Abstract

Reading in EFL classrooms has increasingly shifted toward interactive and learner-centered approaches; however, contemporary pedagogy often prioritizes novelty and variation over stability and repetition, potentially overlooking essential processes in skill development. This article aims to conceptually examine the role of recitational reading as a stability-oriented pedagogical approach in fostering pronunciation automaticity among high school EFL learners. Adopting a conceptual research design, this study does not involve human respondents but instead synthesizes existing literature and cognitive theories, particularly Skill Acquisition Theory, to explain how repeated and structured oral reading contributes to language development. The analysis highlights that recitational reading, through repeated exposure and oral performance, strengthens the relationship between decoding and phonological processing, reduces cognitive load, and facilitates the gradual emergence of automaticity. Findings from prior studies indicate that reading aloud improves phonological accuracy, reading fluency, and comprehension, while also supporting learners’ confidence and engagement. Furthermore, pronunciation is positioned not merely as an isolated linguistic skill but as a foundational component underlying fluent reading and meaning construction. This study argues that stability, achieved through repetition and guided practice, precedes learners’ ability to process linguistic novelty effectively. Therefore, reading aloud should be reconceptualized as a cognitive-pedagogical mechanism rather than a conventional classroom activity. The study implies that EFL instruction should revalue repetition-based practices as theoretically grounded and pedagogically essential strategies for developing pronunciation automaticity, fluency, and overall reading proficiency.

Abstract

This qualitative study employs a multimodal discourse analysis framework developed by Kress and van Leeuwen to examine how visual images in the English for Nusantara Kelas IX textbook construct interactive meaning for ninth-grade EFL learners in Indonesia. The analysis focuses on dimensions of interactive meaning: social distance, perspective, gaze, and modality. A total of 31 images depicting human participants were analyzed. The findings reveal that most images are represented through medium shots (77.41%) and oblique angles (96.78%), tending to position learners primarily as observers rather than symbolically involved participants. Additionally, the use of simplified and stylized visual modality emphasizes visual simplicity while potentially reducing contextual immersion. These findings suggest that while the textbook’s visual design may foreground instructional clarity and content delivery, it may provide fewer visual cues for interpersonal involvement and participatory positioning. The study offers analytically informed recommendations for textbook developers and educators to adopt a more balanced visual grammar that integrates both observational and participatory framing to enhance learner engagement.

Abstract

This chapter examines the role of Wayground (formerly Quizizz) in improving English as Foreign Language (EFL) skills through a case study perspective examining teachers’ perceptions. The aim is to discuss teachers’ positive and negative perceptions regarding the advantages, challenges, and practical steps for optimization in an EFL context. The focus of the discussion is derived from qualitative insights gained from previous research paired with empirical research highlighting key issues such as lack of student engagement, rote data-based assessment without learning, and test anxiety. Teachers largely have a positive view of Wayground due to its interactive features and real-time feedback mechanisms that actively engage and motivate learners. However, challenges related to quiz design, technological infrastructure, and the need for ongoing professional development are also important to further explore. This chapter outlines teachers’ perceptions of Wayground, its challenges, and specific educator-centered strategies aimed at increasing participatory engagement while addressing data-related instructional and technological barriers all framed in maximizing the benefits offered by Wayground. Ultimately, this chapter contributes to the understanding of how powerful technological tools like Wayground can revolutionize EFL pedagogy towards a more engaging, effective, and inclusive educational paradigm.

Abstract

This article explores how internet memes aid university students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in getting better at vocabulary acquisition. It argues that because of the nature of internet memes, memes use words and pictures, are often funny, and are part of popular culture, they are a new and unique way to learn and remember words used in daily communication. The article explains a simple plan showing how using memes can help students understand words better, remember them, and use them more actively and effectively. It shows how important it is to use resources from the digital world to make learning English more interesting, engaging, and useful. And the discussion ended with the suggestion that to improve language skills, we don't need to stick to traditional techniques; we can also get media and learning methods online, or even use both. One of the ways to improve language skills is by using internet memes because memes are equipped with several characteristics that make learning fun. However, it is important to note that we cannot rely on internet memes alone; it is better to use internet memes as supplementary tools.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of nursery rhymes as an instructional strategy to improve the listening comprehension skills of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 02 Pedurungan Kidul, Semarang, in the 2025/2026 academic year. Listening comprehension is a crucial foundation for language learning and successful communication, yet many elementary learners struggle to achieve adequate competence in this domain. To address this issue, nursery rhymes that are both age-appropriate and culturally relevant were integrated into the listening lessons, aiming to strengthen learners’ engagement, vocabulary acquisition, and interpretive skills. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the study compared two groups of fifth graders: one receiving conventional listening instruction and the other engaging with a nursery rhyme–based approach over a ten-week period. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and student feedback to assess comprehension progress, attention span, and motivation. Results indicated that the group taught with nursery rhymes achieved significantly better post-test outcomes, demonstrated greater concentration in listening activities, and reported more positive attitudes than the control group. The study suggests that the repetitive, rhythmic, and contextually simple nature of nursery rhymes makes them a valuable tool for developing listening skills in young EFL learners. The implications highlight the importance of adapting curriculum, enhancing teacher preparation, and applying innovative pedagogical practices.
