Abstract

Non-English major teachers’ experiences of teaching English for young learners in Indonesia have not been widely studied until recent times. To fill the lacuna, this phenomenological study looks at the lived experiences of four teachers with non-English major backgrounds who teach English for young learners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants and teaching observations were also additionally carried out to triangulate the data. The data were then analyzed following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis. Findings suggest that the participating teachers encountered multi-level complexities in teaching English such as wording arrangement, sentence construction, spelling, mother tongue fossilization, and misbelief of English as a foreign language. The study also revealed the use of digital tools, songs, and games, as mostly utilized by the teachers. Interestingly, despite the non-English major backgrounds attached to the teachers, their teachings led to sustained and engaging English language learning among young learners. This study implies that pedagogical decisions have been of value to effective pedagogy and classroom activities in teaching English for young learners.

Abstract

Research into language teacher identity construction has proliferated in recent years. However, studies examining identity construction from an integral perspective of EFL teacher educators’ past, present, and future narratives seem sparse. To fill this lacuna, the present study was designed to explore five Indonesian EFL teacher educators’ identity construction from their past, present, and future narratives. This study’s data were generated through multiple life-historical interviews with the five participants. The thematic analysis showcased that language teacher identity is constructed as a continuum from the teachers’ past experiences as EFL learners, present experiences as lecturers and doctoral students, and future narratives as imagined teacher educators. The findings also revealed that the participating teachers constructed their language teacher identity through complex and context-dependent experiences in their past, present, and future narratives. Based on the study’s findings, we offer a novel approach to studying language teacher identity construction employing teachers’ three-dimensional narratives. This approach enables teachers to understand themselves and their relationships with social environments through the interconnectivity of their past, present, and future narratives.

Abstract

Contrary to popular belief that field experience should be held in local settings, teacher education programs currently initiate networking with other countries through the international teaching practicum (ITP) program. Considering the platform’s magnitude, this paper aims to explore the pre-service English teacher’s experiences during ITP to build professional development of EFL potential teachers from various activities abroad. In this study, a narrative inquiry was implemented and supplemented with data obtained from Tina (pseudonym), an EFL pre-service teacher in one of the Indonesian universities who joined a four-month ITP program abroad, particularly in Thailand. In collecting the data, semi-structured in-depth interviews that emphasized five eligibility aspects were used. The findings reveal that the pre-service teacher reaped plenty of meaningful experience from ITP in terms of the classroom situation, the implementation of basic teaching skills, the period of success or failure in teaching, values for EFL teacher candidates in ITP, critical incidents, and students’ general English competence after ITP. This study provides evidence and feedback for the institution for better planning and organization in implementing practicum. Further, it implies equipping student-teachers with sufficient skill and competence related to adaptability, cultural identity, fear, and emotions in facing challenging English instruction in the future through multiple exposures to teaching instruments and supporting situated environment facilities.

Abstract

Studies on English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ identity construction have been extensively investigated in recent years. However, the previous studies exclusively focused on teachers in higher education and neglected Global Englishes (GE) concept as a mediator in identity construction. Therefore, to fill this lacuna, the current narrative research study explored the identity construction of 10 Indonesian EFL secondary school teachers in the Global Englishes era. The data were gathered through in-depth interviews and observations and were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis. Findings were elaborated into six emerging themes; they were 1) teachers’ perspectives of Global Englishes, 2) the goal of teaching English, 3) native speaker fallacy, 4) the use of mother tongue, 5) the use of Western cultures, and 6) the use of international English textbooks. Based on the investigation, the teachers echoed multiple identities as English teachers vis-à-vis the Global Englishes era. Although they are aware of such an issue, their tenets to adhere to the practice of native speaker fallacy are still strongly held. In other words, our study revealed a perceptual mismatch among the teachers with regard to their identities in a Global Englishes era.

Abstract

Current research has looked at learner identity as a single construct and is studied as a separate entity from English as a foreign language (EFL) learners

Abstract

Extensive research on Global Englishes (GE) experiences has been investigated in response to the calls for using English as a global language and multicultural communication tool. However, previous studies were entirely concerned with higher education and language course teachers. Thus, to fill this lacuna, this current research dispensed the experiences of five senior English teachers dealing with GE in Islamic boarding school settings in Indonesia using a narrative inquiry. The five participants in this study were selected purposefully based on their teaching experience of more than 20 years. The data were gathered using individual in-depth interviews and analysed following Braun and Clarkes thematic analysis procedure. Results revealed that most participating teachers were unaware of the GE variations. Their inadequate knowledge of GE was seen in how they perceived issues of native-speaker ideology, the use of L1, the inclusion of Western culture, and the use of English textbooks in their classes. The studys findings suggest that raising GE awareness of English teachers is essential since the paradigm shift of English as a global language has received considerable and critical attention in academia. In addition, the findings demand GE awareness to be included in the secondary school English curriculum. Finally, the use of narrative inquiry in this study is also promising in revealing teachers lived experiences personally and professionally.

Abstract

While prior research has widely examined domestic teaching practicum, limited attention has been given to the specific challenges EFL pre-service teachers face in international settings and how these experiences inform their development as educators. Adopting a narrative research design, this study delves into the lived experiences of Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers, uncovering nuanced insights through their stories. The findings reveal four primary challenges: distinguishing academic orders, navigating instructional culture shock, adapting to language barriers, and managing insufficient learning facilities. Despite these hurdles, the PSTs employed innovative coping strategies, transforming obstacles into meaningful learning opportunities. The narrative accounts also highlight five significant benefits gained from the practicum: increased teaching confidence, enhanced skills in lesson planning and activity supervision, alignment of teaching methods with diverse learning styles, improved proficiency in constructing learning assessments, and expanded professional networks. This study encourages teacher education programs to include global teaching competencies and an international teaching curriculum into the teaching and learning enactment.How to cite this paper: Yuyun, Y., Suhartoyo, E., Ubaidillah, M.

Abstract

Research on emotional geographies in EFL learning has been extensively carried out. However, the studies have mostly focused on the context of teachers' rather than students' emotional geographies. Informed by the emotional geographies framework, this study investigated the ways in which three EFL students construct and experience their emotional geographies while engaging in group work assignments. It specifically focuses on the participants’ past, present, and future experiences of participating in group work and how they deal with emotional issues. The study employed a narrative inquiry to elicit participants' lived experiences with in-depth interviews to collect the data. This method is considered appropriate for research designs that allow exploration of the emotional dimensions and experiences of participants in their past, present, and future through storytelling. For the data collection, this study conducted interviews in two ways, including direct interviews and online interviews. The findings show various negative emotional geographies experienced by EFL students in their group assignment participation, such as frustration, anxiety, insecurity, and disappointment. It also reveals that participants overcome those emotional issues in several ways, including adjusting their personalities, taking on more responsibility than others, and asking for help from third parties. The limitation of this study is the single data collection method, namely, interviews, which may affect the generalizability of the data. This study suggests more supportive learning environments by providing more information about group emotions and dynamics to students. Future research is encouraged to explore EFL students’ emotions in different contexts.
