Abstract

The rapid growth of internet usage among adolescents has raised concerns about its psychological and academic impacts. Internet addiction, characterized by excessive and uncontrolled online behavior, is increasingly linked to mental health issues such as anxiety, which may also influence academic performance. Despite growing attention globally, limited research has focused on this issue among high school EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners in Iran. This study investigates the relationships between internet addiction, anxiety, and academic achievement among Iranian male senior high school EFL students. A sample of 70 students was randomly selected from two public high schools. Data were collected using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS, 1971), the Internet Addiction Test (IAT, Young, 1996), and a standardized academic achievement test administered by Iran’s Ministry of Education. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between internet addiction and anxiety, suggesting that higher internet use is associated with elevated anxiety levels. Additionally, both internet addiction and anxiety were negatively correlated with students’ academic achievement scores. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring students’ internet usage and addressing their mental health needs. The study contributes to the existing literature by examining this triadic relationship in a less-explored educational and cultural context.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of exposure to English language (EL)-based games on Bosnian elementary school students' knowledge and understanding of gaming abbreviations. The research indicates that playing games in English generally enhances students' familiarity with gaming abbreviations, particularly in their original English forms. However, students exhibit less consistency in translating and comprehending these terms in Bosnian, suggesting potential areas for additional educational support. Gender dynamics are also explored, revealing that while both boys and girls engage extensively with EL-based games, boys show a slight advantage in recognizing and understanding gaming abbreviations. These findings underscore the effectiveness of EL-based games in certain aspects of language learning while highlighting the need for further research and targeted educational interventions. The study advocates for a balanced approach to evaluating language learning through gaming, considering both the original English forms and their Bosnian translations to better support students' language proficiency in diverse contexts.

Abstract

This study investigated the use of code-switching by an English teacher in an EFL classroom at SMAN 3 Ponorogo. Code-switching is the alternation between two languages in a discourse. In Indonesian EFL classes, teachers use both English and Indonesian to deliver classroom instructions. The aims of the study were to explore the types of code-switching that the teacher used in the classroom and the teacher’s rationales in using each type. The researchers used a case study with a qualitative approach using classroom observation and an interview with the teacher. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of analysis, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Furthermore, the teacher’s code-switching utterances were classified using Poplack’s code-switching framework. The study found that the teacher used three types of code-switching: tag switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching. Intra-sentential switching was the most commonly used type, with more than half of the use, and tag switching was the least used type. The teacher employed code-switching to clarify instructions, introduce new vocabulary, explain complex concepts, enhance communication, and promote classroom engagement. The findings suggest that code-switching is a valuable scaffolding strategy for facilitating comprehension and participation for low-proficiency learners. The study highlights the importance of code-switching in building a meaningful English atmosphere for novice learners by providing them with understanding, gradual immersion, and a stress-free environment.

Abstract

Despite the prominent role of English in the sports industry, few studies have explored the demand for English competence among future sport coaches, especially in the context of an increasingly globalized sporting domain where communication is becoming key in diverse trading environments. However, the students who are studying Sport Coaching Education typically do not have English skills that are specifically focused on real-life coaching situations. This study is developing teaching materials for teaching English language using the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach specifically for the needs of the Sport Coaching Education students. In this study, a Research and Development (R&D) design based on the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model was used through a needs analysis, material development, expert validation, and pilot testing. The needs analysis indicated a considerable gap between students’ current English material and the communicative needs of the sport coaching specialism. The students were mostly interested in sport-specific vocabulary and more speaking practice in coaching contexts. The materials developed involved listening, speaking, reading and writing activities based on authentic coaching situations. Expert reviews scored the materials favorably (4.6/5 score on average) on relevance, pedagogical effectiveness, and feasibility. It concludes that contextual, sport-specific English resources are useful for improving language competence and coaching preparedness. Linking ESP to real-world practice ensures that CTL serves as far more than just an academic pursuit in sport coaching education, connecting them far more directly with the professional world.

Abstract

Corpus stylistics, which involves the analysis of electronic archives of written material, facilitates the understanding of connections between words. This research aims to provide linguistic evidence regarding the genre of Colleen Hoover's popular fiction, It Ends with Us, specifically, to ascertain whether it is a pure romance novel or incorporates aspects of literary realism. A descriptive qualitative approach, grounded in Mahlberg's (2013) corpus stylistics theory, is employed. The primary data for analysis are the four most frequently occurring verbs identified using AntConc. The collocations associated with each verb are subsequently categorized into "attempts to romanticize" or "narrations of reality" to determine the prevailing stylistic strategy. The research demonstrates that the novel utilizes a greater proportion of "realistic" words compared to "romantic" words, thereby indicating its alignment with literary realism. The narrative modifications are intended to heighten the story's engagement, rather than to romanticize domestic abuse or toxic relationships.

Abstract

The increasing integration of digital technology in higher education underscores the importance of speech politeness among Generation Z, particularly in online academic interactions. This study aims to explore the levels and characteristics of speech politeness exhibited by Generation Z students in digital contexts. A descriptive statistical method was used to analyze data collected through a Google Forms survey, involving 424 students from the Faculty of Economics—263 from Management, 145 from Accounting, and 16 from Agribusiness—who were enrolled in an Indonesian language course. The results indicated that 53.13% of students demonstrated awareness of speech politeness in the planning stage, 51.9% during implementation, and 56.9% in evaluation. These findings suggest a relatively balanced application of speech politeness across different stages of digital communication. Qualitative responses further revealed that students view speech politeness as beneficial for enhancing knowledge, skills, and attitudes in alignment with curricular goals. The study concludes that there is a harmonious relationship between theoretical understanding and practical application of speech politeness among Generation Z in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aimed to discuss the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in English Language Teaching (ELT) in higher education based on a systematic review of several relevant articles. The articles analyzed include studies regarding teachers’ knowledge and experiences regarding the use of ICT in English language teaching, as well as the challenges and potential associated with implementing these technologies in the classroom. The findings show that although many teachers, both novice and experienced, show high confidence in using ICT tools, difficulties in pedagogical application and lack of practical training are the main barriers. Some other inhibiting factors are a lack of access to technology, limited infrastructure, and resistance to change among more experienced educators. This article suggests a more holistic approach in preparing educators for ICT integration, including improved professional training focusing on developing pedagogical skills in ICT use and stronger institutional support. Although these challenges are significant, the potential of ICT in improving student engagement and learning outcomes suggests that effective technology integration can significantly impact English language teaching in higher education.

Abstract

Teaching English in Islamic boarding schools or traditional Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia faces significant challenges due to technological developments. In recent years, technology has changed how people learn, communicate, and interact. This study aims to investigate how English teachers teach English in the digital era when Islamic boarding school regulations prohibit students from bringing gadgets. Qualitative study was used in this study by using interview and observations as data collection technique. The findings of this study revealed that the educational pattern at pesantren fulfilled the characteristics of a modern pesantren with formal and informal education system. English teachers do not refuse the existence of technology but do not use it as the primary method of learning in the classroom. The learning method is still based on teacher-centered and lecture-based learning methods. Some challenges in teaching English are traditional learning methods, monotonous classroom atmosphere, lack of teacher competence, and lack of teaching sources. The conclusion emphasizes the need for teacher training, improved teaching methods, and teaching sources.
