Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by vocational EFL (English as A Foreign Language) students during English oral presentations in class. A total of 30 students were selected as the sample through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected based on observation, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the most significant challenge faced by the students in class was anxiety during the question and answer session in the presentation activity. Technical difficulties during presentations were also a recurring problem. In addition, students also considered speaking and pronunciation as the most difficult aspects of their presentations. The results of this study provide knowledge that can also be a reference in overcoming anxiety, technical obstacles, and efforts to improve students' English skills, especially in the aspect of speaking as the main provision in classroom presentations.

Abstract

This research aims at examining the HaiLotim Facebook page as a well-known source of informational media in the East Lombok area, especially in relation to social politics and support for local businesses. Data from 317 Hailotim Facebook page posts from May 2024 to June 2024 were collected and analyzed through the critical discourse analysis perspective of Norman Fairclough, which consists of three dimensions: text analysis, processing analysis, and social analysis. Research findings reveal the dual the role of HaiLotim Facebook page: first, as a discussion forum for local political movements, which is exemplified by posts that facilitate community dialogue regarding regional elections; and second, as a platform for local economic growth through the promotion of local business and tourist attractions. Since the page’s market target is based in East Lombok, the language employed in HaiLotim's posts is characterized by its casual, localized style, enhancing engagement and accessibility among its predominantly East Lombok audience. Nevertheless, the study acknowledges limitations regarding the generalization of the findings to other platforms and timeframe, as well as the need for wider investigation of social networking impacts and regional variations.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of using the English translation of the Quran as an educational medium to enhance vocabulary acquisition among tenth-grade students at Babul Khaer Islamic Boarding School, Bulukumba. By applying a pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, the study aims to explore vocabulary gains facilitated through the contextual guesswork technique. This approach not only aids students in understanding word meanings by referencing both Indonesian and English translations but also supports character education by incorporating moral values in language learning. Results reveal significant improvement, with the average vocabulary score increasing from 49.64 in the pre-test to 70.16 in the post-test. Statistical analysis supports these findings, with a t-test result of 13.31 exceeding the t-table value of 2.074, confirming the alternative hypothesis that Quranic English translation can significantly improve vocabulary. The study suggests that the Quran’s English translation serves as an effective medium for vocabulary acquisition and offers valuable insights for enhancing vocabulary improvement in EFL contexts. These findings contribute to the educational media approach in Islamic boarding school settings and provide a foundation for future research in similar environments

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.

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.
