Abstract

This qualitative study explores the influence of TikTok on the English script-writing development of Indonesian EFL students in a pesantren-based language learning program. Using a case study design, six students and one instructor participated through interviews, classroom observations, questionnaires, and analysis of student-generated scripts. The study aimed to identify how sustained exposure to TikTok's short-form, multimodal content shapes learners’ written expression, creativity, and linguistic awareness. Findings reveal that TikTok fosters increased expressiveness, narrative concision, and audience sensitivity in student scripts. Participants drew from platform features such as trending language, dialogic cues, and visual storytelling, which they translated into idiomatic phrases, informal transitions, and creative dialogue structures in writing. The social and interactive nature of TikTok encouraged risk-taking and self-regulated learning behaviors, including rewatching videos for tone and accuracy and mimicking fluent speech. However, the study also highlights persistent challenges, particularly in grammar accuracy and register appropriateness, suggesting that while TikTok can stimulate creativity and engagement, it does not inherently provide corrective feedback or support formal writing norms. Educators are encouraged to incorporate TikTok thoughtfully using it as a scaffold for idea generation and stylistic awareness while complementing it with explicit instruction in grammar and genre conventions. This research contributes to evolving perspectives on the integration of social media in second language writing pedagogy.

Abstract

This study aimed to understand how teachers and students perceived the use of the STIFIn concept in improving students' speaking skills. The STIFIn concept, which was based on five types of human intelligence—sensing, thinking, intuiting, feeling, and instinct—was believed to help design more personalized and effective learning strategies. The study used a qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of semi-structured interviews with teachers and students. Motivator Quran Darussalam, a high school Islamic boarding school, is located at the research site. The steps used to collect data included conducting interviews, making observations, and reviewing documents related to teaching speaking skills. Data reduction, data display, data condensation, and conclusion drafting are methods of data analysis. The results of the research were that the use of the STIFIn concept helped teachers to recognize the characteristics of students' intelligence and thus to adapt teaching methods more appropriately. Students also reported an improvement in their self-confidence and speaking skills following the implementation of the method. However, there were still some challenges in adapting the method to different types of student intelligence, which required in-depth training and understanding on the part of teachers. Overall, the STIFIn concept offered a new approach that could enrich language teaching in the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) technique in improving students’ speaking skills at junior high school. The background of this research is based on the fact that speaking is often the most challenging aspect of English language learning, as students tend to fear making mistakes and lack self-confidence. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental group and a control group. The instruments used were speaking tests, observation, and documentation. Data analysis using the t-test revealed a significant difference between students taught using the TSTS technique and those who were not. The findings indicate that the TSTS technique is effective in enhancing students' speaking skills, as it promotes active interaction, idea exchange, and increased confidence. The implications of this study suggest that teachers are encouraged to integrate the TSTS technique in speaking instruction to create a more communicative and participatory learning environment.

Abstract

Family-based English language learning gained attention as an alternative to formal education, yet limited research explored its practical implementation. Discrepancies existed between theoretical models of language acquisition and how families applied them at home. This study aimed to investigate how interactive learning strategies within a family environment supported English language development. Using a narrative inquiry approach focused on one multilingual family, this research explored daily practices and challenges encountered. Findings revealed that engaging in daily English conversations, utilizing multimedia, fostering self-directed learning, offering emotional support, and promoting a growth mindset significantly enhanced language acquisition. These practices reflected major theories such as Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development, Mayer’s Multimedia Learning Theory, Benson’s Self-Directed Learning Framework, Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, and Dweck’s Growth Mindset Theory. Challenges included limited parental proficiency, time constraints, learner motivation fluctuations, technology access issues, and the need for careful error correction. The study concluded that family involvement, even without formal training, successfully bridged theoretical and practical gaps in language learning. Further research was recommended to examine diverse family settings and develop intervention programs to strengthen family-based learning.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores teachers' and students' perceptions of the Three-Phase Technique (TPT) in reading instruction, a method designed to enhance reading comprehension through three distinct stages: pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 5 teachers and 10 students in senior high school, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that both teachers and students recognized the benefits of TPT in improving reading comprehension, particularly in activating prior knowledge, maintaining focus during reading, and promoting deeper reflection post-reading. However, time constraints and the need for differentiation emerged as key challenges in its implementation. Teachers noted that adjusting the technique to meet the diverse needs of students was essential for maximizing its effectiveness. The study also highlighted the importance of metacognitive awareness, with both teachers and students emphasizing how the reflective nature of TPT encouraged students to become more self-aware of their reading strategies. These findings suggest that while TPT is a valuable tool for enhancing reading comprehension, its implementation requires thoughtful adaptation to address the unique challenges within each classroom setting.
