Abstract

The influence of the mother tongue on second language acquisition has been widely studied, yet its specific impact on Indonesian learners of English remains underexplored. Grounded in the theoretical framework of language transfer and contrastive analysis, this study examines how the Indonesian language affects English pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary acquisition. The research employed a qualitative approach, analyzing the linguistic patterns of Indonesian EFL learners through phonological, syntactic, and lexical perspectives. Findings indicate that phonological interference leads to sound substitution and syllable epenthesis, while syntactic transfer results in grammatical errors such as auxiliary omission and incorrect word order. Additionally, lexical interference causes misinterpretations due to false cognates and direct translations. These findings highlight the persistent influence of the mother tongue in shaping English proficiency. The study suggests that increasing exposure to authentic English input and employing explicit linguistic instruction can mitigate these challenges. Future research should explore intervention strategies and assess the long-term impact of language transfer. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of second language acquisition in multilingual contexts and offers pedagogical insights for EFL teachers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Effective feedback provision is essential for enhancing EFL learners’ writing proficiency. Therefore, second language educators need to explore more varied and productive approaches to delivering writing feedback that supports learners’ continuous development. In this regard, the integration of automated peer feedback has emerged as a significant innovation in modern second language writing instruction. It enables learners to acquire richer insights, linguistic knowledge, and writing competencies through digitally mediated peer commentaries. This library-based study employed thematic analysis to examine 30 previously published studies on automated peer feedback. The analysis allowed the researcher to identify recurring themes and interpret relevant findings systematically. The main objective of this investigation was to explore how automated peer feedback empowers EFL learners’ writing skills. The findings revealed that automated peer feedback enhances learners’ writing development by fostering student-centered engagement and collaborative learning environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the comparative perceptions of Indonesian and Philippine EFL students regarding the use of ChatGPT in academic writing, focusing on the interplay between trust and skepticism. Employing a quantitative comparative research design with complementary qualitative inputs, data were collected from 232 university students using a structured questionnaire consisting of 20 closed-ended items analyzed quantitatively and two open-ended items analyzed qualitatively. Descriptive statistics and comparative analysis revealed that both groups perceived ChatGPT positively as a tool that improves writing quality, coherence, and confidence. However, students also expressed ethical concerns about plagiarism, overreliance, and authenticity. Filipino students tended to exhibit higher trust due to greater digital familiarity, while Indonesian students demonstrated stronger skepticism rooted in institutional and moral caution. The findings highlight the coexistence of trust and critical awareness, emphasizing the need for AI literacy education that integrates technological proficiency with ethical reflection. The study contributes to global discussions on AI-assisted writing by contextualizing the phenomenon within Southeast Asian educational settings.

Abstract

The ability to write descriptive texts in English remains a challenge for many EFL learners, particularly at the secondary vocational level, where students often struggle with generating ideas, organizing content, and using accurate vocabulary. Visual media such as picture series can serve as effective learning aids by stimulating imagination, guiding idea development, and making writing tasks more engaging. This study explores students’ perceptions of using picture series to support descriptive text writing in an eleventh-grade vocational high school in Kudus, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study collected data through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 30 students. The findings reveal that the majority of students perceive picture series as helpful in clarifying the stages of writing, expanding vocabulary, and reducing difficulties in composing descriptive texts. Students also reported that picture series enhanced their motivation and made writing activities more enjoyable. However, some challenges were noted, including dependence on visual aids and limited opportunities to develop writing autonomy. Overall, the study concludes that picture series are perceived positively as an instructional medium, with potential to foster students’ writing skills when used strategically in classroom practice. The results suggest that EFL teachers should integrate picture-based tasks with guided writing activities to balance support and independence in learning.

Abstract

Indonesia’s multilingual landscape poses both opportunities and challenges for English language learning in primary education, where Bahasa Indonesia serves as the main instructional language alongside the introduction of English. Grounded in Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and Translanguaging Theory, this study explored how fifth-grade students and their teacher at SD Hj. Isriati Baiturahman 1 Semarang navigate the interplay between Bahasa Indonesia and English in the classroom. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis. Findings revealed that students used Bahasa Indonesia as a cognitive and emotional scaffold to support English comprehension, while English was employed primarily for structured classroom tasks and oral practice. Translanguaging emerged as a natural learning strategy that facilitated meaning-making, confidence, and participation. Students demonstrated positive attitudes toward bilingual instruction, perceiving it as both supportive and empowering. The study concludes that balanced bilingual practices enhance engagement, promote additive bilingualism, and nurture linguistic identity among young learners. The implication highlights the need for EFL teachers and policymakers in Indonesia to embrace multilingual pedagogy that integrates Bahasa Indonesia strategically to foster inclusive, meaningful, and culturally responsive English learning.
