Abstract

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching and learning, teachers frequently design their own tests to measure students’ skills, monitor progress, and evaluate instructional effectiveness. However, most previous research on teacher-made tests in EFL writing has centered on essay types such as descriptive, argumentative, narrative, expository, and comparison-contrast, leaving opinion paragraphs relatively underexplored. Addressing this gap, the present study describes the systematic development and validation of a teacher-made test specifically designed to assess opinion paragraphs. Conducted in a paragraph writing course at a private university in East Java, the study adopts a genre-based approach and draws on the design-based research (DBR) framework proposed by Cavallaro and  Sembiante (2021). The instrument consists of two components: a writing prompt and an analytic scoring rubric. Its quality was ensured through a comprehensive validation process, including content and face validity (involving two writing instructors and eight students) and inter-rater reliability testing by two trained raters. The resulting test provides a cohesive, valid, and reliable formative assessment tool for evaluating EFL learners’ opinion paragraph writing. The inter-rater reliability coefficient (r = 0.85) indicates a strong positive correlation, supporting the consistency and reliability of the scoring rubric. This study not only contributes to the enhancement of teachers’ assessment literacy but also offers a practical model for developing and validating classroom-based writing assessments in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This research aims to classify the interpersonal meaning in “The Pursuit of Happyness” movie scene, job interview scene. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative method to explore the interpersonal meaning in the language used during a job interview scene from the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness." Utilizing Halliday's framework for functional linguistics, the researchers analyzed 82 clauses from the scene, focusing on mood structures, speech functions, and the use of modality. The analysis revealed that statements were the predominant speech function, consistent with the informative nature of job interviews. The study identified various linguistic elements, such as subjects, finites, predicators, complements, and adjuncts, which are crucial in understanding the characters' use of language to convey their identities, intentions, and social dynamics. The findings contribute to the cross-disciplinary understanding of linguistics, film studies, and communication, offering insights into effective communication strategies in professional settings. The research provides a detailed examination of how language is used to negotiate relationships, express personal attitudes, and enact social roles within the high-stakes communicative situation depicted in the film.

Abstract

This research analyzes the perception and impact of using podcasts as a medium for learning Indonesian based on questionnaire data from 187 respondents at four Islamic universities in Riau. The research uses a quantitative descriptive method with a survey approach using purposive sampling techniques. The research results show a very high level of podcast adoption (98.4%) with a positive impact, especially on increasing listening ability (85%), vocabulary mastery (78%), and speaking motivation (91.7%). However, a gap was found between individual interest and institutional support, with 65% of institutions not yet having a podcast- specific policy. Correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between listening frequency and increased language skills (45%), podcast language quality and speaking confidence (60%), and institutional support and interest in podcast production (3x higher). This research recommends the integration of podcasts in the curriculum, standardization of language quality, and strengthening institutional support to optimize the potential of podcasts in language learning.
