Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a common barrier that students face in language learning, particularly in situations requiring verbal communication. This study investigates the factors, causes, and strategies to overcome speaking anxiety among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Luwu Utara. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. Findings revealed three primary forms of speaking anxiety: communication anxiety, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. Key causes included limited vocabulary, fear of mistakes, and low self-confidence. To address these issues, students adopted strategies such as preparation, positive thinking, and relaxation techniques. This research highlights the urgency of fostering a supportive classroom environment that reduces anxiety and promotes active participation, offering valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance student engagement and communication skills. By identifying both the root causes and coping strategies, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of how to effectively support students facing speaking anxiety.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of digital modules as a pedagogical tool in teaching argumentative essay writing to university students, using a qualitative research approach. The research aims to examine how digital learning materials enhance students’ understanding of argumentative structures, improve writing skills, and support autonomous learning. This study employed a qualitative research methodology to explore how digital modules are used in teaching argumentative essay writing to university students. A qualitative approach was deemed appropriate for capturing the lived experiences, perceptions, and challenges encountered by both students and instructors in an authentic educational setting. Data were gathered through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with students and instructors, and analysis of students' written work. The findings suggest that digital modules provide structured and accessible content that aids students in organizing their ideas, developing critical arguments, and refining their writing techniques. Additionally, the interactive nature of digital modules fosters student engagement and motivation. Despite some challenges related to technical access and digital literacy, the overall impact of using digital modules in writing instruction is perceived as positive. In conclusion, digital modules can serve as effective scaffolding mechanisms that guide students through the complexities of argumentative writing. When designed with clear instructional sequences, examples, and interactive components, digital modules help students understand essay structure, develop coherent arguments, and engage in independent revision.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Competency-Based Education (CBE) for teaching the parts of speech to freshman EFL students in higher education. Addressing the urgent need for more effective grammar instruction, the research introduces a performance-based, learner-centered approach that links grammatical forms to authentic communication tasks. By integrating CBE principles—measurable outcomes, continuous assessment, and contextualized practice—the instruction moves beyond memorization toward demonstrable linguistic competence. Classroom observations, student outputs, and feedback reveal that CBE significantly increases learner engagement, autonomy, and mastery of basic grammatical categories. The findings highlight the novelty of applying CBE to foundational grammar, demonstrating its potential to strengthen students’ accuracy and communicative competence early in their academic journey. The study contributes a practical framework for first-year EFL instruction, emphasizing that mastery of the parts of speech is essential for students’ progression into advanced grammar and speaking performance in subsequent semesters.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of integrating Deep Learning and Hypnoteaching in improving the oral communication skills of dental nursing students at Poltekkes Kemenkes Makassar. The significance of this research is based on the importance of oral communication competence in health education, while many students experience anxiety and low self-confidence, especially in the context of multicultural interaction. The novelty of this research lies in the implementation of a holistic learning approach that combines technology-based Deep Learning features with the psychological technique of Hypnoteaching to simultaneously address cognitive and emotional aspects of communication. The method used is a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest pre-experimental design involving 40 Dental Nursing students of Class 2A Diploma IV in the 2025 Academic Year, during six intervention sessions with an assessment of oral communication skills using a structured performance rubric. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ oral communication performance, with the mean score increasing from 15.9 in the pretest to 22.2 in the posttest, representing a 39.6% improvement, particularly in self-confidence, pronunciation clarity, and response accuracy. Qualitative feedback further indicated reduced anxiety, increased motivation, and improved focus during speaking tasks. The results of research contribute to providing an innovative learning model based on the integration of technology and an effective psychological approach, and concludes that the application of Deep Learning and Hypnoteaching is proven to be able to improve the quality of oral communication of dental nursing students.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum promotes a deep learning paradigm through the integration of joyful, mindful, and meaningful learning. However, classroom practices in Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) frequently prioritize enjoyment while neglecting cognitive depth and reflective awareness, creating a critical gap between policy expectations and pedagogical implementation. This study aims to examine the challenges faced by English teachers in integrating joyful, mindful, and meaningful learning within English language instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this study was conducted at SDN 078010 Banuasibohou Onozikho. The participants comprised one English teacher and sixteen fifth-grade elementary school students. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that joyful learning was the most consistently implemented dimension, as reflected in high student enthusiasm, active participation, and a positive classroom atmosphere. In contrast, mindful and meaningful learning were insufficiently developed. Students tended to rely on rote repetition with limited conceptual understanding or transfer of knowledge, while teachers encountered persistent difficulties in maintaining students’ focus and self-regulation. These challenges were further intensified by limited instructional resources, restricted instructional time, and uneven student readiness. This study contributes novel empirical evidence from a rural primary school context, highlighting the imbalance in the implementation of deep learning dimensions under the Merdeka Curriculum. The findings underscore the urgency of providing systematic pedagogical support, adequate learning materials, and continuous professional development to enable teachers to integrate joyful, mindful, and meaningful learning more effectively in English language teaching

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of video dubbing projects in improving vocational students’ English verb vocabulary. Addressing the persistent challenge of limited contextual vocabulary acquisition, this research introduces dubbing as an interactive, multimodal learning strategy. A pre-experimental design was employed with 37 eleventh-grade students at SMAK Makassar using total sampling. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test measures. Results show a substantial improvement in students’ verb vocabulary, with mean scores increasing from 42.97 to 78.37. Statistical analysis indicates significance (p = 0.01 < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the intervention. The novelty of this study lies in integrating audiovisual translation tasks to promote active vocabulary use in context. This research contributes empirical evidence supporting video dubbing as an engaging pedagogical tool that enhances comprehension, retention, and practical usage of verbs in vocational English learning environments.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency is a crucial productive competence for students of English Language Education; however, first-year learners often experience difficulties in articulating opinions orally due to limited opportunities for autonomous practice and high levels of speaking anxiety. Although previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of self-directed dialogue in enhancing speaking skills, research specifically addressing freshman learners during their critical transition period remains limited, particularly in EFL contexts with minimal out-of-class English exposure. This study aims to investigate whether and how the use of self-directed dialogue influences freshman English learners’ speaking performance in terms of fluency and accuracy. Adopting a qualitative case study design, this research involved fifteen first-semester students enrolled in the English Education Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through participatory observation and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive framework. The findings indicate that self-directed dialogue contributes to improvements in speaking fluency, as reflected in reduced pauses, increased spontaneity, and clearer sentence structuring, as well as in speaking accuracy, including improved vocabulary use, sentence formation, and pronunciation. In addition, the practice fosters learner autonomy and self-confidence, supporting students’ adjustment during the transition to higher education. These findings highlight the role of self-directed dialogue as a pedagogical bridge that integrates linguistic development and learner adjustment, offering a contextually relevant contribution to EFL pedagogy. In conclusion, self-directed dialogue serves as an effective complementary strategy to support freshman learners’ speaking development, particularly in facilitating their transition toward more autonomous learning.

Abstract

Children of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia often face limited access to formal education due to legal and social constraints. This condition highlights the importance of non-formal education supported by young volunteers. This study explores the experiences of Indonesian young volunteers in teaching English vocabulary to immigrant children at Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL) within a temporary learning environment. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through semi-structured interviews with four volunteers aged 16–21 years. The data were analyzed thematically to identify volunteers’ motivations, teaching strategies, and challenges. The findings indicate that volunteers were motivated by social contribution and personal development. Game-based activities, storytelling, and simple rewards effectively increased children’s participation and engagement. However, volunteers encountered challenges related to limited facilities, physical fatigue, and classroom management. Overall, the involvement of young volunteers had a positive impact on the learning process of immigrant children and contributed to the volunteers’ social and emotional development.
