“…Language and culture are fundamental barriers that hinder cross-cultural communication between people [25]. As socio-cultural context plays an important role in determining one's proficiency in English language, the presence of multiple variables such as books, foreign radio, internet, films, and newspaper and magazines contributed to the differences occurred in a language [26]. According to Ahmadi and Bajelani [27], in terms of learning process, English for specific purposes (ESP) has no different from other teaching processes.…”

<span lang="EN-US">The evolution of technology has changed the way how human communicate in the current time. With the advancement of technology, instructions and messages could be delivered in a split second. Even though life is made easy with technology, some information and details should be delivered face-to-face in order to avoid communication breakdown. This study was carried out to determine the language needs by foreign workers working at construction sectors in Malaysia. The study created an overview on how communication affects productivity in completing tasks on time. The results from this study lead to a development of language modules for foreign workers training.

“…This finding was also related to Shabani and Alipoor (2017), who found that students with high scores in pronunciation were typical of motivated students.

In mastering English language skills, the learning process matters in determining the goals, including learning pronunciation. So far, research on pronunciation has emphasized pronunciation rather than the process. Thus, this study aimed to investigate students' problems and techniques for dealing with problems in acquiring pronunciation. Six English Department students were voluntarily requested to participate in this study and discuss their perspectives. In data collection process, an in-depth interview was employed. The findings found that participants had difficulties distinguishing between sounds and words, encountered novel words, had low learning desires, dealt with varied accents, and experienced interference from their language. In the other sense, they applied some strategies such as increasing exposure to English, having expert guidance, and pursuing to have a severe problem. The results of this study will play a positive role in showing the barriers experienced by students when learning pronunciation. Thus, it is hoped that the teachers will be aware of these issues, so that teaching pronunciation will be more effective.DOI: 10.26905/enjourme.v7i2.8496

Flipped Classroom (FC) is an educational approach that has gained considerable attention. It incorporates technology to deliver direct instruction outside of class, while in-class time is limited to contextualized collaborative activities. On the other hand, intrinsic motivation (IM) is a fundamental objective for educators, as it helps learners pursue learning throughout the year. It is the internal drive to engage in learning activities for the sake of personal fulfillment and satisfaction. Recognizing the vital role of IM, the paper investigates the efficacy of flipped learning (FL) in raising students’ IM in grammar courses within the framework of Self-Determination Theory (SDT). A total of forty-one (n= 41) Saudi EFL university students were normally distributed into two groups. The experimental group receives FC instruction, while the control group is taught using traditional explicit instruction. A pretest and a posttest were administered to both groups. Furthermore, a questionnaire was further distributed to the experimental group. The findings of the present quasi-experimental study demonstrate that FC enhances students' IM by providing a student-centered, supportive, positive, and collaborative technology-based environment that promotes their language attainment and satisfies their basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Finally, to ensure its successful implementation, it is recommended that teacher training and thorough content planning are vital before implementing FC.
