Abstract

This study examines how critical thinking is integrated into EFL speaking instruction in higher education. A qualitative design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of lecturers' critical thinking and speaking instruction. The study was conducted at Muhammadiyah University of Bone and involved 4 lecturers and 14 students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis of lesson plans. The data were analyzed inductively using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns in lecturers’ perceptions and instructional strategies. The analysis focused on three interconnected stages of instruction: planning, action, and evaluation. The findings reveal that lecturers perceive critical thinking in speaking as the ability to analyze issues, justify opinions with evidence, and respond thoughtfully to counterarguments. Students’ classroom participation also showed that critical thinking emerged through their ability to ask questions, compare viewpoints, justify opinions with evidence, respond to counterarguments, and reflect on the quality of their oral performance. They believe that students' speaking skills should be evaluated not only on fluency, pronunciation, and grammatical accuracy but also on their capacity to analyze issues, build logical arguments, use evidence, engage with differing viewpoints, and reflect critically on ideas.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the constraints that hinder the realization of critical thinking in students’ oral argumentation in higher education contexts. The study employed an interpretive qualitative case study design. The participants were four purposively selected lecturers who teach speaking courses emphasizing argumentative discussion at Universitas Muhammadiyah Bone. They had at least one semester of experience facilitating academic speaking activities and were selected through maximum variation sampling to capture diverse instructional perspectives. Data were collected through classroom observations, audio recordings of academic speaking activities, and interviews with lecturers. Thematic analysis was conducted iteratively to identify recurring linguistic, affective, and pedagogical constraints. The findings indicate that students’ oral argumentation is largely dominated by descriptive claims, with limited use of evidence, warrants, and rebuttals, revealing a gap between students’ critical thinking potential and their oral performance. This gap is affected by related language issues, like having a small vocabulary and not speaking smoothly; emotional factors, such as anxiety and fear of being judged; and teaching conditions, like not having enough training in argumentation and support for academic reading and writing. The study concludes that critical thinking in oral argumentation should be understood as a context-dependent and discursive practice rather than merely an individual cognitive ability. So, the research highlights the importance of teaching methods that combine language skills, emotional support, and clear training in argumentation to help improve critical thinking through speaking in higher education.

Abstract

Multicultural instruction has become increasingly important in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms as students bring diverse cultural, linguistic, and social backgrounds into the learning process. However, its classroom implementation remains challenging, particularly in junior high school contexts where teachers must balance language objectives, student diversity, curriculum demands, and limited institutional support. This study employed a qualitative case study design to investigate teachers’ challenges in implementing multicultural instruction in Indonesian junior high school EFL classrooms. Data were collected through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis involving English teachers, school principals, and MGMP Head. The data were analysed thematically to identify recurring patterns related to teachers’ challenges. The findings reveal three major challenges: limited institutional support, teachers faced a lack of multicultural teaching materials, and Student diversity in Classroom Interaction. The study concludes that multicultural instruction in Indonesian EFL classrooms operates as an adaptive and contextualized pedagogical practice that requires stronger institutional support, culturally relevant resources, and sustained teacher professional development in interacting students’ diversity. The findings imply the need for stronger school support, localized multicultural materials, and continues teacher training to strengthen inclusive classroom practice. However, due to the limited number of participants and the specific junior high school context, further research involving broader settings and larger participant group is needed to provide more comprehensive insight into multicultural instruction.

Abstract

Research on Diagnostic Assessment (DA) in remote schools in Indonesia is essential, as education in these areas has been a focus of the government attention for several decades and continues for future. This study provides an overview of teachers' readiness in implementing DA, particularly regarding their efficacy and self-perceptions. This study aims to describe teachers' confidence in conducting DA and their perceptions of its benefits for learning. Data were collected from 35 teachers with varying employment statuses and teaching experience using a questionnaire with linear-scale responses. The questionnaire measured efficacy across four aspects using twelve statements and perceptions across three aspects using nine statements. The questionnaire was distributed online via Google Forms. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in frequency tables. The findings reveal that teachers in remote schools have a high level of confidence in their ability to implement DA, adapted to the conditions of underdeveloped areas. Teachers perceive DA as fundamentally effective in transforming learning conditions, although it has not yet provided optimal benefits in various related aspects. Its implementation is also considered to be insufficiently intensive. It is concluded that teachers in remote schools are capable of implementing DA and are concerned about the current suboptimal execution of DA. The findings of this study suggest that while teachers in remote areas are confident in their ability to implement DA, further support and resources are necessary to optimize its use. Enhancing training programs and increasing the intensity of DA application could contribute to more effective teaching and learning outcomes, especially in under-resourced and geographically isolated settings
