Abstract

This study aims to analyze the pragmatic elements present in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks used in senior high schools in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Specifically, it examines the coverage of speech acts, metapragmatic strategies, and contextual variables in two widely used textbooks: Buku Sarana Elektronik (BSE) and Pathway to English, for grades X, XI, and XII. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with document analysis techniques, drawing data from the textbooks and interviews with English teachers in Pekanbaru. The findings reveal that the coverage of speech acts in both textbooks is incomplete, with an overemphasis on directives such as commands, requests, and suggestions. These speech acts, often face-threatening, require higher pragmatic competence from learners, which the textbooks do not adequately support. Additionally, metapragmatic information provided in the textbooks is limited and focuses more on pragmalinguistics than sociopragmatic factors, leaving students underprepared for real-life communication where social norms and contextual variables such as power dynamics play a crucial role. The textbooks also lack diversity in contextual variables, with most dialogues featuring interactions between individuals of equal power and little social distance, reducing learners’ exposure to various social roles and communication contexts. The study concludes that both BSE and Pathway to English fail to provide sufficient pragmatic content and suggests that future textbook design should include a broader range of speech acts, metapragmatic strategies, and diverse social contexts to better develop learners' pragmatic competence. The findings have significant implications for improving the effectiveness of teaching materials in Indonesian EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to reveal how hybrid spirituality is constructed in Paulo Coelho’s novel Al-Khīmiyā’ī using Lucien Goldmann’s Genetic Structuralism. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected by identifying textual units, including narratives and dialogues, that represent the interaction between Western and Eastern values. The analysis was conducted by connecting the internal structure of the story with the broader social context of the author to reach a comprehensive understanding of the text. The results indicate that the protagonist, Santiago, successfully harmonizes individual agency (the West) with spiritual surrender or maktub (the East). Paulo Coelho is identified as a representation of the collective subject of modern society seeking common ground amidst the spiritual crisis of the global era. This research concludes that the novel offers a Hybrid Spirituality as a solution to value contradictions between cultures, affirming the role of literature as a bridge for global harmony.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of the Missing Lyrics technique using English songs in improving eighth-grade students’ listening skills, with a specific focus on vocabulary recognition and functional word recognition. It also investigated students’ perceptions of the technique. Adopting a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 19 purposively selected students from Class VIII A at SMP Negeri 2 Baranti, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through listening comprehension tests (pretest and posttest) and a post-treatment questionnaire, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-sample t-test in IBM SPSS Statistics. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement in listening performance. The mean score increased substantially from 16.84 (pretest) to 73.95 (posttest), with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The correlation between pretest and posttest scores was moderate (r = 0.556). Questionnaire responses indicated that, although students had limited prior exposure to listening activities, they exhibited highly positive perceptions toward the technique. Participants reported increased motivation, greater focus, and higher engagement during lessons, attributing these gains to the enjoyable and authentic nature of English songs. The findings demonstrate that the Missing Lyrics technique is an effective, engaging, and practical strategy for enhancing listening skills in EFL contexts, particularly at the junior secondary level. The approach is recommended for teachers seeking innovative, low-cost methods to promote active listening and vocabulary development through authentic materials.

Abstract

Speaking fluency remains a persistent challenge for EFL learners in Indonesia, where students frequently exhibit limited oral proficiency due to insufficient practice opportunities, speaking anxiety, and traditional teaching methods. This descriptive qualitative study explores the implementation of role-playing segmented scenes from the Pixar animated film Inside Out 2 as an innovative strategy to enhance senior high school students’ English speaking fluency. The research was conducted with 20 students from class X-5 at SMAN 6 Sidrap, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Ten students were purposively selected as key informants. Data were collected through pre- and post-intervention speaking fluency tests, semi-structured interviews, and classroom documentation. Fluency was assessed using the indicators of total words attempted (TWA), total speaking time (TST), filled speaking time (FST), and total words delivered (TWD). These quantitative indicators were converted into disfluency percentage, initial speaking rate (ISR), and effective speaking rate (ESR), while qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings demonstrate that role-playing segmented scenes from Inside Out 2 effectively improved students’ speaking fluency. Post-intervention results showed increased speaking rates, reduced pauses and hesitations, and greater confidence and active participation. Students expressed highly positive responses, highlighting increased motivation, reduced anxiety, and a more engaging learning atmosphere through this context-rich, media-based activity. The study underscores the pedagogical value of integrating popular animated films into role-play activities as a practical and motivating approach to developing oral communication skills in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The integration of mobile learning applications has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance student engagement in English language learning, particularly in resource-limited educational settings in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the impact of mobile learning applications on students’ motivation in learning English at MTs Negeri 3 Konawe Selatan, Southeast Sulawesi. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research involved 56 ninth-grade students from classes IX A, IX B, and IX C. The experimental group (n = 28) utilized mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) applications, while the control group (n = 28) received conventional classroom instruction over an eight-week period. Students’ motivation was measured using a validated questionnaire based on Keller’s ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) as pre- and post-tests and analyzed with paired and independent sample t-tests. The results revealed a statistically significant increase in overall motivation scores in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < .05). Notable improvements were observed across all ARCS subscales, particularly in attention and satisfaction. Students reported higher engagement through interactive features, gamification, and flexible learning access. These findings indicate that mobile learning applications can effectively boost EFL learners’ motivation in Indonesian junior secondary schools. The study recommends the pedagogical integration of appropriate mobile technologies to support English teaching and learning in similar contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Quizizz Paper Mode an offline, printable adaptation of the gamified Quizizz platform in enhancing fifth-grade students’ engagement and motivation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning at SDN 5 Arawa, a low-resource public elementary school in rural South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Amid persistent challenges of low participation and motivation in conventional paper-based EFL instruction, particularly in technology-limited settings, the research investigates whether this low-tech gamified tool can foster more interactive and motivating classroom experiences. Adopting a descriptive qualitative design, the study collected data through structured classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected fifth-grade students and their English teacher. Observations focused on three dimensions of engagement behavioral, emotional, and cognitive alongside indicators of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Interview responses provided in-depth insights into participants’ perceptions and experiences. Data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s (2014) interactive model, with triangulation ensuring credibility. Findings revealed that Quizizz Paper Mode significantly improved all aspects of student engagement. Students exhibited greater behavioral participation and persistence, heightened emotional enthusiasm, enjoyment, and confidence, and stronger cognitive focus, effortful thinking, and strategy use. Both intrinsic motivation (interest, curiosity, and enjoyment) and extrinsic motivation (competition, scoring, and achievement orientation) increased markedly due to the tool’s game-like elements such as time limits, immediate feedback, and ranking systems. Participants and the teacher perceived the activity as more enjoyable and less anxiety-inducing than traditional assessments. The tool proved highly practical and inclusive in low-resource classrooms, requiring no internet access or personal digital devices. This research concludes that Quizizz Paper Mode is an effective, accessible, and equitable strategy for boosting engagement and motivation in primary EFL learning within resource-constrained contexts. Practical implications for teachers and recommendations for future studies are discussed.

Abstract

Listening comprehension continues to pose a significant challenge for vocational high school students in Indonesia, largely due to their limited exposure to authentic listening materials and the continued reliance on conventional, teacher-centred instructional practices. Addressing this issue, the present study aimed to develop and evaluate technology-based learning media designed to enhance students’ listening proficiency. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach, adopting the ADDIE model, which encompasses five systematic stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The participants consisted of 20 tenth-grade students from a vocational high school in Southeast Sulawesi. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires, student response questionnaires, as well as pre-test and post-test assessments to measure students’ listening performance. The findings revealed that the developed learning media achieved high levels of validity and practicality, as indicated by expert evaluations. Furthermore, the implementation of the media led to a notable improvement in students’ listening comprehension, reflected in the significant increase between pre-test and post-test mean scores. Students also demonstrated highly positive responses, particularly in terms of the media’s attractiveness, ease of use, and perceived usefulness in supporting their learning process. In conclusion, the technology-based learning media developed in this study is both effective and feasible for enhancing listening comprehension among vocational high school students. These findings offer valuable pedagogical implications for English teachers, particularly in promoting the integration of technology-enhanced learning tools in vocational education settings.
