Abstract

This research examines the difficulties Libyan EFL teachers encounter in improving students’ speaking skills, using the quantitative and qualitative methods are combined to have a comprehensive understanding of the issue. To investigate real teaching practices, data were collected from 26 preparatory school teachers using a structured questionnaire, semi-structured interviews with four teachers, and seven classroom observations. The findings show that there are many challenges faced by teachers in teaching speaking effectively. These include weak students’ linguistic competence, low motivation, and speaking anxiety. Contextual constraints include large class sizes, limited time, and inadequate technological resources. Moreover, the study identifies a gap between the communicative goals of the textbooks and the realities of classroom implementation. Teachers also pointed out the lack of professional training and the marginalization of speaking skills in formal assessment practices, which further diminish opportunities for meaningful oral communication. The study concludes that textbooks are designed to foster communicative language use, but their effectiveness is still constrained by pedagogical, institutional, and environmental factors. It recommends targeted teacher training, better classroom resources, curriculum content adaptation to the students’ level of proficiency, and the integration of speaking assessment into the evaluation systems to promote students’ oral proficiency in Libyan classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze principal leadership in planning co-curricular programs to strengthen character education. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving principals, vice principals, teachers, program coordinators, and relevant stakeholders. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with data validity strengthened through triangulation and member checking. The results revealed five key practices of principal leadership in co-curricular program planning: comprehensive needs analysis, alignment of character education goals with the school's vision and mission, stakeholder engagement through collaborative planning, integration of academic learning with character development, and strategies for overcoming challenges through resource optimization and coordination. This study concluded that effective principal leadership in the planning stage is a strategic factor in the sustainability of character education through co-curricular programs. The research findings provide practical implications for strengthening the role of principals in designing contextual, collaborative, and sustainable co-curricular programs.

Abstract

School principals play a crucial role in implementing and overseeing literacy programs to ensure their success. While principals are highly motivated to foster a literacy culture, not all have systematic managerial strategies for developing students' literacy skills. This study aims to describe the principal's transformative and participatory leadership regarding: (1) planning; (2) organizing; (3) implementation; and (4) supervision in the context of fostering students' literacy skills. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. The data included descriptions, perspectives, experiences, policies, and the principal's application of transformative and participatory leadership to enhance students' literacy skills. Data collection involved observation, interviews, and documentation at SD Negeri 01 Beji, East Ungaran District. Data analysis followed stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, using triangulation techniques to ensure data validity. The results indicate that: (1) literacy program planning involved coordination meetings, budget preparation, goal setting, and problem identification; (2) organizing involved task allocation based on competence, delegation of authority, formation of management teams, and the drafting of job descriptions; (3) implementation was realized through pre-lesson reading activities, library visits, the LITERAKSI program, literacy corners, and reading walls; and (4) supervision was conducted through direct supervision, classroom visits, and school committee oversight.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of developing teacher professionalism in the digital era through the utilization of "Ruang GTK" as a platform for learning and teacher performance management. School principals play a strategic role in fostering teacher professionalism by employing democratic leadership that emphasizes participation, transparency, and collaboration. This study aims to describe and analyze the principal's democratic leadership in using Ruang GTK to develop teacher professionalism at SD Negeri Langensari 03, West Ungaran. The research focuses on the management functions of planning, organizing, implementation, and controlling. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research subjects consisted of the principal and teachers. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis utilized an interactive model involving data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the principal applies democratic leadership across all management functions. During the planning stage, the principal involves teachers in a participatory manner to formulate programs based on needs analysis and performance evaluations. In the organizing stage, the principal establishes working groups and assigns tasks according to teachers' competencies. During the implementation stage, teachers utilize Ruang GTK features—such as Continuous Learning, Career and Performance, and Learning Inspiration—to enhance their competencies both independently and collaboratively. In the controlling stage, the principal supervises, monitors, and provides continuous feedback. The study concludes that the principal's democratic leadership, facilitated by the use of Ruang GTK, effectively develops teacher professionalism in a systematic, participatory, and sustainable manner.
