Pragmatic Failures in English Among Graduate International EFL Students
This study investigates the types and causes of pragmatic failure in English communication among postgraduate international EFL students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS). Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were gathered through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with five culturally diverse participants. Thematic analysis revealed six main categories of pragmatic failure: impolite direct requests, blunt refusals, inadequate apologies, misinterpretation of indirect speech, inappropriate politeness norms, and limited learner awareness. These failures were often shaped by cultural transfer, insufficient pragmatic awareness, and lack of exposure to authentic language use. The study not only identifies recurrent pragmatic issues but also examines their underlying causes and offers implications for explicit instruction. The findings suggest the importance of integrating pragmatic awareness into EFL teaching to enhance students' communicative competence in both academic and intercultural contexts. The study contributes to the development of effective communication strategies in multicultural academic contexts.
BRIDGING LINGUISTIC GAPS: HOW INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS INTEGRATE L1 IN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE DIGITAL CHATS
This study investigates how international students strategically integrate their first language (L1) into English-language digital chats, focusing on WhatsApp interactions. While previous research has examined code-switching in classroom settings, the role of L1 in informal digital communication remains underexplored. Employing a qualitative design with naturalistic observation and document analysis, this study analyzes 137 authentic chat exchanges from students originating from Indonesia, Yemen, Thailand, and Palestine. The findings show that L1 is not used as a sign of deficiency but as a compensatory and pragmatic strategy. Two primary patterns emerge: (1) lexical code-switching, where culturally specific expressions such as “mbak,” “insyaAllah,” and “555” help maintain fluency and emotional tone, and (2) grammatical code-switching, including tag, intra-sentential, and inter-sentential forms, which support clarity and syntactic cohesion. These results demonstrate that learners rely on the full range of language resources they possess to navigate vocabulary gaps, grammatical uncertainty, and express their cultural identity. Such practices indicate not linguistic failure, but adaptive bilingual competence. The study challenges the monolingual bias in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy by reinterpreting L1 use as a valuable asset that enhances communication in informal settings. It concludes that acknowledging L1 in digital interaction helps educators better support multilingual learners particularly in low stress, real-world contexts. The paper recommends that EFL instruction embrace strategic L1 integration as a natural and beneficial component of second language development.

The Level of Student Motivation in the Implementation of PJOK Learning Conducted by PLP Teachers at SMP Negeri 23 Surabaya
Education is a conscious process aimed at developing human potential both physically and mentally and must align with prevailing social values. One essential form of education is Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK), which not only enhances students’ physical abilities but also supports their psychological development and character building. PJOK learning requires active student participation through enjoyable and meaningful physical activities. However, the success of the learning process largely depends on students’ learning motivation, which is the internal drive to engage actively in educational activities. In practice, this motivation is strongly influenced by the teacher’s role in delivering material and creating an engaging learning environment. Observations conducted at SMPN 23 Surabaya during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year revealed that most students showed low participation in PJOK lessons. Of the 30 students observed, only five actively responded to the teacher’s questions, while the rest appeared passive and easily distracted. The lack of motivation and quick onset of boredom suggest that the current teaching approach is ineffective. Therefore, innovation in PJOK learning models, particularly by PLP (Pre-Service Practice) teachers, is needed to enhance student interest and motivation. This study aims to examine the effect of PLP teachers' learning model implementation on student motivation in PJOK classes. The research employs an ex post facto method and uses the Alpha Cronbach formula to test the reliability of the motivation questionnaire.

A REVIEW OF SCHEMA THEORY IN STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION
This research examines the application of Schema Theory in enhancing students' reading comprehension. Schema Theory highlights the role of prior knowledge—formal, content, and linguistic schemata—in understanding texts. It emphasizes the cognitive processes through which readers connect new information with pre-existing mental structures, improving comprehension and engagement. Despite its potential, challenges such as unfamiliarity with text structures, cultural gaps, and limited vocabulary persist. The study explores instructional strategies to activate and utilize schemata effectively, including pre-reading activities (e.g., brainstorming), while-reading techniques (e.g., guided reading), and post-reading tasks (e.g., summarizing). Findings from various studies highlight the importance of tailored approaches to schema activation, such as integrating cultural context, predicting content, and refining existing schemata. This paper argues that applying Schema Theory can enhance reading instruction, address diverse learners' needs, and improve literacy outcomes.
