Abstract

English has been taught since elementary school up to the university. The students are taught of language's skills, but most of the students still hard to use English as spoken language especially for students at a former place. This classroom action research implemented the CTL approach to improve the teaching and learning and students' speaking skill in form of transactional and interpersonal speech. The main object of this research is the students of tourism study program of Hamzanwadi University. It was conducted in three cycles, the overview of those cycles can be seen from the following results; 1) the contextual teaching and learning could improve the lecturing process, 2) the students' participation to practice speaking was improved cycle by cycle; 49% was in cycle 1, then improved to 71.44% and 91.4% in cycle II and cycle III, and 3) the students' speaking improvement was also shown from the mean score and the category of students' speaking ability. The mean score in pre-cycle was 33 and then improved to be 41 in cycle I, 52 in cycle II and 75 in cycle III.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the role and effectiveness of collaborative learning in enhancing the English speaking abilities of class X students at MAN 1 Situbondo. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews with English teachers, and the distribution of questionnaires to students. The results of the study indicated that collaborative learning enhanced students' speaking fluency, vocabulary mastery, and self-confidence. Group discussions applied in learning created an environment that supported and encouraged students to be more active in participating in speaking English. Most students responded positively to this method, with the majority feeling more motivated, practicing speaking more often, and experiencing enhancements in pronunciation. Thus, collaborative learning proved effective as a strategy to enhance students' English speaking abilities while preparing them to face the challenges of communication in the global era.

Abstract

Family-based English language learning gained attention as an alternative to formal education, yet limited research explored its practical implementation. Discrepancies existed between theoretical models of language acquisition and how families applied them at home. This study aimed to investigate how interactive learning strategies within a family environment supported English language development. Using a narrative inquiry approach focused on one multilingual family, this research explored daily practices and challenges encountered. Findings revealed that engaging in daily English conversations, utilizing multimedia, fostering self-directed learning, offering emotional support, and promoting a growth mindset significantly enhanced language acquisition. These practices reflected major theories such as Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development, Mayer’s Multimedia Learning Theory, Benson’s Self-Directed Learning Framework, Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, and Dweck’s Growth Mindset Theory. Challenges included limited parental proficiency, time constraints, learner motivation fluctuations, technology access issues, and the need for careful error correction. The study concluded that family involvement, even without formal training, successfully bridged theoretical and practical gaps in language learning. Further research was recommended to examine diverse family settings and develop intervention programs to strengthen family-based learning.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the determinants of culture shock experienced by students participating in the Program Merdeka Mengajar (PMM) at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM). Using Orlay’s (2021) framework on cultural adaptation, the research investigates the challenges faced by 5 PMM students as they navigate their academic and social environments in a new cultural setting. Through in-depth interviews, the study identifies key factors contributing to culture shock, including language barriers, differences in teaching methodologies, and habit. Findings suggest that these factors significantly impact students' academic performance, mental well-being, and overall adjustment to university life. The study highlights the need for targeted support mechanisms, such as cultural orientation programs and peer mentoring, to mitigate the negative effects of culture shock and promote smoother transitions for future PMM participants. This research contributes to the understanding of cross-cultural challenges in higher education and provides insights for improving the PMM experience at UNM.

Abstract

This research examines the difficulties and learning preferences of English Education students at STAIN Majene in mastering grammar. Despite its significance for effective communication, Indonesian students face difficulties due to differences between Indonesian and English structures. Using a mixed-method approach, the research includes semi-structured interviews with 15 students from the 2021-2023 cohorts and a questionnaire distributed to all 70 students. Findings indicate that students struggle with environmental factors (lack of practice, limited class time), psychological factors (fear of judgment, varied perceptions of grammar's importance), and linguistic factors (material complexity, tense diversity). Students preferred active learning strategies, such as interactive videos and practical exercises. This highlights the need for educators to adapt teaching methods to address these difficulties and accommodate diverse learning preferences. Implementing engaging instructional strategies can enhance student comprehension and retention of grammar, offering valuable insights for improving English education programs and guiding future research.

Abstract

This research analyzes the ESP learning needs of fashion design students at SMKN 1 Bone, focusing on how English learning can be aligned with the practical and professional demands of the fashion field. This study aims to identify how students perceive their English language needs, their current competencies and difficulties, as well as their preferences for English topics, materials, and learning methods relevant to the fashion field. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through questionnaires administered to 32 students and interviews with 8 purposively selected participants. The needs analysis framework follows Hutchinson and Waters’ needs analysis, covering necessities, lacks, and wants. The results demonstrate that students view English as important for continuing their education, developing careers, and promoting fashion products internationally. However, many students still struggle with grammar, pronunciation, and speaking, and have limited opportunities to practice English outside the classroom. Vocabulary, writing, and reading are among the most needed language components, particularly for describing products and engaging with global fashion trends. Students also expressed a strong preference for materials that are directly related to fashion and for interactive learning methods such as group work and class discussions. These findings highlight the need to develop more relevant ESP instruction that reflects the realities and expectations of the fashion design field. Teachers are encouraged to adjust lesson plans to better support students’ language development for both academic and professional purposes.
