Abstract

This qualitative study looks at how English teachers use code switching in the classroom, focusing on its types, functions, and how it affects teaching in an Indonesian EFL setting. The study took place at a junior high school in Medan and included classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with a small number of English teachers. The results showed that code switching is Often used as a strategic teaching tool to help students understand better, control classroom interactions, and give emotional support. Teachers often switched codes between sentences and within sentences, mostly going from English to Bahasa Indonesia. The study found that code switching has a number of teaching uses, such as helping students understand concepts, translating vocabulary, and keeping students interested. Teachers thought code switching was a good thing because it helped people with different languages talk to each other in a meaningful way. But there were worries that people might rely too much on their first language, which could make it harder for them to learn English. The study's conclusion is that code switching can help teachers do their jobs well in EFL classrooms if they use it wisely. It suggests that teachers come up with clear plans for using code switching and that more research be done on how students feel about it and how it affects their learning.

Abstract

This study examines the experiences of English lecturers and nursing students utilising kinaesthetic games to learn prepositions of place in an English for Nursing course in Medan, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were gathered via classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate three primary themes: lecturers' experiences in employing kinaesthetic games, students' learning experiences, and the perceived advantages and challenges of the methodology. Both teachers and students said that kinaesthetic games made the classroom more lively, interesting, and interactive. Activities that involved movement helped students understand spatial meanings better, made them more confident, and made them less anxious about grammar. The games also helped kids work together and remember things better. But there were some problems, such as not enough room in the classroom, not enough time to get ready, and more noise. In general, the study finds that kinaesthetic games are a good way to teach prepositions of place in the Indonesian EFL nursing context. They have cognitive, emotional, and social benefits that help students learn grammar in a more meaningful way.
