Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Quizizz, a gamified learning platform, in improving vocabulary proficiency among seventh-grade students at SMPN 14 Semarang. A quantitative experimental design was employed with 64 students, who were allocated into an experimental group instructed via Quizizz and a control group instructed using conventional techniques. Data were gathered by pre-test and post-test vocabulary evaluations, supplemented with a student questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the instrument were established (Pearson's correlation significance < 0.05; Cronbach's Alpha = 0.718). Data analysis utilizing SPSS 26 encompassed normality assessment, homogeneity evaluation, paired sample t-tests, and independent t-tests. The results indicated that both groups exhibited improvement; however, the experimental group attained more gains (mean improvement of 9.37 points) than the control group (8.12 points). Statistical analyses revealed significant differences (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05) favoring the Quizizz group. The effectiveness of Quizizz is due to its gamification features, immediate feedback, and alignment with adolescents' learning preferences. The study suggests that Quizizz is an effective and entertaining instrument for vocabulary acquisition; however, additional research with larger samples and extended duration is advised.

Abstract

This study investigated professional writing anxiety among English Education students at Pattimura University, examining anxiety levels, types, causes, and coping strategies in workplace communication contexts. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, 57 students completed adapted Professional Writing Anxiety Inventory and Professional Writing Anxiety Causes Inventory instruments, while 12 purposively selected participants engaged in semi-structured interviews. Results revealed moderate anxiety levels across the population (M = 3.17), with cognitive anxiety emerging as the dominant dimension (M = 3.47), followed by somatic anxiety (M = 3.32) and avoidance behavior (M = 2.73). Time pressure served as the primary trigger for somatic responses, with 66.6% of students experiencing heart palpitations during time-constrained professional writing tasks. Causal analysis identified insufficient practice in professional writing formats (M = 3.67), linguistic difficulties (M = 3.63), and time pressure concerns (M = 3.60) as primary contributing factors. Qualitative findings revealed four sophisticated coping strategies: systematic preparation and quality control, cognitive and environmental regulation, social support utilization, and emerging technology integration. The study demonstrates that professional writing contexts create distinct anxiety patterns compared to general academic writing, requiring specialized pedagogical approaches. These findings contribute theoretical understanding of context-specific anxiety manifestation while providing evidence-based guidance for Professional Writing curriculum development in Indonesian EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study explores university students’ perceptions on TikTok as a digital learning platform for English pronunciation, considering the increasing role of social media in language education. The research aimed to identify how students perceive the benefits and challenges of using TikTok to enhance pronunciation learning. A qualitative case study design was applied, and the data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with five undergraduate students from the English Language Education Department of a private university in Surabaya. The study revealed three key findings: TikTok is perceived as a flexible and engaging supplementary tool that supports autonomous and enjoyable learning; its visual and repetitive features effectively facilitate observation and imitation of accurate pronunciation; and students maintain critical awareness of content quality, frequently validating information through reliable sources. The study concludes that TikTok provides significant potential as an informal platform for pronunciation development, while also emphasizing the necessity of digital literacy to optimize its educational use.

Abstract

This study investigated senior high school EFL students’ perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) in English writing activities. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design with purposive sampling involving eight EFL students in Jombang Regency who had prior experience using AI. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed via Google Forms and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results revealed two main themes: Academic Writing Support and Usability and Accessibility. Students perceived AI as beneficial for generating ideas, improving grammar, enhancing sentence clarity, organizing writing structures, increasing writing efficiency, and boosting their writing confidence. They also considered AI tools easy to learn, accessible across devices, and suitable for self-directed learning, although minor technical issues and concerns about dependence were noted. Beyond extending the constructs of perceived usefulness and ease of use from the Technology Acceptance Model, the results highlighted AI’s role as both a cognitive and emotional support system in writing. The study concluded that AI functioned not only as a technical aid but also as a reflective learning partner, shaping students’ autonomy and identity as writers. These insights suggested that AI could be integrated effectively into English language learning, provided that it is used ethically and supported by pedagogical guidance.

Abstract

This study focuses on the exploration of trauma in the novel My Absolute Darling (2017) by Gabriel Tallent, specifically examining how traumatic events affect characters and their development. The research aims to analyze the portrayal and effects of trauma as depicted in the narrative, utilizing Cathy Caruth's trauma theory (1995) as a theoretical framework to understand the psychological implications of traumatic experiences. Employing a qualitative research method, the analysis is presented in a written format, emphasizing the intricate details of the characters' experiences. The findings reveal that trauma stems from various forms of violent behavior, including physical, sexual, and verbal abuse. Additionally, the effects of trauma manifest as intrusive thoughts, anxiety, arousal, avoidance, cognitive and negative feelings. In a conclusion, the study provides a deeper understanding of how trauma shapes narratives and influences character interactions.
