Abstract

This qualitative study explores how interpersonal communication strategies, framed within the concept of “loving pedagogy,” shape the relational dynamics of English-speaking classrooms in an Indonesian Islamic boarding school (pesantren). Conducted at Pesantren Luhur Baitul Hikmah in Kepanjen, Malang, the research involved two English teachers and three students (santri). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that teachers employ culturally situated strategies- such as non-threatening error correction inclusive language, and the framing of English as a tool for collective religious and intellectual purposes- to build psychologically safe learning environments. For instance, teachers consistently used praise –first recasts (e.g., “Good attempt, let’s just adjust the verb form together”) and positioned speaking practice as ibadah dakwah, which visibly lowered students’ affective filters. These practices reduce students' speaking anxiety and enhance their willingness to communicate. The study demonstrates that effective interpersonal pedagogy in this context is deeply interwoven with local ethical and mentorship traditions (Suhbah). The results offer a model for culturally responsive language teaching that integrates relational care with pedagogical intentionality, providing practical insights for teacher development in Islamic educational settings.

Abstract

The shadowing technique is becoming increasingly popular as a way to develop speaking abilities in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) contexts. However, a few studies have looked into participants' perspectives on how they feel and react to the technique during the learning process. This study seeks to evaluate a learner's experience using the shadowing technique to improve speaking fluency, as well as any challenges encountered during implementation. Using a qualitative case study methodology, data were gathered through a semi-structured interview with a single participant with C1 English competency and prior shadowing experience. Thematic analysis was used to examine the data. The research identified three major elements about the learner's experience: (1) Shadowing as a natural and enjoyable practice, (2) perceived increase in speaking intonation and fluency, and (3) independence and assimilation of learning practices. In terms of challenges, three themes emerged: (1) assisting in matching the pace and intonation of native speakers, (2) lack of confidence and anxiety in speaking, and (3) limited access to learning resources and feedback. These findings indicate that, while shadowing is a promising strategy for developing speaking abilities, its usefulness is dependent on participants' emotional readiness, the availability of feedback, and the adaptation of materials.
