Abstract

This study investigates the effect of using Taylor Swift’s songs on improving students’ selective listening skills at SMA Negeri 1 Loa Janan. Selective listening refers to learners’ ability to identify specific information, keywords, and main ideas from spoken texts. Songs were chosen as learning media because they provide authentic pronunciation, natural rhythm, and meaningful repetition that support focused listening practice. The study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 32 tenth-grade students. Data were collected using a listening test consisting of ten fill-in-the-blank questions based on selected Taylor Swift songs. The test measured students’ ability to recognize keywords and accurately complete missing words and phrases from the song lyrics. The instrument was reviewed by English teachers to ensure content relevance and clarity. The treatment was conducted over four instructional sessions using structured listening activities, including lyric prediction, gap-filling, and comprehension checks. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ selective listening performance after the treatment. The mean posttest score was higher than the pretest score, and statistical analysis using a paired-sample t-test indicated a significant difference at the 0.05 level. These findings suggest that integrating English songs into listening instruction can effectively support students’ ability to focus on specific auditory information and improve listening accuracy. This study offers practical implications for English teachers to use music-based activities as supplementary listening materials to enhance learner engagement and selective listening development in secondary school contexts.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed English language learning through adaptive and personalized platforms such as Duolingo, ELSA Speak, and ChatGPT. While previous studies have focused mainly on learning outcomes and motivation, limited attention has been given to learners’ holistic user experience (UX). This study examines learners’ perceptions of usability, enjoyment, and accessibility in AI-powered English learning platforms and explores how contextual factors, including digital literacy, learning styles, and prior AI experience, influence user engagement. A mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative data were collected using a User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) from 77 Indonesian EFL university students with at least three months of experience using AI-based platforms. Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected participants. Descriptive statistics and correlational analysis were applied to quantitative data, while thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. The findings indicate positive perceptions across all UX dimensions, with accessibility receiving the highest rating (83%), followed by usability (81%) and enjoyment (80%). Task efficiency (76%) and visual design (73%) emerged as areas requiring improvement. Digital literacy and prior AI experience significantly influenced perceived usability and overall satisfaction. Qualitative findings highlight the importance of immediate feedback, adaptive features, and flexible learning environments, while also revealing concerns about reduced human interaction. These results underline the need for user-cantered design to ensure sustainable and inclusive AI-supported language learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of YouTube videos in improving vocabulary acquisition among vocational EFL students. A mixed-methods within-subject design was employed involving 32 third-year vocational students in Indonesia. Quantitative data were collected through pre-test and post-test vocabulary assessments and analyzed using paired-samples t-tests, while qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews to explore students’ learning experiences. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary achievement, with the mean score increasing from 56.84 (SD = 8.21) in the pre-test to 78.12 (SD = 7.65) in the post-test (p < .001), indicating a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.32). These findings confirm a substantial gain in vocabulary mastery after the integration of YouTube videos in instruction. Qualitative analysis revealed that YouTube-based learning enhanced students’ motivation and engagement through audiovisual input, contextualized examples, and varied learning materials. Students reported that visual support, pronunciation models, and repeated exposure helped them understand and retain new vocabulary more effectively. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, including fast speech rates, occasional subtitle inaccuracies, and the need to verify vocabulary correctness. Overall, the study concludes that YouTube video-based learning is an effective instructional tool for supporting vocabulary development in vocational EFL contexts when supported by structured instructional design and appropriate teacher guidance.

Abstract

Listening is a fundamental skill in English Education programs, as it enables students to understand lectures, follow instructions, and participate effectively in academic discussions. However, many students still experience difficulties in achieving satisfactory listening performance, which may be related to how they apply learning strategies during listening activities. Among various learning strategies, auditory learning strategies are particularly relevant because they emphasize learning through spoken input. This study aimed to examine the application of auditory learning strategies and their relationship with English listening achievement among English Education students. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 63 students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur. Data on auditory learning strategies were collected using a questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale, while listening achievement data were obtained from students’ official listening course scores. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product–Moment correlation analysis were used for data analysis. The findings indicate that students actively apply auditory learning strategies across several strategy categories, with specific items achieving the highest total points in each section. The results also reveal a very strong and statistically significant positive relationship between auditory learning strategies and English listening achievement. These findings suggest that consistent engagement in auditory learning strategies is closely associated with better listening achievement in academic contexts.

Abstract

This study examines how power and authority are linguistically constructed in the television series Suits, focusing on the character of Harvey Specter in Season 1. The study aims to identify linguistic strategies used to establish professional authority within a legal workplace setting. The data consist of selected spoken dialogues depicting professional interactions between Harvey Specter and other characters in the law firm. Employing a qualitative approach, the research applies Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis framework, supported by theories of workplace discourse by Holmes and Stubbe and Weber’s concept of legal-rational authority. Data were collected through observation and transcription of relevant scenes and analyzed by identifying utterances that reflect power relations. The findings reveal that Harvey’s authority is constructed through strong modality, material processes, and direct commands that position him as the primary decision-maker. You're not a lawyer until I say you are" demonstrates the use of high modalities that place Harvey as a determinant of professional identity, while imperatives such as "Now get to work" function as direct commands with no negotiation space, which linguistically reinforces asymmetrical power relations. Additionally, his control over conversational flow and task distribution reinforces hierarchical relations, while expectations of autonomy reflect merit-based professional values. The study concludes that spoken discourse in television series can effectively represent institutional power dynamics similar to those found in real professional environments.

Abstract

Since traditional teaching techniques frequently offer few opportunities for active oral practice, the purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of employing an artificial intelligence (AI) application to enhance students' English speaking abilities. Two groups—an experimental group of 18 students and a control group of 16 learners—were used in the study's quasi-experimental design. To measure the students' speaking abilities both before and after the intervention, speaking pre-tests and post-tests were distributed to both groups. While the control group was instructed using traditional techniques, the experimental group was taught utilizing an AI-based application that enabled interactive speaking practice, pronunciation modeling, and continuous oral engagement. With the mean score rising from 59.14 on the pre-test to 81.47 on the post-test and 83.33% of students meeting the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM), the experimental group's speaking ability was found to have significantly improved. The control group, on the other hand, only slightly improved, with 37.50% of students meeting the KKM and mean scores rising from 58.62 to 66.38. These results show that incorporating artificial intelligence into English training improves students' speech performance, confidence, and engagement.

Abstract

This study examines the use of meronymy as a form of lexical cohesion in the dialogue of the film Final Destination: Bloodlines, based on Paltridge’s (2022) theory of lexical cohesion. The study aims to identify the types of meronymic relations found in the dialogue and to explain their role in maintaining coherence of meaning in audiovisual discourse. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through documentation by observing and transcribing the film dialogue. The data were analyzed by identifying utterances that contain part–whole relationships and interpreting their functions within the context of the scenes. The findings reveal seven instances of meronymy, which are realized through references to body parts, parts of buildings, and institutional elements. These meronymic expressions are predominantly found in scenes involving danger, injury, and critical situations. The analysis shows that meronymy functions not only to clarify specific references but also to connect smaller linguistic units to broader narrative contexts, thereby supporting coherence in dialogue. This study demonstrates that meronymy plays a strategic role in organizing meaning and enhancing the continuity of discourse in film dialogue. It contributes to the understanding of lexical cohesion in audiovisual texts by highlighting how part–whole relationships help construct meaning in context.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency is essential for vocational school students because it supports effective communication in workplace contexts. However, students at SMKN 1 Tenggarong face difficulties in English speaking due to limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, low confidence, and classroom practices that emphasize repetition rather than interaction. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the role-play technique in improving students’ speaking skills. A quasi-experimental design was applied involving two groups, each consisting of 36 students. The experimental group received instruction through role-play activities, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Both groups completed pre-tests and post-tests to measure improvement in speaking performance. The treatment was conducted over six instructional meetings using job-related role-play scenarios. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group, with a post-test mean score of 85.33, compared to 66.83 in the control group. The p-value of 0.000 indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups. These findings suggest that role-play effectively enhances students’ speaking ability by increasing confidence, providing meaningful interaction, and supporting practical language use in vocational English contexts

Abstract

Conversational implicature, as defined by Grice (1975), denotes a speaker's intended meaning that is conveyed implicitly, rather than explicitly, and must be derived by the recipient. Speakers often utilize oblique language, humour, exaggeration, or selective information in podcast interviews. Rio Meets Cristiano Ronaldo audio verbal implicatures are the focus of this investigation. Grice's Cooperative Principle and the four conversational maxims of quality, quantity, relation, and manner are used to discover maxim breaches that cause implicatures. This study used qualitative descriptive methods. Data collection involved transcribing a 42-minute YouTube audio video, identifying statements with implicit meanings, and evaluating them with the pragmatic identification method established by Sudaryanto (2015). Nine utterances had conversational implicatures, with Maxims of Quality and Quantity breaches dominating. In interviews with public personalities, conversational implicature appears to be crucial to meaning creation, indirect expressing of opinions, and media discourse civility.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using TikTok as a learning medium to improve students’ pronunciation and speaking skills. The increasing popularity of TikTok among students offers opportunities to integrate short-form video content into English language learning; however, empirical evidence on its instructional impact remains limited. This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The participants were undergraduate students from an English education program who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using pronunciation and speaking performance tests administered before and after the treatment. The treatment was implemented through structured learning activities using selected TikTok videos that modeled authentic pronunciation, intonation, and spoken interaction. Students practiced imitating pronunciation, producing short spoken responses, and recording their performances. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample statistical tests to examine differences between pretest and posttest scores. The results indicate a significant improvement in both pronunciation and speaking performance after the implementation of TikTok-based instruction. Students demonstrated clearer articulation, improved fluency, and increased confidence in oral production. The findings suggest that TikTok can serve as an engaging supplementary medium to support pronunciation practice and speaking development when guided by structured instructional activities. This study contributes practical insights for language teachers seeking to integrate digital media into speaking instruction and highlights the need for further research using larger samples and comparative designs.
