Abstract

The intention of this study is to conceive teachers’ reflections regarding their experiences of teaching English for Specific Purpose (ESP) at Politeknik Aceh. Their convictions, practices as well as challenges were scrutinized in order to figure out better implementation for ESP classes in the future. Three ESP teachers were interviewed besides observing their classroom and analyzing their syllabus design. They agree that ESP is a compulsory subject in vocational institutions. The students need to prepare themselves for work life ahead, because beside communicating with local people, they surely will interact and communicate with the people from other countries globally. The syllabus was designed by the teachers adapting with the students’ need and industrial growth. They constantly revise and upgrade their syllabus and teaching materials depending on current situation of the students and their work targets. The teachers encountered similar challenge in their experiences of teaching ESP, that they have to deepen their insights regarding the field of the study being taught. Surprisingly, they even exchange knowledge with the students, for example; the teachers learnt about electrical from the students whilst teaching ESP for electrical engineering students. Moreover, the most challenging tendency in teaching ESP at Politeknik Aceh is the requirement of deep understanding of industry-specific terminology and concepts. So, it is essential to regularly update materials to reflect industry advancements, incorporate more authentic and current resources, and provide professional development opportunities for ESP teachers.

Abstract

English teaching has changed from traditional methods such as memorization to communicative approaches such as Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), where many teachers are now adapting technology to CLT. Over the past decade, numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the application of technology in CLT; however, comprehensive research on this topic remains scarce, particularly when considering the scope of the timeframe. To address this gap, the current study systematically reviews the academic literature published on the application of technology in CLT in articles from 2010 to 2025. This study aims to investigate research trends over the past 15 years and identify key findings from the reviewed studies after applying inclusive and exclusive criteria. A total of 40 articles published and indexed in Scopus were included, and this study follows the PRISMA guidelines and thematic content analysis. The authors identified research trends and discussed key findings. In terms of research trends on this topic, the highest number of articles was published in 2024 (n=5). Then, the country contributing the most to this topic was the United Kingdom (n=6). We also found challenges in the implementation of CLT and discussions on the learning media used and the pedagogical approaches employed for teaching English. Based on this review, it is hoped that it will serve as a reference for future research.

Abstract

This study explores gendered communication patterns through the analysis of language features used by male and female characters in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes movie. Employing Jennifer Coates’s (2015) framework, seven language features—minimal responses, hedges, tag questions, questions, commands and directives, swearing and taboo language, and compliments—were examined to identify distinctions in male and female speech. The study adopted a qualitative method with a case study design. A total of 143 male and 85 female utterances were analyzed. Findings indicate that male characters predominantly used questions (52.54%) and commands/directives (17.48%), reflecting a more assertive and directive communication style. In contrast, female characters employed more hedges (25.88%) and compliments (5.88%), suggesting a more cooperative and supportive style of interaction. These findings support Coates’s claim that male speech often emphasizes control and competitiveness, while female language tends to prioritize relational maintenance. This analysis not only illustrates how gendered language reinforces traditional gender ideologies but also demonstrates how dystopian media narratives can mirror broader societal power structures. By adopting a consistent theoretical lens, this research provides analytical rigor and enhances comparability between male and female speech. The study contributes to sociolinguistic scholarship by offering insights into the representation of gender in cinematic discourse and may inform future investigations into language, media, and identity construction.

Abstract

This study explores how trauma and tragic backstories are downplayed by the use of sarcasm through analysis of the lyrics of Freeze Your Brain, written by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy and performed by Ryan McCartan in the Heathers: The Musical Original Broadway Cast recording that was uploaded on June 10th, 2014, a dark comedy that critiques high school hierarchies. Using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) model as the primary framework, this study analyzes how lexical choices, grammatical structures, and social contexts turn traumatic personal experiences into enjoyable humor and irony for both characters and audiences. The critical discourse analysis reveals that sarcasm in the musical number not only masks emotional vulnerability but also frames psychological numbness as an aspirational state of control, emotional regulation, and perceived maturity. Further, the linguistic transformation in the lyrics serves as a defense mechanism for the character and shapes listener interpretations of coping and resilience in the face of adversity. The findings contribute to broader discussions on emotional suppression, consumer-based escapism, performative detachment, and ideological messaging in musical theatre texts.

Abstract

Nowadays, there are a lot of digital platforms that offer interactive spaces for people to interact with each other. These platforms allow people to share information, exchange thoughts and opinions, give feedback, ask questions, or discuss a particular topic. YouTube is one of the most popular platforms that provides a space for people to give comments or responses to their posts. This natural interaction can be examined from a pragmatic perspective, especially in relation to how they express their emotional response in a written form. This research focuses on identifying and analyzing expressive speech acts in the user comments on the “Better Speaking” podcast by BBC Learning English, a globally recognized English learning channel. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method to examine 212 selected user comments from eight podcast episodes. The expressive speech acts were categorized into thanking, praising, complimenting, complaining, and lamenting. The findings show that thanking and praising are the most frequent types of expressive speech acts that indicate the existence of a dominant positive interaction pattern. Moreover, the comments also reveal four main pragmatic functions: affective alignment, relational work, feedback evaluation, and identity projection. These results suggest that user comments not only express their emotion but also contribute to a supportive and meaningful digital learning environment.

Abstract

Needs analysis involves identifying and understanding learners’ necessities, lacks, and wants within a specific context. This study aimed to analyse these aspects among informatics engineering students in learning English. Using a qualitative interview approach, the research was conducted at a private university in Banjarmasin with one English lecturer and three informatics students as research participants. The limited number of participants was intentionally selected to allow for in-depth exploration of perspectives and experiences, which is consistent with the exploratory nature of qualitative needs analysis in ESP contexts. The findings revealed that students’ necessities are linked to academic and professional needs, particularly speaking skills and advanced English proficiency for effective communication. Their lacks included unbalanced teaching of the four language skills, limited evaluation, and varying proficiency levels. The students’ wants showed strong motivation for independent learning through songs, films, and social media, as well as a preference for more engaging and interactive classroom activities. These findings provide important implications for ESP curriculum development by emphasising the need for needs-based syllabus design, balanced skill integration, and the incorporation of discipline-relevant and technology-supported learning activities.

Abstract

The massive growth of technology has transformed the learning environment for young generations. This (new) learning environment offers both benefits and challenges, such as brain rot phenomenon. Brain rot refers to cognitive decline, resulting from excessive screen time and overconsumption of short-duration content. Thus, this study examines whether brain rot affects speaking learning strategies among junior high school students, who are part of Gen Alpha and born as digital natives. A mixed-methods approach was applied, involving 64 students who completed questionnaires, followed by interviews with six participants. The findings indicate that students’ brain rot levels are generally low to moderate, while their speaking learning strategies are at moderate levels, with higher use of metacognitive and socio-affective strategies compared to cognitive strategies. Linear Regression analysis shows that brain rot has a significant and negative effect on speaking learning strategies, explaining 19.6% of the variance. The interviews confirm that excessive screen time leads to cognitive fatigue and cognitive load. These results highlight the need for teachers and parents to monitor students’ digital media use.

Abstract

This present research aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and visual mapping of research trends and directions on second language willingness to communicate (L2 WTC) studies published between 2020 and 2025. Biblioshiny was used to conduct the bibliometric analysis, and VOSviewer for network visualization map. A total of 631 articles were collected from the Scopus database. The findings revealed a steady publication growth each year, with the highest rise in 2025. The three most productive and impactful authors included Lee, J.S., MacIntyre, P.D., and Peng, J-E. The most productive journal is the Language Teaching Research. China became the leading nation in both research production and international research collaboration. Finally, the keyword analysis showed seven clusters, with “WTC” as the largest node. Five emerging topics were identified, including emerging technologies, positive psychology, emotional regulations, intercultural and international orientations, and informal digital learning. Yet, scholarly interest around the foundational elements of L2 WTC, including individual and situational variables, remains relevant. Following the findings, implications for L2 teachers and future researchers are proposed in this study.
