Abstract

This research describes English Language Teaching (ELT) for special needs learners for example speech impairment students. This study employs a library research method. The analysis shows that teaching English to students with speech impairments requires adaptive strategies to develop communication skills through non-verbal and assistive methods. Since verbal communication is challenging, alternative approaches like sign language, writing, and technology-based aids are essential. A multisensory approach involving sight, touch, hearing, and movement enhances comprehension, while multimodal techniques using images, videos, and symbols help clarify word meanings. Assistive tools such as augmentative communication devices and speech-to-text software support students' learning processes. To reduce anxiety and enhance participation, teachers should provide extra time, allow repetitive practice, and create an inclusive environment. Challenges include pronunciation difficulties, limited verbal expression, and low confidence in speaking activities, often leading to reduced engagement. Traditional assessments may not accurately measure students’ abilities, necessitating alternative evaluation methods. Additionally, many teachers lack training in specialized teaching techniques, highlighting the need for professional development and classroom adaptations. By integrating supportive teaching strategies, collaborative learning, and game-based activities, English learning for speech-impaired students can be more effective, engaging, and inclusive.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse syntactic errors made by students at ABC University in English paragraph writing; specifically, those enrolled in English Literature and English Education programs. Although the population consisted of 30 students, the research focused on a sample of 10 student responses. A qualitative descriptive method was applied, using a case study approach to examine the students’ written texts in depth. The analysis identified various types of syntactic errors, including incorrect sentence structures, subject-verb agreement issues, and misplacement of modifiers, which are common challenges in academic writing for non-native English speakers. Each of the 10 student responses was carefully analysed and further developed with constructive feedback tailored to help students avoid similar mistakes in future academic writing tasks. The findings reveal not only recurring syntactic patterns that require attention but also highlight the importance of explicit instruction and practice in academic writing contexts. This study highlights the importance of continuous improvement in writing pedagogy to enhance students' syntactic accuracy and overall writing proficiency. Educators can use the insights gained to design more effective instructional strategies, ultimately aiming to support students in producing grammatically sound academic texts. Through targeted feedback and awareness-building, students are better equipped to develop their academic writing skills and minimize syntactic errors in future compositions.

Abstract

In today's digital era, YouTube is one of the most widely used platforms in teaching English as a foreign language (English Language Teaching / ELT) because it provides authentic and interactive learning content. The increased integration of digital media in the classroom has prompted various studies to explore the effectiveness of YouTube in supporting the language learning process. This study aims to analyze the strategies applied by teachers when using YouTube as an ELT learning medium, the factors that affect its effectiveness, as well as the language skills that are most supported by this platform. The method used is a systematic literature review using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach. A total of 30 empirical articles were selected from scientific databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Mendeley, and Google Scholar based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results show that YouTube significantly improves students' speaking and listening skills through exposure to authentic and engaging English-language content. However, internal factors such as student motivation and teacher engagement, as well as external factors such as internet access and material suitability, still affect the overall effectiveness of YouTube use. This study concludes that YouTube is a valuable medium in ELT learning if accompanied by the right strategy and effective mentoring. These findings provide practical implications for educators and researchers to optimize the use of digital media in improving students' language competence.

Abstract

The research aims to investigate the types and reasons for code-switching among EFL students during classroom interactions. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the study analyzed classroom interactions among eleven fifth-semester students that had been selected using purposive sampling method at a Private University in Jember. Data collection tools for this research included observation and interview. After being collected, the data then were analyzed by using the framework of Miles and Huberman (1994). The study revealed three types of code-switching: tag switching, intra-sentential switching, and inter-sentential switching. The primary reasons for code-switching included enhancing mutual understanding, ensuring effective communication, expressing emotions and opinions accurately, navigating linguistic identities, and showing respect and solidarity. The findings reveal distinct patterns of code-switching among participants: tag-switching involves inserting tags at the end of an utterance; intra-sentential switching occurs within a sentence, at its beginning, middle, or end; and inter-sentential switching involves switching languages between sentences. There are several reasons why students engage in code-switching. These include difficulties in using English fluently, switching languages out of respect and to show solidarity as students, and to better express their emotions and opinions. Future studies should consider larger and more diverse samples, multiple institutions, and a balanced exploration of both positive and negative aspects of code switching in academic settings.

Abstract

In the modern healthcare environment, nurses must be proficient in both spoken and written English to achieve better career prospects and ensure successful participation in continuing professional development. However, teaching English to nursing students in Indonesia has presented significant challenges like low motivation, lack of exposure, and lack of confidence in communication. The current research aims to students’ experiences and perceptions regarding the implementation of mobile-assisted project-based learning using Plotagon digital animation app. The phenomenological research was carried out in a Nursing Department in March-April 2025, involving fifteen students. The data were obtained through in-depth interview and analyzed by using data analysis spiral. The results indicated that the students perceived mobile-assisted project-based learning using Plotagon can encourage interactive and enjoyable learning, develop their language skills, facilitate creativity and critical thinking, promote group collaboration & engagement, and provide accessibility & flexibility. However, they also noticed possible improvement in terms of project implementation such as limited time to do the project and required reflection or discussion session once the project completed. By refining these aspects, Plotagon-based learning can further maximize student engagement, language proficiency, and creativity in English education.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between grammar proficiency of the students who have finished an intense English course and the growth of their speaking abilities. The purpose of the study is to ascertain whether oral communication ability is enhanced by a greater degree of grammatical understanding. 51 students from an intense English program at one of the state university in Indonesia participated in a quantitative correlational research design. A grammar competency test and a speaking performance evaluation using standardized rubrics with an emphasis on coherence, accuracy, and fluency were used to gather data. The results showed a high positive link between speaking ability and grammar mastery, suggesting that pupils who are more proficient in grammar typically do better while speaking. The findings imply that in order to improve students' overall language proficiency, communicative speaking exercises and explicit grammar teaching should be combined. This study advances our knowledge of how oral skill development in intense language learning environments is supported by grammatical knowledge.
