This research examined the students with English major backgrounds in both English education and English literature and found their difficult recourses. This research developed an academic phrase test and adopted a questionnaire on students’ perception on the source of academic phrase difficulties. There were 58 respondents from English majors with 49 from English education and 9 from English literature. The result of the test indicated that the student’s ability in academic phrases needs to be improved. The students perceived those unfamiliar words usage, the absence of the syllabi, insufficient teaching, and less experience in using them are the source of difficulties. Therefore, it can be said that academic phraseology should be included in the English student’s curriculum to solve the student’s issues. By doing this students’ exposure to academic phrases can be also increased so they will have more experience dealing with the phrases and can resolve their unfamiliarity with the words used in academic phrases. The findings of this study suggest that students in the English background majors should be assisted with academic phrases lessons to improve their academic writing in general and academic phrase usage in particular.","PeriodicalId":34655,"journal":{"name":"ELT Worldwide Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136084943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The students can convey their intentions by speaking. Many high school students struggled to articulate their thoughts. Their low vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar skills are what cause it. The teacher employed podcast resources in the teaching-learning process to address these issues. The instructor went over the basic grammar to put it into practice. In order to make it stick in their minds, the teacher instructed the student to look for the corresponding grammar in the transcript. Then, in order to expand their vocabulary, the student translate it. To improve the students' listening abilities, an audio recording was employed. The transcript was then read aloud. The students' newly acquired information is put to use in the text and audio descriptions of the images. The students took a pre-test before beginning this treatment, and they finished a post-test at the conclusion of it. A mixed-method approach was used to analyze the data that was found.
