Abstract

The qualitative research entitled “Diachronic Analysis Swadesh Wordlist: Ngapak vs Java” will focus on examining historical linguistic changes and relationships between Ngapak and Javanese dialects using the Swadesh wordlist. The study will use a diachronic approach to analyze the evolution of vocabulary and phonological aspects over time, providing insight into the linguistic kinship and differences between these dialects. This research applies qualitative methods by utilizing historical-comparative linguistic approaches and corpus-based analysis to identify significant changes and retentions in core vocabulary. The results show that Ngapak dialect tends to retain more archaic phonological and lexical forms, while Standard Javanese undergoes innovation and simplification in a number of basic vocabularies. In addition, it was found that retention, innovation, and external influences distinguish the two dialects, both in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary selection. These findings enrich the understanding of the dynamics of Javanese language change, the importance of local dialect preservation, and contribute to the mapping of linguistic kinship in the Java region.

Abstract

Four essential skills must be mastered in order to study the English language. They are speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Proficiency in the English language requires mastery of the fourth such ability. One of the abilities that must be understood when learning English is listening. Using songs is one of the numerous strategies to enhance listening abilities. The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether employing English songs throughout the first semester of San Pedro University's English language study program improves students' listening abilities. Action research in the classroom was used in this study. The 15 students served as the research subjects. The researcher implemented teaching and assessments to gather data. The average score was 71.33 in the first cycle, and 46.66% of students achieved the standard score, as indicated by the data. In contrast, 86.66% of students passed score in the second cycle, with an average score of 78.66. However, observations show that during listening exercises, some students are still unable to hear the music being played clearly.

Abstract

Considering its important role in applied English Linguistics, several authors have studied lexical bundles (LBs). The previous studies mainly compared the LBs between genres and among native and non-native speakers. There has yet to be any study that combines the LBs from each section of the same academic writing and the LBs of two related disciplines. This study investigates the types and structures of LBs in three rhetorical sections—Introduction, Materials and Methods, and Results and Discussion—of academic articles in the fields of Communications and Linguistics. A corpus of 3,753 journal articles (1,563 in Communications and 2,190 in Linguistics) was compiled from PLOS ONE using AntCorGen, and analyzed using AntConc Sowftware. Extended lexical bundles (four- to six-word sequences) were extracted based on frequency and dispersion thresholds. TThis study found that the variation of LBs is not only different by disciplines but also by the sections. The cooccurrence of LBs in Communication Introduction and Method is less compared to Linguistics. LBs in Communication suggest a more straightforward and clear method of conveying information. Meanwhile, Linguistics shows complexity competence and greater engagement with abstract concepts and specialized vocabulary. The trends of dominant LB structure in every section are preposition and noun-based LBs, which have higher writing quality and complexity. The study expected to highlight the importance of LBs in academic writing.

Abstract

Writing is an essential skill that requires students to articulate their thoughts and convey messages through written texts. This is considered an essential skill that students must develop for their academic achievement. Miming activities offer a varied strategy for learning that enhances students’ communication skills, encourages their creativity, and promote active participation. Student often struggle with writing because they are afraid of making mistake in grammar, vocabulary, and language use. The purpose of this research was to enhance students’ writing skills through the use of miming games, with a particular focus on procedural texts, which are intended to explain how to perform or create something through a series of steps. The design of this research was quasi experimental. The eighth grade of MTS Mathla’ul Anwar served as the study’s population. The research sample was chosen using a cluster random sampling technique. Data was collected by using a pre-test and post-test. The result showed that the Sig. (2 tailed) value was 0.001, which is lower than α=0.05. This indicate that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, it can be concluded that miming games involve students through movement and action, creating a fun learning environment that helps them understand sequence, structure and vocabulary.

Abstract

This study explores the linguistic kinship between the Dayak Ngaju and Dayak Maanyan languages, two prominent indigenous languages spoken in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Utilizing a lexicostatistical approach based on the 200-item Swadesh list vocabularies, the research aims to quantify the level of relatedness between the two languages and identify sound changes that mark their historical divergence. Data were collected through direct elicitation from native speakers and supplemented with secondary sources. The analysis found that 64 out of 200 vocabulary items are cognates, resulting in a kinship value of 32%, which classifies the relationship at the stock level. This indicates that while both languages likely share a common ancestral language, they have diverged significantly over time due to phonological shifts, socio-cultural factors, and geographic separation. Further comparative analysis revealed systematic sound changes. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of the Austronesian language family and emphasize the importance of preserving linguistic diversity in the Borneo region.

Abstract

Effective communication heavily relies on the correct use of grammar. This study explores the pivotal role of grammar in facilitating clear, accurate, and credible information exchange, as well as its impact on the communicator's professionalism. Employing a library research methodology, this review analyses existing academic materials to identify and synthesize effective strategies for improving grammar mastery in English communication. Findings indicate that explicit grammar instruction, contextualized and task-based learning, and the utilization of digital technology are highly effective methods. Furthermore, learner motivation and consistent teacher support are identified as crucial enabling factors. While acknowledging various pedagogical approaches, this research concludes that an integrated or "focused form" approach, combining explicit teaching with meaningful communicative tasks, is most effective for developing both accuracy and fluency. This study provides evidence-based insights into best practices for enhancing grammar proficiency, which ultimately strengthens overall communication skills, while also highlighting avenues for future research in diverse learning contexts.

Abstract

ESP means teaching of English for vocational or professional purposes. ESP concentrates on giving students the language skills required for efficient communication in specialized fields. This literature review investigates the major instructional challenges faced by educators and learners in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly those related to content knowledge gaps, lack of authentic materials, curriculum alignment, and technological limitations in specialized academic and vocational settings. This review identifies five major challenges: (1) a gap in subject-matter knowledge among ESP instructors, (2) a lack of authentic, field-specific learning materials, (3) learners’ struggles with technical language and genre-specific discourse, (4) inadequate needs analysis and curriculum alignment, and (5) technological limitations that hinder digital integration. The findings suggest that many ESP programs fall short due to a lack of institutional support, insufficient teacher training, and weak collaboration between language educators and content experts. To address these challenges, the review recommends interdisciplinary cooperation, the development of contextually relevant resources, continuous needs assessment, and strategic use of educational technology. These steps are essential for improving the relevance and effectiveness of ESP instruction in diverse educational and professional settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the influence of local accent on English pronunciation among English Department students. In the context of Indonesia, which is rich in regional language diversity, local accents often affect the pronunciation of English vocabulary, especially on sounds that are not found in the speakers' native language. This challenge is important to note, given that proper pronunciation greatly affects the ability to communicate in English. To investigate this, the research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of recorded speaking tasks and in-depth interviews. This study involved 30 students who came from various regional backgrounds. The results revealed that most students were still affected by regional accents, such as the pronunciation of the phoneme /θ/ into /t/ or /s/, as well as intonation patterns that were not in accordance with English standards. For example, the word “think” is often pronounced as “tink” or “sink”. These findings indicate the need for a more intensive phonetic approach in teaching speaking in English classes, as well as the development of teaching materials that are more responsive to the diversity of local accents. Thus, this study is expected to contribute to the development of English curriculum and teaching methods in Indonesia.
