Abstract

This library research examines the theoretical foundations and practical implications of developing supplementary reading materials for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching. Through comprehensive analysis of existing literature, this study investigates supplementary materials' characteristics, benefits, and implementation strategies in language classrooms. The findings reveal three key aspects of effective supplementary materials: their essential characteristics, including complementary function and learner-centered design; their benefits, particularly in promoting learner autonomy and motivation; and crucial considerations for their development and implementation. Research indicates that well-designed supplementary materials significantly enhance student engagement, facilitate independent learning, and improve overall language proficiency. The study demonstrates that successful supplementary materials maintain clear connections to core curriculum objectives while offering flexibility in application and implementation. Analysis of classroom implementations reveals that materials incorporating varied learning modalities and providing clear progression paths produce more consistent learning outcomes. This research contributes to the understanding of supplementary material development in language teaching and provides practical insights for material developers and educators in the EFL context. The findings emphasize the importance of systematic development approaches that consider both pedagogical principles and practical implementation concerns, suggesting the need for continued research into effective development and implementation strategies.

Abstract

This article examines the effectiveness of drama-based instruction in developing language skills among English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Despite the recognized importance of English in global communication, EFL learners continue to face challenges in language acquisition, necessitating innovative teaching approaches. Through comprehensive library research analyzing scholarly works, this study investigates how dramatic activities contribute to the development of reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. The findings reveal that drama enhances reading comprehension through script analysis and character interpretation, while collaborative scriptwriting improves writing skills by developing audience awareness and creativity. In speaking development, drama activities build confidence and improve pronunciation through role-play and performance-based tasks. Listening skills are strengthened through active engagement with authentic language input during rehearsals and performances. The research demonstrates that drama's effectiveness stems from its ability to provide contextualized, interactive learning experiences that engage students in authentic language use. Results indicate that drama-based instruction creates a supportive environment where students can practice language skills while developing confidence and motivation. The integration of dramatic activities in EFL contexts proves particularly valuable where opportunities for authentic language use are limited. This study contributes to the field by providing a comprehensive analysis of drama's role in language skill development and offers insights for educators implementing drama-based instruction in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This library research examines the implementation of short animation films as an instructional medium for developing EFL students' speaking performance. Through analysis of theoretical foundations and empirical studies, this research investigates three key aspects: the impact of animation films on speaking skills, effective implementation strategies, and solutions to common challenges in classroom practice. Findings indicate that animation films significantly enhance speaking performance through improved pronunciation accuracy, vocabulary acquisition, and speaking confidence when implemented systematically. Successful implementation requires careful consideration of pre-viewing preparation, structured viewing activities, and post-viewing tasks that maximize speaking practice. While technical constraints and pedagogical challenges exist, these can be effectively addressed through proper resource management and structured teaching frameworks. This study contributes to the understanding of multimedia integration in language teaching by providing evidence-based insights for practitioners implementing animation films in speaking instruction.

Abstract

This study examines patterns of lexical cohesion in Taylor Swift's song "RED" through systematic discourse analysis. Following Halliday and Hasan's (1976) framework for lexical cohesion, supplemented by contemporary approaches to discourse analysis, we analyzed how various cohesive devices contribute to the song's narrative structure and emotional impact. Our qualitative analysis identified three primary types of lexical cohesion: repetition (56.3%), antonymy (25%), and synonymy (18.7%). The findings demonstrate sophisticated use of repetition patterns, particularly in emotional expressions using gerund forms, creating parallel structures that emphasize emotional progression. The study identifies a complex system of color-based cohesion, with color terms serving both referential and symbolic functions throughout the narrative. Strategic placement of antonymic pairs creates emotional dimensionality, while the use of near-synonymy allows for nuanced emotional expression. These findings contribute to our understanding of how contemporary songwriters use linguistic devices to create emotional impact and maintain narrative coherence. The research advances both theoretical understanding of lexical cohesion and practical insights into effective songwriting techniques, while suggesting new approaches to analyzing popular music lyrics. The study's limitations, including its focus on a single text, suggest directions for future research examining these patterns across a broader corpus of contemporary songwriting.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated an unprecedented shift to online learning, particularly affecting public speaking courses that traditionally rely on face-to-face interaction. This qualitative study investigates the teaching strategies employed by lecturers in online public speaking courses at Pattimura University's English Education Study Program. Using Fortune's (2000) observation checklist, the research examined twelve teaching sessions conducted by two lecturers teaching forty students over one semester. Data collection involved classroom observations, lecturer interviews, and document analysis. The findings revealed five primary teaching strategies successfully adapted for online delivery: brainstorming, group discussions, writing tasks, picture descriptions, and presentations/talks. Analysis of implementation patterns showed varying degrees of effectiveness across different strategies, with technical challenges significantly impacting delivery. The study documented specific patterns in strategy application across three observation periods, with brainstorming predominantly used in initial sessions, group discussions and writing tasks in intermediate stages, and picture descriptions and presentations in later sessions. Technical difficulties, particularly internet connectivity and platform stability, emerged as persistent challenges, affecting both strategy implementation and student participation. The research also highlighted the evolution of assessment methods to accommodate online delivery constraints while maintaining pedagogical effectiveness. These findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge about online teaching methodologies and provide practical insights for educators adapting public speaking instruction to virtual environments. The study concludes with recommendations for improving online public speaking instruction through enhanced technical infrastructure, professional development, and balanced activity design.

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions and challenges of airport ground staff regarding English language usage at Pattimura International Airport, Indonesia. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, data were collected from 30 front-line airport staff through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The quantitative analysis revealed unanimous recognition (100%) of English as essential for airport operations, while qualitative findings provided deeper insights into implementation challenges. Key findings indicate that despite positive perceptions toward English usage, staff face significant challenges in speaking (60% reporting anxiety) and listening comprehension (40% reporting language conversion difficulties). The absence of formal language training (reported by 100% of participants) has led to reliance on self-directed learning strategies. Staff primarily utilize informal methods such as watching movies with subtitles and listening to English songs to improve their language skills. This study highlights a critical gap between institutional requirements and support systems in English language development at the airport. These findings have important implications for aviation language training policies and suggest the need for structured institutional support to enhance staff English proficiency and confidence in professional communication.

Abstract

This study examines the speech acts employed by the protagonist Erin Gruwell in the film "Freedom Writers" to understand the linguistic patterns in teacher-student interactions within challenging educational contexts. Using discourse analysis methodology, the research specifically analyzes illocutionary acts and their pedagogical implications for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching situations. The study systematically analyzed 126 utterances from the main character's dialogue, employing Miles and Huberman's interactive model for data analysis. The findings reveal a predominant use of directive speech acts (40.5%), followed by representative acts (33.3%), with minimal deployment of commissive (3.2%) and declarative acts (0.8%). This distribution suggests a teaching approach that balances instructional authority with authentic communication and student engagement. The analysis demonstrates that effective teaching in diverse classroom environments requires strategic integration of different speech act types, with particular emphasis on combining directive and representative acts for optimal pedagogical outcomes. These findings contribute to our understanding of educational linguistics by illuminating how speech act theory can inform practical teaching strategies, particularly in challenging and diverse classroom environments. The research provides valuable insights for teacher training and professional development, especially in preparing educators to work effectively in multicultural educational settings. The conclusions drawn from this study offer practical implications for improving teacher-student communication and enhancing educational outcomes in diverse classroom contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges and strategies of Buton students in maintaining their local language in the academic environment. This study was conducted on January 7, 2023, at the English Education Study Program, Pattimura University, using a semi-structured interview method with a Buton student. The results showed that students faced obstacles such as the dominance of English and Indonesian on campus, the lack of peers with the same cultural background, and the lack of use of the Buton language in academic activities. The student used several strategies to overcome these challenges, such as speaking with family in Buton during phone calls or visits, teaching younger siblings traditional songs and phrases, and listening to local stories and songs. She also utilizes social media to share buton words or proverbs, so that the language remains in a modern context. This research shows that minority language preservation requires the support of families, communities, and educational institutions. Campuses can support these efforts by providing space for cultural activities, seminars, or linguistic communities. The maintenance of the Buton language helps students maintain their cultural identity while enriching diversity in the academic environment. This collaborative support is important to ensure the survival of language and culture in globalization.

Abstract

This study investigates academic reading difficulties and coping strategies among undergraduate English as Foreign Language (EFL) students in the English Education Study Program at Pattimura University, Indonesia. Using a mixed-methods case study design, data were collected from 40 undergraduate students through questionnaires and group interviews. Quantitative analysis revealed three primary challenges: understanding specialist vocabulary (M=3.8), taking brief and relevant notes (M=3.8), and working out meanings of difficult words (M=4.0). Qualitative findings identified four main coping strategies: technology utilization, systematic note-taking, text rereading, and mind mapping techniques. The results indicate that while students face significant vocabulary-related challenges in academic reading, they have developed sophisticated strategies to overcome these difficulties. This study contributes to understanding EFL students' academic reading experiences in Indonesian higher education contexts and provides insights for developing targeted pedagogical interventions.
