Abstract

This study investigates speaking anxiety among second-year EFL students in online learning contexts by analyzing four main dimensions: their emotional responses, the factors that provoke anxiety, its impact on speaking performance, and the strategies they use to manage it. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study gathers data through interviews with fifteen students who have previously engaged in online English-speaking activities. The results show that the experience of speaking anxiety differs across individuals. While some students feel more comfortable in virtual classes because the lack of direct eye contact helps reduce pressure, others report heightened anxiety due to insufficient preparation, poor internet connectivity, limited vocabulary, or fear of errors and negative judgment. These influences shape students’ fluency and concentration during speaking tasks. To deal with anxiety, students employ various strategies, such as preparing their material beforehand, calming themselves before speaking, using humour to ease tension, or utilizing supporting tools like digital prompters. The lecturer’s behaviour also plays a crucial role, as supportive and expressive instructors tend to create a more relaxed atmosphere, whereas less engaging teaching styles can intensify stress. Online learning environments may either lessen or heighten anxiety depending on classroom management and learners’ readiness. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to foster a supportive and comfortable learning space to enhance students’ confidence in speaking.

Abstract

Existing studies on AI literacy have largely focused on students, leaving EFL teacher preparedness underexplored. This study aims to explore the level, determinants, barriers, and recommended solutions regarding AI literacy and EFL teachers’ readiness. Using the SLR method with PRISMA guidelines and Lame’s (2019) framework, this synthesized six empirical articles published between 2022 and 2025 from the Google Scholar database. The findings report that AI literacy and EFL teachers’ readiness are classified at a moderate level. The majority of determinants include internal and external factors. Next, this study identified significant barriers such as limited infrastructure, lack of professional development training, ethical concerns, and AI anxiety. To address these challenges, recommended strategies include continuous professional development based on the AI-TPACK framework, the formulation of clear institutional ethics policies, and the adoption of peer mentoring models. Ultimately, there is a strong positive correlation between AI literacy and teacher preparedness. This study provides a foundational framework to assist educational institutions in designing future-ready professional competency standards for EFL educators.

Abstract

In communication, speaking acts as a productive skill that allows a person to convey ideas and meanings through voice articulation. In the context of English learning, it is important to find method/approach/technique that can stimulate students' interest in practicing speaking skills. Script from a movie offers advantages in improving speaking skills as they are able to capture students' attention and stimulate their curiosity. The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of employing movie scripts in the classroom to enhance students' speaking abilities. Fifty-eight English department students from a State Islamic University in Aceh participated in the study. They were divided into two groups: control (NUMS-None of Using Movie Script) and experimental (UMS-Using Movie Script). Prior to and subsequent to the treatment, they were screened. The students in the experimental group were assigned a task to create a video recording in groups of five characters from a movie at the conclusion of each meeting. They were also provided with a movie script and interactive instruction by the teachers. The results of the study suggest that there was a substantial difference between the pre-test and post-test. The mean difference of both post-tests was 65.9310 for the experimental group and 55.5862 for the control group. As the result, students' speaking ability improved after they learned how to use movie scripts properly, which enabled them to gain confidence, overcome the challenge of memorizing the script, easily organize ideas, and enrich their vocabulary stock. Accordingly, the mean score of the pre-test increased more than that of the post-test.

Abstract

Speaking assessment is essential for evaluating EFL learners’ communicative competence, yet it remains challenging due to issues of validity, reliability, and authenticity. This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of empirical research on speaking assessment practices in EFL contexts from 2015 to 2025, using the SALSA framework for methodological rigor. Fourteen studies were analysed thematically. The findings show that performance-based and technology-integrated assessments are the most dominant approaches, while rater bias, limited assessment literacy, and learner anxiety remain key challenges. The review highlights the importance of balancing fairness, practicality, and authenticity in evaluating speaking performance. It also emphasizes the potential of formative and technology-supported assessments to enhance feedback and learner engagement. The results also provide valuable insights for EFL teachers and policymakers in developing more effective and equitable speaking assessment practices. Pedagogically, the review underscores the need to strengthen teachers’ assessment literacy so that they can design and apply rubrics, provide formative feedback, and interpret speaking scores accurately. Theoretically, this study contributes to the understanding of how various assessment practices interact within the broader EFL teaching-learning process. Future studies are encouraged to explore longitudinal evidence of how integrated assessment frameworks influence EFL learners sustained speaking improvement, motivation, and classroom participation.

Abstract

The present study examined the test anxiety of TOEFL among non-English major college students who took the test for the first time. The aim is to explore emotional responses, cognitive problems, and motivational-behavioural implications associated with TOEFL anxiety. A descriptive qualitative study was adopted and six first-time TOEFL test takers were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using descriptive thematic analysis to identify common themes across participants’ experiences. The results of the study suggest that students showed less anticipatory fear at the start but experienced more emotional pain during the test, especially during the Listening segment. The anxiety experienced was in the form of fear of failing, difficulty concentrating and lack of self-confidence, in accordance with theories of language anxiety that underline the effect of assessment pressure and perceived language proficiency. Cognitive obstacles included a limited vocabulary, problems with auditory information processing and poor strategy use which led to cognitive overload and reduced efficiency in performance. There were cognitive distortions among participants such as an overestimation of the task difficulty and underestimation of their talents, contributing to increased anxiety during test performance. TOEFL anxiety had also positive motivating effects, students reported an increased motivation to learn, improved study habits, and greater engagement in practicing English. Methods of coping included self-encouragement, support from friends and parents and constant practice, which eased anxiety and increased resilience. The statistics imply that TOEFL anxiety is a multidimensional entity consisting of emotional, cognitive and behavioural components which interact dynamically during test performance. The results highlight the significance of structured TOEFL preparation programs that integrate language skill building with anxiety reduction approaches to improve student readiness and performance on crucial English proficiency tests.

Abstract

The increasing use of sarcasm and humour in social media discourse has transformed online comment sections into significant spaces for social criticism and public engagement. The present study investigates the use of sarcasm and humour by Generation Z (Gen Z) netizens on TikTok from a pragma-semantic perspective, focusing on their responses to viral issues during 2025–2026. It examines how sarcastic and humorous expressions function not only as forms of entertainment but also as vehicles for criticism, resistance, and evaluation in contemporary digital communication. Employing a qualitative content analysis to examine 20 TikTok comments selected from five viral topics. The analysis was guided by Austin’s (1962) dan Searle’s (1969) Speech-Act theory and a pragma-semantic framework, which integrates semantic meaning with contextual interpretation to uncover the pragmatic functions of sarcasms ang humour. The findings reveal a functional shift in online language use, in which TikTok comments serve not merely locutionary purposes of information sharing but also illocutionary functions of criticism, satire, and social resistance. Gen Z users frequently employ indirect speech, absurd humour, irony, wordplay, and (clumsy) metaphors to express scepticism toward public figures, institutions, and policies. Furthermore, conventional expressions such as “thank you” undergo semantic-pragmatic shifts, functioning sarcastically in specific contexts. The findings demonstrate that humour and sarcasm have become strategic communicative resources through which Gen Z articulates social criticism, negotiates public issues, and actively participate in contemporary digital discourse.

Abstract

Employing meaningful types of feedback has been a customary pedagogical practice in modern EFL writing teaching and learning enterprises. With the help of constructive feedback, EFL learners are believed to be motivated to proceed into various challenging writing learning enterprises due to the profound realization of their specific writing strengths and weaknesses. Amongst these rewarding feedback models is WCF. Former educational researchers postulated that WCF could potentially promote more positive, conducive, and convivial writing learning climates to heterogeneous EFL learners due to its constructiveness and comprehensibility. The researchers initiated this small-scale library study to investigate the effects of WCF on the writing proficiency of EFL learners. To do so, the researchers capitalized on a thematic analysis method in reviewing 30 WCF studies to address more dependable, understandable, and employable findings to the designated research stakeholders. The thematically-subsumed research results implied that WCF helped EFL learners to improve their text quality, accuracy, and fluency. Through all these means, EFL learners are more likely to produce better-quality writing products in which they have been more cognizant decent writing models worth replicating during their idea generation process. These results indicated that WCF is beneficial for enhancing EFL learners’ writing proficiency as they have been more aware of the technical and acceptable aspects indispensable to be integrated in their designated writing compositions.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with gamified learning platforms demonstrates strong potential to enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes in English language education. This study aims to develop and evaluate AI-supported gamified assessments focusing on students’ mastery of English verb tenses, including Simple Present, Simple Past, and Simple Future. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The study was conducted at Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis Asia Malang involving undergraduate EFL students. The learning tool was developed through the Wayground (Quizizz) platform and supported by AI features such as adaptive feedback, randomized questions, and automated performance monitoring. Validation was carried out by media and subject-matter experts using Likert-scale questionnaires to ensure pedagogical and technical quality. The implementation results showed that 87% of students achieved the expected learning outcomes. These outcomes included the ability to accurately identify, analyse, and apply English tenses in various grammatical and communicative contexts. In addition, students demonstrated increased participation, greater learning motivation, and improved confidence when completing grammar-related tasks. The findings indicate that AI-enhanced gamified assessments effectively support grammar instruction by promoting learner autonomy, improving comprehension, and creating a more engaging learning environment. Therefore, the integration of AI-powered gamified assessments can serve as an innovative and effective approach to enhancing English grammar learning in higher education EFL contexts.

Abstract

Media discourses in the US-Israel-Iran war serve not only as information dissemination but also as strategic tools of political economy. Thus, this study investigates the competing media discourses surrounding the 2026 US-Israel-Iran war, through the combined framework of CDA and the political economy of communication (PEC). Using a comparative corpus-based approach, the paper analyzes news reports and opinion articles published by Tehran Times and CNN between 28 February and 8 April 2026. The corpus consists of 301 articles from Tehran Times with 192205 tokens and 143 articles from CNN with 221754 tokens. The findings reveal that CNN primarily framed the conflict through security-centered and strategic narratives aligned with Western geopolitical interests, while Tehran Times constructed counter-hegemonic discourses emphasizing resistance, sovereignty, and anti-imperialist ideology. Through CDA model, the study demonstrates how linguistic choices and discursive practices reproduced broader social structures and power relations. Simultaneously, the PEC framework highlights the influence of ownership, ideology, and geopolitical alliances in shaping war reporting. However, to address the limitations of this study, future research can include multilingual, multimodal, and audience-centered analyses. Ultimately, the study argues that contemporary media discourse functions as a site of ideological struggle where global powers compete to define legitimacy, morality, and political reality in international conflicts.

Abstract

Nowadays, video games increasingly rely on detailed stories and rich cultural atmosphere, making translation is indeed important to preserve a sense of immersion across languages. Side quests (tasks or missions in a video game) constitute significant part of open-world Role-Playing Games (RPGs), games set in imaginary worlds where players control individual characters as their primary means of engagement, with those characters growing and developing through the choices the players make. In this paper, the authors examine the application of ludification-based translation methods, approaches aimed at preserving playfulness and player engagement, to the localization of side quests in Genshin Impact. Our goal was to observe how these approaches make the Indonesian version as playful, immersive, and culturally relatable as the original. We have used a subset of English and Indonesian quest dialogues and qualitatively analyzed them to identify the primary types of ludification and their actions. We have discovered that referencing and para-localization are frequently used by translators to engage players and retain the emotional impact of the original text. In general, the paper demonstrates that ludification may overlook the linguistic fidelity with player experience in game translation, and indicates that future research should focus on how it can preserve narrative integration and culture-specific resonance.
