.At the end, the paper calls for further research.

Abstract

There is a pressing need for professional Indonesian language teachers to enhance the learning experience for foreign speakers. This study focuses on examining language errors in BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) learners' essay writing, particularly in terms of punctuation placement, sentence structure, word choice, and the factors contributing to these errors. A qualitative method with a case study approach was employed, utilizing data collection techniques such as document analysis and Voice Note (VN) recordings via WhatsApp. The primary data sources included essays from BIPA students in Timor Leste and voice recordings of BIPA teachers in Timor Leste. The study identified several language errors in the students' essays, including improper use of punctuation, incorrect word choice, and ineffective sentence structure. The researchers also uncovered several factors causing these errors: language and cultural gaps, insufficient learning resources and teaching staff, and inadequacies in the curriculum and foreign language learning policies. The implications of the research findings for BIPA learning are significant. To improve learning outcomes, it is essential to make learning resources more engaging and accessible. Additionally, addressing the gap between the targeted curriculum and student needs can be achieved by regularly evaluating and adjusting the language learning curriculum. Providing training to teachers and facilitating educators with a strong background in Indonesian language education are crucial steps to help BIPA students overcome their learning difficulties. These measures will contribute to a more effective and supportive learning environment for BIPA students.

Abstract

Bima language verbs constitute one of the primary and complex word classes, pivotal in speech for their ability to determine the presence of arguments and assign semantic roles to each accompanying argument. This research aims to elucidate the configuration of meaning and explication of the verb 'refine' in the Bima language. The data source comprises oral data collected from native speakers in Bima Regency, West Southeast Nusa. Data collection employed the listening method and note-taking techniques. The analysis utilized the Natural Semantic Metalanguage Theory (NSM), applying the equivalent method to analyze semantic structures and meaning components, and the distribution method to examine semantic roles. The findings reveal that the verbs in the Bima lexicon associated with 'refine' are categorized as action verbs, exhibiting exponents of incompositional polysemy such as 'doing' and 'happening'. This indicates that while the verb 'refine' maintains a consistent core meaning, it encompasses specific nuances critical for accurate language use. The verb 'refine' in Bima is mapped to several semantic domains: entity, process, tool, and result. It encompasses a range of meanings expressed by the lexicons: Soro (shove), kampao (smooth), ramba (sharpen), goso, soso (rub), kaniu (smooth), saruncu (to grind), pana`a (chewing), khasbi (pounding), kiru (crushing), gili (grinding), ndina (stomping), ledi (working), and mbaju (pounding). This research represents the first comprehensive study of the 'refine' verb in the Bima language, providing crucial insights into its semantic structure and usage.

Abstract

The pedagogy of Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Indonesia (TEFLIN) underscores the significance of substantive content in language instruction. This paper elucidates the pivotal role of integrating culturally relevant materials into English teaching-learning curricula to effectively develop students’ linguistic competence and linguistic performance. Drawing upon the symbiotic relationship between language and culture, the discourse explores how native speakers' cultural nuances in instructional materials catalyze students' linguistic competence and character development. Central to this approach is the recognition that language acquisition encompasses understanding the cultural underpinnings inherent in communication. This study delves into the pedagogical framework wherein the exploration and elucidation of linguistic features within input texts serve as conduits for delving into students' indigenous wisdom, thereby fostering character-building opportunities. However, successfully integrating these materials for character development hinges upon educators' adeptness in devising contextually relevant teaching-learning activities. Emphasizing the intrinsic moral values interwoven within instructional materials, this paper delineates a structured approach to character development through TEFLIN. Based on experiential insights, this article delineates a procedural framework for leveraging learning materials and teaching-learning activities within TEFLIN to nurture character traits. The outlined phases encompass pre-teaching rituals to set a conducive learning environment, interactive pedagogical approaches during instruction, and reflective post-teaching assessments. Educators are empowered to cultivate a culture of ethical consciousness and character refinement among students by accentuating the integration of moral values throughout the instructional process.

Abstract

The concept of learning styles proposing the alignment of teaching methods and individual learning styles to enhance learning outcomes has gained popularity among English language teachers. However, numerous studies have debunked the concept by exposing weaknesses in the instruments used to measure learning styles and the underlying hypothesis. Therefore, there is a need for more research focusing on the merits and demerits of implementing learning styles theory in EFL classroom instruction. This study is presented to provide empirical understanding into the issue by presenting the latest research findings and providing recommendations for EFL teachers. To achieve this aim, the researchers conduct a literature review by collecting data from various document references and theories supporting the research. The literature was collected from journal articles published in the last five years, from 2018 to 2023. Based on the review, some studies confirmed that tailoring teaching methods to individual learning styles contributed to improved learning outcomes for EFL students. Conversely, other research has shown no significant or consistent correlation between teaching-specific learning styles and students' achievement. To address this disparity, the present study suggested that foreign language teachers maximize teaching-learning by considering several factors rather than one, such as teaching strategy, students' interpersonal orientations, knowledge, students' background, and interests. Teachers can balance instructional approaches, methods, and activities and apply various teaching strategies to reach all learners.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) within the Kurikulum Merdeka framework in Gowa District, Indonesia, focusing on English teachers' experiences and strategies. Using qualitative methods, including surveys (n=12), focus group discussions (n=7), and in-depth interviews (n=2), the study identifies challenges such as limited vocabulary, uneven proficiency levels, and insufficient resources. Strategies to overcome these challenges include promoting peer communication, leveraging multimedia resources, and fostering parental involvement. Comparisons with curriculum reforms in South Korea, Japan, and Bangladesh provide a global perspective on CLT implementation.The findings highlight the positive impact of CLT on students' communicative competence and suggest that Kurikulum Merdeka's focus on independent learning and project-based initiatives, along with collaborative activities such as English day, clubs, camps, and competitions, can further support CLT. However, effective execution, continuous evaluation, and addressing diverse educational backgrounds and regional disparities are essential for achieving the desired English proficiency outcomes. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers to enhance English language teaching in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Digital literacy practices are a current issue and exciting topic, mainly for two reasons: many activities are integrated with digital technology, and one of them is English language teaching, which requires technological innovation to improve English language achievement. This study describes how English language teachers can develop and implement digital literacy practices in English classes. Qualitative research is the methodology utilised in this study, employing online interviews and questionnaires as the research tools. The study results show that many participants want to implement digital literacy practices in English classes. They must make digitally comprehensive preparations, practical implementation, and comprehensive assessments. There are some steps to implement digital literacy practices in English language teaching: adoption, adaptation, application, CALL, and MALL. So, English language teachers should follow five steps to implement digital literacy practices in English classes. The five steps are in line with preparation, implementation, and assessment. Digital literacy practices encourage English language teachers to improve and integrate their English language knowledge, skills, and character day by day. Digital literacy practices help English language teachers develop comprehensive preparation, efficient implementation, and comprehensive assessment more efficiently.

Abstract

English is evolving into a lingua franca, reflecting its capabilities in global communication. Educators are challenged to prepare students for this linguistic landscape. The ELF teaching component facilitates effective cross-cultural communication,  which is essential in today's interconnected world. This study aims to explore the implementation and pre-service teachers' perceptions of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and provide insights for Indonesian teacher preparation programs and curriculum development. The research design used mixed methods, with questionnaires and interviews as research instruments, and involved 64 pre-service English teachers in Indonesia. Convenience sampling was used to collect quantitative data. Google Form responses from the participants were taken for data analysis and tabulation. Descriptive statistics were conducted on the data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS v. 20). The results show the importance of improving pre-service teachers' understanding and implementation of ELF teaching practices in Indonesia. They need assistance in implementing ELF-based teaching approaches. Recommendations are given to incorporate ELF more effectively into the curriculum and teacher training to support the development of their teaching skills. Therefore, ELF teaching not only influences English language teaching but also plays an essential role in preparing students to communicate in a multilingual global context. Through better understanding and implementation of ELF teaching practices, teachers can help students develop critical cross-cultural communication skills.
