Abstract

This study aimed to know the use of the interculture-based language learning (IBLL) model to improve learners’ speaking skills integrated with linguistic awareness and their responses to learning experiences. A mixed-method study was employed, employing the concurrent embedded design, to investigate the learning processes associated with the IBLL model in enhancing speaking skills. The data consisted of qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were collected using observation sheets and interviews, while the qualitative data were attained using tests. The finding showed that the IBLL model facilitates learners to improve grammar competence, vocabulary acquisition, fluency, pronunciation, and description detail. The speaking improvement of learners was affected with learners’ linguistic awareness. Based on this, learners have positive responses to the use of the IBLL model in the speaking class. This study can be concluded that the use of the IBLL model was able to improve speaking skills viewed from linguistic awareness. The implication of the current study acknowledges that language learning goes beyond mere linguistic competence and it entails an exploration of cultural nuances, social contexts, and the interconnectedness between language and societal practices.

Abstract

Islamic contents and English were taught at Islamic Boarding School (IBS) Haramain Nahdlatul Wathan (NW) Narmada. English is taught as a general subject and compulsory subject as well. An English community (Language Asrama) is established by Kiai. It is aimed at practicing speaking English and exercising public speaking skills. IBS Haramain NW Narmada includes one of the IBSs in Indonesia in which it reflected Islamic values, cultures, and indoctrination in its teaching and learning. The pieces of evidence showed that this institution taught English for students (Santri) as a tool to gain global information around the world. Dealing with the ELT classrooms, IBS Haramian NW Narmada employed some learning strategies reflecting Islamic cultures and values such as syawir, Lalar, Hafal (memorizing), and Setoran (deposit). The strong emphasis on Arabic and English in daily communication addresses the immersion language program. It is a method applied to teach foreign languages. Based on the application, the IBS Haramain NW Narmada applied a total immersion program, in which Arabic and English are the target languages.

Abstract

The complexity of the reading process, which poses significant challenges for EFL and ESL learners, underpins this research into effective strategies for both reading comprehension and answering English reading texts.  This qualitative phenomenological research aimed to explore the strategies that students use during reading activities and while taking reading comprehension tests. The study involved four fourth-semester students, differentiated by gender and achievement levels: a high-achieving female, a low-achieving female, a high-achieving male, and a low-achieving male. The research identified that students employed a variety of strategies, with 11 metacognitive strategies being used out of a possible 23, including determining word meaning, making connections, inferring, and summarizing. Additionally, four out of the five FIVES reading strategies were utilized: inference, vocabulary, summarization, and experience. High-achieving students employed more strategies, leading to better comprehension and higher test scores. For test-taking, strategies such as careful time management, revisiting difficult questions, and employing process-of-elimination techniques were noted. The effectiveness of both reading and test-taking strategies, along with factors like topic familiarity and the ability to make inferences, were crucial in determining reading success. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions that focus on teaching effective strategies, enhancing topic familiarity, and supporting students in developing robust test-taking strategies, particularly for low-achieving students.

Abstract

English language skills are currently considered important as one of the fundamental requirements for continuing an educational career or work. This community service research aims to improve English skills for the younger generation through the Alam Daur Community, a community engaged in literacy in the Central Lombok area. The English Intensive program is implemented online using the Zoom application. The method used was the cooperative learning method, participants were involved in webinar sessions, discussions, conversation simulations, and exercises that were relevant to daily activities and the needs of students. The results of the study showed that the intensive English program carried out for one full month through the zoom platform effectively stimulated children's skills. This could be seen from the post-test results which showed an increase in scores. In addition, other results proved that there was a strong relationship between tutors and participants and a fast exchange of information. Student involvement and motivation as well as increasing teacher capacity were also discussed. In line with Rena Pasick, Wilma Brakefield-Caldwell of Detroit, Michigan, and Edith Parker, this study recommends strong and ongoing collaboration, so that existing changes can be evaluated and treatments can be continuously developed for the institutions and communities involved.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of English Language Teaching (ELT) materials incorporating Sasak local wisdom in enhancing learners' intercultural competence and speaking skills, aligning with the Pancasila learners' profiles. The research adopts a mixed-method concurrent embedded design, combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The experimental aspect utilizes a pretest-posttest control group design, where learners' speaking skills and intercultural competence are assessed before and after the implementation of the local wisdom-based materials. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical methods, while qualitative data from learner feedback and observations were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that integrating Sasak local wisdom into ELT materials significantly enhances learners’ communication skills, particularly in speaking classes. The cultural relevance of the materials engages students more deeply, allowing them to relate to the content and express themselves more fluently. Additionally, learners demonstrate improved intercultural competence, gaining a broader understanding of both local and global cultures. Learner feedback highlights the positive impact of cultural integration, with many students expressing that the materials’ relatability fosters a more enjoyable and meaningful learning experience. The implications of these findings suggest that local culture-based ELT materials should be more widely incorporated into EFL curricula to create engaging, culturally relevant learning environments. This approach not only improves language proficiency but also fosters intercultural awareness, preparing learners to navigate cross-cultural communication more effectively. Integrating local cultural elements in the curriculum enriches learners’ language learning experience and promotes a more inclusive, globally informed perspective.

Abstract

This study investigated the use of genre-based language teaching model in the teaching of writing skills to improve students’ low achievement. It was aimed at improving the achievement of the fifth semester of English language education study program. This study was classroom action research. The subjects were the 4th semester in academic year 2017/2018. The procedure of the study included two steps namely the preliminary study and the action. The preliminary study collected information dealing with the students’ problems and the action presented the steps of the classroom action research. The data were collected through observation, questionnaire, and testing. The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The result of the study showed that the genre-based language teaching model can improve the students’ writing achievement. Before the action, the average score of students’ writing achievement was 55 and the average score after the action was 76. The result was higher than the subject minimum passing grade which is 75. The improvement was supported by two indicators. First, students felt easy to write a descriptive text because the teaching steps guided them to practice writing much more according to the generic structures of the text. Last but not least, students felt compatible with the topics asked to be written because they have background knowledge of those.
