Abstract

The proliferation of mobile technology has transformed foreign language learning, offering flexible solutions for learners with time or accessibility constraints. This study investigates user preferences for mobile applications in language acquisition, examining application choices, targeted language skills, usage frequency, and device accessibility. Through a quantitative survey of 75 learners (aged 13–60) across Indonesia, results reveal that 84% leverage mobile apps for language learning, with Duolingo emerging as the dominant platform (67.6%). Participants primarily aimed to improve all core language skills (66.6%), engaged daily (41.2%), and dedicated 15–30 minutes per session (44.4%). Smartphones were the preferred access point (52.3%), particularly among working professionals (62.6% of respondents). The findings highlight mobile apps as critical tools for democratizing language education and underscore the need for enhanced speaking-focused features in future designs

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the strategies, assessment techniques, and classroom behaviors that primary school teachers employ to encourage student question-asking, a critical component of active and meaningful learning. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with nine classroom teachers selected via purposive sampling, the study adopts a phenomenological approach to understand how educators foster inquiry in their daily practices. The findings reveal ten key themes that reflect teacher efforts to promote question-asking, including encouraging active participation, addressing diverse learning styles, enabling students to formulate their own questions, and overcoming student shyness. Teachers reported using visual aids, storytelling, group discussions, drama, peer questioning, and feedback techniques tailored to individual learners. Additionally, teacher behaviors—such as verbal encouragement, maintaining eye contact, and empathetic listening—were found to cultivate supportive learning environments conducive to curiosity and self-expression. The study concludes that student questioning is influenced by the alignment of instructional strategies with students’ cognitive and affective needs. It recommends sustained professional development focused on inquiry-based pedagogy to expand students’ questioning capacities and support the formation of democratic, student-centered classrooms.

Abstract

This study explores the use of swear words in the Japanese language, focusing on their forms, references, and communicative functions. The aim is to identify the types of swear words used by native speakers, analyze their morphological structures, and understand the meanings and roles they play in social interaction. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, employing interviews and document analysis as primary data collection methods. Instruments included the researcher as the key instrument, supported by document analysis sheets and interview guides. Data were collected from three native Japanese speakers, supplemented with related texts and online sources. The study identified 41 Japanese swear words categorized into 14 monomorphemic words, 17 polymorphemic words, 13 phrases, and 6 clauses. The references of these words varied, including sex (4), excrement (4), animals (4), mental illness (2), and death (3). Functionally, the swear words were used to express emotions (15), show aggression (12), deliver insults (20), emphasize a point (1), and establish group identity or solidarity (3). The findings reveal the complexity of swearing in Japanese, showing that such expressions play an important role in emotional release, group belonging, and social confrontation. This study enhances the understanding of Japanese sociolinguistics and pragmatics.

Abstract

This research aims to (1) identify swear words used by Indians, (2) analyze their forms, (3) examine their functions, and (4) explore their references. It employs a qualitative descriptive method and was conducted in Nusa Penida, Klungkung Regency, Bali. Data were collected through document analysis and interviews with three informants selected based on specific criteria. The researcher acted as the main instrument, supported by an analysis sheet and interview guides. The findings reveal a total of 33 Hindi swear words. In terms of form, 15 are monomorphemic, 12 polymorphemic, 3 noun phrases, and 3 independent clauses. Regarding function, 18 swear words are used to discredit others, 7 to provoke, and 8 to provide emotional catharsis. As for references, the words relate to sex activity (8), excrement (2), animals (4), personal background (4), bodily functions (8), and death (1). These results show that Hindi swear words are varied in structure, purpose, and reference, reflecting both the emotional intensity and cultural context in which they are used. This study enhances the understanding of Indian sociolinguistics by demonstrating how swearing serves not only as verbal aggression or expression, but also as a reflection of societal values, interpersonal dynamics, and cultural identity.

Abstract

Swear words, while often considered taboo, have played a significant role in human communication. This study aimed to identify the Mandarin swear words used by Chinese speakers, analyze their forms, references, and functions. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative design. Primary data were collected through document analysis and interviews. The researcher acted as the main instrument, supported by document analysis sheets and interview guides. Three informants were selected based on predetermined criteria. The data were analyzed descriptively using the theory of Miles and Huberman (1984). The results of the study showed that there were 34 Mandarin swear words used by Chinese speakers. In terms of form, 13 were classified as words, consisting of 1 monomorphemic word and 12 polymorphemic words; 12 were phrases, and 9 were clauses. With regard to their references, five categories were identified: sex (5), excrement (2), animal names (2), mental illness (3), and personal background (5). Furthermore, five functions of Mandarin swear words were found: expressing emotion (8), drawing attention (5), social group identity (2), aggression (18), and regressive (1). These findings highlight the various ways in which swear words are employed in Mandarin, revealing their communicative purposes and sociolinguistic relevance.

Abstract

This study critically examines the evolving role of assessment and evaluation in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL), emphasizing a paradigm shift from summative judgment to a continuous, formative process integral to instruction. Through qualitative content analysis of theoretical literature and practical frameworks, the research synthesizes multidimensional assessment practices that align with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). It explores diverse assessment tools—including written exams, oral tests, multiple-choice questions, performance tasks, checklists, and analytic rubrics—and evaluates their efficacy in measuring integrated language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing). Findings reveal that imbalances in skill development often stem from isolated assessment methods, leading to communicative inadequacies (e.g., comprehension without production). The study advocates for contextually authentic, CEFR-aligned strategies that bridge receptive and productive competencies, such as combining reading with written responses or listening with oral tasks. Additionally, it underscores the distinction between assessment (systematic observation) and evaluation (criterion-referenced judgment), highlighting the need for balanced tool selection to enhance reliability and reduce anxiety. Practical implications include leveraging checklists for skill-specific benchmarks, analytic rubrics for performance clarity, and iterative feedback for writing development. The research concludes that holistic, integrated assessment designs are essential for fostering balanced language proficiency and achieving meaningful educational outcomes in global EFL contexts.

Abstract

This article offers a comparative analysis of three foundational figures in literary semiotics: Algirdas Julien Greimas, Umberto Eco, and Roland Barthes. Drawing on the philosophical traditions of Hegel, Kant, and Nietzsche, the study examines how each theorist articulates distinct approaches to textual meaning, structure, and interpretation. Greimas develops a rationalist framework centered on structural semantics and coherence; Eco positions himself between rationalism and postmodern multiplicity by proposing a model of textual openness constrained by interpretive competence; and Barthes advocates for the primacy of the signifier and the aesthetics of polysemy, resisting conceptual closure through a Nietzschean lens. Methodologically, the article employs close reading and comparative conceptual analysis to highlight epistemological tensions and intersections among the three thinkers. Ultimately, the study maps the evolution of literary semiotics as a dynamic dialogue between structure and openness, coherence and ambiguity, authorial intention and readerly participation

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental component of academic success, yet bilingual students often face distinct challenges in this area, particularly in contexts where the language of instruction differs from their home language. This qualitative study investigates the reading comprehension difficulties encountered by bilingual primary school students in Indonesia, drawing on the experiences and insights of 20 classroom teachers from Tangerang Selatan, Banten. Through semi-structured interviews, the study identifies key barriers to comprehension including limited vocabulary, language interference, and low parental involvement—factors often exacerbated by socioeconomic constraints and large family sizes. The study also explores the impact of these difficulties on students’ performance in other subjects, as well as the strategies teachers employ to mitigate these challenges. Teachers propose solutions such as adapting textbooks, increasing family engagement, providing professional development in bilingual education, and enhancing early childhood programs. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of bilingual students' literacy development in Indonesia and underscore the need for context-sensitive educational interventions.

Abstract

Listening comprehension remains one of the most challenging language skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. This action research study explores the impact of pre-listening language learning strategies on the listening comprehension skills of first-semester students at Universitas Pamulang. A total of 35 students participated in a structured intervention comprising three cycles of strategy-based listening instruction. Data were collected through observation forms, researcher-practitioner journals, and semi-structured interviews. Descriptive and content analyses were employed to interpret the data. The findings reveal that the explicit teaching of pre-listening strategies significantly improved learners’ motivation, comprehension, and engagement with listening tasks. Students reported increased confidence, enhanced understanding of listening texts, and reduced anxiety. Although a few learners faced challenges in recalling prior knowledge or vocabulary, the majority expressed positive attitudes toward the approach. The study highlights the value of incorporating pre-listening strategies as an integral component of EFL instruction to support listening development and learner autonomy.

Abstract

This study investigates the motivational strategies employed by teachers through the application of the Teachers’ Student Motivation Scale (TSMS), a psychometrically validated instrument designed to assess teachers’ approaches to student motivation. The TSMS comprises 32 scenario-based items categorized into four sub-dimensions: high-level control, moderate-level control, moderate-level autonomy support, and high-level autonomy support. Utilizing a 5-point Likert scale, the scale captures the frequency and appropriateness of teachers’ motivational behaviors. The study evaluates the reliability and validity of the TSMS, reporting satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha ranging from 0.75 to 0.78 across sub-dimensions) and significant correlations with the Student Locus of Control Scale, indicating meaningful relationships between motivational strategies and students’ locus of control. Data analysis, including independent samples t-tests, explores variations in motivational strategies by teacher gender. Findings highlight the role of control and autonomy-supportive strategies in fostering student motivation, with implications for teacher training and educational practice. This research contributes to the understanding of motivational aspects in educational settings and offers an appropriate tool for future studies.
