Problematic Issues on Idiomatic Expression: A Lexicology Study on Monolingual Dictionaries Rustandi, Andi This study investigates the problematic issues surrounding the representation of idiomatic expressions in monolingual online dictionaries, with a particular focus on the Oxford Monolingual Online Learner’s Dictionary. Idiomatic expressions, which are characterized by non-literal meanings and fixed or semi-fixed lexical patterns, present unique challenges for lexicographers. Drawing from qualitative analysis, the study identifies three central problem areas: (1) stability versus instability of idiomatic forms, (2) multi-word complexity and lexical evolution, and (3) idiomaticity and transparency. Findings reveal that idioms frequently appear in multiple lexical variants, complicating their classification and interpretation. Furthermore, many idioms evolve, leading to inconsistencies in dictionary entries and confusion among users. The degree of transparency of idioms also varies, with some being highly opaque and difficult to interpret without cultural or contextual knowledge. These issues highlight the limitations of traditional dictionary models in addressing the dynamic and figurative nature of idiomatic language. The study concludes by recommending a more phraseological and pattern-driven approach to lexicography, emphasizing the integration of idiom families, historical context, and usage-based explanations to better serve language learners and users. This research contributes to the field of lexicology and lexicography by offering practical insights for improving idiom representation in monolingual dictionaries. -

The Impact of English Week Program on Students’ Interactive Speaking Performance at an Islamic Boarding School: An EFL Teacher’s Perspective Rustandi, Andi Abstract: Speaking is one of the most crucial skills in English language learning; and interactive speaking is challenging for students, especially those in boarding schools with limited exposure. Although previous studies have examined students' perceptions, there has been little research conducted on teachers' perspectives. This study aims to explore an EFL teacher's perspective on the implementation and impact of the English Week program on students' interactive speaking performance and to identify the challenges they faced during the program. The researcher employed a qualitative case study approach, utilizing a snowball sampling technique, followed by non participant observation and semi-structured interviews with an EFL teacher at an Islamic boarding school in Tasikmalaya. The results showed that the program successfully stimulated students' interactive speaking skills by combining formal and informal activities. The teacher employed scaffolding strategies and served as a facilitator and motivator. As a result of this research, students demonstrated increased confidence and improved interaction skills. However, there were other challenges, including a limited vocabulary, fluctuating motivation, and inadequate facilities. Based on this research, the English Week program has a positive impact on students' interactive speaking skills through creative and varied learning strategies, structured management, and a supportive learning environment. Understanding the teacher's perspective confirms the importance of institutional support and continuous program development. Future research is suggested to dig out the students’ perceptions on this related topic with a large sample to obtain a broad insight. -
