Abstract

This study investigated the phonological characteristics of angry register expressions in Bikol-Naga as uttered by high school students, college students, teachers, and laborers. Utilizing Praat software for acoustic analysis, variations in pitch and intensity contours of selected angry words were examined. Findings indicate that while universal vocal signals of anger, such as elevated pitch and increased intensity, are present across all groups, culturally specific vocal components and controlled delivery patterns are also evident, particularly among older speakers and those in more formal professions. The analysis reveals how prosodic elements like pitch and intensity, alongside specific phonological features such as glottal stops and voiced velar fricatives, contribute to the expression and interpretation of anger in Bikol-Naga, aligning with existing research on emotional speech and language-specific phonology. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the socio-phonetic variations of emotional speech in Philippine languages.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges of teaching phonemic awareness among elementary students in multilingual settings, focusing on Filipino and Indonesian contexts. Given the linguistic diversity in both countries, the research investigates how native language interference, resource availability, and instructional strategies affect phonemic recognition and pronunciation accuracy. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative assessments from 200 students (100 Filipino and 100 Indonesian) with qualitative insights from interviews involving 20 teachers. Quantitative findings revealed statistically significant differences in phonemic awareness performance, with Indonesian students outperforming their Filipino counterparts, likely due to more standardized language policies. Qualitative data highlighted persistent difficulties stemming from phonetic interference and inconsistent curricular support. The study underscores the need for culturally responsive teaching approaches and localized phonemic instruction tailored to students’ linguistic backgrounds. It is recommended that teacher training programs and educational policies be revised to integrate multilingual perspectives and improve phonemic instruction in diverse classrooms.

Abstract

This study explores the psycholinguistic dimensions of lexical choice and emotional expression in Bill Gates’ 2007 Harvard Commencement Speech. Drawing on a qualitative descriptive methodology and discourse analysis of the speech transcript, this research investigates how Gates strategically employs emotionally charged vocabulary, humor, metaphors, and narrative structures to evoke specific emotional responses, foster audience engagement, and advocate for social change. The findings reveal that Gates utilizes high-emotion lexical items such as regret, inequity, and disparity to highlight global injustices while employing self-deprecating humor to reduce psychological distance and build rapport with the audience. Metaphorical constructs further enhance cognitive processing and emotional resonance by simplifying complex societal issues. This paper extends its analysis to emphasize the educational implications of Gates’ linguistic strategies, particularly in relation to public speaking pedagogy, emotional intelligence in communication, and the role of language in shaping critical thinking and social awareness. The study contributes to the understanding of psycholinguistic dynamics in influential public discourse and underscores the importance of integrating affective and cognitive dimensions in language education.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study investigates the implementation of the scientific approach in English language teaching at SMAN 1 Batukliang during the 2024/2025 academic year, with a particular focus on instructional practices and the challenges encountered by teachers. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis involving English teachers from Grades X, XI, and XII. Findings reveal that all participating teachers actively applied the five stages of the scientific approach—observing, questioning, experimenting, associating, and communicating—demonstrating notable creativity in adapting activities to suit their students’ needs. However, consistent challenges emerged across all stages, primarily stemming from students’ limited English proficiency, including insufficient vocabulary, weak grammatical competence, and difficulties in comprehension and oral expression. Additional obstacles included classroom management issues, unequal student participation in group work, and the need for extensive scaffolding and repetition. Despite these hurdles, teachers employed context-sensitive strategies—such as peer monitoring, targeted vocabulary reinforcement, and code-switching—to mitigate barriers and sustain engagement. The study underscores the critical role of teacher agency and pedagogical creativity in navigating the complexities of student-centered learning under Curriculum 2013. It also highlights the necessity of targeted professional development and contextualized support to enhance the effective implementation of the scientific approach in English classrooms.

Abstract

This research investigates the role of short-term memory (STM) in the comprehension of spoken language from a psycholinguistic perspective. Anchored in the theoretical frameworks of Alvarez & Cavanagh (2004), Norris (2017), and Jonides et al. (2008), the study explores how impairments in STM disrupt verbal processing, including the ability to retain, decode, and respond to linguistic input in real time. The analysis centers on Dory, a fictional character in Pixar’s Finding Dory (2016), who is depicted as experiencing persistent short-term memory loss. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and narrative analysis, twenty scenes were selected to examine manifestations of memory-related language breakdowns in naturalistic conversational contexts. The findings reveal consistent disruptions in Dory’s verbal interactions, particularly in turn-taking, following instructions, and interpreting social cues—phenomena that align with contemporary models of STM as a distinct cognitive system from long-term memory. While emotionally salient information is occasionally retained, the character’s inability to maintain immediate verbal context leads to confusion and emotional distress. These results underscore both the linguistic and psychosocial consequences of STM deficits. By integrating psycholinguistic theory with narrative media, the study provides accessible insight into cognitive-linguistic disorders. Future research should explore real-world populations to substantiate these findings and inform educational or clinical interventions.

Abstract

This study investigates how cultural norms shape syntactic structures by comparing sentence construction in Indonesian and English using a qualitative literature review approach. Through a critical analysis of recent linguistic and cross-cultural studies, the research explores how cultural values such as collectivism, individualism, politeness orientation, and communication context influence syntactic features like word order, voice, ellipsis, and pragmatic forms. The findings demonstrate that Indonesian syntax, with its flexibility in structure, frequent use of passive constructions, and reliance on contextual ellipsis, aligns with high-context and collectivist cultural values that emphasize relational harmony and indirectness. In contrast, English syntax, characterized by more rigid word order and subject-centered constructions, reflects low-context and individualistic norms that value clarity and directness. These syntactic tendencies are not merely linguistic choices but manifestations of deeper cultural orientations. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating cultural awareness into language education and linguistic technology, as syntactic forms carry social meanings that affect communication outcomes. It concludes that syntax should be understood not only as a structural aspect of language but also as a culturally embedded system shaped by the social and cognitive frameworks of its speakers.

Abstract

This study analyses how student-teachers at the University of Mataram’s English Education Program view the benefits of the microteaching course to get ready for their Teaching Apprenticeship (PLP). Applying a mixed-method strategy, data were collected from 30 student-teachers through a Likert-scale questionnaire and in-depth interview with six selected participants. Findings indicate that the majority of participants (76%–93%) perceived microteaching as highly beneficial for developing practical teaching skills, building confidence, designing student engagement strategies, and fostering reflective practice. Nevertheless, only 40%–57% felt adequately prepared to handle real-world classroom challenges such as managing disruptive student behavior, addressing distractions, coping with emotional stress, and delivering extended lessons—issues largely absent in the idealized microteaching setting. These results reveal a persistent gap between the structured safety of microteaching simulations and the unpredictable dynamics of authentic school environments. The study recommends enhancing microteaching by incorporating unpredictable classroom scenarios, integrating classroom management and emotional resilience modules, using role-plays that simulate authentic student behaviors, and facilitating post-PLP reflection seminars. While microteaching remains a valuable foundational component of teacher education, these improvements could better align it with the multifaceted demands of real classroom teaching.

Abstract

This research explores the perceptions of first-year students in the English Education Program at the University of Mataram regarding the use of Free4Talk as a self-directed learning platform to improve their English-speaking skills. In response to the growing need for flexible and accessible language learning tools, Free4Talk offers a real-time communication environment that allows users to engage in spontaneous conversations with global speakers. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from student questionnaires and qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews to obtain a comprehensive understanding of student experiences and attitudes. The results reveal that most students perceive Free4Talk positively, especially in terms of enhancing their speaking fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence. The platform’s ease of access, time flexibility, and informal setting were seen as major advantages that support learner autonomy. Students reported feeling more motivated and less pressured compared to traditional classroom settings, which enabled them to experiment with language more freely. However, the platform was found to lack structured content, goal-setting features, and pedagogical support, which are crucial for sustained progress and skill development. Despite its benefits, several challenges were identified, including technical difficulties such as unstable internet connections and poor audio quality, psychological barriers like fear of making mistakes and anxiety when interacting with strangers, as well as limited availability of serious and constructive conversation partners. The absence of feedback and measurable progress tracking also hindered students’ ability to monitor improvement. These findings suggest that while Free4Talk serves as a useful supplementary tool for speaking practice, it is not sufficient as a stand-alone learning medium. Therefore, its integration into formal instruction, guided by educators, could significantly enhance its effectiveness in fostering English-speaking proficiency among EFL learners.

Abstract

This research uses a case study design to explore how Show-Listen-Retell Games (SLR) affect students with dysarthria learning motivation and speaking skills at Kuta Village, Central Lombok Regency. The SLR method is used to increase students' learning motivation and speaking skills on the aspects are fluency, pronunciation and comprehension, the following aspects that focuses on SLR games show the potential that SLR can also increase speaking skills for normal students. Data from pre-tests and post-tests reveal a transition in motivation categories from a predominance of good pre-test scores to a more evenly distributed post-test outcome of excellent and good categories. The results of this study show two things. First is Hypothesis 1 which state H1 SLR are no significant effect on learning motivation of students with dysarthria is rejected because N = 7, W-count = 7 is smaller than W-table = 19. While the second result is Hypothesis 2 which state H2 SLR are no significant effect on speaking skills of students with dysarthria is rejected because N = 7, W-count = 6 is smaller than W-table = 22. This shows that SLR is successful in improving learning motivation and speaking skills of students with dysarthria. Thus, the research advocates for the implementation of SLR and similar interactive methods in teaching English to students with dysarthria, emphasizing the need for larger sample sizes in future studies to validate findings and expand on effective teaching strategies.
