Abstract

The current existence of AI is unstoppable. Many parties consider AI to be a serious threat to the world of education, including universities. The use of AI by students in doing tasks often causes anxiety among lecturers. There is concern that AI reduces students’ creativity in exploring their own ideas in making essays or designing learning materials (worksheets). One of the courses that require students to explore their creativity is ESP Material Development. In this course, students are required to learn to develop teaching materials in the form of worksheets in accordance with the needs analysis results identified in the ESP Program Design course. This research is designed to find out students' tendencies in using AI for developing ESP worksheet, while also finding out whether they think that AI chatbot is really useful for them so that they can yield an ESP worksheet whose activities are in accordance with the learning objectives and having an attractive and professional appearance in the same time. The methods used were questionnaires for and FGD with 40 ESP Material Development class students. It was found that most students tried to use AI chatbot for getting inspiration whenever they get stuck in finding more ideas for their worksheets. Most students admitted that AI helped them in that situation. However, they did not recommend the use of AI from the very beginning of developing worksheets. They confessed that using AI would cause confusion and reduce creativity when it is used since very beginning.

Abstract

Flashcards have long been recognized as effective tools for enhancing vocabulary acquisition, particularly among young learners. However, much of the existing research has focused on secondary or higher education, leaving a gap in understanding their impact on primary school students. This study addresses the need for a deeper exploration of flashcards as a teaching tool in elementary English language instruction. Specifically, the research focuses on the development and evaluation of flashcard-based instructional materials designed to improve vocabulary retention, student engagement, and motivation in young learners. The research utilized the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) to develop flashcards tailored to young learners, emphasizing visually engaging and interactive materials. The findings demonstrated significant improvements in student engagement and vocabulary retention, with high effectiveness scores and positive feedback from both teachers and students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to evaluate the results from the validity, practicality, and effectiveness tests. The findings reveal that the flashcards significantly enhanced students' vocabulary retention, engagement, and motivation, as demonstrated by high scores in effectiveness tests and positive feedback from both teachers and students. Teachers found the materials practical and easy to implement, while students responded favorably to the visual appeal and interactive nature of the flashcards. The findings highlight flashcards as an effective tool for improving vocabulary acquisition and engagement in primary education, offering a practical strategy for early language development.

Abstract

Research on speech acts has been extensively conducted by scholars; however, studies specifically focusing on prohibitive speech acts, especially regarding the forms and functions of local wisdom values within these acts, are still quite rare. This research is aimed at exploring the forms and functions of local wisdom values in the prohibitive speech acts of the Kerinci community. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method which involved ten informants from Pondok Tinggi Village and Sungai Penuh Village, Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province. The data were collected using observation, note-taking, and recording for two months. The data were analyzed qualitatively by using an interactive model. The results show that the forms of local wisdom values in the prohibitive speech acts of the Kerinci community were prohibitive speech acts with consequences and without consequences. These prohibitions encompass local wisdom values across moral, respectful behaviour, health, safety, social harmony, responsibility, ethics, and environmental stewardship. Moreover, the functions of local wisdom values in the prohibitive speech acts in the Kerinci community serve as a means of behaviour control and convey local wisdom values that support moral education and environmental preservation. Furthermore, the functions emphasize the importance of integrating local values into education to enhance community awareness of the environment and social relationships. Thus, integrating these local values into educational contexts could foster community awareness of environmental and social responsibilities, supporting cultural preservation and reinforcing the importance of these values for future generations.

Abstract

This study aims to address the need to promote the integration of Pancasila student profile values—specifically independence, critical thinking, and creativity—into listening-speaking supplementary materials for grade VII students at a state junior high school in Kolaka Utara. By understanding the target needs and learning needs, this research seeks to develop listening-speaking supplementary materials that are appropriate for promoting both English language proficiency and Pancasila values. This research employs a research and development (R&D) approach in education, utilizing the well-known ADDIE development model. Data collection methods included qualitative interviews and document analysis, as well as quantitative questionnaires. The needs analysis results indicated that students required materials for learning descriptive text in oral form but faced challenges with word pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary expansion, and understanding spoken information. Consequently, students desired materials that improved their vocabulary and pronunciation with an emphasis on multimedia elements. The listening-speaking supplementary materials integrated the values in implicitly and explicitly. These materials consisted of six units following a genre-based approach and used authentic materials with technology integration. The appropriateness of these materials was demonstrated through positive feedback from students and teachers, who found them engaging, well-aligned with learning objectives, relevant, and sufficient in exercises and tasks. Expert judgment rated the materials with a mean score of 3.9, categorized as “very appropriate” within the range of 3.26 < x ≤ 4.00. Furthermore, this research contributed to developing educational resources, and it is expected that students can engage with good value in their future lives.

Abstract

Translanguaging offers potential significance in assisting EFL students’ engagement in L2 communication, making it valuable to investigate whether students’ perception of translanguaging correlates with their willingness to communicate in a second language. This mixed-methods study explores the relationship between students’ perception and L2 willingness to communicate in classroom communicative settings. 65 participants from two universities enrolled in an English education program participated in this study. The quantitative data were collected using 5-Likert scale questionnaires and qualitative data through in-depth interviews with subset participants. The quantitative data, including descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis, were formulated in SPSS 26. Meanwhile, the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings showed that students’ perception of translanguaging correlates significantly and positively to their L2 WTC (r = .587). Based on the qualitative data, key themes related to the significance of translanguaging, such as facilitation of understanding, self-confidence improvement, reduced anxiety, and promotion of a positive classroom environment emerged as factors contributing to the students’ increased L2 WTC. These findings suggest that students’ perception of translanguaging influences their attitudes toward L2 communication, leading to a decreased or increased WTC level. Thus, translanguaging should be encouraged as an alternative strategy in L2 classrooms to enhance communication in EFL settings, particularly by maximizing L2 understanding and fostering an emotionally safe learning environment.

Abstract

The implementation of English as the medium of instruction from Grade 4 in South African schools has necessitated that teachers explore effective strategies to support learners transitioning from mother tongue instruction, particularly through formative assessment practices. It is with this background in mind that this qualitative study aimed at gaining deeper insights into teachers' use of code-switching and translanguaging strategies to support Grade 4 learners' English language development through formative assessment in three Gauteng township schools. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 6 English teachers and classroom observations. The accumulated data were integrated and analysed thematically according to Braun and Clarke's (2006) approach. The findings of the study indicate that teachers' application of code-switching and translanguaging in English lessons, particularly during oral questioning, feedback provision, and vocabulary explanation in formative assessment, contributed significantly to learners' comprehension and engagement in English language learning. However, challenges such as lack of formal training in multilingual assessment practices and pressure to prepare students for English-only summative assessments were also identified. The study concludes that effective formative assessment in Grade 4 English classrooms could be enhanced through the strategic use of learners' full linguistic repertoires and the integration of multilingual practices into English language teaching and assessment policies.

Abstract

Cross-cultural understanding (CCU) is increasingly recognized as a crucial element in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL), as it not only enhances linguistic proficiency but also equips learners with the ability to navigate cultural nuances and social contexts. In response to this need, the current study developed instructional materials that integrate local cultural elements into CCU courses, aiming to improve EFL learners' communicative competences. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study followed three stages: define, design, and develop. The resulting product was a prototype of instructional materials tailored to teach CCU effectively. The materials underwent rigorous quality assessments through expert validation and field testing in English classes. The findings revealed that the instructional materials are valid and appropriate for teaching CCU, demonstrating a significant positive impact on learners’ communicative competences. Specifically, the integration of local cultural contexts fostered a deeper understanding of both target language use and cross-cultural interaction, bridging gaps between learners' cultural frameworks and English-communication contexts. The implication of this study underscores the importance of incorporating local cultural elements in CCU courses, highlighting that such integration not only contextualizes language learning but also enhances learners’ engagement and adaptability in real-world communication. By promoting culturally responsive teaching, these materials provide a model for developing context-sensitive EFL curricula that address global communication demands while preserving local cultural identity.

Abstract

The rise of online platforms like "𝕏" (formerly Twitter) has transformed political discourse, where netizens frequently use expressive speech acts to communicate emotions and opinions. This study examines how expressive speech acts are used in netizen comments responding to President Joe Biden's post about U.S. economic growth, focusing on emotional expressions that reflect public sentiment. Through the application of Searle's theory of speech acts and Austin's felicity conditions, the research analyzes 46 comments using content analysis. The findings show a predominant use of literal and direct speech acts to express negative emotions, particularly dissatisfaction with Biden's economic policies. Additionally, the presence of sarcasm and irony demonstrates the complexity of online discourse, where non-literal speech acts convey more nuanced forms of criticism. These insights emphasize the evolving role of digital communication in political engagement and suggest the need for further research on how speech acts shape public opinion.
