Abstract

The demands of spontaneous and confident communication are still major challenges for adult learners in professional settings. However, role-play is often used in speaking classes that are carried out in academic contexts with homogeneous participants or in certain educational settings. However, there are still limited studies that examine how role-play functions in heterogeneous workplacetrainin contexts involving participants with diverse professional roles,ages, and English proficiency levels. This study aims to explore how classroom dynamics through role-play activities shape speaking skills in workplace English training. A qualitative approach was employed involving fifteen employees at PT Pulp Indonesia from different professional divisions who participated in a ten-session English training program. Data were collected through classroom observation during four role-play sessions and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed through thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s framework. The findings indicate that the speaking development did not occur instantly through task repetition, but emerged through a gradual transformation of classroom dynamics. In the early stages, there is an unequal interaction of participants, dominated by certain participants, anxiety, and lack of confidence, especially in older participants or those with low levels of English proficiency. As the role-play session progresses, emotional tension decreases and interaction patterns become cooperative. Passive participants initiate and show a more spontaneous response. These findings show that the development of speaking skills is formed through the reconstruction of participation patterns and the reduction of psychological barriers in the context of heterogeneous professional training. These findings contribute to the understanding of workplace English pedagogy by highlighting the role of social dynamics and professional hierarchies in shaping participation and the development of speaking skills in the context of training.

Abstract

This qualitative case study explores students’ perspectives on the misalignment between English summative assessments and classroom instruction in an Islamic senior high school (Madrasah Aliyah) EFL context in Indonesia. Data were collected from ten students and one teacher through semi-structured interviews, followed by document analysis. Thematic analysis revealed that students consistently perceived a gap between classroom instruction and tested competencies. Document analysis confirmed that several skills assessed in the exam were not adequately covered during instruction. Students reported confusion, anxiety, perceived unfairness, and declining motivation when facing unfamiliar test items. These experiences also reduced self-confidence and academic engagement in English learning. In response, students used coping strategies such as guessing answers and relying on peers, while teachers attempted limited instructional adjustments despite restricted control over test design. The study concludes that assessment misalignment affects both test validity and students’ emotional and behavioral engagement, highlighting the need for stronger alignment and increased teacher involvement in assessment design.

Abstract

This study examines the perspectives of teachers and students on the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) by employing a systematic approach guided by the PRISMA framework. Of the total 225 journals found through the Mendeley, Taylor&Francis, and ScienceDirect databases (2020-2024), as many as 21 relevant articles were analyzed in depth. The research methods include, qualitative evaluation, using library research. The result of the study showed that CLT has great potential in improving students' communication skills through activities such as group discussions and real-life situations. Students show a positive attitude towards CLT because the activities are relevant to their communication needs. However, challenges such as time constraints, supporting materials, and teacher training hinder its implementation. Many teachers continue to use traditional methods due to limited training and institutional support, even though they recognize the benefits of CLT. The study recommends intensive training for teachers, curriculum reform, and the use of digital tools to support CLT learning. Adaptation of this method to the cultural and social needs of students is also needed to maximize learning outcomes. These findings provide important insights for the development of education policies that support the effective implementation of CLT.

Abstract

This study investigates differences in English reading comprehension and strategic reading behaviour between monolingual and bilingual Indonesian pre-service teachers. Situated in a multilingual English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, the study addresses how students’ language backgrounds may shape their ability to process English texts, use comprehension strategies, and respond to higher-order reading tasks. A qualitative comparative design was employed with 12 six-semester undergraduate students from a department at one state Islamic university in Banten. Participants were purposively grouped into six monolingual and six bilingual students based on their self-reported language-use profiles. Data were collected through a language-background questionnaire, TOEFL-based reading tasks, and semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed thematically by comparing recurring patterns in participants’ strategy use, reported reading difficulties, and comprehension performance. The findings indicate that bilingual students showed stronger strategic flexibility than monolingual students, particularly in skimming, scanning, vocabulary inference, and activation of prior knowledge. Bilingual participants were also more likely to connect information across languages and use their linguistic repertoire to support comprehension. Monolingual participants tended to rely on linear reading and word-by-word translation, which often slowed comprehension. However, both groups experienced difficulty with main-idea and inference questions, indicating the need for explicit instruction in higher-order comprehension strategies. The study concludes that bilingualism may provide cognitive and strategic resources that support second-language reading, but these advantages require pedagogical support to become effective academic reading skills.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the landscape of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, making technology integration not only beneficial but essential. This study examines the application of the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) model as a framework for enhancing learning outcomes in digital EFL environments. Through a literature review approach, the research synthesizes findings from recent studies to identify effective strategies, pedagogical benefits, and challenges associated with implementing technology using the SAMR model. The analysis indicates that technology integration at the higher levels of SAMR—Modification and Redefinition—enables deeper learning experiences by promoting collaboration, creativity, and communicative competence. Meanwhile, even basic levels of integration, such as Substitution and Augmentation, contribute to improved efficiency and accessibility of EFL learning materials. However, the study also highlights challenges, including limited digital literacy among teachers, inadequate infrastructure, and varying student readiness. Overall, the findings demonstrate that the SAMR model plays a significant role in enhancing student engagement, interactivity, and autonomy, ultimately supporting more meaningful and dynamic EFL learning in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to compare two artificial intelligences, ChatGPT and Quillbot, to evaluate their benefits towards EFL learners' Writing skill. English is an international language used for global communication, particularly in contemporary times. Traditional classroom techniques seldom give enough practice, prompting the integration of Artificial Intelligence. ChatGPT utilizes to finding out the topic. Meanwhile, Quillbot utilizes to paraphrase text automatically in sentence or paragraph, and QuillBot will generate several different paraphrasing alternatives, but still retain the original meaning. Moreover, this research employed qualitative descriptive techniques, involving observation and interviews with undergraduate and postgraduate student at the Islamic State University in Banten. Participants engaged in writing using both artificial intelligences to assess their understanding, vocabulary, awareness, grammar, and confidence. The findings reveal that ChatGPT more interactive in finding out the topic but it can be challenging in paraphrasing text. Quillbot, though less in finding out the topic or idea but it has many features to support in writing especially in paraphrasing and summarizing text. The study concludes that both artificial intelligences have unique advantages and disadvantages. Quillbot is more suitable for academic writing or blog articles, because it helps to clear up the sentence structure and ChatGpt is appropriate to find out the idea to begin writing
