Abstract

Oral narrative ability plays a pivotal role in children’s language development, yet studies in EFL settings have seldom examined how young learners construct meaning through functional and curriculum-based perspectives, and drawing on Halliday’s three metafunctions, namely, ideational, interpersonal, and textual. The study analyzes the oral presentations of six 9-10-year-old young learners in a private primary school in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, completing a classroom narrative assignment titled “A Day in My Life”. The data consisted of audio recordings of students' storytelling, which were transcribed and analyzed using metafunctional categories: process types, mood structures, modality, and thematic organization. The analysis reveals how children’s language choices reflect emerging narrative competence, social identity, and classroom positioning. While most narratives followed predictable patterns with material processes and simple themes, some learners exhibited agentive voice, evaluative stance, and interpersonal variation. This qualitative inquiry demonstrates how the combined application of SFL can uncover subtle layers of meaning in children’s oral narratives, yielding pedagogical insights for narrative instruction and deepening understanding of language development in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact and efficacy of the Online Speaking Test (OST) application on students' motivation and self-efficacy to optimize English learning and produce students with greater English language proficiency. Using a variety of techniques, such as pre-test, observation, interviews, treatment in using the OST, and post-tests to see whether changes had occurred before and after the treatment, 102 university students from various faculties in Bali’s university participated in this study. Employing the OST, the research revealed variations between the factors of rising and decreasing student motivation, anxiety, and self-confidence following treatment and post-treatment. Nevertheless, there was a very small variation in the proportion of students whose self-confidence improved following therapy, which was brought on by variations in the students' English proficiency levels. The students with excellent proficiency inboth comprehending and using English did not encounter major challenges when using the online speaking test. Students who feel less confident, on the other hand, have a different experience. Due to differences in prior learning experience, learner characteristics, teaching and learning methods, learners’ motivations and the urgency of language acquisition, an OST may results differently according several factors affecting the learners intrinsically and extrinsically.

Abstract

Context and meaning formation are crucial to functional linguistics, especially literary texts. Using language within texts and meanings drawn from textual units to form interpretations, this essay examines this dynamic. Based on systemic-functional linguistics (SFL), the exploration stresses language's flexibility and ability to connect micro and macro textual elements. The study uses Halliday's context description as a fluid, ever-changing construct to analyse how context influences and reshapes meaning through meaning-making. The structure explains the context, analyses lexicogrammatical selections and patterns, and applies these theoretical descriptions to literary narratives. The study examines fictive narratives, integrates socio-semantic theory to show how context works in diverse literary settings, and reflects on SFL in literary studies. According to functional linguistics, literary interpretation is based on the fundamental processes that shape literary texts. So that understanding related to language constructing meaning in literature by using genre-specific frameworks, digital humanities tools, cross-cultural studies, interdisciplinary collaborations, and dynamic socio-cultural contexts can be better and these methods will illuminate the broad and complex realm of literary expression

Abstract

This study investigates the experiences and challenges of lecturers and students in the English Tadris Study Program of IAIN Curup in using AI writing tools for academic work. Using a qualitative approach with purposive sampling, data were collected from one lecturer and ten students through interviews, supported by a preliminary pilot study confirming the integration of AI in academic writing practices. The findings reveal that AI enhances idea development, organization, syntactic accuracy, vocabulary refinement, and writing confidence, functioning as a cognitive accelerator that streamlines the writing process. However, significant challenges emerge, including shallow idea generation, rigid structures, machine-like language, inaccurate citations, limited access to premium AI features, and insufficient prompt literacy. The discussion highlights deeper pedagogical implications, particularly the shifting paradigm from “writing as creation” to “writing as collaboration,” emphasizing the lecturer’s role as mediator of ethical AI use. Psychological transformations also appear, where efficiency leads to dependency, forming a “comfort paradox” that threatens independent thinking and authorial identity. The study concludes with recommendations for institutional AI guidelines, AI literacy integration, equitable access, and pedagogical redesign to balance automation with originality.

Abstract

This initial study seeks to create a Metacognitive understanding Reading Questionnaire (MARQ) to evaluate university students' understanding of metacognitive methods in reading comprehension. The MARQ emphasises critical tactics including preparation, monitoring, and evaluation, which are vital for enhancing reading comprehension, especially in academic and assessment environments such as the TOEFL. The study used a qualitative method to assess the initial usefulness of the MARQ, highlighting its potential to guide treatments and improve students' metacognitive awareness and reading ability. Three experts were asked to validate the questionnaire; one expert to validate a construct validation sheet and two experts to validate the content validity sheet. The statements in validation sheets used a Likert-scale from a range of Strongly Agree and Strongly Disagree. The results from the experts were then described in percentages to obtain the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. It is recommended that the tool undergo more improvement for wider use. Integrating metacognitive strategy training into the academic curriculum may augment learning results, enhance reading efficiency, and elevate overall performance in high-stakes reading assessments.
