This research explores the impact of positive reinforcement, particularly praise and positive words, on motivating and engaging young language learners. Rooted in the Self-Determination Theory and Social Cognitive Development, the study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing a popular YouTube video featuring an EFL teacher. Findings highlight the diverse functions of positive expressions, such as encouraging engagement, fostering emotional well-being, and promoting positive behavior. The research fills a gap in detailed analyses of positive words used by educators, providing valuable insights for designing effective language teaching strategies. The methodology, findings, and implications contribute to shaping engaging educational materials for children.

The research explored the challenges of students undertaking the TOEFL prediction test, specifically in the listening section. The study utilized descriptive qualitative research and employed a questionnaire. To attain proficiency in listening comprehension, students must grasp macro and micro skills, as Brown’s taxonomy outlines. The study demonstrated that students encounter difficulty in listening comprehension due to four major factors: sound, vocabulary, grammar, and pragmatic awareness. The findings indicated that students' struggle to understand spoken language lies in micro-skills, particularly at lower proficiency levels of recognizing word sounds. Consequently, introducing micro-skills is essential to enhance students' language knowledge.

Several research studies have proven how an Artificial Intelligence (AI) application eases people's jobs in writing. In this regard, AI applications and how students use them in writing Curriculum Vitae (CV) were described. Eighty business students participated in answering the online questionnaire. The result shows that instead of using AI-based-CV Maker instantly, the participants prefer AI assistance for technical skills such as translation, design and grammar checking. AI tools are only one of the tools to use due to trust issues on content and contextual background.

This study examined the various forms of code-mixing among sophomore cadets enrolled in everyday English program, utilizing Suwito's theories as the basis for investigation. The researcher opted for a descriptive qualitative approach in order to explore the verbal communication of PKTJ’s cadet. The cadets' utterances within the everyday English program served as the primary source data for this study. The findings of this research indicate that 48% of instances involve word insertion, 26% phrases, 2.8% hybrids, 8.6% idioms, 2.8% repetitions, and 11.4% involve clauses. Among these, word insertion is the most frequently used form of translation, followed by clauses.

This research aimed to find out if there is a significant effect on students’ vocabulary after using a music streaming application JOOX. It was conducted in the tenth grade of SMA Swadhipa Natar. Using a quasi-experimental study, a test consisting of 30 questions was administered. A t-test was used to analyze the effectiveness of JOOX on students’ vocabulary mastery. The result shows the sig. value (2-tailed) is 0.00 < 0.05. It means that the alternative hypothesis (Hα) is accepted. Therefore, this result concluded that the implementation of JOOX in learning English had a significant effect in boosting students’ vocabulary mastery.

This research explores Mufti Menk's lecture on jealousy available on YouTube, focusing on linguistic strategies in addressing success-related jealousy. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study categorizes 374 English sentences from the lecture into four types. While predominantly composed of simple sentences, the presence of compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences adds linguistic variation. The research contributes to understanding Mufti Menk's communication strategies, providing insights into his nuanced approach to addressing a significant topic within the Muslim community. The findings not only shed light on linguistic aspects but also lay a foundation for future studies exploring psychological dimensions. Mufti Menk's deliberate use of sentence structures facilitates accessible yet nuanced communication on jealousy-related matters.
