Abstract

This qualitative case study examined the implementation of Student-Generated Daily Question Cards in an ESP speaking class for dental nursing students at Poltekkes Kemenkes Makassar. The study involved 48 sixth-semester students and one English lecturer, with data gathered through six classroom observation meetings, semi-structured interviews with 25 purposively selected students and the lecturer, and supporting documentation. The data were analyzed thematically using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The study was conducted to address the persistent difficulty many health-related EFL learners experience in speaking English meaningfully and to explore a practical, context-based strategy for improving ESP speaking instruction. The findings revealed four major themes: the cards increased classroom interaction and oral participation, supported students’ willingness to speak more freely, fostered learner-centered engagement through student-generated questioning, and strengthened contextualized communication related to dental nursing practice, including patient education, oral hygiene, and clinical routines. Rather than functioning merely as a speaking prompt, the activity helped transform classroom discourse into a more interactive and profession-oriented learning process. The novelty of this study lies in showing how student-generated question cards can combine active learning, learner autonomy, and ESP relevance within instructional format. The study concludes that Student-Generated Daily Question Cards are an effective and practical tool for encouraging meaningful speaking practice in dental nursing education. The main implication is that ESP lecturers can adapt this strategy to promote student-generated, discipline-based oral tasks that connect language practice with future professional communication needs.

Abstract

The film Omar presents a historical Islamic narrative containing various symbols that represent social values in Arab society during the early period of Islam. This study aims to examine the construction of social values in the Darun Nadwah scenes of the film Omar by Hany As'ad using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with data sources consisting of the Darun Nadwah scenes found in the film Omar. Data were collected through the observation method and note-taking technique, focusing on the characters' utterances, facial expressions, costumes, and visual symbols appearing in the selected scenes. Data analysis was conducted through three levels of meaning, namely denotation, connotation, and myth. The results of the study indicate the existence of myths related to titles (laqab), clothing, statues, and characters' expressions that represent the construction of social values in the form of social honor, recognition of social status, reverence for ancestral tradition, and the maintenance of prestige and social influence. The Darun Nadwah scenes represent the social structure of Quraysh society and reveal ideological meanings constructed through both visual and verbal elements in the film. The findings of this study indicate that Roland Barthes' semiotic approach can be used to uncover the representation of social values and ideology hidden behind the signs in audiovisual media.

Abstract

This study is about linguistic choice made by university students, mainly Tidar University students, when they need to interact with other interlocutors on campus. Accordingly, it aims to investigate the linguistic choice patterns done by Tidar University students. This research is delimited to a social factor in Sociolinguistics, namely participants/addressee, which is further subdivided into two specific aspects, namely solidarity and power. Mixed-method research design is employed through self-reported open-ended questions. There are 198 fifth-semester students from five faculties at Tidar University involved as respondents. To collect the data, self-report questionnaires adapted from Cohn and Ravindranath (2013) were distributed. Then, the results were analysed using Holmes’s (2013) framework of social factors. The findings reveal that in high-solidarity interactions, such as with close friends, there are 40,82% students used Javanese. In contrast, when solidarity reduces, like with distant senior students, respondents tend to switch to Bahasa Indonesia or a mix codes (vernacular and Bahasa Indonesia). Distinct from solidarity aspect, when respondents encounter interlocutors with higher perceived power, Bahasa Indonesia becomes the primary choice for interaction and the percentage reaches almost 100%. Conversely, with less than 10% of the respondents utilize Javanese when they interact with cleaning staff and security personnel. Ultimately, results substantiate that the patterns of linguistic choice within a single domain, namely university, can be diverse because of the dynamics of solidarity and power which are implicitly manifested in everyday student interactions on campus.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and classify the use of personal pronouns in the collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based on the theory of Betty Schrampfer Azar. The study employed qualitative research. The data source consisted of six chapters of Sherlock Holmes short stories comprising 174 pages. The research showed there were 5,128 personal pronouns from chapter 1 to chapter 6 consisting of 2.815 with 54.89% subject pronouns, 976 with 19.03%, object pronouns, 28 with 0.55% possessive pronouns, 1.285 with 25.06% possessive adjective and 24 with 0.47% reflexive pronouns. The high frequency of subject pronouns indicates that the stories emphasize characters and narrators as the performers of actions. Therefore this study can be implied in grammar learning to improve English learner's comprehending of pronoun usage, cohesion, and coherence. It also contributes to literary texts in constructing characterization, narrative perspective, and meaning in a story.

Abstract

This study examines how international climate media constructs coastal women through grammatical choice and ecolinguistic framing. Drawing on Halliday's transitivity system and Stibbe's ecolinguistic framework, the study analyses 20 finite clauses extracted from 30 international news articles published between 2021 and 2025. The analysis asks what process types and participant roles are assigned to coastal women, what frames are produced through those choices, and what ecological meanings are foregrounded or erased. The findings show that material processes dominate the corpus: 18 of the 20 clauses contain a material component, and women appear in Actor roles in 14 clauses when dual-role structures are included. This pattern constructs coastal women mainly as workers, leaders, conservation actors, and climate-resilience agents rather than as passive victims. However, the analysis also identifies displaced agency in clauses where climate forces, institutions, or unnamed development actors occupy the active grammatical position, while women appear as affected participants, clients, or beneficiaries. Ecolinguistically, the corpus is therefore beneficial in recognising women's practical and political agency, but ambivalent in its recurring erasure of structural causes such as unequal coastal governance, exclusion from fisheries policy, and insecure land or livelihood rights. The study contributes to ecolinguistic media analysis by showing that grammatical agency alone is not enough; climate journalism must also name the power relations that make coastal women's resilience necessary.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to develop a culture-based educational tourism program at Taokwan Qing Ping Gong Temple as a medium for introducing Chinese culture to the public. This activity is a follow-up to research conducted by students of the Mandarin Language and Chinese Culture Study Program, which analyzed the symbolic meanings of architectural elements, ornaments, and ritual practices at Qing Ping Gong Temple. The method used in this activity was descriptive qualitative with a community service approach. The results show that the educational tourism program was able to improve participants’ understanding of Chinese cultural values, particularly those related to symbolism, philosophy, and ritual practices found at Taokwan Qing Ping Gong. In addition, this activity provided students with contextual learning experiences through an experiential learning approach. This program has the potential to become an innovative culture-based learning model through direct visits, while also strengthening collaboration between higher education institutions and the community in preserving local culture, particularly temples in Makassar City.

Abstract

Intensive summer language courses offer an accelerated path for academic progression, yet they require substantial temporal sacrifices from students who must study during their official holidays. This study investigated the learning motivation dynamics and psychological experiences of EFL students navigating a high-density, daily summer English program at an Indonesian university. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study design, data were gathered through individual, one-on-one semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected university students (n = 5). The individual interview records were compiled into complete verbatim transcripts and analyzed using a descriptive narrative approach. The findings revealed that although students experienced initial emotional friction, including laziness, nervousness, and social media jealousy, they successfully maintained their learning focus. Their academic endurance was heavily driven by clear extrinsic goals, such as securing grades, finishing credit requirements, and ensuring timely graduation. Furthermore, a supportive classroom environment, highly interactive teaching styles, and smaller class sizes effectively transformed the potential stress of a fast-paced schedule into a positive tool for focused learning. This study implies that the success of intensive programs relies heavily on instructors maintaining empathetic, high-engagement pedagogy to mitigate student mental fatigue.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the levels of vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension achievement among ninth-grade students at SMPN 2 Airmadidi, North Sulawesi, and to determine whether a significant correlation exists between these two linguistic variables. Utilizing a quantitative correlational research design, a sample of 32 students was selected from the population. Data were gathered through two distinct instruments adapted from the official grade IX English textbook Bright an English: a vocabulary mastery test focusing on word classes and meanings, and a reading comprehension test evaluating main idea identification, literal comprehension, and contextual vocabulary inference. To ensure data integrity, an initial pilot study was conducted to analyze instrument validity and reliability. The empirical results indicate that students with higher levels of vocabulary mastery consistently demonstrate stronger reading comprehension capabilities. The data reject the null hypothesis (Ho), confirming a positive, meaningful connection where expansive vocabulary knowledge functions as a critical determinant of textual comprehension success. The pedagogical implications suggest that English teachers should implement explicit vocabulary enhancement strategies to systematically scaffold students' secondary reading achievements.

Abstract

English proficiency is increasingly important in health administration, particularly for supporting administrative tasks such as documentation, correspondence, reporting, scheduling, and professional coordination. However, English instruction in health administration programs often focuses on General English rather than the specific language needs required in healthcare administrative contexts. This study aimed to analyze the English language needs and difficulties of fifth-semester students in the Health Administration Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang in relation to administrative tasks. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a Likert-scale format, covering four English language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The participants consisted of six fifth-semester students, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies and percentages. The findings showed that students generally expressed neutral perceptions regarding both their English language needs and difficulties across the four skills. This indicates limited exposure to authentic administrative tasks requiring English use. Nevertheless, reading and writing were perceived as relatively more relevant, especially for understanding administrative documents, written procedures, reports, and formal correspondence. Writing tasks also showed slightly higher indications of difficulty compared to other skills. These findings suggest that English for Specific Purposes instruction in health administration should be more context-based and aligned with real administrative tasks to better prepare students for future professional roles.
