Abstract

Despite existing research on the implementation of the Independent learning- independent campus (MBKM) program, limited attention has been given to the experiences of EFL learners participating in the student exchange and entrepreneurship programs. To fill this gap, this study aims to explore the perceptions and experiences of EFL learners participating in the MBKM program. Utilizing a case study design, data were gathered from four EFL learners at a university in Indonesia. Interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis aided by computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS), MAXQDA. The findings reveal that the EFL learners exhibited a highly positive attitude toward the program. The findings also indicated that the EFL learners perceive the MBKM program favorably due to its diverse benefits, including opportunities to study at other universities and entrepreneurship skill development. Challenges identified include issues related to fund distribution from the government, as well as culture shock and homesickness. This study informs policy and practice to enhance support for MBKM participation and maximize its benefits.

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions and experiences of English education students regarding vocabulary mastery, with a focus on the strategies they employ, the challenges they encounter as well as how they overcome those challenges. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive design, the research captures detailed and nuanced insights into participants’ perceptions and experiences. Ten undergraduate students majoring in English Education were purposefully selected as participants to provide in-depth perspectives. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, which encouraged open discussions while addressing themes closely aligned with the research objectives. This study reveals that students face challenges in memorization, contextual usage, retention, and motivation. To overcome these challenges, they employ strategies such as repetition, using vocabulary in meaningful contexts, and incorporating multimedia resources. Additionally, students reported using fun and interactive methods, like songs and movies, to stay motivated and engaged. The findings highlight the importance of regular practice, contextual learning, and engaging methods to improve vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

The vocabulary mastery of students at SMP Negeri 1 Blangpidie remains poor. To address this issue, this study investigates the effectiveness of the Pictionary game in enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery. An experimental method was employed in this study. The subjects of this study were 28 students (12 are boys and 16 are girls) from class VII.B at SMP Negeri 1 Blangpidie. The data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed by using a paired-sample t-test to see the improvements in students’ vocabulary mastery after treatment. The findings showed that the use of Pictionary card games significantly improves students' vocabulary mastery, as indicated by an increase in the mean scores from 46 in the pre-test to 63 in the post-test. In addition, the data from the pair sample T-test revealed that  t-score of 9.48 with a significance level of 0.000. Since the significance value (sig) is 0.000, which is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Pictionary game is effective in improving students’ vocabulary. This means that the use of the Pictionary game is recommended to be applied in teaching vocabulary.

Abstract

Politeness strategies play a crucial role in maintaining social harmony and effective communication, particularly in language learning settings. Some studies have explored the use of politeness strategies in EFL offline classes, emphasizing their role in fostering interaction between students and instructors. However, few studies have focused on online interaction in the context of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context. This study investigates and analyzes the types and functions of politeness strategies produced by ESP students and a lecturer in online interaction via WhatsApp group. The participants were sophomore accounting students at a private university in Banten. Their use of politeness strategies in requesting assignments, seeking confirmation, and other academic interactions was analyzed using Brown and Levinson’s politeness strategy framework. The results revealed that: (1) positive politeness strategies were most frequently used in the WhatsApp interaction, and (2) these strategies contributed to fostering harmonious relationships and minimizing conflict in online communication. The findings highlight the importance of developing pragmatic awareness in online interaction, and guide future research to investigate politeness in different contexts.

Abstract

As writing proficiency is essential for academic success, integrating technology such as Grammarly has gained attention as a potential tool for improving students’ writing skills. This study investigates the impact of using Grammarly to enhance the writing quality of ninth-grade Junior High School students. This study used a pre-experimental design at a private junior high school in Sidoarjo. The sample included ICO ninth-grade students.  The study used an essay writing test (pretest and posttest) as its research instrument. Since the normality test indicated non-normal data distribution, the Wilcoxon Rank Test was used to compare pretest and posttest scores. The Wilcoxon test yielded a two-tailed Asymp. Sig result of 0.000. Since this value is lower than 0.05, the findings support the hypothesis that Grammarly enhances students' writing quality. The findings from this study reveal a general improvement in students' writing skills across all five evaluated aspects: Content, Organization, Vocabulary, Language Use, and Mechanics. This research also provides recommendations for teachers and students to consider integrating technology such as Grammarly in teaching writing to achieve better learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the types of code-switching as categorized by Poplack and analyzes their functions in the context of online language teaching. Employing a qualitative approach, the study utilized classroom observations and teacher interviews to investigate the types and functions of code-switching. Five recorded online English lessons were analyzed to identify patterns of code-switching, and a semi-structured interview with the teacher provided insights into the rationale behind its use. Findings revealed that intra-sentential code-switching was the most frequently used, followed by inter-sentential and tag-switching. In addition to these patterns, the study also identifies their main functions. The primary functions of code-switching include facilitating curriculum access, managing the classroom, and fostering interpersonal connection. While these findings align with Alghasab’s framework, some instances fall outside these categories suggesting the presence of additional functions that require further investigation. These findings indicate that code-switching serves a broader range of pedagogical purposes in virtual classrooms, highlighting the need for further exploration.

Abstract

This study investigates teacher autonomy in the English departments of universities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, focusing on three objectives: (1) assessing the overall degree of teacher autonomy, (2) examining differences in autonomy based on gender and teaching experience, and (3) identifying institutional, cultural, and political factors influencing professional decision-making. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative design, the research employed the Teacher Autonomy Perception Scale (TAPS), a 20-item questionnaire rated on a 5-point Likert scale, covering curriculum design, classroom management, assessment, and professional development. Data were collected from 76 educators at Salahaddin University Erbil and Jihan Private University Erbil to ensure diversity in demographic factors. Statistical analysis, including one-sample t-tests, independent t-tests, and one-way ANOVA, revealed that overall teacher autonomy scores significantly exceeded the expected benchmark. Male educators reported notably higher autonomy levels than female educators, highlighting gender-based disparities, while no significant differences emerged between institutions or across teaching experience groups. The findings underscore the impact of institutional policies and cultural norms on teacher autonomy and stress the need for gender-sensitive policies and professional development initiatives, offering valuable insights for future educational reforms in the Kurdistan Region.
