Abstract

This study examines the views of pre-service English teachers regarding the use of English as the primary language of instruction in Indonesian EFL settings. The research is based on Krashen’s Input Hypothesis and theories related to teacher cognition, focusing on the difficulties of maintaining a balance between comprehensible input and the use of the first language as a support. Using a phenomenological approach as outlined by Moustakas (1994), the study gathered data through semi-structured interviews and classroom microteaching observations with six pre-service teachers at UIN Palangka Raya. The results identify three primary approaches: (1) full immersion in English, (2) clarification through code-switching, and (3) reliance on Indonesian for understanding. These perspectives are influenced by the participants’ previous experiences, confidence in teaching, and the practical conditions of the classroom. The research indicates that while immersion is seen as beneficial for developing language habits, the strategic use of Indonesian is still important for ensuring understanding and managing the classroom. The findings offer insights for teacher education programs in helping future teachers make appropriate and context-appropriate language choices in their instruction.

Abstract

This study investigated the differences in speaking skills between students with high and low levels of neuroticism using a sequential explanatory mixed methods design with comparative approach. The research involved 41 senior high school students from SMA Muhammadiyah Batam who completed neuroticism assessments using adapted NEO-FFI questionnaire and speaking performance tests. Quantitative analysis through Independent Sample T-Test revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) in speaking scores between high and low neuroticism groups, with low neuroticism students achieving higher performance. Qualitative interviews with selected participants were analyzed using thematic analysis, revealing three main themes: speaking anxiety, coping strategies, and motivation and learning attitudes. While low neuroticism students employed a variety of informal methods of learning and reacted positively to feedback, high neuroticism students showed more speaking anxiety, employed less efficient methods of preparation, and had more self-doubt. These results have practical implications for EFL teacher and advance our understanding of the links between personality and language learning within the Big Five framework. The findings highlight how crucial it is to take individual personality characteristics into consideration when creating speaking curriculum and putting classroom strategies into practice in order to maximize learning outcomes for each individuals.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of circumlocution in Indonesian–English student translations. Circumlocution, defined as the unnecessary use of repetitive or wordy expressions, often appears when learners translate directly from Indonesian into English, producing texts that are redundant and less communicative. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, 20 translation samples from senior high school students were analyzed to identify types of circumlocution, propose revisions through sentence-combining strategies, and explain possible causes. Four major patterns were found: repetition of words, repetition of phrases, repetition of clauses, and verbose sentences. The analysis shows that circumlocution is influenced by limited vocabulary, transfer from Indonesian discourse norms, restricted syntactic repertoire, and the pressure of timed translation tasks. By reconstructing circumlocution into concise alternatives, this study provides insights into both translation pedagogy and EFL writing instruction. The findings emphasize the importance of training students in economy of expression to produce clearer and more natural English translations.
