Abstract

This study aims to explore the effect of using Virtual Reality (VR) technology in improving pronunciation and fluency in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). By offering an immersive and interactive learning environment, VR allows learners to practice speaking skills in situations that mimic real-world conversations, potentially reducing anxiety and increasing confidence. This study identifies the role of VR in facilitating repeated exposure to accurate pronunciation models and assisting in the development of speaking fluency through interactive simulation. The results of the study indicate that the use of VR can improve learners' pronunciation and fluency, especially by providing immediate feedback and the opportunity to practice in a non-stressful environment. However, although VR shows positive results, its effectiveness in the long term and in a more realistic classroom context still requires further research. This study also highlights the need for more in-depth studies on the comparison between training using VR and traditional methods, as well as the influence of individual factors such as anxiety and previous pronunciation training on learning outcomes.

Abstract

The present study focuses on the mapping of emotion in "Tanpa Kemenudian" translated into "No Resolution." The research is grounded in the theory of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM), a concept that has been supported by Wierzbicka (1999) and Goddard (1997). The natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) is defined as a minilanguage believed to correspond to the common core of all languages. This hypothesis has emerged through comprehensive cross-linguistic inquiries that have spanned over three decades. The NSM system was developed primarily as a linguistic theory aimed at identifying the "language of thought" and the shared core of the lexicon and grammar of all natural languages. The present study explores the notion of emotion, delineating its association with positive and negative phenomena. The objective of the present study is to demonstrate that emotion mapping is imperative for effective translation. This ability will assist the translator in accurately conveying the intended message from the source language to the target language. The findings reveal that the data is distributed as follows: four data points are associated with favorable outcomes, while three data points are associated with unfavorable outcomes. Each lexicon is representative of its semantic features, as determined by the NSM approach.

Abstract

This research examines the use of game-based learning methods to enhance students' speaking abilities at MTs. Darul Wustha Jerowaru in the year 2024. This study employs Classroom Action Research (CAR) as its research methodology. The statistics in this research were derived from the mean value of student performance and the percentage of grades. The participants in this research were seventh-grade students from MTs. Darul Wustha Jerowaru included 17 individuals. This study was performed in two phases. The tools used in this study included tests, questionnaires, and observation sheets. The mean score of students' speaking proficiency in the first cycle was 69, with 60% of students exhibiting inadequate speaking abilities; hence, the researcher proceeded to a second cycle. The findings indicated that the mean score of students' speaking proficiency was 76, with 81.25% of students meeting the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM). This indicates that the use of game-based learning methods may enhance students' speaking proficiency.

Abstract

In Indonesian schools, particularly in Bogor, the English Day program mandates weekly English use to enhance speaking skills. This qualitative case study examines how the program is implemented to support public speaking at Ibnu Hajar Islamic Junior High School. Participants included eighth- and ninth-grade students (n=4 for interviews), selected for their active engagement during observations. Data were collected via classroom observations (four weeks, eight sessions) and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed two primary activities presentations and storytelling that foster public speaking. Students prepared materials, practiced nonverbal cues (e.g., body language, intonation), and delivered structured talks (opening, body, closing). Although occasional code-mixing with Bahasa Indonesia occurred, teachers reinforced English use through vocabulary drills as mild reinforcement, leading to improvements in pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence. The program creates a supportive environment for real-world English application, though limitations included unobserved activities like debates. Findings underscore the program's role in building communicative competence.
