The Challenges and Strategies in English Communication of UNNES 7th Semester Students during International Community Service Program (ICSP) Participation
This paper focuses on revealing the challenges in English communication of UNNES 7th semester students during the International Community Service Program, as well bridging unexpected cultural gaps in communication, analyzed beyond the classroom-based context to extends existing discussion on communication competence. This paper adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, with 7 participants involved. Data collection was initially conducted with an open-ended questionnaire, followed by participants being invited back for a semi-structured interview. The findings revealed the main communication challenges faced by participants, such as limited knowledge of English vocabulary, and the challenge of understanding the English accent of Malaysians. However, several strategies in overcoming communication challenges were implemented, including the use of fillers, appeal for help strategy, applying code-switching, and the use of body gesture strategy. This paper presents opinions and experiences of the participants involved, highlighting the challenges of English communication in international scope and the strategies applied. In addition, this paper suggests the necessity of exposure to English learning in real-life contexts, such as involved in international standard programs to enhance long-term communication skill
The Influence of Subjective Well-Being and Learning Motivation on Mathematics Learning Outcomes in 10th Grade at SMA Negeri 11 Samarinda
Indonesian students continue to face difficulties in mathematics, as reflected in their low PISA performance. Besides cognitive mastery, non-cognitive factors such as Subjective Well-Being (SWB) and learning motivation also play an important role in shaping students’ academic outcomes. However, previous findings regarding the influence of SWB on achievement have been inconsistent, suggesting the need to examine it alongside other psychological factors. This study investigates the influence of SWB and learning motivation on the mathematics learning outcomes of 10th-grade students at SMA Negeri 11 Samarinda. A quantitative causal-comparative design was used with three randomly selected classes as the sample. SWB and learning motivation data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire, while mathematics outcomes were obtained from students’ report cards. The data were analyzed using truncated spline nonparametric regression. The results indicate that both SWB and learning motivation significantly affect mathematics learning outcomes, individually and simultaneously. These findings highlight the importance of supporting students’ psychological well-being and motivation to enhance mathematics achievement at the senior high school leve
Mitigating Student’s Stage Fright in Public Speaking at An Islamic Boarding School in Samarinda
Delivering a speech or presentation to an audience is known as public speaking. In general, oral interaction with a wide audience intended to transmit ideas, messages, and opinions is referred to as public speaking. This qualitative study investigates how students at an Islamic boarding school navigate stage fright in public speaking, particularly when using English as a foreign language. The study explores the methods students use to deal with stage fright, the effect that social support has on anxiety control, and the differences between stage fear in academic and non-academic environments. Through in-depth interviews with students from a high school in Samarinda, the study sheds light on students' perspectives and coping mechanisms concerning stage fright during public speaking engagements
The Influence of Academic Supervision, Work Motivation, and Collaborative Learning Practices on Teacher Performance in Junior High Schools in Berau Regency
Academic supervision, work motivation, and collaborative learning practices are key aspects influencing teacher performance. These three elements support the creation of a higher quality and more effective educational environment. This study aims to assess the impact of academic supervision, work motivation, and collaborative learning practices on teacher performance at public junior high schools in Berau Regency. Utilizing a quantitative approach with cluster random sampling, the research population consists of 20 accredited A public junior high schools totaling 507 teachers, while the sample includes 9 accredited A schools with 244 teachers. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that academic supervision significantly impacts teacher performance with a contribution of 35%. Additionally, work motivation has a smaller effect at 6.9%, while collaborative learning practices also contribute 35%. Collectively, these factors account for 35% of teacher performance, with the remaining influence attributed to unidentified factors. The study emphasizes the importance of synergy between academic supervision providing constructive feedback, relevant incentives to motivate teachers, and developing learning communities that support ongoing professional growth. School leaders should enhance academic supervision through targeted training, local governments should offer more effective performance-based rewards, and schools should facilitate sustainable learning community programs to foster continuous innovation in teaching and improve teacher performance consistently. This research is expected to serve as a reference for educational policy in Berau Regency and enhance the overall quality of education in Indonesi
Collaborative Online Writing: Students’ Perspectives and Their Actual Writing Performance
Background:
This study explores a topic that has not received enough attention in the literature: the relationship between EFL students' perceptions of online collaborative writing and their actual writing performance. Few studies have specifically looked at how learners' self-assessments match quantifiable writing outcomes, despite prior research emphasizing the advantages of collaborative writing for language development.
Methodology:
91 Indonesian EFL undergraduate students took part in this study by working together to write an argumentative essay while receiving online instruction. Open-ended surveys, self-perception questionnaires, documentation of online collaborative interactions, and student essays were used to gather data.
Findings:
According to both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the majority of students had favorable opinions about collaborative writing and thought it improved their speaking and writing confidence. Statistical analysis, however, revealed no meaningful relationship between students' assessments of themselves and their actual writing abilities.
Conclusion:
These results underline the need for more reflective and feedback-rich writing instruction in EFL contexts by indicating that students may misjudge their own writing abilities.
Originality:
The originality of this study lies in its dual focus on EFL students' self-perceptions and their actual writing performance within an online collaborative writing context. Unlike previous research that typically examines these aspects separately, this study uniquely correlates self-assessment with quantifiable writing outcomes, particularly in the demanding genre of argumentative writing. Conducted in an Indonesian EFL setting during remote learning, it highlights important cultural and technological influences often overlooked in similar studies. Thus, it provides a novel perspective on the gap between students' perceived and actual writing abilities in online collaborative environments
The Representation of LPDP Scholarship in CNN Indonesia: a Corpus Based Critical Discourse Analysis
Background:
Media tend to portray state-owned scholarships and can influence public opinion in a positive, negative, or neutral way. However, the specific depiction of the LPDP scholarship, a prominent state-owned scholarship in Indonesia, requires closer examination. The image of the LPDP scholarship can be analyzed through the collocation of keywords related to LPDP and LPDP scholarships found in the CNN Indonesia news data corpus. The role of the media in forming a positive or negative image is then critically examined through critical discourse analysis.
Methodology:
The method used in this study is critical discourse analysis using corpus tools. The data used are 77 news about LPDP Scholarships with a total of 26,335 tokens. The news text was analyzed with the help of a corpus tool in the form of the AntConc application to obtain word frequencies, collocations, and concordances.
Findings:
The image of the LPDP Scholarship in CNN Indonesia news is first seen from the frequency of words that appear and are significant, meaning that CNN Indonesia tends to be specific in reporting the LPDP Scholarship by directly referring to the program it has. Second, the emergence of collocation tends to focus on news about the LPDP Scholarship even though there was one negative image related to the problems that occurred in 2020. Third, the emergence of concordance gives the meaning that CNN Indonesia tends to provide a positive image of news about the LPDP Scholarship.
Conclusion:
The results of the study show that the frequency of words, collocations, and concordances that appear mean that the CNN Indonesia news media in reporting the LPDP Scholarship predominantly provides a positive image. The media tends to report specifically about the LPDP Scholarship, such as the registration and funding schemes. On the one hand, the media is neutral in reporting. This can be seen from how the media also portrays the conflict that occurred in the LPDP Scholarship, especially regarding the policies implemented.
Originality:
This study uses LPDP news in 2014-2024 released by CNN Indonesia to determine the image of LPDP scholarships based on word frequency, collocation, and concordance.
Unveiling the Ideological Construction of Prabowo's First Presidential State Address a Critical Discourse Analytical Approach
Background:
Prabowo Subianto's 2025 First State Address, a speech that has not been previously examined in academic literature. This study seeks to identify and analyse the linguistic and rhetorical strategies utilized in Prabowo’s speech to unmask his political legitimacy, presidential identity, ideological stance within the Indonesian context.
Methodology:
Using Teun A. van Dijk’s socio-cognitive model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the study analyzed both the transcript and video recording. Data were coded across macro, super, and micro levels to uncover thematic organization, argumentation patterns, and linguistic devices. Qualitative coding and multimodal cue analysis were employed by identifying recurring linguistic patterns (e.g., pronouns, metaphors, repetition) and correlating them with non-verbal features such as gestures, facial expressions and tone, to interpret how verbal and visual elements jointly construct ideological meaning.
Findings:
The analysis reveals that Prabowo frames his leadership as a moral and protective force against corrupt elites and economic exploitation. Nationalist appeals such as food self-sufficiency, poverty reduction, and empowerment of the wong cilik reinforce a paternalistic model of governance portraying the state as the guardian of the people. Toward the conclusion, he emphasizes democratic transition, international cooperation, and Indonesia’s global standing, invoking pride and collective dignity. Microstructural analysis of pronoun use, presuppositions, and metaphors demonstrates how rhetorical strategies align with broader ideological positioning.
Conclusion:
Prabowo’s first state speech address gives some theoretical contributions as the role of historical narratives in constructing collective cognition and sustaining political legitimacy.
Originality:
The originality of this research lies in its integrated application of van Dijk’s socio-cognitive framework to Prabowo Subianto’s 2025 State of the Nation Address which hasn’t been analyzed before, it combines textual and multimodal analysis to show how linguistic structures, visual cues, and rhetorical strategies work together to create political legitimacy and national identity
