Abstract

This researched applied qualitative research to investigate the usage of communication strategies by the students and the context they were used. It was conducted at SMAS Unggulan Harapan Ummat by involving the tenth-grade students of Cambridge Curriculum class as the research subjects. The students’ utterances that contained the usage of communication strategies were the data analyzed in this research. In collecting data, the researcher used observation and recording. It was found that the type of communication strategy most often used by the students was stalling or time gaining strategy. The employment of communication strategies in this research was caused by lack of topic understanding, lack of vocabularies, and lack of grammar or utterances composing. The results of this research could be used as a reflection to determine a suitable method to help students improve their English skills, especially speaking skill. So that students do not depend on the usage of communication strategies to overcome the difficulties in speaking.

Abstract

The strategic integration of digital technologies into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction has emerged as a critical dimension of pedagogical competence, particularly in vocational education settings where contextualized language learning is essential. This study investigates the digital pedagogical practices of an ESP teacher at a state vocational high school in Indonesia, framed by the National Teacher Competency Standards (Permendiknas No. 16/2007), specifically Standard 5, which emphasizes the effective utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through systematic classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the teacher demonstrated consistent and deliberate integration of digital technologies across all phases of instruction—including lesson planning, delivery, and assessment—using a range of tools such as mobile learning applications, interactive multimedia, and online evaluation platforms. The teacher’s approach was marked by a strong alignment between digital strategies and students' vocational profiles, resulting in increased learner engagement and contextual relevance. This study contributes to the growing discourse on digital pedagogy in ESP by providing empirical insights into how individual teacher can leverage technology not merely as an instructional aid, but as a transformative tool to support vocationally aligned, learner-centered education. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of targeted professional development in digital pedagogy that bridges technical skill and pedagogical depth, particularly for ESP practitioners in vocational education contexts

Influencers had their power through their words to the followers which can be analysed from the speech acts on their social media accounts. Then, this study focused on the illocutionary speech acts from a TikTok influencer who can be addressed as one of the LGBTQIA+ community, and how the gesture and speech can affect the polarisation of information to the digital society by using the descriptive qualitative method. Illocutionary speech acts is one of the pragmatics focuses, which analyse the meaning of speech based on the context. Furthermore, LGBTQIA+ issue was not a new thing, because this issue has been spreading and growing wild these days.

Abstract

The present study is a Corpus-based research which analyzes the translation of Body-Related Metaphors in the Holy Koran by Yusuf Ali, Marmaduke Pickthal and Thomas Irving, within the framework of Peter Newmark’s procedures of metaphor translation. The data analyzed consists of a sample of 107 words and phrases which are categorized as: metaphors of ear, eye, face, and hand. Out of the seven procedures proposed by Newmark for translating metaphors, the translators applied five procedures. None of the translators applied Newmark’s fourth or sixth procedure and no new procedure was observed. The results reveal that among 107 metaphors examined, there is a general tendency (57.94%) towards reproducing the same image in the TL, and the three translators translated 68 metaphors (63.55%) using similar procedures. This study concludes that the likely and the most frequent metaphor translation procedures in the Holy Koran are: (1), to reproduce the same image in the TL, Newmark’s first procedure; and (2), to convert metaphor to sense (literal meaning), Newmark’s fifth procedure.

Abstract

Schemata refer to all kinds of knowledge which are gained throughout the lifetime. Few studies tried to integrate schema theory and the next two crucial factors in translation and learning which are vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension. Thus, the present research aimed at delineating the potential effect of these three factors on translation performance of Iranian undergraduate students majoring in translator training. To this end, 172 Iranian undergraduate students majoring in translator training were selected based on two-step cluster sampling. To collect data, the participants answered a set of 6 open-ended questions to measure the students’ content schema along with a vocabulary size test, reading comprehension test, and translation task. To analyze data, Pearson correlation coefficient as well as stepwise multiple regressions was conducted through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17. Data analysis indicated that the independent variables significantly correlated with translation performance. In addition, multiple regressions analysis specified reading comprehension as the main contributing variable and content schema as the second in students’ translation performance. It also showed that vocabulary knowledge could not be a predicting factor in translation performance of the learners; the reason may refer to the inseparable component of their translation task that is dictionary. The results highlighted the role of content schema in translation performance of the learners.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of interactionist dynamic assessment on improving academic persuasive writing of two Iranian EFL learners majoring in English Language and Literature. Qualitative analysis of the interactions between the mediator and learners and the drafts written by the learners indicated that using different types of mediation were effective in developing learners’ persuasive writing. In addition to the factors such as individual, time, and language feature which were shown to be integral in determining mediation, assessment of the two cases showed that factors such as mediator’s role, learners’ responsiveness to mediation, and agency were important in specifying mediation.

Abstract

There are strong shreds of evidence that the choice of instructional materials has large effects on students’ achievement. This study was to assess the efficacy of using ELT research papers as authentic materials in teaching research-based article writing. This study was aimed at revealing whether or not there is a significant difference in students’ writing skill in terms of ELT research paper writing between the students who were taught by using ELT research papers as authentic materials and those who were taught by using textbook materials provided by the faculty. This study belongs to a quasi-experimental study with an experimental and control group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study was 75 students from the fourth semester of English Education Study Program of IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia. The sample was selected through cluster random sampling and consisted of 50 students that were divided into two groups. The instrument used to collect the data was a writing test. Consequently, normality and homogeneity of the data were tested. A t-test was used to compare the mean of the two groups. The hypothesis was designed and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that there is a significant difference in students’ academic writing skill between the students who were taught by using the ELT research papers as authentic materials and those who were taught by using textbook materials. The t-test revealed that t-value is higher than t-table (6.07>2.01). Therefore it is concluded that the authentic instructional materials could significantly improve students’ academic writing skill.
