Abstract

Reading comprehension is essential for language acquisition and academic success, as it allows students to access information across all subjects. While numerous studies have examined the impact of various reading techniques on student comprehension, the process by which lecturers select and implement these techniques remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by investigating the decision-making processes of lecturers when choosing techniques for teaching reading comprehension, particularly in non-English departments. Utilizing qualitative methods, including online surveys, semi-structured interviews, and observations, data were collected from lecturers at the Language Center of Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. The findings reveal a two-stage selection process, with student English proficiency as the primary consideration, followed by their academic majors. Additional factors influencing technique selection include age, behavior, attitude, classroom environment, and course content. These insights are valuable for curriculum developers, lecturers, and researchers aiming to enhance language teaching practices and curricular development, ultimately leading to improved student outcomes and pedagogical advancement.

Abstract

Investigating the pedagogical potentials and concerns of ChatGPT's voice conversation feature within the context of language learning, this study begins by exploring the historical context and limitations of traditional language learning methods, such as language exchange, conversation classes, and role-plays. The discussion then shifts to the rise of AI in education, highlighting ChatGPT's advanced capabilities in providing personalized, interactive, and efficient language instruction through natural language processing, machine learning, and speech recognition. While offering advantages such as accessibility, adaptability, and personalized feedback, the technology also presents limitations in accurately assessing pronunciation and contextual nuances. To effectively integrate ChatGPT into language instruction, educators must carefully consider its strengths and weaknesses. This research explores those things to optimize their use and ensure they complement, rather than replace, traditional language teaching methods.

Abstract

Speaking is a practical skill and serves as a crucial indicator of one's proficiency in English. Generally, an individual is considered to have a strong command of the English language if they can effectively communicate verbally. Mastery of speaking skills is particularly challenging, as it necessitates consistent practice. To address the challenges faced by students in developing their English speaking abilities, researchers implemented the English-Speaking Practice (ESP) application as a resource for facilitating English conversation. This study aimed to enhance students' speaking skills across various dimensions, including pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Employing a participatory action research methodology, data was gathered through observations, interviews, and assessments. The findings indicated that the ESP application, featuring a "Listen, Quiz, Practice, and Record" function, successfully improved speaking abilities, as evidenced by an increase in scores across four evaluated sections: 58.55, 64.73, 70.18, and 78.18, respectively. This study revealed that the integration of the ESP application significantly enhanced students' proficiency in English speaking.

Abstract

This research examines how BTS’s music video Butter represents cultural hybridization between Korean and Western pop cultures through Stuart Hall’s Circuit of Culture theory. Although hybridization in K-Pop has been widely discussed, in depth analysis of visual aesthetics in music videos stays limited. This research addresses the gap by analyzing Butter through five interconnected aspects, regulation, production, representation, consumption, and identity, which collectively construct complex and transnational cultural meanings. The research employs a qualitative method using thematic and semiotic analysis of choreography, costumes, set designs, and other visual symbols. Data validity is strengthened through triangulation by analyzing the official Butter music video, audience comments on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, as well as producer interviews published in Variety. The results show that Butter blends cultural elements such as retro Western fashion with Korean-style choreography, the use of English lyrics to reach an international audience, and the building of BTS’s identity through emotional engagement with fans. This hybridization shows a cultural negotiation process rather than merely a market strategy. The research confirms that BTS successfully integrates Korean cultural elements into a global framework, creating cross-cultural appeal that reinforces their position as international cultural icons.

Abstract

This study looks at how verbs are translated from English to Indonesian in the iPhone 13 Pro Max user guide, and how the translation techniques used affect how acceptable the translations are to Indonesian readers. While many studies have looked at translating technical texts, not many have focused on verbs or how they affect users’ understanding. This study fills that gap by focusing on verbs, which are important in user guides because they give instructions that need to be clear and easy to follow. The study uses a qualitative method, applying Molina and Albir’s (2002) framework to identify the translation techniques, and Nababan’s (2012) model to measure how acceptable the translations are. Five Indonesian iPhone users were asked to rate how natural and clear the translated verbs were using a three-point scale. The results show that established equivalent was the most commonly used technique and had the highest acceptability. Other techniques such as linguistic compression, compensation, transposition, and modulation were used less often but were still mostly acceptable. By connecting translation techniques to user feedback, this study offers a focused and user-centered contribution to translation studies. It also gives useful insights for translators and user guide developers who want to make their translations clearer, more culturally appropriate, and easier to understand.

Abstract

This study examines the English language needs of Physical Education EFL students at Dehasen University, Indonesia, using the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) approach. It fills a gap in ESP research about the specific needs of Physical Education students in Indonesia. A mixed-methods design was used, collecting data from 42 students via questionnaires and from interviews with one English lecturer and one Physical Education lecturer. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic coding. Results show that 95% of students consider English important, especially speaking (76%) and listening (10%) skills for communication in academic practicum settings. The main challenges reported were listening (40%) and speaking (30%), while writing was the lowest priority. Most students are motivated to learn English for work (55%) and communication (31%). Lecturers agree on teaching integrated skills but emphasize oral communication and pronunciation. The findings suggest ESP curricula should focus on sports-related vocabulary and practical communication tasks. Diverse teaching methods are recommended to improve student engagement and language learning. This study offers practical recommendations for syllabus design that meet the academic and professional needs of Physical Education students, emphasizing communicative competence—especially speaking and listening—to prepare them for future careers.

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of Grammarly, an automated writing assistance tool, in enhancing the writing proficiency of EFL students at UINSI Samarinda. Fifty third-semester students participated and were divided into two groups: an experimental group receiving instruction supplemented by Grammarly and a control group following conventional writing instruction without technological support. The analysis employed a quasi-experimental design comparing growth scores, defined as the difference between pre-test and post-test scores for each student. Both groups showed normal distribution (Shapiro-Wilk, p > 0.05) and homogeneity of variances for pre- and post-test scores (Levene’s test, p > 0.05), except for the improvement scores, which violated homogeneity (p = 0.000). The Grammarly-assisted group improved significantly more (pre-test M = 59.48, post-test M = 84.16) than the control group (pre-test M = 56.28, post-test M = 65.28), with a mean improvement difference of 15.68 points (t = -9.847, p = 0.000). The effect size was small to moderate (Cohen’s d ≈ 0.34). These findings suggest that Grammarly provides effective support in developing EFL writing skills and underscore the need for further research on student perceptions of digital writing tools in language education.
