Abstract

This research analyzed speech acts that were uttered in the Validation short film. This study used pragmatics analysis to consider problems in English language learning, focusing on speech acts. This study aimed to classify the speech act in the Validation short film based on Searle's theory and the types of speech acts used in the Validation short film. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The data used in this research included all of the utterances performed in the movie. The data analysis used a pragmatic approach based on Searle's theory. According to the theory, there are five classifications of speech act: representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. Searle discusses two types of speech acts: direct and indirect. It was found that the characters engaged in various classifications of speech acts, including representative, directive, commissive, and expressive. Notably, directive speech acts emerged as the most prevalent form employed by the characters. Additionally, direct speech acts were more frequently utilized than indirect ones. Future researchers are expected to conduct such research to analyze other aspects of pragmatics

Abstract

Academic boredom is a primary emotion that negatively impacts learners' engagement, including in English classes at school. This study employed a descriptive and comparative quantitative approach to explore engagement levels in practical English classes among 76 secondary and high school students in Kerinci, Jambi, Indonesia. An adapted questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms through WhatsApp groups, and the collected data were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics. The results indicate that students experience the highest levels of boredom in class-related aspects (2.33), followed by boredom proneness (2.28) and study-related aspects (2.12). Both middle and high school students learning English had significant boredom levels. The boredom proneness (P) aspect, particularly P4, revealed a notable difference between these groups.In contrast, the class-related (C) and study-related (S) aspects showed no significant differences. The Academic Boredom Survey Instrument proved to be a valuable tool for assessing student engagement, particularly in the context of academic boredom research. These findings offer educators insights into tailoring teaching methods and curricula to mitigate academic boredom among secondary and high school students.

Abstract

The rise of digital devices and content consumption has reshaped reading habits, potentially influencing the development of early reading skills. However, limited research addresses cognitive competencies in digital English reading, which enable readers to process, comprehend, and retain information online. This study aimed to investigate the presence of cognitive competencies in digital English reading materials and the challenges in developing them. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted, excluding 47 articles and including 15 based on research criteria. Findings indicate that while cognitive competencies—such as critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and innovation, situation analysis, decision-making, and pattern recognition—are integrated into English reading materials, they require further development in digital contexts. The study also identified challenges in developing cognitive competence, including cognitive load, material and pedagogical design, teacher and student expectations, technology and digital literacy, feedback and assessment, information overload, interdisciplinary and critical thinking skills, and the nature of literacy. Understanding the integration of cognitive competencies into digital resources is crucial for educators and stakeholders, as it aids in optimizing language learning experiences and developing targeted solutions to enhance language learning tools and strategies.

Abstract

Textbook evaluation is crucial and necessary to conform the textbook's organization material with the student's needs. This compatibility in choosing a textbook could improve language practice. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate a textbook used at Senior High School in the Cililin District, West Java, based on its conformity with the students' needs. This study used a descriptive qualitative study in which content analysis was applied. In analyzing the data, this study combined two frameworks, Cohen (1988) and Forsten et al. (2002). The data were collected by using a checklist and numerical rating. Additional data were gathered through interviews to investigate the students' needs. The results showed that the textbook has 76% relevancy to meet students' needs. It has strengths in rationale, availability, value of money, and extended activities regarding students' critical thinking skills.Meanwhile, the book has a weakness regarding cultural bias or value for students. The comments from the teacher and students were relevant, and the results revealed a lack of technical and visual support. For further direction, this study can be used as benchmarking and product development in textbook publication and material selection.

Abstract

This phenomenological study explores the integration of AI tools in teaching English writing in rural Central Aceh, offering insights into the educators’ challenges and adaptive strategies. Amidst the global push towards digital education, rural areas often lag behind due to infrastructural deficits and limited access to advanced technological resources. This study aims to understand how AI tools are being utilized by teachers in such contexts to improve English writing skills. Conducted through semi-structured interviews with three high school teachers, the study employs a thematic analysis to uncover how educators navigate the complexities of using AI tools like ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Quillbot under constrained conditions. Key challenges identified include limited technological infrastructure, absence of formal training, and diverse student proficiency with technology. Despite these challenges, teachers have adopted innovative strategies such as shared computer time, collaborative learning, self-learning initiatives, and leveraging community support networks. The findings highlight the resilience and adaptability of educators in underserved regions, suggesting that enhancing technological infrastructure, providing targeted professional development, and developing user-friendly AI tools are crucial for bridging the educational divide. The study calls for a balanced approach to integrating AI in education, ensuring that it complements traditional teaching methods and fosters inclusive learning environments.

Abstract

Vocabulary plays an important role in mastering language. Many students have low capability in vocabulary mastery. In this research, the authors aim to improve students' vocabulary mastery by teaching the students through a modified semantics mapping strategy based on an interactive approach. The authors employed quantitative research with an experimental design. The subjects of this research were the second-grade students of SMPN 37 Bandar Lampung. A vocabulary test is used as the instrument of this research. The data were obtained from the pre-test and post-test. Independent group t-test in SPSS was used to analyze the data. The results show a statistically significant difference in vocabulary achievement between the experimental and control classes. It is revealed from the t-value, which is higher than the t-table with a significance level of less than 0.05 (9.865>2.005) (0.000<0.05). As a result, the hypothesis is accepted. This indicates that a modified semantic mapping strategy is better than a semantic mapping strategy in enhancing students' vocabulary achievement. Furthermore, using a modified Semantics Mapping Strategy based on teaching vocabulary is more effective in encouraging students to be involved in teaching-learning activities than using Semantics Mapping Strategy.

Abstract

An accent is one of the aspects of sociolinguistics that discusses how a group of people in each particular region pronounces words. In communication, accent is the color and variety in speech. People often do not pay much attention to this when speaking. This research aims to know the students’ attitudes toward the American accent in the context of communication at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. The method used was mixed, using questionnaires and interviews as the instruments. Twenty students served as samples in this research. Based on cognitive, affective, and conative components, the findings demonstrated that students had a positive attitude towards American accents. In the cognitive component, students tended to believe that speaking with an American accent was easy and enjoyable because they were accustomed to speaking in English daily. Meanwhile, most students expressed interest in speaking with an American accent in the affective component due to its ease of use. In the conative component, the students then seemed to enjoy imitating the way Native American speakers spoke. The implication of this research is in sociolinguistics regarding attitude and intercultural communication related to accents.

Abstract

Numerous studies have been conducted on Google Forms; however, there has yet to be research that explores the relationship between the impact of Google Forms and the development of tense proficiency among university students when learning the English language. The purpose of this research is to determine whether there is an impact on students' improvement of their mastery of tenses in English when given practice tests in the form of Google Forms. This research utilized an experimental quantitative method to observe the impact of practice tests in Google Forms after a pre-test and before a post-test. The study employed 35 undergraduate students majoring in Management at Immanuel Christian University. Initial data from the pre-test was collected before the exercises in Google Forms were given, and final data from the post-test was collected after the exercises in Google Forms were administered. These data were then tested for normality. Since the data did not have a normal distribution, they were tested using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Additionally, the data were analyzed using the N-Gain score test. Based on the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test with a probability value less than 0.05, the effect of providing exercises in Google Forms on improving understanding tenses in English was seen. Furthermore, the N-Gain test results showed high scores and effective percentages, proving that the practice test method in Google Forms effectively enhances non-English major students' understanding of tenses in English.   Consequently, English language instructors can implement the method of practice tests on Google Forms in their teaching. For future research, it can be investigated whether there is a significant difference in English tense mastery between students who receive practice tests on Google Forms and those who do not.
