Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the "French School TV" YouTube channel in enhancing the oral production skills of secondary school students learning French at MAS YASPI Medan. Employing a pre-experimental design, 26 students from class X Agama were subjected to a pre-test to assess their initial proficiency in introducing themselves in French. The intervention involved the use of YouTube videos from the "French School TV" channel over two sessions, focusing on self-introduction skills. A post-test was conducted to evaluate the improvement in students' oral production skills. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the students' performance, with the average score rising from 26.92 in the pre-test to 84.58 in the post-test. Statistical analyses, including the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and paired sample t-test, confirmed the normal distribution of data and the significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p-value = 0.000). The N-Gain analysis further validated the intervention's effectiveness, with an average N-Gain score of 0.85, categorizing it as "highly effective." These findings suggest that integrating digital media, specifically YouTube, into the language curriculum can significantly enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. The study highlights the need for modern teaching tools and adequate teacher training to maximize the benefits of digital resources. While the results are promising, further research with larger and more diverse samples is recommended to validate these findings and explore the long-term effects of digital media on various aspects of language learning. The present study implies that the "French School TV" YouTube channel is a highly effective tool for improving the oral production skills of students learning French, offering valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers in the field of language education.

Abstract

This research aims to understand the evolution and development of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) research with a focus on multimodality. CDA is an interdisciplinary approach that explores the use of language and discourse in reproducing, reinforcing, and being closely linked to social relations, power, and ideology. From the initial understanding introduced by Norman Fairclough in the 1980s, CDA has become an important tool for analyzing power structures and social constructions in various contexts, including media, politics, education, and popular culture. CDA has undergone significant transformations along with complex changes in the social and political world. This research aims to map the latest trends and developments in CDA studies, with a special focus on aspects of multimodality. The data collection process is carried out by data mining process in Scopus using keywords and search limitations per category Subject area; Doc.type; Pub.stage; Source type; Language. The document data collected were 303 Scopus indexed documents. By involving bibliometric methods through the Vosviewer tool, the data was visualized and analyzed. The results of the study found that the development of CDA research in the aspect of multimodality has increased in number every year. The study of CDA in terms of multimodality began in 1993 and began to experience an increase in the number of studies from 2013 to 2023. The scope of keywords that emerged was six clusters. Each cluster of keywords reflects special attention to the scope in the study of critical discourse analysis and multimodality, including the diversity of research themes, the intersection of media and social aspects, the importance of visual and multimodal analysis, the connection with the local context, and the application of critical theories and concepts.

Abstract

Traditional language teaching methodologies often fall short in meeting the specialized needs of learners who require language skills for specific professional contexts. This gap has led to the emergence of French for Specific Purposes (FSP), a subfield focused on equipping learners with the necessary skills to function effectively in their chosen professions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of FSP in enhancing language skills and cultural knowledge among learners in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching, Faculty of Educational Foundation Studies. To achieve this objective, three research questions were formulated. A literature review was conducted based on the study variables, and a descriptive research design was employed. The target population comprised all students and instructors in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching, University of Calabar, who are involved in French language courses. A purposive sample of 31 respondents, including 25 learners and 6 instructors, was selected. Data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires and interviews, providing rich qualitative insights. Thematic analysis techniques, involving simple percentages, were used to analyze the qualitative data. The results revealed that learners in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching face specific language needs and challenges. Additionally, FSP instruction was found to significantly enhance learners' language proficiency and cultural understanding. The study also indicated that FSP instruction positively influences the perceptions and attitudes of both learners and instructors towards FSP. The findings of this study have important implications for the design and implementation of FSP courses, especially in the context of tertiary education. These insights are valuable for curriculum developers, educators, and policymakers aiming to improve language education and ensure its alignment with professional and academic needs.

Abstract

This study investigates the language styles employed by lecturers at the State Tourism Polytechnic of Makassar during classroom interactions, focusing on their implications for the teaching and learning process. Using a qualitative research design grounded in classroom discourse analysis, the study employs a postpositivist approach to explore the nuanced communication dynamics between lecturers and students. Data were collected through observations, document reviews, and audio-visual recordings and analyzed using the Interactive Model of Data Analysis by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings reveal the absence of the frozen style, typically associated with ceremonial contexts, in classroom settings. Instead, four language styles were identified: formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. The formal style was the most prevalent, used by five lecturers to maintain structure and professionalism. The consultative style, observed in four lecturers, fostered dialogue and collaboration, while the casual style, used by three lecturers, facilitated a relaxed and approachable classroom atmosphere. The intimate style, employed by one lecturer, highlighted its role in building personal connections and providing individualized support. These findings underscore the critical role of language styles in shaping classroom interactions and enhancing student engagement. The study emphasizes the importance of linguistic adaptability and cultural sensitivity in teaching, providing practical implications for teacher training and pedagogical practices. By strategically employing diverse language styles, educators can create dynamic, inclusive, and effective learning environments. Future research should explore student perspectives and cross-cultural variations in language styles to broaden the understanding of their impact on education.

Abstract

This study examines students’ perceptions of Google Classroom as a tool for English reading instruction, utilizing Davis' (1989) Technology Acceptance Model to explore the interplay of perceived usefulness and ease of use in shaping their experiences. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five second-semester English education students selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis revealed both positive and negative perceptions of the platform. Positive perceptions centered on its accessibility, usefulness, efficiency, flexibility, and user-friendly features, which supported students in organizing tasks, managing time, and accessing learning materials seamlessly. However, challenges included dependence on stable internet connections and limited interactivity, which hindered collaborative learning and engagement. These findings underscore the dual nature of Google Classroom as both a facilitator and a constraint in digital learning environments. The study highlights the need for improved infrastructure, professional development for educators, and integration of supplementary tools to address identified limitations. The results contribute to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced learning and offer practical implications for optimizing the use of digital tools in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. Future research should explore blended learning models and the integration of interactive tools to enhance the effectiveness of LMS platforms in fostering active and equitable learning experiences.

Abstract

Many families utilize English private tutoring to help their children with their homework or improve their skills; in doing so, they are taking part in an additional "shadow education" system on top of regular schooling. This research utilized qualitative methods to explore the perspectives of English instructors on private tutoring for secondary school students. Two English instructors were interviewed to obtain their views on private tutoring. The interview technique involved creating an interview guide and using structured online interviews. The data was categorized into core themes or categories, with both participants enthusiastically expressing their perspectives on the causes and impacts of English private tutoring. The result showed that private tutoring is perceived as beneficial for students struggling with English lessons, as it allows them extra time outside school hours and enhances their understanding. Instructors must provide personalized knowledge and engage students in innovative sessions. Parents play a crucial role in guiding students' activities. Private tutoring can boost students' intention to learn English and increase their learning behavior. Instructors tailor their approach to meet the needs of private students

Abstract

This study explores the roles and practices of an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teacher in fostering student engagement among non-English major students in higher education. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with a teacher at Muhammadiyah University of Kendari. The findings reveal that the teacher’s effectiveness stems from a combination of pedagogical, social, and professional competencies. Strategies employed to enhance engagement include creating a warm and inclusive classroom environment, tailoring teaching methods to accommodate diverse student proficiency levels, and implementing effective time management practices. These approaches significantly improved students’ confidence, participation, and language acquisition outcomes. The study also identified challenges such as limited course duration, which restricts long-term assessment, and occasional student reluctance in group activities. To address these challenges, the teacher relied on adaptive strategies and emphasized the importance of professional development programs, such as the Inter-disciplinary Teacher Collaboration (ITC) program, which provided new insights into effective ESP instruction. The study sheds light on the importance of collaborative learning, scaffolding techniques, and tailored instruction in meeting the specific linguistic and professional needs of ESP students. This research contributes to the understanding of ESP pedagogy by offering practical and theoretical insights into effective teaching practices. It highlights the critical role of teacher agency in shaping engagement and learning outcomes. The findings provide a foundation for improving ESP instruction and call for future research to explore longitudinal impacts, comparative studies, and the integration of technology in ESP classrooms.
