Abstract

This study investigates how English department students perceive the use of social media for learning English. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collected through questionnaires and structured interviews. A total of 88 students from several universities in Indonesia completed a 22-item questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, and three of these respondents were selected for follow-up interviews conducted via WhatsApp. Questionnaire responses were analyzed statistically, while interview data were examined using Miles and Huberman’s flow model. The findings indicate that students generally hold positive perceptions of using social media to support independent English learning. YouTube was identified as the most frequently used platform. Students reported that social media helps improve their comprehension, vocabulary development, and pronunciation, and described the experience as enjoyable and motivating beyond the classroom setting. Despite these benefits, students also encountered obstacles such as poor internet connectivity, concerns over data privacy, and exposure to inappropriate content.

Abstract

Finding ideas to write about is a common challenge for many EFL learners in developing their writing skills. This study aimed to investigate whether writing about daily activities (i.e., journaling) improves the writing ability of EFL students at a junior high school in Aceh Tengah. A quantitative, experimental research design was employed. The sample consisted of 46 eighth-grade students, with 22 in the experimental group and 24 in the control group. Pre- and post-tests were used to measure the students’ performance before and after the intervention. Results showed that the experimental group’s mean score increased significantly from 48 (pre-test) to 82 (post-test). A t-test analysis revealed that t(44) = 4.92, p < .05, indicating a significant difference between the groups. This result suggests that journaling practice had a statistically significant positive effect on the EFL students’ writing ability.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study investigates pronunciation errors in Indonesian nasal consonants made by native Arabic speakers. Using a reading elicitation technique, data were collected focusing on the pronunciation of the nasal consonants /ŋ/ and /ɲ/, which were then transcribed using International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols. The analysis involved identifying distinctive features of sounds within the nasal segment when errors occurred. The results revealed a consistent pattern of assimilation, with changes notably influenced by surrounding sounds. Velar nasals underwent assimilation influenced by both vowels and consonants, resulting in substitutions such as /ʔ/, /ɢ/, and /n/. In contrast, palatal nasals showed assimilation primarily influenced by adjacent vowels, leading to alterations represented by /ʔ/ and /ɲj/. These findings highlight the systematic nature of phonological errors in the pronunciation of nasal consonants by Arabic speakers learning Indonesian and offer valuable insights for language instructors and researchers in the field of second language acquisition.

Abstract

This study investigates the strategies employed by participants to assert dominance in a legal discussion featured in the YouTube video “Janggalnya Kasus Vina Menyasar ke Mana-mana.” Adopting an ethnomethodological approach grounded in Conversation Analysis (CA), the study identifies key dominance strategies, including turn-taking control, interruptions, overlaps, topic shifting, and assertive language use. These strategies serve as critical tools for establishing dominance in high-stakes interactions such as legal debates. The analysis utilized the Jefferson Transcription System to examine how conversational control influences the progression and outcomes of legal discussions. Findings indicate that legal practitioners with institutional authority, expertise, or professional standing assert dominance through assertive language, strategic questioning, and frequent interruptions, while other participants assume less dominant roles. The study contributes to understanding how interactional dominance operates in formal legal settings, where institutional status and expertise often outweigh previously emphasized factors such as gender. These insights have practical implications for legal and communication professionals navigating power dynamics in formal discourse.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the learning obstacles experienced by eighth-grade students at a Madrasah Tsanawiyah in studying the topic of al-Afʿāl al-Muʿrabāt. A qualitative approach was employed using the Didactical Design Research (DDR) method. Participants included 47 students and one Arabic teacher. Data were collected through tests and non-test instruments, including in-depth interviews. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s framework, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students experienced both ontogenic and epistemological obstacles. Ontogenic obstacles included psychological factors (such as low motivation and interest) and instrumental difficulties, with technical incomprehension being the primary challenge. These findings suggest the need for instructional solutions. The study recommends the development of a DDR-based learning design tailored to students’ needs and informed by the identified learning obstacles.
