Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of using the Episoden application to enhance English speaking skills at MA Manba’ul Bayan. Speaking is often considered the most challenging skill for EFL learners due to limited opportunities for authentic practice, lack of confidence, and vocabulary constraints. To address this, Episoden, a mobile-based platform that enables real-time video conversations with international speakers, was introduced as a supplementary learning tool. The research employed a qualitative descriptive design, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews, and field notes involving eleventh-grade students. Findings revealed that students initially experienced anxiety and hesitation when using the application, but gradually developed greater confidence, fluency, and motivation after repeated practice. The application provided authentic communicative experiences, supported intercultural interaction, and allowed learners to practice beyond the classroom at their own pace. Despite technical challenges such as unstable internet connections and difficulties understanding accents, students expressed positive attitudes toward Episoden and considered it an effective tool for improving their speaking skills. Overall, this study highlights the potential of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications like Episoden in fostering more meaningful and engaging speaking practice for EFL learners.

Abstract

This study discusses the translation analysis of exclamatory sentences said by the main character, Belly Conklin, in the novel We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han from English to Indonesian. This study aims to analyze and identify the expressions of emotion in exclamatory sentences based on Charles Darwin's theory (1872) of expressions of emotion and to analyze the cultural meaning and pragmatic meaning in the translation of exclamatory sentences based on Yule's theory (1996) of pragmatics. This study uses qualitative methods. The findings show that most of the exclamatory sentences said by the main character express the emotion of joy (54.55%), followed by anger (36.36%) and sadness (9.09%), with no emotion of fear or disgust found. In addition, most of the exclamatory sentences contain both cultural meaning and pragmatic meaning (54.55%), while the rest only contain pragmatic meaning (45.45%), and no sentences containing only cultural meaning were found. The implication of this study emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of the story, culture, and pragmatic aspects in the translation process, especially in literary works. Expressions of emotion can change in intensity in translation, and failure to understand the context can lead to errors in capturing the characters' intentions. Therefore, a thorough understanding of cultural context and pragmatics is necessary to produce accurate and meaningful translation. This study is also relevant in the translation of movie dialogues and other literary texts.

Abstract

With the growing integration of digital tools in education, there is a need to understand how the medium of assignment delivery influences students’ writing development. The research involved two groups of students who were assigned writing tasks using paper and digital platforms. Writing samples were evaluated based on coherence, grammar, vocabulary usage, and organization. Results indicated that digital-based assignments demonstrated significantly greater improvement in students' writing skills, particularly in vocabulary usage, organization, and revision efficiency. The average post-test scores of Digital Group (23–24 out of 25) were higher than the Paper-based group (22–23 out of 25), with an effect size ranging from Cohen’s d = 1.100 to 1.108, indicating a large educational impact. In the Descriptive Writing section, the results indicate that the mean and standard deviation for the paper-based group are 18.09 (SD = 1.446) for the pre-test and 21.18 (SD = 1.079) for the post-test. In contrast, the digital-based group shows a mean of 16.73 (SD = 1.272) for the pre-test and 22.64 (SD = 1.120) for the post-test. In the Argumentative Writing section, the results reveal that the mean and standard deviation for the paper-based group are 17.09 (SD = 1.446) for the pre-test and 22.07 (SD = 1.536) for the post-test, whereas the digital-based group has a mean of 19.00 (SD = 1.539) for the pre-test and 23.85 (SD = 1.453) for the post-test. Based on these results, it is evident that the most significant improvements were observed in the digital-based group, which showed an increase of 5.91 points in Descriptive Writing and 4.85 points in Argumentative Writing assignments. However, paper-based tasks were more effective in promoting deeper planning and reducing distractions. The study concludes that a blended approach may offer the most balanced benefit in developing students’ writing competencies.

Abstract

Academic writing requires clarity, precision, and objectivity, which can be achieved through formal language. However, students often apply informal language in their actual practices. This descriptive qualitative research analyzed the dominant type of language features utilized by 23 fourth-semester students. It also analyzed the rhetorical purposes for which they utilized them. Additionally, this study explored students’ awareness of using formal language features and avoiding informal ones in their academic writing. Data were collected from argumentative essay assignments and a questionnaire. The findings indicate the predominantly utilized formal language features in their essays. These included precise wording (with lexical density greater than 61%), passive voice, and hedging. The informal language features predominantly applied were colloquial expressions, followed by two-word verbs, idiomatic expressions, and contractions. This study contributes to the existing literature on academic writing. It also provides information to improve academic writing courses and guides students toward more formal academic writing.

Abstract

This conceptual study explores how theatre can enhance English vocabulary acquisition in second and foreign language contexts. While vocabulary is widely recognized as a foundational component of language proficiency, traditional instruction often overlooks the affective and embodied dimensions of learning. Grounded in Kolb`s Experiential Learning Theory and Krashen`s Second Language Acquisition Theory, the study examines how theatrical practices such as role-play, dramatization, and improvisation can foster emotionally engaging and socially interactive learning environments that promote meaningful vocabulary learning. Using a library-based methodology, the research analyzes literature published between 2015 and 2025. Findings show that theatre creates an emotionally supportive environment, facilitates embodied vocabulary learning and enhances learners’ ability to acquire vocabulary in contextualized ways. The study concludes that although there are challenges in the implementation, theatre can be a transformative tool for deepening learners` vocabulary knowledge and communicative competence when systematically integrated into English language education.

Abstract

This study examines junior high school students’ motivation in developing reading habits and identifies the supporting and hindering factors. A mixed-method design was applied, involving questionnaires completed by 64 students at SMPN 2 Sikur, as well as interviews and classroom observations. Findings revealed that most students demonstrated moderate (39.06%) to high (32.81%) levels of reading motivation, with an overall average of 3.15. Intrinsic factors, such as curiosity, enjoyment, and the desire for knowledge, emerged as the strongest drivers, while extrinsic factors, including encouragement from teachers and parents, played a role but inconsistently. Major obstacles included boredom, limited time, and difficulties in understanding texts, particularly in foreign languages. The school environment, such as poorly maintained libraries and the lack of literacy activities, was also found to be unsupportive. These results indicate that intrinsic motivation is crucial for fostering reading habits, yet it must be reinforced by external support and a conducive learning atmosphere. The study suggests revitalizing school literacy programs

Abstract

This study investigates the translation of exclamatory sentences spoken by the main character, Belly Conklin, in Jenny Han’s We’ll Always Have Summer, from English into Indonesian. Recognizing the pivotal role of exclamations in conveying emotions, cultural values, and pragmatic functions in literary works, this research addresses the gap in understanding how these elements are preserved during translation. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology, the analysis focuses on eleven exclamatory sentences, examining their emotional expressions based on Darwin’s theory (1872) and their cultural and pragmatic meanings through Yule’s pragmatics framework (1996). The findings reveal that most exclamations express joy, followed by anger and sadness, with many containing both cultural and pragmatic meanings. The study underscores the importance of contextual and cultural awareness in translation to accurately convey emotional and social nuances, providing valuable insights for translators and scholars in intercultural literary translation.
