Abstract

Students have difficulties in understanding an English text because they lacked vocabulary mastery, which made them lazy to read and feel bored in the learning process. In the teaching and learning process, teachers need methods to make the lesson easier. Collaborative Strategy Reading is an excellent teaching technique to teach students to navigate comprehension and build vocabulary as well as work together cooperatively. Klingner and Vaughn (1998) in Nurhayati (2015) state that Collaborative Strategic Reading is an excellent strategy for teaching students reading comprehension and building vocabulary and also working together cooperatively. The purpose of this study is to determine the use of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) in reading comprehension instruction, students' classroom responses to the use of CSR methods, and the strengths and weaknesses of CSR in reading comprehension instruction due to the lack of interest in reading activities among students in reading classes. The design of this research is a case study qualitative. In this study, the researcher used observation, interview and documentation to get the data. The result of this study showed that the teacher used three-phase technique. It consists of pre activity, while activity and post activity. The strength Collaborative Strategic Reading is an interesting strategy for teaching English to students because in CSR students are taught to learn cooperatively so that students are free to express their opinions and ask questions, which include previewing, click and clunk, get the gist and wrap up through cooperative work. In the process of using CSR, students showed positive attitudes and actively participated during the implementation of CSR. The weakness of using CSR is it takes quite a long time compared to normal learning because they have to form groups and discuss to come up with accurate answers.

Abstract

Successful use of English with children depends on support from the wider environment. Children learn English in two settings: at home and at school. However, solely implementing English in a school setting can be challenging. Time constraints and inadequate teaching materials hinder the process. Parents must provide support and involvement in their children's English language acquisition to enhance its use as a companion language. This study outlines the factors that parents should consider when supporting and involving their children in the development of English as a companion language for communication, both at home and in a social environment. Furthermore, it focuses on the value of parents taking a systematic approach to establishing a supportive and advancing English language learning environment in the household. By having descriptive qualitative as its research design, the study included 5 participants, parents aged 25 to 50 with children aged 5 to 12. They consistently support and engage in their children's internal and external English language learning activities. The researcher conducted interviews to collect data. Prior to commencing the interviews, the researcher formulated a series of questions addressing the topics of discussion and documented their observations through writing and/or recording the interviews. The result shows how parents can motivate and participate in their children's improvement in English. These include providing intellectual, emotional, and financial support and involvement. This study is part of a growing body of research on parental support toward children’s language development. The project is going to contribute to future research on similar field.

Abstract

The gender-based oppression faced by women has led to the rise of empowerment movements that reach into the music media. Therefore, songs that carry messages of empowerment are often from the perspective of women, expressing the voices of a group that has long been marginalized. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method to analyze how figurative expressions contribute to the portrayal of women’s empowerment and to examine the affective meanings that convey the messages of empowerment in Jennifer Lopez’s “Ain’t Your Mama” and “Limitless” song lyrics. The findings reveal that in “Ain’t Your Mama,” the figurative expressions used include metaphor, metonymy, symbol, and hyperbole, while in “Limitless,” they include metaphor, symbol, paradox, and irony. Each of these figurative expressions in the songs contributes to strengthening the message of empowerment. As for the affective meaning, “Ain’t Your Mama” expresses its message more confrontationally, while in “Limitless,” the tone is more reflective and motivational. Figurative language and tone in the songs enable listeners to personally feel and deeply understand the empowering message behind the lyrics.

Abstract

Women’s confidence can be represented in modern pop music through the selection of language style to overturn the traditional gender expectations in society. For all this time, women have been frequently haunted by beauty standards framed by media and culture that limit their courage to express themselves. This study investigates how women’s confidence is interpreted in the song lyrics of Mantra by Jennie Kim, using semiotics theory to unearth hidden meanings. This research aims to uncover the depiction of women expressing themselves in the song lyrics through the analysis of denotation, connotation, and myth. The discussion focuses on the portrayal of women’s confidence, delivered in certain choices of expressions. The results of this study seem to indicate that the song’s lyrics employ a number of strong images to express women’s self-reliance and courage. Moreover, domination and women's power are also emphasized, successfully opposing the gender expectations that have grown to be the basis of society’s mindsets. Through semiotics, the song Mantra serves as a spell that validates women’s self-confidence as a part of their empowerment. The lyrics’ use of styles in language attempts to generate and convey the meanings to the listeners.

Abstract

Pronunciation is an essential component of oral communication, especially in English as Foreign Language (EFL) storytelling. However, many junior high school students face difficulties with clarity, intonation, and fluency. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the ELSA Speak application in improving students’ English pronunciation in storytelling. A quantitative quasi-experimental design was applied, involving 71 eighth-grade students of SMPN 1 Kunjang, divided into two groups: Class 8F as the experimental group using ELSA Speak and Class 8G as the control group taught through conventional methods. Both pre-test and post-test were administered to measure pronunciation performance, and the data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results revealed that students in the experimental group achieved significantly better pronunciation improvement compared to the control group. The ANCOVA analysis confirmed a significant effect of ELSA Speak on students’ pronunciation (p < .001). The application’s real-time and individualized feedback mechanism enabled students to detect and correct pronunciation errors instantly, which fostered autonomous learning and consistent practice. Unlike delayed teacher correction, ELSA Speak provided immediate reinforcement that accelerated accuracy and fluency development. These findings highlight the effectiveness of incorporating AI-based applications into English language learning, particularly for enhancing pronunciation in storytelling contexts.

Abstract

Music primarily conveys emotion, most notably sadness, through unique expressive techniques. However, the social context built through the song lyrics can influence how the words are interpreted, which sometimes contrasts with their actual meaning. This research examines the use of implicature and maxim violations in DAY6’s sad songs titled Congratulations (English Version) and Zombie (English Version), which construct emotional meanings, by applying the pragmatic theory of social context, implicature, and maxim violations to analyze the lyrics of the songs. This study aims to identify how implicature and maxim violations appear in two DAY6’s songs and analyze the role of pragmatic deviations in expressing emotions. To accomplish these objectives, this study adapts a qualitative descriptive approach to show how implicature and maxim violations are used to create emotionally rich messages shaped by social context through a close reading of the lyrics. This research reveals that expressing feelings implicitly or indirectly evokes emotional resonance by stimulating listeners’ interpretation. Moreover, it also shows how language functions in song, specifically in conveying complex feelings without having to explicitly mention them. In addition, this study suggests that the Cooperative Principle can be adapted to various forms of communication and still remain effective in conveying the intended meaning.

Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has emerged as a pivotal domain within English language teaching, particularly in contexts where learners require highly specialized language skills that align closely with their academic disciplines, professional fields, or vocational tasks. This qualitative case study examines the needs analysis process at Naura Home Science. This institution prepares students for the international community service (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN) program. The research investigates its influence on the development and implementation of the ESP curriculum. It highlights the importance of aligning ESP instruction with the authentic needs of learners. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview with the institution’s founder, supplemented by document analysis and observation. It involves questionnaires, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation to identify the linguistic, pragmatic, and intercultural competencies needed for effective communication in diverse international contexts. The study reveals that the needs analysis is systematic, multi-method, and iterative. It also informs a learner-centered ESP curriculum that incorporates authentic materials, task-based learning, and intercultural communication training. Despite challenges such as heterogeneous learner backgrounds and limited instructional time, continuous feedback from the needs analysis facilitates ongoing refinement of the curriculum. It demonstrates how dynamic and responsive curriculum development can better prepare students for successful participation in global community service initiatives. The study contributes valuable insights to ESP program design in specialized educational settings.

Abstract

The study examined the extent of excessive reading materials used in selected public and private primary schools in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, Nigeria with a view to determining overloading ESL learners with reading materials and how this affects their learning experiences. The study adopted Cognitive Load Theory and investigated the number of reading materials officially recommended in the curriculum, the actual number used in public and private primary schools, and the influence of material quantity on pupils’ comprehension. A multiple case study design was employed, involving eight headteachers, 113 class teachers, four parents, and eight pupils from selected public and private schools. To collect quantitative data, the study used a validated fifteen-item Likert questionnaire. For the qualitative data, in depth interviews and documents were employed. The results rejected the null hypothesis which said ‘There is no significant difference between the quantity of English textbooks used in public and private primary school’ with t-test results t (98) = 2.152, p<0.05, ŋ2 = 0.045. It means although the recommended textbooks were generally considered adequate, private schools frequently prescribed additional materials beyond government requirements. The thematic analysis of qualitative data showed substantial duplications of contents across textbooks, overloading of children and violation of curriculum policy. Based on the findings, it recommends policy enforcement, culturally relevant textbook selection, and reduced redundancy in instructional materials to promote more effective and developmentally appropriate reading practices.
