Listening and speaking are interrelated language skills that play a crucial role in learning English as foreign language. The relationship between the two important because listening provides input that supports the development of student’s speaking skill. However, previous studies have generally focused on the general relationship between listening and speaking skills without examining their specific aspects in depth, and have been dominated by studies on university and junior high school students. Research on high school students in rural Indonesia with low English exposure remains limited, indicating a research gap. Therefore, this study focuses on this context to provide a more specific contribution to the study of listening and speaking skills. This study aims to determine the relationship between listening skills and speaking skills of grade XI students of Senior High School. The study population consisted of 230 students and a sample of 31 students from grade XI A was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through listening and speaking tests and then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation tests with the help of SPSS software version 27. The results of the study showed that the average score for listening skills was 20.97, while the average score for speaking skills was 19.42. Based on the score range 0-25, these scores indicate that students have relatively high achievement because they are close to the maximum score. The results of the correlation analysis showed a value of rₛ = .899 with a significance of p < 0.001, which means there is a strong and significant positive relationship between listening and speaking skill. This finding indicates that the better students' listening comprehension, the better their speaking skill.

This study explores an English teacher's use of humor in the classroom, focusing on its language and content, and its influence on students’ enjoyment of learning, engagement, participation, and classroom interaction. Although numerous studies have examined the benefits of using humor in EFL classrooms, limited qualitative research has explored how humor is constructed, implemented, and perceived in Indonesian EFL contexts. This research employed a qualitative case study design. It was conducted at a senior high school in Denpasar, Bali. The data were collected through classroom observation and semi-structured interviews with one English teacher and several students. To obtain in-depth data, the observations were conducted across three meetings. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis, categorizing humor by content and function. Unlike the previous findings, this study provides an in-depth qualitative analysis of humor types, implementation, strategies, and both the teacher and the students’ perceptions in an EFL classroom. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the teacher frequently used three types of humor: course-related, course-unrelated, and self-disparaging, delivered in English and Indonesian. Course-related humor was often incorporated into teaching materials to simplify concepts and improve understanding, while course-unrelated humor serves as an icebreaker to create a relaxed classroom atmosphere. The teacher used humor through three main strategies: introducing the lesson with humor, embedding it in teaching materials, and employing spontaneous humor during classroom interactions. Furthermore, both students and the teacher perceived humor positively, reporting that humor can increase enjoyment, confidence, and willingness to engage in the classroom. However, the findings also highlight the importance of using humor appropriately, taking context, timing, and students’ characteristics into account to avoid negative impacts.

This study investigates how Gricean maxim violations function as a strategy for constructing narrative suspense in Murder on the Orient Express (2017). While previous studies on maxim violations in film discourse have primarily focused on classification and communicative functions, this study examines their role in narrative structure. Drawing on Grice’s Cooperative Principle and narrative suspense theories proposed by Sternberg and subsequent narratological studies, the study aims to identify the types of maxim violations and analyze their contribution to suspense construction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with a pragmatic–narrative approach, the study analyzes 89 utterances from investigation scenes in the movie script, focusing on suspects’ interrogative interactions. The findings indicate that maxim violations function systematically as mechanisms for regulating information and maintaining uncertainty in detective narratives, with Quality violations occurring most frequently. The study demonstrates that conversational deviations operate not only as pragmatic phenomena but also as narrative resources in cinematic storytelling. These findings contribute to pragmatics, narrative discourse, and film studies by providing an integrative perspective on the relationship between language, information management, and suspense construction.

This study was conducted to prove that the use of outlining can improve the personal letter writing skills of eleventh grade students of State Islamic Senior High School. Despite the recognition of outlining as an effective pre-writing strategy, few researchers have examined the effectiveness of the strategy as a tool for teaching personal letter writing among secondary students. Personal letter writing is unique compared to other forms of writing in that students are expected to arrange their ideas systematically but also express their personal experience, emotions, and interpersonal relations effectively in the process. Thus, the present study was designed to measure the effectiveness of the outlining strategy in enhancing personal letter writing skills among students. This study utilized a quantitative research design where 43 participants were assigned into two groups; experimental group composed of 21 students and control group comprised of 22 students. In the experimental group, the outlining strategy was used as a tool while the conventional method was used among the control group students. It was noted that there was an increase in the mean score of the experimental group from 62.43 during the pre-test to 86.67 during the post-test, while the control group recorded scores of 66.77 during the pre-test and 76.09 during the post-test. In addition, the results from the independent-samples t-test suggested that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t= 6.282, p< .001). Lastly, from the effect size analysis, the effect size value was found to be Cohen’s d = 1.92, which indicates a large effect. Therefore, this shows that outlining is an effective instructional method for enhancing students’ personal letter writing abilities. This study has established that English teachers should apply outlining as a useful instructional strategy to enable their students to write good personal letters. Moreover, this study has added to the existing body of knowledge on writing theory by proving empirically that outlining is an effective strategy for planning purposes.

This study identifies systematic phonemic correspondences between Bahasa Indonesia and Sinama through a comparative phonemic analysis using the 200-item Swadesh list as the data basis. Data were obtained from officially published dictionaries, and in the case of Sinama, consultations with a native speaker. Cognate pairs were identified by cross-referencing the gathered data with Proto-Austronesian (PAN) reconstructions. Results show that Sinama yields a remarkably high lexicostatistical similarity with Bahasa Indonesia with 43.89% cognacy, putting Bahasa Indonesia and Sinama in the level of language family subgrouping. Six systematic phonemic correspondences were identified between the two languages: elision of /h/ in initial and final word positions, the raising of /a/ to /o/ before final /m/, multiple changes on the vowel /e/, correspondences on /r/, and the lateralization of /j/ to /l/. In addition, twenty-six cognate pairs were found to be completely identical between the two languages. These results show the shared Austronesian heritage between Bahasa Indonesia and Sinama and the distinct phonological developments each language has undergone over time. This study also shows the importance of including understudied regional languages, such as Sinama, in comparative linguistics research on Indonesian and Philippine languages.

This study examines the construction of female identity and oppression in Daniyal Mueenuddin’s short story Saleema (2009) from the collection In Other Rooms, Other Wonders using Simone de Beauvoir’s existential feminist framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative method with a close textual reading approach, the research analyzes how patriarchal and feudal structures in Pakistani society restrict the female protagonist’s autonomy. The findings reveal that Saleema is constructed as the Other through sexual objectification and dependence on male authority figures. These conditions deny her autonomy and reinforce her subordinate position within patriarchal society. The study also explores the tension between transcendence and immanence in Saleema’s life. Although she briefly demonstrates transcendence through her personal choices, patriarchal and socioeconomic constraints ultimately force her back into immanence. As a result, her attempt to assert agency collapses into personal destruction and loss of subjectivity. This study concludes that Saleema’s fate reflects structural oppression rather than individual failure. It also contributes to feminist literary criticism by demonstrating the relevance of Beauvoir’s existential feminism in analyzing gender oppression and female subjectivity in Pakistani literature.

This study analyzes the 2023 DreamWorks animated film Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken to explore how the protagonist's growth reflects psychological maturation amid internal conflicts and social pressures. Using a qualitative narrative approach, this research combines the hero's journey with Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory, offering a novel interdisciplinary framework that maps mythic archetypes onto adolescent identity formation. This integration contributes to film and literary studies by demonstrating how commercial animated cinema utilizes classical narrative structures to articulate complex psychological crises. In conclusion, this research demonstrates that each phase of the monomyth serves as a precise metaphor for the Identity vs. Role Confusion crisis. By transitioning from a passive Identity Foreclosure through a vulnerable Psychosocial Moratorium, the protagonist successfully attains Identity Achievement and the virtue of Fidelity. Ultimately, this contemporary animation redefines true maturation not as social conformity, but as the ego's courage to embrace a hybrid self to achieve a stable sense of self-sameness.

In academic writing, spelling accuracy plays a crucial role as it directly impacts the clarity of ideas, text readability, and the quality of information delivery. Repeated spelling errors can hinder the effective communication of the writing's content to the reader. This study aims to describe the types of spelling errors found in the undergraduate theses of students from the Physical Education, Health, and Recreation Study Program (Class of 2020) at Tadulako University. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. Data were sourced from the students' theses, specifically focusing on Chapter 1 (Background). Data collection involved documentation, observation, and note-taking techniques. Data analysis utilized the Miles and Huberman model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the most frequent errors occurred in letter usage 72 instances, specifically involving capital letters 60 and italics 12. Additionally, there were 52 errors related to word writing, covering base words 28, derivative words or affixes 10, prepositions 8, and numerals/numbers 6. Punctuation errors totaled 31, specifically involving periods 6, commas 19, and hyphens 6. Five errors regarding loanwords were also identified. The findings suggest that the understanding and application of spelling rules in students' academic writing require more intensive attention.

Vocabulary mastery is fundamental to young learners’ English language development, yet vocabulary instruction at the primary level is often dominated by memorization and drilling activities that may limit students’ engagement and vocabulary retention. Big Book media, which combines visual support and shared reading activities, has the potential to enhance vocabulary learning and promote active classroom participation. However, limited studies have simultaneously examined the impact of Big Book media on both vocabulary mastery and learning engagement among young learners in Indonesian EFL primary classrooms. Therefore, this study integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of Big Book media. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Big Book media on young learners’ English vocabulary mastery and to explore students’ learning engagement during vocabulary learning activities. A convergent mixed-methods design was employed involving 52 Grade 1 students from an Indonesian public primary school, comprising 25 students in the experimental group and 27 students in the control group. Quantitative data were collected through vocabulary pre-tests and post-tests, while qualitative data were obtained through classroom observations and interviews. The results showed that students taught using Big Book media demonstrated greater improvement in vocabulary mastery than those receiving conventional instruction. The Mann–Whitney U test revealed a statistically significant difference between the groups (U = 129.000, Z = −3.857, p < .001), with a large effect size (r = .53). Qualitative findings indicated high levels of attention, participation, enthusiasm, and positive responses toward the use of Big Book media. Students reported that the illustrations and shared reading activities helped them understand and remember vocabulary more effectively. The findings suggest that Big Book media effectively improves vocabulary mastery and learning engagement among young learners, while demonstrating the value of integrating quantitative and qualitative evidence in EFL vocabulary research.

This study aimed to develop a needs-based English Camp handbook for EFL boarding school students at Muhammadiyah Boarding School Palopo using the 4-D model. The study was conducted in response to the limited effectiveness of the previous English Camp materials, which were considered less practical, less structured, difficult to use, and insufficiently aligned with students’ learning needs. This research employed a Research and Development design by adapting the 4-D model consisting of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The participants were 15 students who joined the English Camp program. Data were collected through needs-analysis questionnaires, interviews, field observations, expert validation sheets, and students’ responses. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis and percentage-based quantitative analysis. The needs analysis revealed that students needed materials that emphasized speaking practice, vocabulary enrichment, communicative expressions, familiar topics, interactive activities, and visually supported learning resources. Based on these findings, the handbook was developed into five units: Self-Introduction, Daily Routine, Asking and Giving Directions, Describing People, and My Family. Each unit consisted of vocabulary enrichment, useful expressions, main materials, basic grammar, and interactive tasks. The expert validation results showed that the material aspect reached 97.5%, the language aspect reached 97%, and the design and layout aspect reached 88.75%, indicating that the handbook was feasible for use. Students’ responses were also generally positive, as they considered the handbook attractive, understandable, relevant, and helpful for English Camp activities. Therefore, the developed handbook is suitable as a supporting learning medium to strengthen students’ speaking practice and vocabulary mastery in EFL boarding school contexts.
