“…A needs analysis was conducted to determine the speaking models, speaking situations, speaking styles, speaking components, speaking contents, speaking contexts, speaking topics, speaking activities, and speaking material adaptation in the form of WhatsApp-based (WAB) instruction that suit with challenges and opportunities offered in this era. Instructional approach is crucial and it helps educator meets students' needs in learning activities (Maming, et al, 2020). Karademir, et al (2019) suggests that a platform for English language learning is needed particularly speaking materials which enable students to access them anytime, anywhere.…”

Today’s English teaching and learning speaking in the digital era at the university level is full of challenges but promotes many possibilities. WhatsApp, the most popular social media used for communication, can be interactively utilized to study speaking about daily conversations in a flexible way anytime and anywhere to solve students’ speaking problems as well as one of the teaching and learning media in the disruptive era. This research was trying to develop WhatsApp-based speaking instructional material (WABSIM) for the Basic Speaking subject to help students speaking English effortlessly and fast about daily topics. This research was the first step of Research and Development (R&D) of the ADDIE model i.e., to analyze students’ needs to learn Basic Speaking through WhatsApp instructions. The research took place at the English Education Study Program of one private university in South East Sulawesi, Indonesia. Sixty-eight (68) students participated in giving information regarding to the students’ needs through an online survey in the Google Form. It revealed that students wanted to learn the Basic Speaking materials integrated with mobile technology in the form of social media of WhatsApp to make the learning is fast, enjoyable, fun, more communicative, more collaborative, and help them learning anytime anywhere, in and outside the classroom more independently. Also, students need real-life topics, authentic, interactive, and presenting domestic and international viewpoints in the WABSIM. Besides, the developed speaking materials should cover the audio and visual materials to cover students’ learning styles varieties, and the materials should include the speaking components such as vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, comprehension, and task. Data resulting from the needs analysis informed the researchers of crucial issues to consider in developing WABSIM for the design, development, implementation, and evaluation in the next phase of this project. Further, students’ preferences and learning goals can be integrated with perspectives from the mobile learning literature and the affordances of WhatsApp to facilitate communication, collaboration and interaction in ways that have the potential to accelerate English language learning on the part of university students. There would be value in conducting similar needs analyses for other mobile learning instructional material development processes internationally, both for comparison with the Indonesian results here and in order to inform those development processes.

Code-switching, an alternation or mixing one language with another, has been an unmarked phenomenon for a multilingual society. In Indonesia, this phenomenon nowadays lives and thrives among the people. This study discusses the syntactic configuration of code-switching between Indonesian and English in terms of switched segments, points, and changing types. The study is descriptive qualitative in nature. The data comprise 25 recording hours of natural speech produced by 119 Indonesians in 4 types of interaction: seminars, meetings, TV dialogues, and chitchats conducted in six metropolitan cities—Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar. The sample drawn purposively comprises 550 switching discourses consisting of 666 switching corpora. It is found that nouns serving as subjects, predicators, objects of verbs, and prepositions to be the most dominant switched segments. A switch between Indonesian noun phrases and English noun phrases, Indonesian verbs or prepositions, and English objective noun phrases, Indonesian conjunctions, and English conjoined noun phrases or clauses is the most popular switched points, and intercausal switching including intraporal and interlexical switching is the most frequent switching type of code-switching between Indonesian and English. ANOVA Friedman’s test confirms that these patterns are the same among the four types of discourses, implying that such a syntactic configuration of Indonesia-English code-switching is universally applicable to any situation and type of interaction. In conclusion, the domination of nouns indicates that the syntactic configuration of Indonesian-English code-switching mainly occurs at minor constituents such as within a clause, phrase, and word boundaries. This demonstrates that code-switching between Indonesian and English is more likely to occur intrasentential rather than intersentential, which is the most popular anywhere in literature.
