Abstract

Teacher feedback plays a central role in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms because it supports students' language development and shapes the quality of classroom interaction. Although previous studies have extensively examined teacher feedback and classroom interaction, these areas have often been investigated separately, resulting in a limited understanding of how different forms of teacher feedback function within naturally occurring classroom discourse. This study investigates the connection between teacher feedback and student participation in an EFL class at an Indonesian university through qualitative discourse analysis utilizing the Initiation-Response-Feedback (IRF) model. Data for this research were gathered from four non-participant classroom observations. The audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed to examine how teacher feedback functioned within interactional sequences and influenced subsequent student participation. The findings identified three types of teacher feedback: corrective, evaluative, and interactional. Corrective feedback primarily functions as a repair, promoting immediate student uptake and linguistic accuracy. Evaluative feedback acknowledged students' responses but generally closed the interactional sequence. In contrast, interactional feedback functioned as a continuation move by encouraging follow-up responses, extended explanations, and additional interactional turns, thereby fostering sustained verbal participation. These findings suggest that teacher feedback should not only be understood as a pedagogical strategy for improving linguistic accuracy but also as an interactional resource that shapes the development of classroom discourse. This study contributes to EFL classroom discourse research by demonstrating how different feedback practices function within IRF sequences and offers practical implications for lecturers seeking to foster more interactive and participatory learning environments in their classrooms.

Abstract

English learning in Indonesia is often framed as a neutral response to globalization, yet its ideological dimensions become especially visible in religious educational contexts. Drawing on a postcolonial and critical applied linguistics lens, this study examines how English learning in pesantren has been represented in existing EFL research with particular attention to student resistance and re-appropriation. Adopting a narrative review approach, the study synthesizes 28 scholarly sources comprising peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and book chapters on EFL practices in pesantren. The findings show that resistance to English is shaped by ideological, curricular, interactional, and structural factors; it signals efforts to govern the language’s moral and cultural significance rather than a simple rejection of language learning. At the same time, English is actively re-appropriated through the localization of teaching materials, its use for Islamic purposes such as da‘wah, and hybrid multilingual strategies involving English, Arabic, and Indonesian. These processes accentuate forms of learner and teacher agency and challenge Western-centered models of English education. The study further emphasizes the need for context-sensitive pedagogies and highlights pesantren as an important site of postcolonial linguistic negotiation and epistemic agency.
