Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of colloquial language on the English writing skills of Grade-11 students. It evaluates the prevalence of colloquial language usage, encompassing contractions, abbreviations, and sentence structures. Concurrently, it conducts a comprehensive assessment of students' writing skills, specifically emphasizing grammar, spelling, and coherence. The research methodology employed a quantitative approach, implementing a descriptive-correlational design. A rigorously selected random sample of 83 Grade 11 students from San Juan National High School forms the basis of this study. Data collection procedures include the utilization of a validated researcher-designed survey questionnaire coupled with the systematic analysis of written essays through the application of analytical rubrics. Empirical findings stemming from this investigation underscore the commendable writing proficiency of the students, with 30% demonstrating proficiency in grammar, 80% in spelling, and 28% in coherence. The p>0.05 indicates that there is no significant correlation between colloquial language usage and the level of writing skills of the participants. These findings offer valuable insights into the limited impact of colloquial language on the development of writing skills, irrespective of prevailing linguistic variations within society. Consequently, educators are encouraged to consider the judicious integration of opportunities for students to engage with colloquial language within contextually appropriate boundaries.

Abstract

This research study used Pragmatics to examine the language functions of Bikol Proverbs, explore their connections, and understand their importance in the lives of the participants. Specifically, it sought to 1) identify the proverbial expressions that the respondents were familiar with, 2) determine those proverbial expressions that they conformed to and non-conformed from, 3) determine the speech act present in the proverbs, and 4) examine the effects of the proverbial expressions on conformity and non-conformity to social norms. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and triangulated to strengthen the analysis. An audit trail was utilized to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the findings and to eliminate any bias in the interpretation of the data. The results revealed that the participants had a strong affinity for Bikol proverbs, believing that conforming to these proverbial expressions would shape their lifestyle, moral principles, and standard of living. These proverbs have a significant influence in improving the lifestyle, moral principles, and standard of living of Bikolanos and in instilling values in the younger generation. The preservation of Bikol proverbs, particularly this oral tradition, is recommended for the benefit of locals to value their ancestral heritage including cultural identity, values, and traditions.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in translation services has transformed the landscape of linguistic studies. This study assesses the effectiveness of AI-driven translation tools among English Literature students at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, focusing on translation accuracy, usability, and impact on language learning. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collected quantitative data through questionnaires and supported it with a literature review. Findings indicate that 96.6% of students regularly use AI translation tools, with a majority finding them helpful. However, concerns about over-reliance on these tools and their potential negative impact on language skill development were noted. The study highlights the dual role of AI tools in enhancing learning while requiring human oversight for accuracy and contextual relevance. Recommendations for improving AI tools include ensuring contextually accurate translations, enhancing vocabulary databases, and integrating human input. Overall, while AI translation tools significantly aid students' academic activities, a balanced approach is crucial to avoid dependency and ensure the development of independent language skills

Abstract

This study intended to describe the strategies of English teachers with tour guide experiences used in teaching English and the effects of teachers’ experiences as a tour guide on their teaching. The research used a qualitative research method which implemented a case study approach. The procedures of data collection were observation and interview. Technique of data analysis were data condensation, data display, and verification and conclusion. The result of the data showed that there were 8 (eight) cognitive strategies and 3 (three) metacognitive strategies that teachers used in their teaching. The cognitive strategies include repetition, resourcing, translation, note-taking, elaboration, imagery, and inferencing whereas, whilst, the metacognitive strategies encompass setting learning objectives, creating study plans, and monitoring comprehension and production. Moreover, the effects of English teachers’ experiences as tour guides on their teaching include the teachers' concerns to help students be familiar with several accents and help them understand variations in pronunciation and intonation, then minimizing confusion when students are faced with various accents. Another effect is the process of running the class in which the teachers occasionally involve tourists in classroom activities. Because of this, students can speak directly with them, and improve their English speaking, listening, and understanding skills with authentic accents.

Abstract

This study investigates teachers’ perceptions on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in teaching English at State High School 2 Mataram or SMAN 2 Mataram. The research questions concern about what are the teachers’ perceptions of PBL, the challenges faced by English teachers in implementing PBL, and how teachers overcome the challenges teaching English. The researcher used questionnaire, interview, and document analysis to collect the data. The data was analyzed using three steps of qualitative data analysis; data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings suggest that teachers perceive PBL as an effective model for teaching English, fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and argumentation among students. However, they face challenges such as varying student comprehension levels and reliance on the internet for quick solutions. To overcome these challenges, teachers adopt approaches such as guiding students with low comprehension levels patiently and emphasizing the importance of in-depth research to deter reliance on instant internet solutions. The study contributes to the field of English language teaching by providing insights into the challenges and solutions related to PBL implementation.
