Abstract

This study examines the effect of teaching contextual clues on enhancing inferential reading skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two intact classes of intermediate EFL students who were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received specialised instruction on recognising and using contextual clues to draw inferences while reading, whereas the control group continued with traditional reading instruction without a focus on inferential strategies. Both groups participated in pre- and post-tests to measure their inferential reading abilities. The results showed a significant improvement for the experimental group, whose average score increased from 65.97 on the pre-test to 86.72 on the post-test. In contrast, the control group’s mean score rose only slightly, from 68.44 to 73.59, with minimal change in standard deviation, indicating limited progress using standard teaching methods. These outcomes emphasize the importance of integrating contextual clue instruction into EFL reading curricula to develop stronger inference-making and overall reading comprehension skills. The study highlights the significant benefits that such instructional strategies offer EFL learners and suggests that curriculum designers and educators should consider incorporating these approaches to better support students’ language development and academic success.

Abstract

The implementation of deep learning in Indonesia’s education policy emphasizes mindful learning, yet its manifestation in English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms remains underexplored. This study investigates how mindful learning is manifested in EFL classrooms and how translanguaging pedagogy facilitates learning awareness and meaning-making. A qualitative case study was conducted with three English teachers and tenth-grade students at a senior high school in Manado, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with three teachers and three students, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal two interconnected components of mindful learning: learning awareness, developed through active noticing, self-monitoring, and reflective engagement; and meaning-making, constructed through interpretation, negotiation of meaning, and collaborative knowledge construction. The study further suggests that translanguaging functions not merely as a linguistic strategy but as a pedagogical mechanism that provides linguistic flexibility and cognitive scaffolding, enabling students to engage more consciously and meaningfully in learning. Based on these findings, the study proposes a conceptual model positioning translanguaging pedagogy as a bridge connecting linguistic flexibility, learning awareness, and meaning-making to foster mindful learning in EFL classrooms.
