It can be denied that teaching vocabulary to ESP students is challenging since they need treatment to learn it on the right target. 21st-century learning requires the students, no exception the ESP students, to fulfill the demands of the 4Cs (Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking), which makes students show language competence in the right target. This quantitative study with a one-shot case study aims to explore the knowledge level regarding vocabulary learning using Flash Cards and reveal the students' activities during learning using Flash Cards. Thirty-one participants from one vocational high school were involved in this study. The researchers used two types of instruments, namely, test and observation. The results of this study showed that students’ scores in vocabulary testing indicating their knowledge of language word level were categorized ‘good’ by the mean score of 73.97. Additionally, they showed enthusiasm in learning vocabulary using Flash Card. The role of Flash Cards in teaching vocabulary in ESP classrooms benefits students in grasping the meaning of L2 words that can be used or applied in the language context. Keywords: Teaching Vocabulary; ESP; Flash Card.

The behaviour of learners in listening to English songs will create a habit, or activity carried out periodically or repeatedly. Learners who always listen to English songs form habitual actions that may affect their language learning process, especially vocabulary acquaintance. The habit of listening to English songs offers occasions to learn the language. The learners who have the habit of listening to English songs will have more vocabulary since they are used to listening to many words in the lyrics. Mastery of vocabulary in writing is essential. Writing is one of the complex language skills because it involves the ability of writing techniques and language skills. With poor vocabulary mastery, students find it difficult to string words together to make a sentence because they lack the vocabulary to represent their writing. Students with good vocabulary mastery were able and easy to string words. They can determine diction for their writing. Keywords: vocabulary mastery; habit of listening to the song.

These qualitative research purposes are to investigate EFL kindergarten teachers' media and challenges in teaching vocabulary. This research design was a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data was collected through interviews and audio-visuals with three participants from private kindergarten schools. The data was analyzed by thematic analysis. The findings revealed that they are similar to the media used by teachers. Most of them used printed properties and technology. Printed and properties are books and flashcards. Technology is software games, educational videos, television computer devices, songs, and games. The results of the study also indicated that the teachers faced some challenges when teaching vocabulary in the classroom, including challenges from students (noisy students, inclusive students, and students' mood), schools/institutions (lack of facility), and teachers themselves (classroom management and teachers' mood). Keywords: Challenges; EFL Teachers; Media; Vocabulary; Young Learners.

This study aimed to determine whether there is a positive correlation between reading interest and reading comprehension ability of the eleventh-grade students of SMAN 10 Pekanbaru. This study used a quantitative method to obtain data from participants. Using random sampling, the writers took 31 students from class XI MIPA 7 at SMAN 10 Pekanbaru. The data were collected using a questionnaire and reading test. Based on the results of the data analysis, the writer found that the correlation value between the two variables is 0.423, which means that there is a positive correlation between reading interest and students' reading comprehension. In addition, because the value of correlation is 0.423, it can be interpreted that this correlation is at the level of moderate correlation. Furthermore, the value of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.018, meaning that the value of Sig. (2-tailed) is smaller than 0.05. Based on this, it can be concluded that (Ha) was accepted and (Ho) was rejected. This finding suggests that there is a positive correlation between reading interest and students’ reading comprehension. Keywords: Reading Interest, Reading Comprehension, Correlation.

This linguistic study investigates the orthographic nativization of Hispanic borrowed words in Waray Visayan written discourse. The textual source is a news article from Isumat News Portal written in Waray Visayan titled COVID Laboratory ha EVRMC magtitikang na an operasyon. Through a descriptive research method, the words are lexically analyzed as to content words, English equivalents, root words, Spanish equivalents, native affixes, and nativization processes. The analysis reveals that the Hispanic nouns, verbs, and adjectives borrowed by the Waray Visayan article are nativized through full lexical adoption, changing or replacement of letters, orthographic mutation, and adding of native prefixes and suffixes. Thus, the Spanish loanwords have been Filipinized in the Waray linguistic community where sociocultural, economic, and religious activities exist. This further shows that the Spanish words have found unique structure and expression in the Waray Visayan written discourse, not only in literary narratives like the study of Quebec (2021), but also in non-fiction, news article in particular. In effect, it is recommended to conduct the same study with a bigger number of corpora in both written and spoken discourses in Waray Visayan and across the Philippine languages to explore the reach of Hispanic word borrowing and nativization and to investigate other linguistic changes as they undergo nativization. Keywords: Lexical analysis; word borrowing; nativization; Hispanic words; Waray Visayan language.
本语言学研究调查了瓦雷维萨扬语书面话语中西班牙语外来词的正字法本土化。本文来源是Isumat新闻门户网站的一篇新闻文章,标题为“COVID实验室,EVRMC magtitikang na and operason”。通过描述性研究方法,从实词、英语对等词、词根词、西班牙语对等词、本土词缀和本土化过程等方面对这些词进行了词汇分析。分析表明,瓦雷维萨扬冠词借用的西班牙语名词、动词和形容词是通过完全采用词汇、改变或替换字母、正字法突变以及添加本地前缀和后缀而被本土化的。因此,西班牙语外来词在存在社会文化、经济和宗教活动的瓦雷语社区中被菲律宾化。这进一步表明,西班牙语词汇在瓦雷维萨扬人的书面话语中发现了独特的结构和表达,不仅在文学叙事中,如《魁北克研究》(2021年),而且在非小说类文章中,尤其是新闻文章中。实际上,我们建议在瓦雷维萨扬语和菲律宾语言的书面和口头话语中使用更多的语料库进行同样的研究,以探索西班牙语词汇借用和本土化的范围,并调查其他语言在经历本土化过程中的变化。关键词:词法分析;单词借款;本土化;拉美裔的话;瓦雷维萨扬语。

In this 21st century era, young children have become keen users of multimedia technologies, more so than in the past generations when children could access various English cartoons. Due to exposure to English cartoons, preschoolers proficient in English tend to have difficulties acquiring the first language used in the speech community. Therefore, the study investigated the influences of English cartoons on preschoolers’ English language acquisition. It is anchored on Skinner’s Behaviorism, Krashen-Terrell’s Input Hypothesis, Kress and Van Leeuwen’s Multimodal Discourse, and Critical Age Period Theory. It adheres to Yin’s single holistic case study research design, where two (2) preschoolers were selected through a purposive sampling technique. The data were gathered during the four-week series of home observations and semi-structured in-depth interviews within the seven-month study duration. Furthermore, data were analyzed following the thematic analysis method. Results revealed that preschoolers’ English language acquisition is affected by certain factors, i.e., exposure to multimedia technologies, social relationship/linguistic environment, motivation, attitudes, and interests of the child. Regarding phonological influence, preschoolers articulate terms based on the pronunciation heard from cartoon shows. F/P1 acquires a British accent, and both participants can utter all vowel/consonant sounds except ‘r.’ They can use words even without understanding their context. Concerning semantic influence, active exposure to cartoons and engagement in an immediate environment led to meaning-making processes strengthening critical and creative thinking skills. Regarding syntax, participants’ multi-word utterances are drawn from longer potential sentences that express a complete thought. Although the words produced are ungrammatical by adults’ standards, they still adhere to grammatical rules. Keywords: English Language Acquisition; English Cartoons; Preschoolers; Factors; and Influence.

The past decades have witnessed an increasing focus on teaching vocabulary. Such interest includes all the aspects that are vital to enrich this important language element. The present research aims at highlighting the importance of incorporating effective vocabulary teaching strategies to enhance EFL learners’ reading abilities by investigating the significant effect of vocabulary on improving reading abilities. It attempts to analyze the qualitative and quantitative data obtained from participants. Guided by the assumption that poor vocabulary creates problems for L2 learners and the claim of Macaro (2003) who believed that most second language teachers tend to neglect the significance of vocabulary teaching. This study adopted mixed-methods research to confirm our assumptions. The research instruments are a questionnaire submitted to one hundred and twenty first-year EFL learners in three Algerian universities, and a semi-structured interview with eight university teachers. The study used SPSS to analyse the data obtained from participants. The findings of this research reveal that teachers find obstacles when introducing new vocabulary to learners; however, they also reveal that are many strategies that can be followed to enlarge the lexis of L2. The study provides theoretical guidelines to enhance reading abilities since the latter is considered the main source of new vocabulary. Keywords: Vocabulary; Reading comprehension; Vocabulary teaching strategies.

Technological advances affect people’s working lives and contribute to the education system, especially in the learning process for generation 4.0. Generation 4.0 is a generation that is fully exposed to technological developments even from birth, so learning using technology will have a very good effect on them. However, conventional learning in schools is still dominated by conventional learning that uses textbooks as teaching media. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the benefits of implementing interactive learning using the E-Learning Module. The data was collected through a review of international journals starting from 2015 to 2019. The findings show that one of the appropriate media used to teach the current 4.0 generation is interactive learning or known as learning, which uses interactive multimedia with interesting materials to motivate students to learn when and anywhere. This study also found that learning using the interactive learning module has advantages in pedagogical aspects such as collaborative learning, mixed learning, interactive learning, experiential learning, and problem-based learning. Keywords: E-learning; Interactive Learning Module; Multimedia; Motivation; and Generation 4.0.
