Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom method in improving English writing skills among students. The Flipped Classroom method allows students to learn basic theories and concepts independently through learning videos and online materials outside of class, while face-to-face time in the classroom is used for interactive discussions, writing exercises, as well as face-to-face feedback. This approach is expected to overcome the limitations of traditional learning methods that often do not provide enough time for students to practice writing intensively. Flipped classroom technology approach in this academic paper means a key pedagogical innovation that displays potential in reaching countless diverse learners in the classroom. Applying technology and engaging tasks that offer varied cognitive challenges for learners can help develop their higher-order thinking skills and encourage life-long learning. This method aligns with the evolving demands of 21st-century education, emphasizing student-centered learning, critical thinking, and active engagement. In the context of ELT, flipped learning offers a promising framework to enhance language acquisition by providing learners with more opportunities to practice and apply their skills in meaningful contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the similarities and differences in conceptual metaphors found in the proverbs of two indigenous languages, Balti and Burushaski, spoken in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Focusing on metaphors related to animals, birds, fruits, and vegetables, the study analyzes 20 proverbs from each language. Data were collected from native speakers familiar with the proverbs and from two published books on the proverbs of Balti and Burushaski. The research employs the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) to analyze how these metaphors reflect the values and worldview of the respective speech communities. Through qualitative comparative analysis, the study reveals insights into the cultural and linguistic differences and similarities between the two communities. The findings highlight how metaphors encapsulate beliefs and attitudes towards various aspects of life, providing a deeper understanding of the cultural perspectives of both groups. This research contributes to the fields of cross-cultural linguistics and paremiology, offering valuable insights into the preservation and promotion of heritage languages and cultures. By exploring these indigenous proverbs, the study emphasizes the significance of understanding cultural diversity and the importance of safeguarding indigenous languages.

Abstract

  This study investigates English language proficiency by examining various assessment strategies, outlining their respective advantages and limitations. It concentrates on established evaluation methods to assess their effectiveness in tracking student progress and informing instructional adjustments. Formative assessments are analyzed to gauge language skills across diverse student populations. Formative assessments, such as classroom observation, interactive discussions, quizzes, and short tests, offer real-time feedback and support adaptive teaching. In contrast, summative assessments, including final exams and comprehensive projects, assess cumulative learning outcomes after instructional periods. The study reveals that formative assessments help educators identify learning gaps and implement targeted interventions. Furthermore, the use of alternative evaluation tools like portfolios, peer assessments, and self-evaluation promotes active engagement and critical reflection among learners. By introducing non-traditional assessment practices, this research highlights the value of student-centered approaches that enhance learner involvement and position students as active contributors to their language development. The adoption of varied assessment techniques ultimately supports a more flexible, responsive, and participatory educational environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the pragmatic functions of laughter in everyday conversation and explores its interactional significance. The primary objective is to understand how laughter, beyond signaling humor, serves multiple communicative purposes across different social contexts. A corpus of forty-one spontaneous conversations was compiled, comprising 20 male-female and 21 same-gendered dyads, with participants aged between 18 and 29. Each session lasted approximately 1.5 hours, resulting in rich data for analysis. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative discourse analysis with quantitative frequency counts. Analytically, laughter was examined in terms of its placement, function, and response within interactional sequences. The findings reveal that laughter not only enriches discourse with humour but also facilitates inferencing, expresses relational closeness, mitigates face-threatening acts, prompts requests, eases conflict, and provides access to otherwise withheld information. Quantitative analysis highlighted notable gender-based patterns in initiated, responsive, and one-sided laughter. Male and female participants differed in how they used and responded to laughter, suggesting gendered communication tendencies. Overall, the study concludes that laughter plays a central role in shaping conversational dynamics and often functions as a barometer of interpersonal connection. It underscores the need to view laughter as a serious pragmatic tool embedded in the architecture of talk.

Abstract

This research focuses to analyse the morphological and semantic structure of the Indonesian word memohon, particularly in its usage as a synonym for berdoa (to pray or to request earnestly). It also explores the possibility that memohon originates from the noun pohon (tree), considering the phonological transformation that typically occurs when the prefix me- is attached to root words beginning with the consonant "p." A qualitative methodology is applied in this study, incorporating both descriptive and analytical analysis. The data of the study are drawn from dictionaries, linguistic references, and relevant Indonesian language corpora. The analysis involves the examination of word formation (morphology), phoneme shifts, and lexical as well as contextual meanings of memohon. The findings reveal that although pohon and memohon may appear phonologically similar, there is no direct etymological connection between them. The verb memohon is derived from the base word mohon, which has long existed in Classical Malay with the meaning of 'to respectfully request.' The prefix me- forms the active verb memohon, commonly used in both formal and spiritual contexts. Therefore, although memohon is often associated with praying, it is not derived from pohon. The study concludes that phonetic similarity alone is insufficient for determining word origins and highlights the importance of etymological evidence in morphological analysis. The findings of this research enhance understanding of the fields of lexicology and semantics in Indonesian, especially concerning the formation and use of spiritually significant verbs.

Abstract

In the era of globalization and rapid international trade, business correspondence has emerged as a crucial tool for effective cross-cultural communication and professional success. This study aims to examine the role of English business correspondence in international business management, focusing on its linguistic features, communication strategies, and the challenges faced by non-native speakers. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method supported by content analysis of real-life business letters, emails, and memos collected from multinational companies. In addition, interviews with professionals and language instructors were conducted to identify the key skills required for writing effective business correspondence. The analysis reveals that clarity, conciseness, and formal tone are vital elements that define successful business writing. Moreover, intercultural awareness and pragmatic competence significantly impact the tone and appropriateness of communication in diverse business environments. Findings also indicate that learners of English for Business Purposes (EBP) often struggle with vocabulary selection, cultural politeness norms, and organizational structure in written messages. The study concludes that mastering English business correspondence requires a combination of language proficiency, cultural sensitivity, and real-world practice. It recommends incorporating authentic business writing samples into teaching materials, developing learner awareness of formal language structures, and providing consistent feedback. These findings are particularly useful for English educators, corporate trainers, and international business professionals aiming to enhance communication competence.
