Abstract

The problem identified in this study is that the majority of students expressed difficulty in using vocabulary appropriately, especially in distinguishing nuances of meaning between vocabulary that have the same meaning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the Language Day Program on students' vocabulary mastery in Islamic universities in Lampung by examining internal and external factors and knowing students' attitudes towards the program based on the ABC Model (Affective, Behavioral, Cognitive). The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. The data collection used was observation, interview, and documentation and used purposive sampling. The results show the positive impact of the program; internal factors such as increased learning motivation, active participation, self-confidence, and vocabulary mastery encourage students to express ideas more freely. External factors such as the teacher's role as a facilitator help students use vocabulary appropriately, contextually, and naturally. Effectively, students showed a positive emotional response to the program. Behaviorally, students actively used the new vocabulary, although the consistency varied. Cognitively, students felt the program improved their understanding of vocabulary and language context, although they still had difficulty in distinguishing similar vocabulary. The program needs to optimally apply the principles of CLT, namely exposure to the use of native speakers' mother tongue and the importance of games in learning, to maximize the improvement of vocabulary mastery. Further research is also needed to explore other factors besides vocabulary and develop more effective teaching strategies.

Abstract

Vocabulary is fundamental to English language proficiency, yet teaching it remains challenging due to limited instructional time and the complexity of word associations. While various methods have been employed to support vocabulary learning, few studies have explored the impact of English movies on vocabulary mastery and student motivation in relation to learning styles. This study addresses that gap by examining how English movies support vocabulary acquisition and motivation among students with diverse learning preferences at Junior High School 3 Terusan Nunyai. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, with purposive sampling involving school leaders, teachers, and selected students. A learning style inventory identified visual learners as the majority. The findings indicate that English movies enhance vocabulary retention and motivation, especially for visual and auditory learners, and can also engage kinesthetic learners when combined with interactive classroom activities. The use of movies provides authentic, contextual, and multisensory experiences that enrich learning and increase student engagement. The study concludes that integrating English movies into English instruction is an effective strategy to improve vocabulary mastery and student motivation, offering valuable insights for teachers and contributing to more inclusive and engaging learning environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation and perceived benefits of extensive listening as a controlled classroom activity in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. While extensive listening is often promoted as an autonomous learning activity that enhances listening fluency and motivation, its integration into formal classroom settings remains limited and underexplored. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research was conducted over six weeks with one EFL lecturer and 25 intermediate-level university students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of lesson plans and student reflection logs, and analysed thematically. Findings indicate that when extensive listening is delivered in a structured format it fosters high levels of learner engagement, increases listening comprehension, and boosts student confidence. Students appreciated the combination of teacher guidance and personal autonomy, as it allowed them to engage meaningfully with relevant and emotionally resonant content while receiving consistent feedback. The study highlights the value of balancing structure and freedom in classroom-based listening pedagogy and offers a practical model for integrating extensive listening into EFL instruction. These results contribute to the growing literature on listening pedagogy by addressing how controlled extensive listening can be feasible and impactful in formal education contexts.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence’s contribution to supporting critical thinking in language learning has received significant attention. However, although the role of AI in English learning has been widely studied, studies specifically addressing the role and challenges of AI in developing critical thinking in ESL/EFL learners are still limited. Therefore, this study analyses the contribution and constraints of using AI in developing critical thinking through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 390 articles from the Scopus and ERIC databases published between 2023-2025. The findings indicate that AI contribute to develop critical thinking by providing rapid feedback, supporting learning, and strengthening higher order thinking skills. However, Ai integration also faces challenges such as overreliance and the perception that AI results are perfect, which encourage students to accepts answers without critical evaluation. These findings emphasize the important of using AI ethically and critically by providing students with strategies to examine and question AI generated content.

Abstract

This study analyzes the ability of children's storybook writing, supported by cultural integration programs, to effectively promote local heritage preservation through early literacy. This study emphasizes the creation of a storybook titled "A Jumputan Miracle," which exemplifies the innovative integration of cultural aspects, traditional crafting methods, and narrative techniques to introduce young readers to the old art of Jumputan. This project employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, integrating requirements analysis, field research, and collaborative design to investigate the role of storytelling as an educational tool for enhancing cultural literacy and language acquisition. Illustrated narratives demonstrate the ability of storybooks to depict Palembang's unique traditions in an engaging and accessible way. Local artists and educators are prioritized for engagement to guarantee the authenticity of the content. This research highlights the substantial impact of storybooks on improving children's literacy and protecting intangible cultural heritage through the integration of creative storytelling and cultural preservation. This effort demonstrates the utilization of literature to preserve local customs and enhance early childhood education.

Abstract

Oral corrective feedback is an important strategy in improving students' speaking skills, but teachers and students usually have different perceptions of how feedback should be given. This discrepancy can reduce the effectiveness of feedback and slow down student progress, so this study is useful for understanding the perceptions of teachers and students. The research was conducted at Methodist High School 3 Palembang with research participants consisting of 1 teacher and 8 grade 11 students. This study used a qualitative approach by applying a case study design. Observations and interviews were conducted to identify common mistakes made by students during speaking performances and to determine the types of verbal corrective feedback most often used by teachers when providing feedback to students. In addition, interviews were conducted to explore teachers' and students' perceptions of verbal corrective feedback on students' speaking performances. Thematic analysis was used to identify the main themes in the teacher and student interviews. The results of the study show that students generally make pronunciation errors, and explicit correction is the type of oral corrective feedback most frequently used by teachers. Furthermore, both teachers and students view this positively and consider oral corrective feedback important in improving students' speaking skills.

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance the English-speaking proficiency, self-confidence, and vocabulary knowledge of Islamic school teachers at Yayasan Pondok Pesantren Alhamidiyah NW Sidemen, Batulayar District, West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. The program involved five international internship students from Saxion University, the Netherlands, who served as tutors in a four-month intervention. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study adopted direct role-play activities in which the international students acted as school principals and used English as the main medium of communication four times per week. Participants included twenty teachers and five staff members from elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected to examine changes in teachers’ speaking activity, confidence, and vocabulary use. The findings indicate a substantial improvement in teachers’ participation in English communication, beginning with basic greetings and progressing to interactive responses. Teachers’ self-confidence increased markedly, as reflected in their enthusiasm and willingness to compete in responding during the role-play sessions. Vocabulary knowledge also improved, evidenced by the growing frequency and variety of teachers’ responses. Overall, formerly passive teachers demonstrated behavioral change toward more active engagement. The study concludes that the direct involvement of international internship students through sustained role-play activities effectively contributes to improving Islamic school teachers’ English proficiency.
