Abstract

The integration of e-learning platforms in university settings has experienced notable growth, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative case study explored university lecturers' perceptions regarding the use of e-learning for teaching English literacy skills, specifically reading and writing. Semi-structured interviews were utilized for data collection with six lecturers from the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, who taught literacy courses during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings revealed a spectrum of lecturers' experiences, beliefs, and attitudes toward e-learning-based literacy instruction. While initial challenges were encountered during the transition to online learning, the lecturers recognized benefits such as flexibility, efficient material sharing, and enabling remote assignments. However, connectivity issues, difficulties monitoring student progress, and the need for robust technological skills were identified as significant challenges. The lecturers advocated learner-centered, multimodal pedagogical approaches and emphasized the importance of balanced, blended learning that integrates both traditional classroom and online elements. The study highlights the potential of e-learning for enhancing English literacy education while underscoring the need to address infrastructural and pedagogical barriers.

Abstract

This century's learning advancement relies on different information technology mediums. Thus, educators must improve their ICT skills to improve learning and academic performance. There are two main goals of this study: 1) to find out how TPACK is used to teach and learn English in high school; and 2) to find out what problems English teachers run into when they try to use TPACK. The type of study being done is qualitative. Interviews, documentation, and observation were some of the methods used to gather information for this study. This study looks at 34 kids from XII IPA and one English teacher. English teachers' TPACK knowledge comes from how well technology fits with their teaching methods and English subject knowledge. Technology lets the teacher apply several instructional strategies for several learning environments. According to the Merdeka Curriculum, technology allows SMA 13 Makassar students to learn at their own pace and according to their choices. The English teacher utilized Quizizz or Google Classroom to handle assignments and provide timely feedback. Network service variability affects student engagement and learning equity. SMA 13 Makassar students may need help with coursework, internet forums, and extracurricular resources. While TPACK-based teaching depends on online resources, unreliable network connectivity limits availability. English teachers needing digital libraries, web-based platforms, or multimedia materials need consistent internet access. Unreliable access to these tools can interfere with courses requiring live quizzes, direct assessments, or online group projects to help students grasp complex English literature.

Abstract

This study explores teachers' perceptions and experiences implementing translanguaging strategies in rural English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms in south Buton, Indonesia. This research is a case study where the limit of this research is to focus on teacher perceptions and experiences in implementing translanguaging in English language learning in three secondary schools in rural areas in South Buton, Indonesia. The subjects of this research were three English teachers at three different schools in South Buton. This subject is expected to provide an overview of teachers' perceptions and experiences in implementing translanguaging in some rural schools in an Indonesian context. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and class observation with three experienced EFL teachers at three rural junior high schools in South Buton. The findings reveal that teachers perceive translanguaging as effectively enhancing students' learning comprehension, and the use of translanguaging can create inclusive and culturally responsive learning in EFL classrooms. The study highlights predominantly positive attitudes towards translanguaging, with teachers perceiving it as an effective tool for facilitating learning in linguistically diverse classrooms. Teachers report positive experiences, citing improved student understanding, increased engagement, and preservation of linguistic and cultural identities. The teachers' experience actively incorporated translanguaging strategies, using code-switching between English, Indonesian, and the local Cia-Cia language to enhance student comprehension. While acknowledging challenges such as balancing multiple languages and potential impacts on English proficiency development, teachers remain confident in translanguaging's effectiveness. This research is expected to contribute to the growing literature on translanguaging in EFL contexts and offer insights for educators in linguistically diverse settings.

Abstract

The aims of this study were to find out the English students’ ability in paraphrasing academic writing texts and the students’ perceptions of paraphrasing academic writing texts. The researcher applied a case study research design. The data collection used mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative data). The data for this research were collected through test and an interview. The researcher employed the test as an instrument to discover the students' ability to paraphrase academic writing texts. Meanwhile, interviews were conducted to reveal students' perceptions of paraphrasing in academic writing texts. The sample for the test were 31 students. All participants for the test must meet the following criteria: Participants must be currently enrolled as students in the English Study Program and must be registered in an academic writing class. The test given to students focuses on four aspects by Jordan (1999), namely paraphrasing by changing synonyms, verb forms, word classes, and synthesis. In the interview session, seven students were selected for the interview. They were selected based on their respective abilities. This was done to make the students' perceptions more varied. The results of the study showed that students' paraphrasing ability by replacing vocabulary with synonyms were in the excellent category with the percentages of 67.74% and paraphrasing ability by replacing verb forms (active and passive) were also in the excellent category with the percentages 48.38%. However, students' ability to paraphrase by replacing word classes were in the unsatisfactory category, with student percentages of 70.96% and students' ability to paraphrase by synthesizing sentences were also in the unsatisfactory category, with student percentages of 48.38%. In the terms of students’ perceptions of paraphrasing academic writing text, the study found that despite many challenges students face in paraphrasing academic writing texts such as students lack of vocabulary, grammatical problems, and difficulty understanding the text, students believe that by doing strategies such as reading widely, practicing regularly, and improving skills, as well as support from lecturers, students can improve their paraphrasing skills for the better

Abstract

This study investigates the use of cooperative learning to enhance student engagement in the English classroom at SMP Negeri 1 Mare. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through observations and interviews involving one teacher and ten eighth-grade students. The research explores perceptions and challenges in implementing cooperative learning and seeks strategies for improvement. Findings indicate that both teacher and students perceive cooperative learning as highly beneficial. The teacher integrates strategies such as Think-Pair-Share, role assignments, and reflective questioning to foster active participation and collaborative learning. Students report increased motivation, reduced anxiety, and improved confidence in using English, especially in speaking and vocabulary tasks.However, challenges persist. Unequal participation, time management issues, and occasional group conflicts were observed. The teacher addresses these through structured group roles, frequent feedback, and adaptive support. Students also demonstrate problem-solving by improving communication and collaboration skills. The study concludes that cooperative learning promotes a more interactive, inclusive, and dynamic classroom environment. While implementation challenges remain, strategic adjustments and clear guidance can significantly enhance the effectiveness of cooperative learning. These insights offer practical implications for teachers seeking to optimize engagement in English language instruction through collaborative methods.

Abstract

This study explores how primary school teachers informally identify and categorize students’ learning styles in the classroom. While learning style theories such as Fleming’s VARK model are widely known, their practical application in primary education often lacks formal support or diagnostic tools. In the context of Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka, where differentiated instruction is encouraged, teachers are expected to address diverse student learning needs. However, little is known about how teachers recognize learning preferences in everyday classroom practice. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach and involved six teachers from IBC School Makassar. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings revealed that teachers used informal strategies such as observing student behavior, participation patterns, and task preferences to identify visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic learners. Although no formal instruments were used, teachers demonstrated intuitive awareness of students’ learning preferences and adjusted their teaching accordingly. Most teachers adopted a multimodal approach, reflecting the overlap and fluidity of learning styles among students. These results suggest that informal identification methods, while flexible and contextually effective, could be strengthened by institutional training and support systems. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of teacher-led learning differentiation and highlights the importance of perception-based strategies in inclusive classroom environments.
