Abstract

This study looks into how watching English-language movies might influence the motivation of EFL students at IAIN Palangka Raya. Using a comparative cross-sectional design, the study involved 30 participants divided into two groups, those who frequently watch English-language movies and those who do not. Data were collected Using surveys and motivation scales. The results revealed a strong positive correlation between regular movie-watching and increased motivation, confidence, and cultural understanding. Key findings include significant differences in motivation levels, with frequent movie-watchers showing higher integrative and instrumental motivation. However, the impact on grammar and spontaneous speaking was less pronounced. The study concludes that English language films serve as an effective tool to boost learner motivation and engagement, emphasizing their potential role in modern language pedagogy. Limitations such as self-report bias and sample size are acknowledged, suggesting areas for future research.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary size among EFL students, focusing on the impact of reading English academic articles. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational descriptive design, this research involved EFL students at IAIN Palangka Raya. Participants completed two instruments: Schmitt’s (2000) Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire (VLSQ) to identify the strategies students use, and Beglar and Nation’s (2013) Vocabulary Size Test (VST) to measure vocabulary knowledge. The results indicate that reading English academic articles positively influences vocabulary development, particularly in acquiring high and medium-frequency words with an average of 78/100. Social Strategy emerged as the most widely used approach, followed by Determination and Metacognitive Strategies. These strategies help students understand new vocabulary through discussions with peers or lecturers, analyzing context, and utilizing resources such as dictionaries or glossaries. The correlation analysis between Vocabulary Learning Strategies and Vocabulary Size (r = 0.336) shows a moderate positive relationship, suggesting that these strategies play a role in enhancing vocabulary size. However, the findings also imply that other factors may contribute to vocabulary acquisition. Overall, this study highlights the importance of frequent reading and targeted vocabulary learning strategies for improving EFL students' vocabulary knowledge, providing valuable insights for more effective language instruction.

Abstract

This research investigates the role of memes as a communication tool in Indonesia, particularly focusing on their ability to convey social and political criticism through humor. Memes have emerged as a significant medium for expressing public opinion and fostering discourse on national issues. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the study analyzes 15 memes collected from social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. The analysis employs two pragmatic theories: Implicature Theory and Speech Act Theory, to explore the underlying meanings and social implications of these memes. Findings reveal that memes not only entertain but also engage audiences in critical discussions about societal challenges, reflecting a growing trend of using humor as a means of social commentary. This study contributes to the understanding of meme dynamics in non-Western cultures and highlights their potential in shaping public discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of family support on students' motivation and academic achievement in learning English. Using a quantitative correlational approach, data were collected from 27 seventh-grade students at SMPN 14 Medan through questionnaires measuring family support, learning motivation, and students' English scores. The results indicate a strong positive correlation (r = 0.697) between family support and students' English proficiency, highlighting emotional support as the most influential factor in fostering motivation. Instrumental and financial support also contributes to academic success, while excessive parental pressure may lead to stress and reduced engagement. These findings suggest that balanced family involvement is crucial in enhancing students' language learning experiences. Schools and policymakers should encourage parental engagement while also providing alternative support systems for students with limited family assistance to create a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of a Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) English training program for medical staff at RS Haji Medan, a government-owned hospital in North Sumatra, Indonesia, aiming for Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. Despite having strong infrastructure, the hospital faces challenges in English communication among staff, which is critical for serving international patients. The training program involved 15 doctors, nurses, and administrative staff, focusing on practical communication in clinical settings through simulations, problem-solving, and medical dialogues. At the end of the program, a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was administered to obtain students’ views on the task-based instruction. The survey data revealed positive responses regarding material relevance, teaching methods, instructor performance, and the usefulness of learning resources. Most participants reported improved English skills and greater confidence in medical communication. The findings highlight TBLT's effectiveness in meeting specific workplace needs and support its broader use in healthcare language training. This study contributes to the growing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) field in Indonesian medical contexts.

Abstract

Pragmatics is the study of how we make sense of what others say when we talk. Meaning links our words with our body language. It can change depending on the circumstance, the relationship between the individuals, and other social variables. Its quick growth has made English a worldwide language that brings people together. English is a language that many people from different places and cultures can speak. In everyday life, people use English in many different situations and talk in many different ways. Speakers need to know about different aspects of pragmatics to avoid misunderstandings when they talk and listen. Using English in fun and interesting ways can help everyone, especially those learning it as a second language, get better at talking and writing. Thomas describes "down to soil competence" as the ability to think carefully about what words mean.. It seems like you just shared a number (524) without any extra information or instructions. Please show me the text you want me to make easier to understand. Being good at business means you can talk clearly and choose the right words for different people and situations. The main goal for anyone teaching English to people who don’t speak it as their first language is to help them get better at it, which can be difficult.
