Abstract

Attention has been given to multimodal texts to investigate their potential meaning affordances that facilitate learning and raise awareness of ideological meanings. However, how learners learn to make meaning by integrating intermodal relations involving language and visual images, especially in the context of learning English as a foreign language (EFL), has not been researched much. This study investigated the emerging process of meaning-making in digital factual storytelling practices in a senior high school in Indonesia. Fifty-six students participated in this study and each produced a digital storytelling video (DST). The DST videos were analyzed using an intersemiotic complementary framework to reveal the occurrences and typical intermodal meaning-making practices, as shown in the student digital storytelling (DST) videos on autobiography. The analysis focused on describing the emerging modes of making experiential meanings of the intermodal verbal-visual relations. It was found that the process of meaning-making was dominantly constructed in an exposition manner involving the verbs within clauses for identifying and describing. The emerging meanings resulting from the multimodal affordances allow storytellers to track with the potential meanings projected by the images. The selection of digital images helps students explore words when telling a story, shifting the conventional genre of autobiography. This study indicates the need to emphasize the purpose of text and to afford multimodal features to support the achievement of communication purposes.

Abstract

The rise of English-medium instruction (EMI) can disadvantage students when it is limited to monolingual approaches. Translanguaging, which leverages students full linguistic repertoire, has emerged as a promising alternative. While research supports its benefits, the translanguaging practices of foreign teachers in EMI contexts remain under investigation. This case study explores foreign teachers translanguaging beliefs and practices in an international school across diverse subjects in mainland China. Focusing on a Pakistani embassy school in Beijing with a multinational student body, the study employs semi-structured interviews and classroom observations with teachers. Findings reveal mixed teacher attitudes towards translanguaging, mirroring existing research. While some embrace its potential, others demonstrate resistance, possibly due to dominant monolingual ideologies or the complex linguistic landscape. Uniquely, teachers prioritised spatial arrangements and communication strategies over students first languages (L1s) to support struggling learners. Observations and interviews suggest foreign teachers used L1s less frequently than bilingual teachers in prior studies. However, they fostered student-led translanguaging through group discussions and peer support, promoting comprehension and expression. Additionally, teachers employed various linguistic modalities during instruction yet faced inclusivity challenges due to the diverse student body. This study contributes to the under-researched area of translanguaging in EMI classrooms with foreign teachers. It highlights the varied perspectives on translanguaging and the importance of student-driven practices in such settings.

Abstract

The current study aims to assess 150 Thai English as a Foreign Language (EFL) first-year university students perspectives on the efficacies of Duolingo, a popular mobile language application in improving English listening and speaking skills. Given the growing importance of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in enhancing language proficiency, this study investigates Duolingos potential to address the common challenges faced by EFL learners in developing these essential skills. The data were collected using a quantitative method, namely a structured questionnaire, to record participants attitudes towards Duolingo and corresponding experiences. Simultaneously, Gibson and Browns (2009) thematic technique was employed to analyse the open-ended responses. The results show that a high Duolingo usage level was discovered at 32.0% daily usage and 42.0% several times weekly, which underscored Duolingo integration into linguistic learning journeys. The participants also pinpointed crucial benefits, such as affordability, structured learning, convenience, diverse content, interactivity, audio exercises, and adaptive technologies. Nevertheless, 26.0% of the students described several limitations, including audio quality discrepancies, insufficient real-life conversational practices, and limited topic coverage. Furthermore, a significant gender distribution was demonstrated, with 70.7% females and 29.3% males. The findings posit that female students tended to or possessed higher accessibility to language learning technologies, including Duolingo. The findings reflect broader societal factors impacting educational preferences and opportunities. The study outcomes also contributed to educators and developers to improve digital tools for diverse language learning requirements.

Abstract

Translation studies have grown enormously in recent decades and have expanded to include the pedagogical lens as a breakthrough. However, little is known about how the students perceive the online communicative translation assessment model (OCTAM). The present study explores how the students perceive the implementation of the online communicative translation assessment model in classrooms. The investigative locus of this study was a class on Translating and Interpreting (TI) at a state university in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia. Thirteen students from a TI class participated in this study. The data were obtained from semi-structured interviews and analysed using a thematic analysis. The findings revealed that OCTAM provided students with an effective translation assessment model, coped with their limited English vocabulary, guided them to focus on knowledge of form, function, and meaning of both source and target texts, offered them a more contextual translation test, raised their awareness of translating as a meaning-making practice, facilitated them to correct grammatical errors, created a less anxious test atmosphere, and generated their multimodal communicative competence. Pedagogically, this study bridges translation and foreign language education, mainly by examining how an online communicative translation assessment model functions as a cutting-edge translation model to assess students translation competence.

Abstract

As the 21st century progresses, there is a growing emphasis on equipping students with essential skills, including writing, which is considered crucial to master. Online writing has become particularly significant in fostering this skill, as advanced technology enhances classroom activities and creates new opportunities for interaction between lecturers and students. This study aimed to assess the levels of six types of interaction, identify the forms of interaction students value most, determine the forms most frequently conducted by lecturers, and explore the benefits of these interactions in an online writing course. This study utilized a sequential explanatory design involving 122 respondents. Data were collected using two research instruments: a questionnaire and interviews. The findings revealed that respondents demonstrated two preferences for a high level of interaction, both of which showed a notable increase in the six forms of interaction. Among these, four types of interaction were perceived by students as playing a critical role in their online writing activities. However, only three forms of interaction were identified as being frequently implemented by the lecturer, reflecting an emphasis on student-centred learning. Each type of interaction was acknowledged as contributing distinct benefits to the students. This study underlines the importance of adopting diverse and student-centred interactions in online writing courses to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of two approaches in flipped classrooms, including the traditional model, in which the learners were exposed to blended learning in-class and online, and the holistic model, in which the learners participation was fully online through the specified platforms, on academic writing skills and autonomy. To this end, 60 Omani undergraduates with intermediate English proficiency levels were randomly selected as the sample of the study. They were divided equally into one control group and two experimental groups. Researchers designed pretests and posttests in multiple-choice format, which were used to collect data on writing skills. All the tests were validated, and their reliabilities were measured. A questionnaire from Zhang and Li (2004) was adapted to measure the degree of autonomy among the students during treatment. This questionnaire was piloted before the main study and demonstrated high reliability. The findings of the one-month study revealed that the two experimental groups performed significantly better than the control group, with the blended learning group outperforming the fully online group. These results were consistent for the autonomy questionnaire, confirming that flipping the classes, either fully or partially, helps learners become more independent. The study findings are significant for students, instructors, and institutions.

Abstract

This study investigates how stakeholders perceived the inclusion of English subjects as part of local content in primary schools. A qualitative method employing a descriptive approach was used to conduct the research. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. Participants involved in this study included primary school teachers, a vice principal for curriculum affairs, English teachers, and primary school students. The research focused on three primary schoolslocated in Depok, Bogor, and Sukabumito explore stakeholders perspectives. The results reveal a positive consensus among stakeholders regarding the significance of English education in primary schools for enhancing students foundational vocabulary. Nevertheless, stakeholders expressed concerns about the designation of English as a local content subject in these schools. The study highlights the vital roles each stakeholder plays in improving the quality of English teaching and students language skills. Despite challenges in teaching and learning English, educators and students have implemented strategies for improvement, including participation in teacher associations, engaging in English tutoring, watching English media, and listening to English songs. Based on these findings, the study emphasizes the urgency of integrating English subjects into the school curriculum to support students skills. This study, which focuses on private primary schools, calls for future investigations into the implementation of English subjects in public primary schools.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the inheritance of vowels in the Karo language or Bahasa Karo (hereafter, BK) from Proto-Austronesian (PAN), and BK words that show the retention or inheritance of certain vowels, such as /a/, /i/, /u/, and //. The method involved comparing the phonological elements of BK with the equivalent elements in PAN by using the theory of comparative historical linguistics, including searching for inherited vowels in the penultimate and ultimate positions and observing the retention patterns that occur. The data were derived from 200 Swadesh words and three interviewers. Vocal retention occurs more frequently in the penultimate position than in the ultimate position. This shows how phonological positions affect vowel stability during language transition. These findings conclude that certain phonological components, particularly vowels, have a greater tendency to persist in specific environments. BK has preserved a significant portion of the original PAN vowel inventory, exhibiting less vowel reduction and merger compared to adjacent languages. The retention of vowels in BK indicates a phonological conservatism relative to the more dynamic vowel alterations observed in other Austronesian branches. This study also found a close relationship between PAN and BK in the inheritance of phonological elements of linear vocal of /a/,/i/,/u/,/e/, and one nonlinear vowel sound of /o/. Another important result is the transfer of the vowel /u/ from PAN to BK in the ultimate position shows a pattern of retention or direct inheritance.

Abstract

The proliferation of the English language has resulted in the blending of the English language and culture into the national and indigenous languages of emerging countries, including Indonesia. Although most people in North Aceh, Indonesia, are Acehnese, some restaurants and coffee shops are named in English. This study explores how English acculturation in the naming of food and coffee shops affects the visibility and preservation of local languages in this area. Using Berrys acculturation framework, the research categorizes naming practices into assimilation, integration, and isolation, analyzing how English, Indonesian, and Acehnese elements are blended or separated in commercial branding. Data were gathered through interviews with business owners and customers, as well as observations of shop names and menus. The findings reveal that assimilation is the most dominant strategy, reflecting a preference for English-language branding as a symbol of modernity and prestige, particularly among younger entrepreneurs. However, some businesses still adopt integrated or local naming conventions to retain cultural identity. These practices have sociolinguistic implications, as the increased dominance of English may marginalize the Acehnese language in public spaces. The study calls for culturally responsive language planning to ensure a balance between global appeal and local heritage in commercial language use.
