Abstract

This writing entitled "Moral Values and Cultural Identity in Indonesian Children's Song Lyrics: A Discourse Analysis". This study used a qualitative discourse analysis method to find cultural identity markers, moral themes, and character education values in the language, synbols, and social environment of the song lyrics. Children's song lyrics made up the primary data, and pertinent scholarly sources on character education, cultural linguistics, and Indonesian children's song studies provided secondary data. The findings demonstrate that fundamental moral principles including obedience, discipline, cooperation, thankfulness, civility, and simplicity are reflected in the lyrics of Indonesian children's songs. Children's conceptions of the Indonesian environment are also shaped by references to nature, traditional transportation, social life, and local language patterns, all of which are manifestations of Indonesian cultural identity. It has been demonstrated that children's songs are essential for moral, social, and cultural education. In order to guarantee that moral and cultural lessons are assimilated contextually. This study suggests reviving children's songs in the character education curriculum and including kids in song interpretation.

The theory used in this research was Sigmund Freud’s psychological theory of personality. In conducting this research, the methodology was qualitative and presented descriptively. The results of this research revealed that two stages namely id and ego briefly and strongly performed by the main character, while the superego is almost completely absent from the story.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between students’ self-efficacy and their English-speaking performance in delivering a monologue about future aspirations among 16 ninth-grade students at SMP PGRI 1 Medan. Self-efficacy, defined as students’ belief in their ability to accomplish a task, is considered an important factor influencing language learning, particularly speaking skills, which require confidence, fluency, and organization. Despite receiving English instruction, students often encounter difficulties in expressing their ideas due to limited vocabulary, anxiety, and the influence of their native accents. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach. Data on self-efficacy were collected through a structured questionnaire, while students’ speaking performance was evaluated using recorded monologues. The relationship between the variables was analyzed using Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation to determine the extent to which self-efficacy influences students’ speaking performance. The results revealed a positive correlation between self-efficacy and speaking performance; however, the correlation was not statistically significant. This indicates that students with higher self-efficacy tended to demonstrate better speaking outcomes, although the relationship was not strong enough to draw definitive conclusions. The findings emphasize the importance of fostering self-efficacy through guided practice, feedback, and motivational activities to enhance students’ speaking abilities. Moreover, this study provides insights into how psychological factors can influence language performance in monologue tasks.

Abstract

This study investigates gender-based discourse patterns in English classrooms through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) at MTsN 2 Kota Bengkulu during the 2024/2025 academic year. The participants were 8th grade students whose classroom interactions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using Fairclough’s CDA framework. The study aimed to identify (1) how male and female students participated in classroom discourse and (2) what gendered patterns emerged during teacher–student and student–student interactions. The findings revealed that male students dominated verbal participation by taking more turns, providing longer responses, and initiating more spontaneous interactions. Female students participated less frequently and tended to wait for teacher nomination before speaking, producing shorter and more cautious responses. Teachers’ discourse practices, including question distribution and feedback patterns, unintentionally reinforced these differences by giving male students more opportunities for elaboration. The results align with previous research, indicating that classroom discourse often reproduces broader gender ideologies. The study concludes that English classrooms at MTsN 2 Kota Bengkulu reflect gendered participation norms and recommends more equitable discourse strategies to promote balanced interaction. Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, gender, classroom discourse, participation, EFL learners

Abstract

This study examines the experiences of English lecturers and nursing students utilising kinaesthetic games to learn prepositions of place in an English for Nursing course in Medan, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were gathered via classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate three primary themes: lecturers' experiences in employing kinaesthetic games, students' learning experiences, and the perceived advantages and challenges of the methodology. Both teachers and students said that kinaesthetic games made the classroom more lively, interesting, and interactive. Activities that involved movement helped students understand spatial meanings better, made them more confident, and made them less anxious about grammar. The games also helped kids work together and remember things better. But there were some problems, such as not enough room in the classroom, not enough time to get ready, and more noise. In general, the study finds that kinaesthetic games are a good way to teach prepositions of place in the Indonesian EFL nursing context. They have cognitive, emotional, and social benefits that help students learn grammar in a more meaningful way.

This research aims to investigate students’ perceptions of SRL strategy use and its contribution to enhanching essay writing performance. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, data were collected from 15 participants through a validated SRL questionnaire consisting of 32 items representing forethought, performance, and self-reflection phases. The findings indicate that learners demonstrate a generally high level of engagement in SRL, with the strongest responses observed in goal-setting, task planning, self-monitoring, and reflective evaluation. Students reported that SRL strategies helped them organize ideas more effectively, amnage writing tasks more independently, and improve the clarity and coherence of their essays. Additionally, learners perceived the self-reflection phase as particularly influential, as it enabled them to identify weaknesses, intehgrate feedback, and plan targeted improvements. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of SRL in the context of academic writing and provides implications for teaching strategies that promote learners autonomy and sustained writing proficiency.
