Abstract

Speaking English is one of the most important skills in learning, especially as international class students. They need more effort to speak English correctly because they are required to use English in a daily basis in the learning process. However, this is the biggest challenge for them since English as a foreign language in Indonesia. While many researches mainly talk about speaking difficulty for students in general, this study aims to find out students' challenges in speaking English during class experienced by students in the international class program. In addition, because this research is a quantitative study, questionnaires were distributed to find out all the problems faced by International Program of International Relations (IPIREL) students in Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY). The results show that the challenges faced by students in speaking is the fear of making mistakes and the lack of vocabularies that limit them to produce the utterances, especially in the classroom. In facing the challenges, the students also have some strategies in handling the situation. It is expected that this research is able to make other students more aware of the possible challenges that they may face in speaking English and find some strategies to handle them.

Abstract

The major hindrance causing underdevelopment in African countries, including Nigeria is corruption, and the role of the media in combating the menace is crucial. Therefore, this study examines the manner in which tropes in media reports shape public knowledge and perception of graft, with a view to fighting corruption through the writers’ presentation of anti-graft campaign within the Nigerian context. Data in the study comprise headline news, top stories, news and opinion articles which represent online version of the newspapers and news report Journals. The publications represent the media presentation on graft and anti-graft campaign in Nigeria which fall within the period of 2015 to 2022. The study uses descriptive, interpretative, and explanatory methods to analyze language patterns in the data. It applies conceptual metaphor theory to examine how media reports frame corruption. Findings show that the use of tropes in anti-graft campaigns helps engage the public, making them more receptive to critical and rational media reports that address corruption from different perspectives.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges faced in teaching English at SMP Muhammadiyah Piyungan, focusing on variations in student proficiency, motivational issues, technological constraints, assessment difficulties, and classroom management. Using qualitative research methods, including classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, and student surveys, the study identifies strategies to address these challenges. Findings reveal that differentiated instruction and interactive teaching methods enhance student engagement and motivation. However, issues such as limited access to technology and inadequate assessment methods persist. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration among teachers, parents, and administrators to create a supportive learning environment. Recommendations include professional development for teachers and the integration of culturally responsive teaching practices to improve English language education at the junior secondary level.

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving digital era, multimodal texts—integrating visual, auditory, and textual elements—have become increasingly essential in English language instruction. However, limited research exists on how students perceive the pedagogical value of these texts in secondary education, especially within the Indonesian context. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of the benefits of multimodal texts as used by English teachers at SMA Uswatun Hasanah Padang Panjang during the 2024/2025 academic year. Employing a quantitative approach with a descriptive design, data were collected from 28 eleventh-grade students selected through total sampling. A closed-ended questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale was administered, and data were analyzed based on Djemari’s perception classification (as cited in Fitri, 2016). Findings revealed that the majority of students held favorable views: 46.4% had a positive perception, 42.9% had a strongly positive perception, and only 10.7% had a negative perception. Notably, students perceived multimodal texts positively in the cognitive and conative components and strongly positive in the affective domain. These results highlight the importance of integrating multimodal strategies to enhance student engagement and comprehension in English learning. The study contributes to current ELT practices by underscoring the pedagogical relevance of multimodal texts in fostering meaningful and emotionally engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

Turn-taking plays a vital role in managing and structuring conversations, making it especially important in both everyday interactions and educational environments. While much research has explored turn-taking in classroom or casual settings, limited attention has been given to how it operates in bilingual or multilingual media interviews. This study seeks to fill that gap by examining the turn-taking strategies used during interviews between Jimmy Fallon and K-Pop Idol BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan), a globally recognized Korean boy band, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Employing a qualitative method, the study analyzed three interview videos through transcription and manual coding, guided by Stenstrom’s framework of turn-taking strategies. The analysis identified three main strategies: Taking the Turn (TTS), Holding the Turn (HTS), and Yielding the Turn (YTS). Among these, Taking the Turn (TTS) emerged as the most dominant, appearing in 47% of instances—emphasizing its key role in shaping the dynamic flow of K-Pop Idol interviews. These findings offer valuable insights for language learners and educators by demonstrating authentic conversational strategies in multilingual contexts. Furthermore, these findings may also serve as practical references for media professionals and interviewers aiming to manage turn-taking more effectively during live interactions.
