An Analysis of Illocutionary Speech Acts in the Film Einstein and the Bomb (2024)
type: item
description: This study analyzed the types and functions of illocutionary speech acts used by the main character, Albert Einstein, in the documentary film Einstein and the Bomb (2024). This study applied the speech act theory proposed by John Searle (1979) to identify and classify utterances into five categories of illocutionary speech acts, namely assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. The method used was descriptive qualitative by transcribing each utterance from the main character, Einstein, then classifying them into five types of illocutionary speech acts and calculating their frequency and percentage and presenting the results of the analysis. The result is a total of 172 utterances made by Einstein throughout the film. The results showed that assertive speech acts dominate with a percentage of 84.30%, followed by expressive at 11.62%, commissive at 2.32%, and directive at 1.74%, while declarative speech acts are not found. The dominance of assertive speech acts reflected Einstein's tendency to express opinions, beliefs, and moral views, consistent with his image as a rational and reflective scientist. Meanwhile, the presence of expressive and commissive speech acts demonstrated his emotional side and commitment to peace and ethical responsibility. The absence of declarative speech acts indicated that Einstein lacked the institutional authority to enact change through language. This study concluded that the film portrays Einstein not only as a physicist but also as a moral communicator who uses language to express his stance on peace, equality, and justice.

Types and Characteristics of Code-switching in Twitter Posts by Humanities Students of Universitas Sumatera Utara
type: item
description: This study investigates the types and characteristics of code-switching employed by students from the Faculty of Humanities at Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) in their Twitter posts. Drawing on Gumperz’s (1982) conversational functions, the research explores how code-switching operates as a communicative strategy rather than a random alternation between Indonesian and English. The data were collected from naturally occurring tweets and analyzed qualitatively. The findings reveal that intra-sentential switching is the most dominant type, reflecting high bilingual competence and a fluid integration of English into Indonesian discourse. Code-switching among USU Humanities students also exhibits distinctive pragmatic traits—English is frequently used for emphasis, emotional expression, and message qualification, while Indonesian maintains interpersonal warmth and contextual familiarity. Unlike patterns found in Jakarta youth discourse, their switching is content-driven and cognitively motivated, functioning as a tool for nuanced expression rather than identity display. These characteristics highlight a unique bilingual style rooted in intellectual engagement and reflexive awareness, suggesting that academic bilingualism fosters a sophisticated, meaning-oriented mode of linguistic hybridity.

Reframing English Curriculum Policy: A Comparative Analysis between Indonesia and the United States for Local Instructional Design
type: item
description: This article aims to compare the secondary school English curriculum in Indonesia and the United States to identify differences in curriculum orientation, instructional design, and assessment practices. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, ten academic articles and official curriculum documents published between 2020 and 2025 were examined. The findings show that Indonesia’s curriculum remains centralized and exam-oriented, which limits teacher autonomy and reduces opportunities for authentic, student-centered learning. Meanwhile, the U.S. curriculum emphasizes flexibility, critical thinking, formative assessment, and multicultural integration, allowing greater adaptation to students’ needs. Based on this comparison, the study concludes that curriculum development in Indonesia requires selective adaptation of key elements such as teacher empowerment, localized flexibility, performance-based assessment, and balanced cultural representation. The article contributes to curriculum discourse by offering a comparative perspective that can inform policymakers and English educators in designing a more adaptive and competence-based English curriculum for secondary education.

English Education Students’ Perception of English as International Language
type: item
description: English is an international language that has an important role to communicate between countries. Today, English is the main language that enters into every aspect of life, one of which is education. In Indonesia itself, English is also included in the school curriculum and must be taught to students. Therefore, this study aims to find out the perception of English students towards English as a language, because English students will be prepared to become educators. The results of this study showed that every English student has a good perception of English. They also agree that English provides many benefits for personal and professional development. Some students also gave reasons why they liked English and their purpose of learning English. However, although the students have a good perception of English, most of the English students rarely use English in their daily life. In conclusion, a good perception of a language does not necessarily mean that the language is used in life. Keywords: English, Perception, Students.

TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT ELEVENTH GRADE USING ACTIVE KNOWLEDGE SHARING (AKS) STRATEGY
type: item
description: Active knowledge sharing (AKS) is one of the active learning strategies that encourages students to be active in discussing their knowledge as the process of learning English as a foreign language. It is used for enhancing students' abilities in reading and speaking comprehension. This research was conducted to investigate how active knowledge sharing can be used by the teacher in the English classroom. The researcher collaborated with the teacher conducting the learning process in a class by using a classroom action research design; it used three cycles in implementing the strategy while teaching narrative text in an English class. Each cycle included four stages: plan, act, observe, and reflect. The data were obtained qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitatively, the data used students’ and teachers' notes about the class activity, which became a reflection for the researcher in revising the next cycle. Students' achievement in the reading test was the quantitative data. The research showed some improvements in students’ speaking participation in discussions, students’ reading achievement, and students’ vocabulary acquisition.

Students' Perspective on the Utilization of the Fluenday Application for Beginners to Improve Vocabulary
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the use of the Fluenday application in enhancing English vocabulary mastery among senior high school students. Employing a qualitative approach through a case study method, the research involved 28 eleventh-grade students who actively used the Fluenday application over a four-week period, from which 10 participants were selected for in-depth interviews. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of 10 statements and a set of four semi-structured interview questions designed to reinforce the questionnaire findings and provide deeper insights into the learning activities within the application. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. The findings reveal that the use of Fluenday positively impacts students’ vocabulary acquisition. Students found it easier to learn new words through contextualized video clips and reported improved memorization through repetition-based features, personalized quizzes, and daily exercises. Moreover, students were motivated to engage with vocabulary learning due to the interactive interface and the gamified reinforcement system. Despite some challenges and dependencies such as limited access to premium features and reduced engagement with independent assignments due to reliance on the app, these obstacles did not significantly hinder the app’s overall effectiveness. Students agreed that these issues could be managed and did not obstruct their vocabulary improvement. Therefore, this study concludes that Fluenday can be considered an effective alternative medium for vocabulary learning, provided it is supported by consistent and well-targeted usage strategies.

Teacher Strategies for Implementing Communicative Language Teaching in Second-Grade EFL Classrooms in a Pesantren-based Educational Setting
type: item
description: This study investigates the implementation of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach by an English teacher in a second-grade EFL classroom within a pesantren-based educational setting in Indonesia. It aims to find out the teacher's teaching strategies to develop communicative competence, particularly in speaking. Through a qualitative research design, the study employed classroom observations across six meetings and a semi-structured interview with the teacher to explore the instructional strategies used, the challenges faced, and the outcomes achieved through the adoption of CLT. Findings reveal that while both the teacher and students initially faced difficulties adapting to the CLT method due to the teacher’s lack of prior experience and the students’ unfamiliarity with student-centered learning, gradual progress was evident. The teacher employed various communicative activities such as role-play, peer interviews, picture narration, and guessing games, which encouraged students to speak more confidently and spontaneously. The “help a friend” strategy, real-life contextual materials, and reduced correction during speech further fostered a supportive environment for language development. The study demonstrated that CLT could enhance student engagement, confidence, and oral proficiency. It offers valuable insights for educators aiming to shift from traditional instruction to more communicative, learner-centered approaches in culturally embedded environments.

An Analysis of Deixis in Fast X Movie (2025)
type: item
description: The purpose of the study explores the phenomenon of deixis defined in linguistic terms as expressions whose interpretation is relative to the context of the utterance (e.g., speaker, time, and place) in the movie Fast X. The objective is to categorize and analyze the usage of deictic expressions based on Levinson’s (1983) classification: personal deixis (e.g., I, you), spatial deixis (e.g., here, there), temporal deixis (e.g., now, then), discourse deixis (e.g., this, that referring to parts of the text), and social deixis (e.g., sir, madam indicating social status). Using a descriptive qualitative method, the researcher collected data by transcribing character dialogues from the film. Language data were analyzed in terms of deixis reference, contextual dependency, and pragmatic function. The study finds that personal deixis is the most dominant type, reflecting the interpersonal dynamics and narrative perspective. This study highlights the importance of deixis in cinematic language, significance of deixis in enhancing coherence and engagement in film storytelling. Keywords: deixis, levinson’s theory, pragmatics, linguistics.

Enhancing Vocabulary and Academic Achievement through Group Learning among Primary School EFL Learners a Study at a Primary School in Semarang
type: item
description: This mixed-method study explores the impact of group learning on vocabulary acquisition and English academic performance among sixth-grade primary school students. While vocabulary knowledge is foundational to language competence and overall academic achievement, traditional instruction methods often rely on rote memorization, which may not align with young learners' cognitive and social development. Drawing upon Sociocultural Theory (Vygotsky), Cooperative Learning Theory (Slavin), and Vocabulary Acquisition Theory (Nation), this study positions vocabulary learning as a socially mediated process best facilitated through structured group interaction. A quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests was employed to compare vocabulary retention between a group-based learning cohort (n = 30) and a control group receiving traditional instruction (n = 30). Complementary qualitative data were collected via focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Quantitative results revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s vocabulary and English performance scores. Thematic analysis identified key mechanisms of group learning effectiveness, including peer support, motivation, active participation, and confidence-building. Findings indicate that group learning not only enhances lexical retention but also fosters a psychologically safe and motivationally rich environment for language development. Moreover, low-performing and introverted students exhibited disproportionate gains, suggesting the inclusivity and adaptability of group learning strategies. This study contributes to the limited body of empirical research on collaborative vocabulary instruction in Southeast Asia and offers practical implications for curriculum design, teacher training, and inclusive language pedagogy in primary education.

Strengthening Students’ English Reading Skills and Motivation Through Flipped Classroom Strategy Using Whatsapp (WA) as a Learning Media
type: item
description: This study employs a quasi-experimental design to explore the effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom strategy in enhancing students' reading skills and motivation using the WhatsApp platform. The quasi-experimental technique measures the measurement results before and after treatment. In addition, this study also seeks a correlation between reading skills and reading motivation. The research participants were seventh graders of a Junior High School in Tana Tidung who were randomly selected into experimental and control classes. The instruments used in this study were a pre-post reading skills test and a pre-post reading motivation questionnaire on two dimensions, namely intrinsic and extrinsic. Both instruments have been tested for validity and reliability before being used in the study. The results showed that the significant value (2 tailed) or (P) of the post-class reading comprehension test obtained by the experimental and control classes was 0.001, which is smaller than 0.05. It is confirmed that there is a significant difference and the quality of the experimental class' results in reading comprehension, which is higher than the control class. Thus, the Flipped Classroom strategy has an impact on improving reading skills. All significant values (2 tailed) or (P) of the post-reading motivation questionnaire in both dimensions obtained by the experimental and control classes also showed significant difference as they reached 0.001, which is smaller than 0.05. In addition, the quality of the experimental class' reading motivation results were higher than the control class. Thus, the Flipped Classroom strategy has a good impact on increasing reading motivation. Meanwhile, the significance values of the Pearson correlation of the post-reading skill test and the post-reading motivation questionnaire in both dimensions obtained by the experimental class are 0.882, 0.629, and 0.522. The control class obtained 0.286, 0.151, and 0.069. These values are more than 0.05. T…

Unlocking Potential: The Flipped Classroom's Impact on Reading Comprehension and Motivation
type: item
description: Determining the effects of the flipped classroom method on the reading comprehension and motivation of seventh-grade students at SMPN 3 Bondowoso was the goal of this study. We compared the standard method and the flipped classroom using an experimental design using cluster random sampling, with 30 students in each group. We ensured the dependability of our data by using validated motivation questionnaires and reading comprehension tests. Using independent and paired sample t-tests, we discovered that the flipped classroom not only greatly improved students' reading comprehension—outperforming the conventional approach at a significance level below 0.005—but also sparked their interest, initiative, and optimism. The flipped classroom is essentially supported by this research as a dynamic catalyst for improving both reading prowess and student engagement, paving the way for a more inspired and effective learning experience.

A Linguistics Landscape Study on Prawirotaman Street Yogyakarta
type: item
description: This study explores the linguistic landscape of Prawirotaman Street in Yogyakarta, focusing on three research questions: the languages and language strategies used in public signs, public attitudes towards these languages, and the public's perception of their usage. The intersection of global communication needs and local heritage preservation is examined through a qualitative methodology involving photography and interviews. Using Cenoz & Gorter’s classification system, 51 units of analysis were identified and categorized according to Thongtong Tiwahporn's classification classification of signs. Additionally, interviews with shop owners, employees, and tourists were conducted to understand the motivations behind linguistic strategies and their attitudes towards English, Javanese, Indonesian, and other languages. The study found that Code Mixing was the most prevalent language strategy, used in 35% of the signs, followed by Hybrid Syntactic Structures and Abbreviations. Quantitative data revealed that 51.85% of the signs were monolingual, while 48.14% were bilingual, with English being the most frequently used language.

This study divides metacognitive information into three categories: knowledge of self, learning techniques, and learning task needs.To elicit the research data, there were three types of data collection tools, namely questionnaire, test and semi-structured interview and this study used quantitative and qualitative methods based on a case study approach. The research findings indicated that students who have high listening abilities are better in metacognitive knowledge compared those who have middle and low listening abilities. Then, those students also were able to benefit effective learning strategies, particularly metacognitive strategies, in improving their listening abilities in and outside the classroom. Therefore, the students’ metacognitive knowledge has a potential role in helping them to become successful language learners. Keywords: Metacognitive knowledge; EFL listening abilities

type: item
description: As times change, the education curriculum in Indonesia has undergone many modifications, with the latest being the Kurikulum Merdeka. This curriculum is a government response aimed at addressing the decline in meaningful learning during the pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic phases. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka in the English language subject at a private elementary school in Batam City. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection was conducted through classroom observations and interviews with teachers. The results indicate that the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka at the school is not yet fully realized, particularly in terms of applying student-centered learning. On the first day, teaching methods were still predominantly teacher-centered, although there was an increase in interaction between students and teachers on the second day. Additionally, this study found that teachers hold a positive view of the curriculum but face several challenges, such as inadequate facilities and resources, as well as difficulties in student adaptation. This study suggests the need for adequate teacher training and the provision of supportive facilities to enhance the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka. Furthermore, further research is needed to explore specific strategies to address these challenges and improve student learning outcomes. By gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges and factors affecting the implementation of this curriculum, it is hoped that targeted intervention strategies can be developed to improve the quality of education in Indonesia.

Bilingualism, Trilingualism, Multilingualism, and Polylingualism: Softening Language Boundaries in South African Classrooms.
type: item
description: ABSTRACT South African society is highly diverse with 12 official (including the South African sign language) languages used for teaching and learning. This society is multilingual, multicultural, and multireligious. Translanguaging is simply a pedagogical term used to describe the natural ways bilingual/multilingual individuals use their languages in their everyday lives. This paper suggests translanguaging pedagogy to soften language boundaries in South African multilingual and multicultural classrooms. Hence, educators working with multilingual learners must remember that a positive teaching foundation translates across language barriers. This paper is discussed qualitatively using an extended literature review examining both national and international studies that are relevant to the topic. These sources were identified and analysed. The result from this extended literature review shows that translanguaging goes beyond theory to critical pedagogical practice. Also, it shows that effective teaching strategies based on empathy and acceptance should easily translate from monolingual to multilingual learners. Therefore, there is a need to employ a translanguaging strategy in the classroom to center the marginalised languages in South African classroom space. This extended literature review offers a prototype for teachers, education actors, and policymakers to re-imagine South Africa’s bi/multilingual classrooms through the lens of translanguaging.
