Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, asynchronous online learning has emerged as a significant model, offering students the flexibility to access materials and lectures at their convenience. This research aimed to delve deeper into students' perceptions of the benefits of the asynchronous online learning model at Institut Parahikma Indonesia, a prominent educational institution. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach complemented by a phenomenological design, the study sought to capture the lived experiences and nuanced views of students regarding this learning model. Data were meticulously gathered through semi-structured interviews, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of students' perspectives. A total of seven respondents participated, comprising three males and four females from Institut Parahikma Indonesia. These participants were selected using a convenience sampling method, providing a diverse range of insights. The findings of this study were illuminating. Students predominantly perceived the asynchronous learning model as beneficial, highlighting aspects such as motivated learning, insightful experiences, flexibility in managing their time, and the advantage of accessing easier-to-understand material. They appreciated the ability to learn at their own pace, revisit lectures, and balance their studies with other commitments. However, it's noteworthy that not all feedback was overwhelmingly positive. A segment of students expressed a longing for direct, synchronous interactions, indicating a preference for traditional learning dynamics. The present study offers a fresh perspective on the asynchronous online learning model, emphasizing its benefits while also shedding light on areas of potential improvement. The insights garnered hold significant implications for educational institutions, policymakers, and educators, urging them to consider a more blended approach that caters to the diverse needs of students.

Abstract

Writing, as a fundamental skill in language acquisition, is intrinsically linked with grammar. For English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, especially those from linguistically diverse backgrounds like Indonesia, mastering grammar is both crucial and challenging. While the significance of grammar in writing is well-documented, there is a noticeable gap in research focusing on the specific needs and challenges of Indonesian EFL students. This study aimed to investigate the impact of explicit grammar instruction on the academic writing skills of Indonesian EFL students. It sought to identify specific grammatical challenges faced by these students, assess the effectiveness of targeted grammar instruction, and understand the strategies employed by learners to navigate these challenges. A qualitative research approach was employed, with purposive sampling selecting seven active grammar class attendees from the 6th semester of ABA UMI. Data collection instruments included observations, open interviews, writing tests, and documentation review. An interactive model of analysis was used for data interpretation. Preliminary results indicate that while all participants had foundational grammar knowledge, challenges persisted, especially with certain verb tenses. Explicit grammar instruction showed positive impacts on their writing skills, with real-world tasks enhancing the applicability of learned grammar. Participants also showcased diverse strategies to overcome grammatical challenges, underscoring the need for flexible instructional approaches. Explicit grammar instruction plays a pivotal role in enhancing the academic writing skills of Indonesian EFL students. Recognizing specific challenges and aligning instruction with real-world tasks can further optimize learning outcomes. This study offers valuable insights for educators, curriculum designers, and EFL learners, emphasizing the need for targeted, context-specific grammar instruction.

Abstract

This study investigates the novel application of comic strips as a pedagogical tool to enhance speaking skills among EFL students in a junior high school setting, with a thematic focus on "Celebrating Independence Day." Drawing from a sample of students from VIII.1 class of UPT SPF SMPN 23 Makassar, the research employed pre-test and post-test measures to gauge the impact of comic strips on speaking proficiency. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' speaking skills, with the post-test mean score (76.75) surpassing the pre-test mean score (57.02). This increase, backed by a P-value of 0.000, which is smaller than the chosen significance level (α) of 0.05, underscores the efficacy of comic strips as an innovative teaching tool. The results not only highlight the potential of comic strips in EFL instruction but also emphasize the added value of integrating cultural themes into language learning for a richer, more contextualized experience.

Abstract

Lexemic idioms refer to phrases or expressions that possess a distinct meaning that surpasses the literal interpretation of their constituent words. This study examines the lexemic idioms present in the lyrics of songs from Taylor Swift's Evermore album. This study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology, drawing on Makkai's (1972: 135-178) theoretical framework, which categorizes idioms into two distinct types: lexemic and sememic idioms. The concept of lexemic idiom can be classified into six distinct types. The topic of discussion pertains to phrasal verbs and idiomatic expressions. Idiomatic expressions... The concept of irreversible binominal idioms is being discussed. The topic under consideration pertains to phrasal compound idioms. Utilizing verb idioms… The objective of this study is to identify and analyze the many types of lexemic idioms included in the lyrics of the record, with the aim of determining their respective meanings. The objective of this analysis is to elucidate the proficient utilization of idiomatic expressions by Taylor Swift in effectively conveying her thematic and emotional intentions, encompassing the realms of love, grief, nostalgia, and hope. The study yielded a total of 95 lexemic idioms, which have been categorized based on their respective types and forms. The distribution of idioms in the given text is as follows: 14 idioms of phrasal verbs (14.74%), 45 idioms of tournure (47.37%), 8 idioms of irreversible binomials (8.42%), 23 idioms of phrasal compounds (24.21%), and 5 idioms incorporating verbs (5.26%). No instances of pseudo-idioms were identified within the song lyrics of Taylor Swift's album evermore. The predominant categories of lexemic idioms in the lyrics of Taylor Swift's songs on the evermore album, when considering the percentage of the entire data, indicate that tournure idioms exhibit the most dominance compared to other types. Furthermore, the study's implications for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy introduce an innovative approach to teaching, suggesting the integration of popular song lyrics for a more holistic language learning experience. This research not only contributes a fresh perspective to the field of linguistics but also underscores the profound impact of idiomatic expressions on language, culture, and emotion.

Abstract

This study explores lecturers' perspectives on Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in an Islamic university in South Sulawesi, focusing on its effectiveness in enhancing student competencies, skill development, and knowledge retention. Using a survey method, data were collected from 20 lecturers representing various disciplines, including English Literature, Indonesian Literature, Arabic Literature, Communication Studies, and Language Education programs. The results show a strong consensus (90%) in favor of TBLT, particularly regarding its role in fostering linguistic competence, cognitive skills, and student engagement. Lecturers overwhelmingly agree that task repetition and assignments before, during, and after class are effective in promoting long-term memory retention and real-world application of language skills. However, some nuanced perspectives on task timing and classification indicate areas for further research and refinement in TBLT implementation. Overall, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on task-based approaches in higher education, offering practical insights into its pedagogical benefits and challenges.

Abstract

This study explores the factors contributing to students' difficulties in achieving effective English learning at the Muslim University of Indonesia (UMI) and identifies strategies to overcome these challenges. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive research design, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation with five fifth-semester students from the English Department. The findings reveal six critical barriers: lack of practice, vocabulary deficiency, environmental factors, lack of interest, low self-confidence, and pronunciation challenges. These factors significantly hinder students' English language proficiency, which is essential for their academic and professional success. The study suggests targeted interventions, including increasing practice opportunities, enhancing vocabulary instruction, creating supportive learning environments, tailoring materials to students' interests, building confidence, and improving pronunciation practice. The implications of these findings highlight the need for comprehensive and context-specific strategies in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. Future research should further investigate these areas, considering alternative interpretations and the long-term impact of these factors on language proficiency. By addressing these challenges, educators and policymakers can enhance English language education and support students in achieving their full potential.
