Abstract

This study explores university students’ experiences of learning English through the Duolingo application. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved 15 English education students at Universitas Sembilanbelas November Kolaka over a six-week data collection period. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, and then analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-phase approach, guided by a constructivist learning framework. The analysis identified students’ perceptions, perceived benefits, and challenges in using Duolingo as a language learning tool. Findings revealed that Duolingo enhanced students’ vocabulary acquisition, learning motivation, and autonomous study habits. However, participants also reported limitations such as repetitive exercises, insufficient opportunities for communicative speaking practice, and reliance on internet connectivity. Results indicate that while Duolingo can effectively supplement English learning, it is most beneficial when integrated with classroom-based instruction and teacher guidance. Overall, the study underscores the importance of combining digital learning applications with formal educational contexts to maximize language development and learner engagement.

Abstract

in recent years, there has been a significant decline in the use of the Javanese language, particularly among younger generations living in urban areas. This phenomenon is influenced by various factors, such as the dominance of the Indonesian language in the education system and media, the impact of social environments, and the decreasing role of families in transmitting local languages. This study aims to examine the language shift from Javanese to Indonesian and its impact on the linguistic identity of young people. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving ten participants aged 20–25 years residing in Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation, then analyzed thematically to identify patterns of language use and shifts in linguistic identity. The findings indicate that most participants prefer using Indonesian because it is perceived as more practical, modern, and suitable for cross-cultural communication. Javanese is still used, but it is limited to specific contexts, such as interactions with parents or traditional events. Nevertheless, participants continue to show emotional attachment to their Javanese identity. Their linguistic identity is flexible and constantly negotiated depending on the social context. This study concludes that language shift is a complex phenomenon that involves not only linguistic aspects but also reflects changing values, attitudes, and identities within society.

Abstract

Vocational students often face difficulties in developing English listening skills, particularly with authentic speech that includes varied accents, fast delivery, and technical terms. This Classroom Action Research conducted at SMK N 2 Depok explored the use of interactive ICT tools—YouTube and ESLVideo.com—to enhance listening comprehension among 36 eleventh-grade Computer and Network Engineering students. The intervention applied a Genre-Based Approach in two cycles, using authentic YouTube videos for exposure to real-world discourse and ESLVideo.com quizzes for interactive practice with immediate feedback. Data from tests, observations, and interviews showed substantial progress: students’ mean listening scores increased from 71.25 to 90.83, accompanied by higher engagement and confidence. Qualitative findings revealed that visual and verbal integration reduced comprehension difficulty and motivated students to participate more actively. Despite challenges such as technical issues and classroom management, reflective adjustments helped maintain consistent improvement. The study concludes that integrating interactive ICT tools can effectively enhance vocational students’ listening competence and foster independent learning aligned with professional communication needs.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating the Genre-Based Approach (GBA) with Mentimeter to enhance Indonesian EFL senior high school students’ argumentative writing competence. The participants were 36 eleventh-grade students who took part in a one-group pretest–posttest design. Students’ essays were evaluated in five aspects content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics while their perceptions were collected through a validated five-point Likert-scale questionnaire. The paired-sample t-test result (t = 27.997, p < .001) revealed a statistically significant improvement in overall writing performance, confirming that the integration of GBA and Mentimeter produced a strong positive instructional effect. Students also reported highly favorable perceptions toward the integrated approach, emphasizing that it enhanced their clarity of ideas, engagement, collaboration, motivation, and confidence during writing activities. This research fills the gap in empirical studies exploring technology-supported genre pedagogy within Indonesian EFL contexts, where such integrations are rarely examined in depth. The findings suggest that combining structured genre instruction with interactive digital platforms can foster both cognitive and affective dimensions of writing development. Therefore, the integration of GBA and Mentimeter offers valuable pedagogical implications for English teachers aiming to apply process-oriented, student-centered, and technology-enhanced approaches to improve students’ argumentative writing performance and promote long-term language learning achievement.

Abstract

Raising bilingual children in this modern era is essential. The use of English is very important both in academic and future careers. Every parent needs to prepare for introducing English. This study examined how parent’s strategies successfully introduce two languages into their child and the effect of raising the child into bilingualism from birth. This study employed a couple of parents, members of families, professional therapies, who actively gave exposure to bilingual children. One Parent One Languages (OPOL) approach into this language policy, regular therapy for helping the languages disorder, and visual- non visual process learning languages are the strategies. This is a case study that was an analysis used by Creswell, which consisted of five stages. This study employs observation and some interviews as data collection methods. This study aims to give recommendations for parents, similar researchers, and future generations to raise any children into bilingualism as early as possible.

Abstract

Vocabulary learning remains a central yet challenging component of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, particularly in contexts where classroom learning serves as the primary source of language exposure. Traditional teaching approaches often rely on memorization and translation, which may not effectively promote active learning or long-term retention. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the Kahoot gamified learning platform on students’ vocabulary acquisition in an EFL context. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was conducted with two intact tenth-grade classes at SMK Negeri 2 Kolaka, consisting of 30 students in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. The treatment was implemented over six meetings using a 25-item multiple-choice vocabulary test with high reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.940). T-tests for independent and paired samples were used to analyze the data, identifying within-group improvements and between-group differences. The findings indicated that the experimental group taught through Kahoot achieved significantly higher post-test scores than the control group (p < 0.05). The results suggest that integrating Kahoot as a gamified learning platform can enhance students’ vocabulary mastery, increase engagement, and foster a more interactive learning environment in EFL classrooms. These results underscore the capability of Kahoot-based instruction to extend current understanding of digital gamification in EFL vocabulary teaching by demonstrating measurable gains in learner outcomes.

Abstract

Politeness is one aspect in communication that helps people maintain harmony in interactions and avoid social conflicts. In performing speech act that is inherently face-threatening, such as request, politeness strategies are used to help minimizing the threat to the addressee’s face. This study explores the manifestation of politeness and impoliteness strategies in making requests portrayed in American TV Series The Office and British TV Series The IT Crowd along with the similarities and the differences between them. This study used qualitative research approach and content analysis method. By drawing on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness strategies and Culpeper’s (1996) impoliteness strategies, findings show that the most frequently used politeness strategy in delivering requests is bald on-record in both series. Negative politeness emerges as the second most frequently used, followed by positive politeness, whereas off-record strategies are the least employed. In terms of impoliteness, the result shows that bald on-record impoliteness is the most frequently used super-strategy in both series and off-record impoliteness becomes the least employed super-strategy. Despite the similarities regarding the use of politeness and impoliteness, some notable differences were also observed. In The Office, there is greater variation of positive politeness strategies employed, whereas in The IT Crowd, the variation is more apparent in the use of negative politeness. Furthermore, other differences were also found regarding the second and third most common strategy of impoliteness. In The Office, negative impoliteness emerges as the second most commonly employed strategy, followed by positive impoliteness. Whereas in The IT Crowd, the second most used strategy is positive impoliteness, followed by negative impoliteness. These similarities and differences are related to the background culture and humor style of each series.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of tablet-assisted autonomous learning in improving Maritime English proficiency for on-board communication among young cadets at PIP Makassar in the 5.0 Era. It aims to measure young cadets’ levels of autonomous learning, identify barriers, and explore applied strategies. A mixed-method design was employed, combining quantitative data from 141 young cadets collected using the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (Fisher & King, 2010) with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that 98 (69.5%) of young cadets demonstrated a high level of autonomy and 43 (30.5%) a moderate level, with desire for learning emerging as the strongest factor, followed by self-control and self-management. Major barriers included limited tablet specifications, unstable campus Wi-Fi, and heavy academic schedules. Nevertheless, young cadets employed strategies such as reading e-books, listening to English songs, and reviewing materials during optimal times. These strategies primarily supported receptive skills (reading and listening), consistent with Krashen’s Input Hypothesis. The findings contribute to maritime education literature by highlighting that while technology promotes learner autonomy, its effectiveness depends on institutional support through device enhancement, reliable internet access, and flexible study arrangements.
