Both of male and female students  produced fillers in order to fill pause, to hesitate, to hold conversation turn, to emphatize, to mitigate, to intterupt, and to edit their speech error. All those function of fillers proposed by Strenstrom were used by male and female students in their talks . In addition, Filling pause was the most frequently function used by male and female students, followed by fillers as a mark of hesitation. Thus,  there were similiarities both in types and functions used by male and female students. However, the researcher found female students produced more fillers than men did. This maybe due to women tend to speak less certainty compared to male

Abstract

Motivation has been long believed to be an essential contributor to students’ success in learning English. Many studies (e.g., Gbollie & Keamu, 2017; Wang, 2008; Zhang & Xiao, 2006) have been dedicated to investigating the relationship between motivation and success in learning English. While these studies have contributed to shedding light on the importance of motivation on students’ achievement in learning English, insufficient research has been conducted to address the concept of motivation itself, how the concept has evolved since the first time it was developed, and to what extent motivation affects both teachers and students’ performances at school. Owing to this fact, the present article seeks to discuss the notion and conceptualization of motivation by following several steps. First, the present paper took on arguments from prominent figures on the field of motivation to explore the essence of motivation and why it is essential for English as second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) learning. The conversation then built on the current theoretical framework of types and factors influencing student and teacher motivation. Following that, a plethora of discussions on the possible ways to increase student and teacher enthusiasm and motivation inside EFL classrooms were elaborated

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Emancipated Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, focusing on the alignment between teaching syllabi and the curriculum’s pedagogical vision. The objective of this research is to evaluate the design and structure of teaching syllabi prepared by English teachers, particularly in terms of instructional strategies, assessment practices, and learner-centred approaches. Employing a qualitative method with a case study approach, data were gathered through document analysis of syllabi developed by ten English teachers and supported by semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis and coding were used to interpret the findings. The results reveal several strengths, including the integration of diverse teaching methods and relevant learning resources. However, the study also identifies notable challenges such as limited interactive classroom activities and a lack of differentiation to support diverse learner needs. The conclusion emphasizes that while the emancipated curriculum holds substantial potential for transforming EFL instruction, its effective implementation requires ongoing teacher development, collaborative planning, and contextual adaptation to ensure its long-term success.

Abstract

The discussion section is the portion of the thesis that presents the research findings by demonstrating an in- depth understanding of the findings, interpreting the findings, and emphasizing their contribution to current knowledge. Additionally, the discussion section is the most difficult component of the thesis. This study sought to identify the most prevalent grammatical errors and their causes in the discussion sections of theses written by English Education postgraduate students at the University of Bengkulu. This study analyzed its data using a mixed methodology. The majority of grammatical problems were investigated quantitatively, while their causes were investigated qualitatively. This study's corpus consisted of thirty master's theses written by English postgraduates who graduated in 2021. The findings revealed that incorrect verbs comprised 65.4%, or 121, of the grammatical errors found in the discussion section of the thesis. These errors were dominated by tense confusion and subject-verb agreement. First-language interference caused the grammatical errors found in the discussion section of the thesis. This study's conclusion provides information about the most common grammatical errors and their possible causes in the thesis discussion section in order to raise the writer's awareness of the significance of grammatical writing in this section.
