The objective of this research is to find out the implementation of Hypnoteaching method in improving students reading comprehension. The researcher applied quasi-experimental design. The population of this research is the second semester students of Informatics Study Program at Cokroaminoto Palopo in 2022/2023 academic year. The researcher used cluster random sampling technique, where two classes were taken randomly as sample. The sample consists of 27 students of experimental class and 27 students of control class. There were two variables in this research, namely the implementation of Hypnoteaching method as independent variable and the students reading comprehension as dependent variable. The data was collected through reading test administered in pretest and posttest of each class. The result of data analysis shows that t-test value is greater than t-table value (5.34 > 2.056) at level of significance (p) = 0.05 with degree of freedom (df) = 26. It means that there is a significant difference of reading comprehension between two classes and it indicates that null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. Therefore, based on the findings and discussion of this research, it can be concluded that the implementation of Hypnoteaching method improves students reading comprehension

Considering the importance of grammatical knowledge in the writing process, this research aims at describing the grammatical errors that are committed by the fifth semester students of English Department at IAIN Palopo. The research study is classified into a descriptive-qualitative study. The data were collected from twenty two English texts written by the English Department students which were done as tasks and contained six familiar topics. Students were supposed to write an essay/paragraph about the given topics. In addition, the researcher had permission from the lecturer to take and analyse the students’ written works. The researcher and students’ written works are the main sources of data collection in this research. To identify the common errors, students’ writings were analysed with the help of checklists in order to classify different types of errors made by the respondents. The results of the study revealed that the most common and frequent errors made by the students are 387 (58.37%) places of omission errors, 213 (32.12%) places of mis formation errors, 131 (19.75%) places of addition errors, 8 (1.20%) places of mis ordering errors. Besides that, the causes of these errors were developmental found in 323 (36.17%) places, 306 (34.26%) of ambiguous, 205 (22.95%) of interlingual, and 59 (6.60%) unique errors. Based on these findings, teachers are suggested to raise students’ awareness on these errors and provide sufficient remedies to prevent students from internalizing such errors.

A novel is one of the types of literature that retells real-world events in a fictional way without taking away their social or cultural parts. This research was conducted to analyze Native Son, a novel about Bigger Thomas's life as a black person in America in the 1930s. The issues explored in this novel include racial prejudice, racial discrimination, and racial segregation. This study used an interdisciplinary approach, a mimetic approach, and a document study. The data are collected by reading the novel, taking the contents representing the issues, and then presenting and explaining what the data mean. The study results show that Native Son portrays some of the sociocultural issues that often occur in society. This study is expected to provide readers with information on how to analyze a literary work, specifically a novel, and to gain a greater understanding of sociocultural issues in society so that it can be used as a reflection of life.

Teaching English is closely related to learning Western culture; however, it is only sometimes about using the same material. As the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia must play a role in integrating Islamic values into learning, mainly English as a foreign language. This study aimed to reveal the integration of Islamic and cultural values in English teaching to Islamic university students. This descriptive qualitative used semi-structured interviews and observation to gather the data. There were 42 students, and one lecturer was chosen using purposive sampling as the participants. The findings showed that integrating Islamic and cultural values helps students understand English more easily. Furthermore, it also supports students with an Islamic background. In addition, the observation result proves that students speaking, listening, translation, reading, and vocabulary achievement is outstanding during the observation. This current research strongly contributes to the literature on research about integrating Islamic values into language teaching. However, the cultural values that showed up are Islamic cultural values. Further research focusing on Local cultural integration in teaching English may be enlightening.

This study aims to investigate the use of anaphoric and cataphoric references in narrative text in “Bright An English” Textbook for 8th-grade junior high school students, and to identify the most commonly used in the texts. This study examined the data that contained the anaphoric and cataphoric by the theory of Halliday and Hasan (1976). The study used a qualitative descriptive approach because it dealt with descriptive. The main data for this study was “Bright, an English textbook” for 8th-grade junior high school students, written by Nur Zaida and published by Erlangga. The results showed those anaphoric and cataphoric references contained in the English textbook; 22 sentences had anaphoric and cataphoric references in detail of which fifteen sentences were anaphoric, and seven sentences were cataphoric. “Bright, an English textbook” for eighth-grade junior high school students frequently uses pronominal anaphora because it addresses the referent of the anaphora with a pronoun. Pronouns were important because they linked sentences, which helped to avoid the nouns being used repeatedly. Besides, the cataphoric reference was rarely used, which is considered more difficult for 8th graders to understand.

Studies on Student Online Learning Readiness (SOLR) have been proliferating since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic world-widely. The results seem to vary accordingly in terms of students’ levels, complexity, and contexts of its implementation across regions and countries. Through an internet survey questionnaire, involving 139 EESP students at the faculty of education, at Jambi University, this study investigates the levels of SOLR and how they contribute to the improvement of the students’ soft skills. Adapting Yu and Richardson’s (2015) model, the results show a relatively high SOLR level with an average score of (3.64) (out of the maximum 5.0) in three aspects (technical, social, and communication). Technical competencies were the highest level with an average score of (3.70) and Communication appear to be the lowest (3.59) in the evaluation. The study also proves that all aspects of SOLR contributed significantly to the improvement of the students’ soft skills (self-regulated, critical thinking, problem-solving, and time management) with an average score of (2.8) (out of 4.0). Despite the pessimistic claims in its implementation, the findings have displayed a reverse phenomenon, proving the fact that the student’s readiness at EESP along with its contribution to students’ soft skills far outweighs the expectation. Online learning, although, with several limitations, should be implemented wisely and thoroughly to obtain maximum results.
