“…Furthermore, according to Borghi et al (2019), knowledge of word formation can increase students' motivation to learn the language. However, some previous studies (Franscy & Ramli, 2022;Fitriyani & Nulanda, 2017) show that vocabulary is more influenced by non-linguistic elements such as teaching-learning methods and talents. In fact, it is considered weak to claim that learning the English language (ELL) can be achieved without considering the linguistic role.…”

“…Morphological instruction in EFL classes focuses on solving vocabulary difficulties (Borghi, et al, 2019). Limited vocabulary is one of the most common problems learners face when developing language skills (Franscy & Ramli, 2022;Fitriyani & Nulanda, 2017). Knowing the derivation markers mentioned above allows learners to determine word class and predict meaning based on the position and function of words in sentences (Afri & Putra, 2021).…”

Limited vocabulary is one of the most common difficulties faced by EFL learners in Indonesia. Ignorance of English morphological awareness prevents students from expanding lexical words. However, research on morphological consciousness is relatively rare. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of morphological awareness on EFL learners’ vocabulary. The study used a causal-effect relationship research design. The population consisted exclusively of students of the English and Management Studies program at Universitas Mahasaraswati Denpasar (N=1360). However, in this study, only 10% of the population (N = 136) was sampled using a systematic random sampling technique. There were two types of instruments: Instrument A was ten successful two-layer multiple-choice morphology tests and Instrument B was vocabulary completion tests. The data were then analyzed using statistical mediation regression and a series of independent-sample t-tests. The results indicated that the participants' perception of the derivation morphology was rated as "poor", which impacted their "poor" achievement. Morphological awareness significantly affected participants' vocabulary, with sig 0.000 < alpha (0.05) and tob (21.601) > tcv (1.667). Furthermore, morphological awareness did not differ by gender (t = 1.221, p = 0.224 > 0.05), but by study duration (t = 4.729, p = 0.000 < 0.05) and academic courses (t = 5.306, with sig 0.000 < 0.05). The results underline that explicit morphological instruction has a positive effect on EFL learners in predicting and promoting vocabulary. Therefore, through linguistic pedagogy, knowledge of English word formation rules has a much stronger and more positive effect on language competence and performance in EFL class than a purely non-linguistic approach.

“…For many EFL students, the fear of making mistakes in pronunciation, grammar, sentence construction while speaking holds them back and inhibits their communication. Another study conducted by (Franscy & Ramli, 2022) also figured out that speaking still becomes the problems for most of Indonesian EFL students due to linguistic and non-linguistic aspects. Further, (Mappiasse & Bin Sihes, 2014) concluded in their study that to communicate in English is a difficult mission in Indonesia because of the emphasis on the national language (Bahasa Indonesia).…”

Need analysis is a pivotal process prior to starting any courses in order to get initial classroom mapping about students’ needs and expectations. This current study aims to describe the result of need analysis conducted prior to the course of Bahasa Inggris for nursing students. The method employed is descriptive quantitative using data that were collected through questionnaires distributed to the students who are taking Bahasa Inggris course in the odd semester 2022/2023. The results show several points, such as the students belonged to the beginner to intermediate level of English users who merely used English in the classroom contexts. The most challenging language skill is speaking, yet they have had learning awareness to acquire all the language skills in the targeted language. The students also propose some criteria of good teaching materials, learning activities, as well as assessment forms. Finally, the result of this current study can be one of the considerations or the basis for future learning designers, course facilitators, and institutions to design the course which meets the students’ needs. Keywords: English, need analysis, nursing students

“…Henceforth, many English programs are offered to promote students' English skills in order to prepare them for future challenges (Efendi, n.d.). However, in some cases, students find that English is difficult to learn due to its complexity, especially with productive skills ( (Franscy & Ramli, 2022;Zannah et al, 2022). Due to those reasons, many students fail to attain language competence and performance.…”

English has become one of the common tongues of the international community. Provided that fact, many English programs are offered to promote students’ English skills to prepare students facing the globalization era and workforce. Besides, to answer the 21st-century skills the government has attempted to change curriculum. However, there are still many students who are low in their English proficiency. This research was conducted to scrutinize the students’ English proficiency based on CEFR. It was done at SMPN 40 Surabaya as the population. There were 103 students from four classes of eighth grade participated in this research. The research was conducted in both quantitative and qualitative. The test using the KET (Key English Test) by Cambridge was administered to find the students’ English proficiency. However, due to the limited time, it was limited to only Listening, Reading and writing sections. Then, the results were analyzed with CEFR (Common European Framework). The result was most of the participants were at A1 for reading as well as writing while they were at A2 for listening. It means that the students understand English quite well and they can communicate in English for daily use.
