Abstract

Critical thinking is increasingly seen as an important competency in learning to speak English as a Foreign Language (EFL), but qualitative evidence regarding its implementation and development is still scattered and has not been comprehensively synthesized. This research aims to synthesize the results of qualitative research regarding the conceptualization, implementation, and experiences of students and teachers in developing critical thinking through EFL speaking learning. The research was conducted using a systematic literature review method following PRISMA guidelines. Data sources are reputable scientific articles published in the 2019–2024 period and obtained from various academic databases. Articles were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, then analyzed using thematic synthesis techniques. The results of the study show three main themes, namely: (1) critical thinking is understood as the ability to analyze, evaluate, provide reasons and make decisions in speaking activities; (2) learning strategies such as discussion, debate, problem-based learning, argumentation, and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) are effective in encouraging the development of critical thinking; and (3) teachers and students view speaking activities as a potential means for developing critical thinking skills. This study also identified research limitations in aspects of assessment, longitudinal studies, and EFL contexts that are still underrepresented. Research findings emphasize the importance of implementing dialogical and reflective speaking learning to develop critical thinking skills optimally.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of love, loss, and longing in Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee" and Bai Juyi's "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" through a comparative literature approach. David Damrosch is used to compare the two poems as works that transcend cultural and historical boundaries. This study uses qualitative methods with a comparative literary analysis approach to the textual elements of both poems. The results show that both poems demonstrate that love, loss, and longing are universal human experiences, but they are represented through different poetic strategies and cultural values. Poe presents personal and romantic emotional expressions, while Bai Juyi connects them to broader historical and social contexts. Keywords: Love, Loss, Longing, Comparative Literature

Abstract

English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) has expanded rapidly across non-Anglophone universities over the past two decades, yet the research landscape remains theoretically fragmented and methodologically uneven. This systematic literature review (SLR) synthesises empirical and conceptual scholarship on EMI in higher education published between 2013 and 2024. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines (Page et al., 2021), a structured search across Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and Google Scholar yielded 68 peer-reviewed articles after rigorous screening (initial pool: n = 1,847). Thematic synthesis and bibliometric mapping were applied to the final corpus. Five overarching themes were identified: (1) pedagogical challenges and faculty experience; (2) language attitudes and student outcomes; (3) EMI policy implementation gaps; (4) content learning outcomes; and (5) identity, ideology, and power. A clear temporal pattern was observed: pre-2018 studies relied predominantly on perception-based surveys, whereas post-2018 scholarship has shifted toward qualitative, theoretically grounded, and critically oriented designs. The review proposes the EMI Quality Ecosystem (EQE) model — an original integrative framework linking macro-level policy, meso-level institutional governance, and micro-level classroom dynamics. Findings carry implications for EMI policymakers, curriculum designers, teacher educators, and researchers, particularly regarding the need for discipline-specific support structures and linguistically responsive assessment.
