Abstract

This study aimed to describe the language learning strategies employed by two winners in preparing for an English speech competition at SMAN 1 Kediri. Employing a qualitative case study design, the study focused on the first- and second-place winners of the competition. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings revealed that the participants employed all six categories of language learning strategies proposed by Oxford (1990), namely memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies. Among these, cognitive and metacognitive strategies emerged as the most prominent, particularly in organizing ideas, monitoring practice, and enhancing speaking performance. These findings suggest that integrating various learning strategies helps students prepare effectively for English speech competitions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of AI-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to enhance students’ speaking confidence in English. The study employed a qualitative case study design involving senior high school students aged 15–18 years participating in the English Conversation Club (ECC). Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and documentation of students’ project videos and AI conversation transcripts. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to students’ speaking development and confidence improvement. The findings indicate that the use of AI-based PjBL contributed significantly to students’ speaking confidence by providing a supportive, interactive, and low-pressure learning environment. Students showed greater enthusiasm, improved pronunciation and fluency, and increased willingness to practice speaking English without fear of making mistakes. In addition, AI-based interaction enabled students to receive immediate feedback and to practice independently at their own pace. The study concludes that integrating AI into Project-Based Learning effectively fosters students’ speaking confidence and engagement. This research implies that AI-based PjBL can serve as an innovative approach to creating adaptive and student-centered English speaking instruction in senior high school contexts.

Abstract

This study examines how Indonesian pre-service English teachers invest in developing speaking competence and how such investment is mediated by identity, ideology, and capital. Drawing on a qualitative case study of two final-year teacher candidates, data were generated through interviews, observations, and collection of documents, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that investment is enacted through strategic engagement across formal, informal, and digital learning spaces, rather than through effort alone. Participants' investment is shaped by their emerging identities as future teachers, their negotiation of language ideologies, and their access to and mobilization of diverse forms of capital. The study argues that speaking development is inseparable from processes of professional becoming and social positioning. Highlighting alignment across identity, ideology, and capital, this current study extends the investment in language learning theory. This study also has implications for teacher education practices.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Padlet in peer assessment on students’ engagement in the English classroom. The researcher used experimental research with a quasi-experimental design. Therefore, the researcher determines the experimental and control groups without random assignment. Both groups consisted of 29 students, with the total sample for this research was 58 students from the eleventh grade of State Senior High School in Jombang, East Java, Indonesia. Questionnaires were given to students as the instrument of the research. The data analysis using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to answer the research question. The result showed that the significance value of media or Padlet is 0.436, which is higher than the Alpha value, 0.05. It means the Null Hypothesis (H0) is accepted and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is rejected. In other words, there is no significant difference in students’ engagement who are taught English using Padlet media and those who are not. Further, the initial conditions of engagement have a greater effect than the use of media (Padlet) on students’ engagement in the English classroom. The researcher suggests that future studies pay more attention to the initial conditions of student engagement and examine in greater depth factors other than media that may influence student engagement in English classroom.

Abstract

This research investigates the use of euphemisms in the vice-presidential debates during the 2024 general election in Indonesia. Through a qualitative case study approach, the study analyzes how vice-presidential candidates, including Gibran Rakabuming, Muhaimin Iskandar, and Mahfud MD, utilize various forms of euphemisms to influence public perception, avoid controversy, and effectively communicate their policies. The findings reveal that candidates frequently employ politeness euphemisms, understatement euphemisms, softening euphemisms, evasive euphemisms, and formality euphemisms. These linguistic strategies help candidates navigate sensitive topics, present their policies in a more favorable light, and maintain their credibility with the electorate. The strategic use of euphemisms highlights the importance of language in political communication and its impact on shaping public opinion.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly influenced academic writing practices, particularly through the use of chatbots by higher education students in writing final papers. However, concerns remain regarding their impact on students’ creativity, originality, and writing quality. This study investigated the perceptions of 53 higher education students from different universities toward the use of chatbots in writing English final papers. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected through a questionnaire covering five aspects: clarity, evidence-based writing, structure, cohesion and coherence, and referencing. The findings revealed generally positive perceptions of chatbot use. Students reported that chatbots helped improve clarity by reducing ambiguity and enhancing vocabulary choice. They also supported better organization, logical idea development, and stronger cohesion and coherence through grammar correction and improved argument flow. However, students expressed caution regarding the accuracy and credibility of AI-generated references and evidence-based content. Overall, chatbots were perceived as useful supplementary tools that can enhance academic writing when used responsibly. The study highlights the importance of AI literacy and critical evaluation skills in higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of patriarchy and how the main character resists it in the film Catherine Called Birdy (2022), directed by Lena Dunham. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. The participant is the main character, Birdy, whose experiences of patriarchy and resistance form the central focus of the analysis. Data were collected through repeated viewing of the film, followed by identification and classification of relevant dialogues and cinematographic elements. The data were then analyzed using Kate Millett’s theory of patriarchy from Sexual Politics (1970). The results show that patriarchy in the film operates through the authority of the father figure, who controls the body, decisions, and future of the main character. Women in the film are positioned as subordinate, treated as property, and expected to obey male authority. However, the study also finds that the main character actively resists this system through deliberate actions such as hiding signs of adulthood, refusing suitors, and behaving outside the standards expected of her. This study concludes that patriarchy is not a natural system but a social construct that can be recognized and challenged, and that Millett’s theory remains a relevant framework for analyzing gender power dynamics in contemporary film. This study contributes to the field of gender studies and film analysis by demonstrating that Millett’s (1970) theory of patriarchy remains a relevant and effective framework for reading gender power dynamics in contemporary cinema, and by showing that resistance can emerge from positions of powerlessness through everyday acts of deliberate defiance.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is an essential skill in English language learning because it enables students to understand, interpret, and construct meaning from written texts. However, despite its importance, evidence regarding the use of Educaplay to teach reading comprehension in Indonesian senior high schools remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of Educaplay on students’ reading comprehension. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed with 34 tenth-grade students of Senior High School 1 Gurah. Data were collected using a 30-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test on exposition texts, administered before and after the treatment. The treatment was conducted over three meetings using Educaplay activities: Matching Pairs, Quiz, and Froggy Jump. The data were analyzed through normality test, paired sample statistics and paired-samples t-test. Results showed a mean score of 69.68 on the pretest and 79.21 on the posttest. A paired-samples t-test showed a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < .001). These findings show that Educaplay can help students develop reading comprehension. Thus, Educaplay may be useful for improving students’ reading comprehension of exposition texts.
