Abstract

This study investigates how English teachers promote cross cultural values by examining the strategies they use, their understanding of cross-cultural concepts, and the challenges they encounter. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were gathered through interviews and classroom observations. The findings show that teachers integrate cross cultural values mainly through comparative discussions, the use of authentic cultural materials, and reflective tasks that guide students to recognize cultural similarities and differences. Although teachers acknowledge the importance of cross-cultural awareness, their conceptual understanding is still limited and varies based on professional experience and training. The study also identifies several challenges, including the lack of culturally rich resources, limited institutional support, and concerns about addressing culturally sensitive issues in the classroom. Overall, the results highlight that teachers contribute meaningfully to cross cultural learning but require stronger pedagogical support and more structured guidance to integrate these values effectively in English language teaching.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Among Us game in enhancing EFL students' speaking skills and to explore their perceptions of its implementation in speaking classes. The study employed a mixed-methods approach with a one-group pre-test–post-test pre-experimental design. Although 25 students initially participated, only 12 students completed all stages of the study and were included in the quantitative analysis. Quantitative data were collected through speaking performance tests administered before and after the intervention, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with five participants. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, a paired-sample t-test, and normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis, while the qualitative data were analyzed using narrative analysis. The results indicated a medium level of improvement in students' speaking performance based on the mean N-Gain score of 0.4715. The qualitative findings represented students' perceptions and indicated that they became more willing to communicate, perceived improvements in their speaking performance, and developed greater self-confidence when using English in classroom activities. The novelty of this study lies in combining empirical evidence from pre- and post-intervention speaking performance with students' reported learning experiences to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the implementation of Among Us in EFL speaking instruction. These findings suggest that the Among Us game has potential as a game-based learning medium for creating an engaging, interactive, and communicative environment that supports EFL speaking instruction.
