Abstract

The teaching of Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) requires an approach that emphasizes not only linguistic aspects but also the development of communicative skills and cross-cultural understanding. This study aims to describe the form of authentic learning in the Cultural Market activities at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta and its contribution to the development of language skills and cultural understanding among BIPA learners. The Cultural Market is an experience-based learning activity that presents a variety of Indonesian cultural activities and products within the context of real-life social interaction. The stalls featured are classified into several main categories: Indonesian cuisine, textiles and traditional cloth, traditional games, arts and crafts, and creative cultural practices. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with foreign students in the BIPA program (BIPA 1–BIPA 7) as subjects. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that the Cultural Market functions as an authentic learning space that enables BIPA learners to use Indonesian naturally and contextually. This activity enhances mastery of cultural vocabulary, language confidence, and understanding of Indonesia’s cultural diversity. Thus, the Cultural Market has the potential to serve as an effective and relevant model for authentic experience-based BIPA learning that can be developed sustainably.

Abstract

AbstractGrammar plays a fundamental role in supporting learners’ accuracy, clarity, and communicative competence in English, making its instruction essential within the framework of Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum. Although the curriculum emphasizes contextual and communicative learning, debates remain regarding the effectiveness of explicit, implicit, or blended grammar instruction. Therefore, this study aims to investigate English teachers’ beliefs and perceptions about grammar teaching within the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum and to identify the extent to which pedagogical grammar is applied in classrooms. This research employed a mixed-method design involving quantitative data from Likert-scale questionnaires and qualitative insights from open-ended responses. A total of nine English teachers were selected through cluster random sampling, and the data were analyzed descriptively using mean score interpretation. The findings reveal that teachers generally hold positive attitudes toward grammar instruction, with strong agreement that grammar is essential for supporting speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills. Teachers also support contextual and communicative approaches but acknowledge challenges in balancing grammar with other language skills. Moreover, teachers emphasize the need for specific training to implement grammar effectively within the Merdeka Curriculum. Overall, the results indicate that teachers value grammar as a core component of English learning and prefer a blended approach that integrates explicit and contextualized instruction to enhance students’ communicative competence.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types and motivations of code mixing used by Gita Savitri Devi, an Indonesian bilingual public figure, in a video from her personal YouTube channel, @gitasav, titled “Fenomena Passport Bros & Bentuk Penolakan Pria Terhadap Feminisme | Beropini eps. 93.” The study employs a qualitative descriptive design, with the researcher herself, a document checklist, and a transcription document serving as the primary instruments. Data were collected through documentation supported by repeated video observation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The types of code mixing were analyzed using Muysken’s (2000) framework, while the motivations were analyzed using Hoffmann’s (1991) framework. Based on the analysis of forty-four identified instances of code mixing, the findings reveal that Gita’s code mixing is structurally dominated by insertion, the embedding of single English words or short phrases into an Indonesian grammatical frame, while alternation occurs far less frequently and no instance of congruent lexicalization was found. In terms of motivation, Gita’s code mixing is driven predominantly by the need to talk about a particular topic and to be emphatic about something, followed by clarifying speech content, quoting somebody else, and interjection, which occurs only rarely. These findings indicate that code mixing functions as a deliberate communicative resource for naming specialized concepts precisely and for intensifying her argument at key moments throughout the video.

Abstract

Speaking is often regarded as one of the most challenging skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Indonesia due to limited exposure, lack of authentic oral communication opportunities, anxiety, and low self-confidence. This study aims to determine whether Asian Parliamentary Debate (APD) activitiesas extracurricular can significantly improve students' speaking skills at SMAN 1 Lubuk Sikaping. A quantitative pre-experimental One Group Pre-test and Post-test Design was employed involving 31 students of the 2025/2026 English Debate extracurricular program. The treatment consisted of four structured APD sessions conducted in Weeks 2–5, preceded by a pre-test in Week 1 and followed by a post-test in Week 6. Speaking performance was measured using Hughes's (2003) rubric covering five components: grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension. A paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in overall speaking scores (pre-test M = 52.26, post-test M = 74.00, t = −14.775, p = 0.000) and across all five components. These findings confirm that Asian Parliamentary Debate is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing EFL students' speaking skills and can serve as an alternative approach in speaking instruction.

Abstract

The expanding use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed how university students engage with English in academic contexts, raising important questions about the continuing relevance and priorities of General English courses for non-English-major undergraduates. While previous studies have extensively examined students’ use of AI and its effects on language learning, limited research has investigated how AI-mediated learning reshapes students’ English language needs and their expectations of General English. This study therefore explores the English language needs of non-English-major undergraduates in the era of generative AI. Employing a qualitative analysis design, the study involved 30 students from five non-English study programmes at universities in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and triangulated with General English course documents (Rencana Pembelajaran Semester). The data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis, informed by Hutchinson and Waters’ framework of necessities, lacks, and wants. Four themes emerged: (1) English as an essential academic resource in discipline-specific learning, (2) generative AI as an intelligent learning companion rather than a learning substitute, (3) the continuing importance of human communicative competencies, and (4) students’ expectations for AI-responsive General English. The findings suggest that generative AI is reshaping, rather than diminishing, students’ English language needs. The study highlights the need to redesign General English by integrating discipline-specific learning, AI literacy, and authentic communicative practices to better prepare students for AI-mediated academic and professional contexts.
