Abstract

This study aims to describe the learning experience and English exposure level of English Language Education students at Palangka Raya University. The study used mixed methods with data collection through closed-ended questionnaires and open-ended questions, which were analyzed descriptively quantitatively and qualitatively. The results show that most students have a fairly positive learning experience, especially in terms of motivation and engagement. However, the active use of English is still inconsistent. Informal exposure to English through digital media appears to be more dominant, with a higher tendency of utilizing entertainment content than educational content. Meanwhile, the use of English in formal contexts and social environments is still relatively limited. These findings emphasize the importance of learning strategies that are able to combine formal, informal, and self-learning approaches in a balanced manner to support students' overall mastery of English.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating the shadowing technique with the AI-powered mobile application ELSA Speak to enhance pronunciation and speaking fluency among second-semester students of the English Language Education Study Program. A quasi-experimental design was employed, with a sample of 45 students divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and student questionnaires. Over six meetings, the experimental group utilized the shadowing technique alongside ELSA Speak, while the control group received traditional instruction. Results indicate that the experimental group showed significant improvement in both pronunciation and speaking fluency compared to the control group. This study concludes that integrating shadowing with AI-powered applications like ELSA Speak is an effective strategy for developing students’ oral English proficiency.

Abstract

This study explores the reading comprehension skills of junior high school students by using local folklore texts as reading material. Local folklore is a culturally rich and engaging medium that enhances students’ understanding of narrative structures, vocabulary, and moral values. The research aims to examine the level of students’ reading comprehension and how local culture-based texts can be effectively integrated into reading lessons. The study uses a quantitative approach, including reading tests based on one local folklore, an interview sheet, and observations. The subjects of the research were 50 eighth-grade students from two classes at a private school in Indonesia. The analysis of pre-test and post-test scores revealed a significant improvement in reading comprehension for the experimental group. The mean post-test score for the experimental group was 15% higher than the pre-test score, indicating that exposure to local folklore had a positive effect on students' comprehension abilities. Findings indicate that folklore texts positively influence students’ comprehension, particularly in identifying main ideas, interpreting implicit meanings, and relating texts to personal experiences. This supports the integration of local literature in language learning to promote cultural literacy and comprehension skills.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by students in improving their English listening skills for professional contexts and to identify the strategies they use to overcome these challenges. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Eight students who have completed the Listening and Speaking for Professional Purposes course in the English Education Study Program at Jambi University became research participants. Data were collected through semi- structured interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results show that students face linguistic challenges, including high speaking speed, unfamiliar vocabulary, different accents, excessive use of formal language, and professional jargon. In addition, psychological factors such as anxiety, lack of focus, and stress also affect their listening ability. To overcome these challenges, students develop various adaptive strategies such as audio repetition and speed adjustment, recording and translating foreign vocabulary, overcoming excessive formal language, note-taking and keyword highlighting, emotion management, and adaptation to professional jargon. These findings indicate that effective listening and learning depend not only on linguistic aspects but also on students' ability to recognize challenges and develop appropriate strategies.
