As a result, the focus of this study is on English students' resilience and the obstacles they experience during distance learning. This study used qualitative methodologies and included 20 English students who were purposefully chosen as participants. They were questioned in accordance with the study's objectives. An interactive model was used to analyse the interview data. The data suggest that in remote learning, students' self-control is lacking. They are under psychological duress. Their physical state was deteriorating, and several of them were experiencing headaches. They are mentally bored and unable to concentrate, and they cannot enjoy learning due to a lack of social interaction. Furthermore, students encounter issues connected to internet signals, budgeting to meet internet demands, and difficulty in locating learning resources during remote learning, all of which are classified as examples of poor technical competence.

Abstract

The authors address the study on intercultural communicative competence (ICC) of EFL students from different culture at higher education in the classroom setting. ICC is the most interesting and important topic in every meeting among people from different ethnic groups. López-Rocha (2016) mentions that intercultural communicative competence (ICC) needs to be incorporated in the language curriculum if educators hope to help students develop an appreciation for the language and culture studied, an awareness of their own culture, and the development of skills that will allow them to be competent, adaptable, and communicators. This present study therefore aims at exploring students’ perceptions on the practice of intercultural communication competence in EFL classroom at English Department, Faculty of Languages and Literature State University of Makassar, Indonesia in 2019/2020 academic year. A questionnaire was distributed and responded by fifty four undergraduate students. The data obtained from respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics illustrating mean, standard deviation (SD), sum, and percentage of students’ perceptions on the questionnaire dealing with ICC practices in EFL classroom. The findings reveal that the students enjoy interacting with other students from different cultures. Other evidences from the study are: 1) they find it easy to talk to students from different cultures, 2) they like to be with students from different cultures, 3) they are open-minded to students from different cultures, 4) they respect the ways students from different cultures behave, 5) They try to get as much information as they can when interacting with students from different cultures, 6) they never think their culture is better than other cultures, 7) they often give positive responses to students from other cultures when maintaining interaction, and 8) they have a feeling of enjoyment towards diversity in their classroom interaction. The implication of the study is that the inclusion of ICC in the curriculum at higher education is a must.

Abstract

The problem of phonological interference, which is a key contributor to incorrect pronunciation of English as a foreign language, is still a problem in English language instruction, especially in the area of pronunciation and phonology. Therefore, it's crucial to look into how native language influences how English sounds are produced by EFL students. This study brought to light the phonological errors that Buginese students make when pronouncing English sounds. This study used a qualitative approach, particularly in the form of case studies, to address the objective. 10 second-semester students who are originally from different Buginese regions participated in this research at State University of Makassar. The researcher tested students' pronunciation of English consonants to gather information about the students' phonological interference. The test recording was then translated and examined in light of the students' pronunciation errors. It was discovered that eight consonants were mispronounced by Buginese students, which areconsonants /f/, /v/, /θ/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /dʒ/, and /ð/. Buginese pupils make the closest sounds that are present in Buginese to pronounce these eight consonants. The study's findings were useful in that they helped identify certain English sounds that Buginese pupils had trouble pronouncing, which the English lecturer might use to help the students' pronunciation.

Abstract

The current school curriculum is seen to have far too many disciplines to cover. In general, there are three types of courses taught in middle and high school: general subjects, science subjects, and social subjects. This subject group really grows in Islamic schools when religious subject groups are present. The concentration of learning that students must follow is a phenomenon as a result of so numerous disciplines. According to prior research, this attention is kept by parents of children who have particular expectations of them. This paper is the result of an investigation into Parents' Perspective towards the Importance of English Learning at Private Islamic Schools in Makassar. The research reveals that some parents who think that learning English is not too important, tends to be unimportant or even not important at all compared to religious learning where they give the doctrine directly to their children (students) or indirectly by not showing the appreciation for the results of learning English the children get
