Abstract

The study is designed to address the fundamental question of how students understand phonological awareness. Learning to read is based on phonological awareness, the purpose for the student to be able to recognize the sounds of the spoken language, which of course enables the recognition of the spoken voice. In this case, speaking, which is one of the most important English language skills, also plays an important role, and the thought processes of languages are interconnected. The research used in this context was a quantitative method. Third-semester students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Makasssar were used as subjects, but only five students became research subjects to understand phonological awareness. The medium used in this study was a text medium. All correspondents used English. Based on the results of the study, it was revealed that three out of five subjects understood the four indicators of phonological awareness and two of them understood very little or did not understand the four indicators of phonological awareness.

Abstract

The significance of socio-cultural and psychological aspects in acquiring foreign languages is receiving more attention. Foreign language education has become a significant component of the global academic system, wherein people acquire languages order than their first language in the classroom. Different factors have been analyzed to impact learning a second language in the classroom significantly. This article explores various social, cultural, and psychological factors influencing students’ performance in a foreign language. The focus is to evaluate the impacts of these factors and assess how the participants rate the effects. The study is quantitative, and data was gathered through a structured questionnaire ranked using the Likert Scale. A total of 200 participants were randomly selected for the study, including twenty teachers that facilitated the participation of the students, mainly during the distribution of the questionnaire through digital systems. Analysis was conducted using appropriate statistical tools, such as percentage values, mean and standard deviation. A total of nine social, cultural, and psychological factors were analyzed, including interaction patterns in the classroom, rapport with teachers, lack of motivation, the attitude of learners, general cultural concerns, initiation issues, self-consciousness, fear of making mistakes, and classroom anxiety. These factors exert impact at varying degrees on the learning of English as a foreign language in the classroom. The analysis indicates that psychological factors exert more influence on the students, followed by social factors.

Abstract

The purpose of the present work is to investigate the effects of English language films without subtitles on the listening comprehension of the mid-ability EFL learners. The research study that was conducted used a quasi-experimental design design and both quantitative and qualitative methods which included pre and post-test measures as well as focus group discussions. The subjects also included an experimental group which watched full films with no subtitle and a control group which equally watched the similar films with subtitles. These findings indicate that that the experimental group performed better than the control group in listening comprehension thus supporting the notion that elimination of subtitling aids in directing is attention and helps in the acquisition of inferential skills. The qualitative data also suggest that learners who watch the programs without subtitles paid more attention to the content listening to the dialogues while using contextual and visual context hence probably encouraging a more complex processing of the content. These findings indicate that although, with the help of subtitles spectators are initially comprehending the audio information, subsequent reliance on the subtitles harms the independent listening, which is essential for communication in real life. The study claims that there should be a gradual transition in the learner’s education process from using subtitles, so that the learners will be able to develop their own language learning capacity as well as prepare them for various communicative simulation.
