Abstract

This study aims to explore the dynamics of adaptation among students participating in the Pertukaran Mahasiswa Merdeka (PMM) Program in Semarang, particularly in the Modul Nusantara activities. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, this study involved three participants who were interviewed using a semi-structured approach, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that the adaptation process of students follows the stages of Lysgaard's model (1955), namely honeymoon, crisis, recovery, and adjustment. In the initial stage, students prepare administratively, mentally, physically, and financially, and build expectations about the new culture. The honeymoon phase is characterized by enthusiasm for the local environment and culture, followed by the crisis phase, which brings about culture shock due to differences in language, food, and social norms. Recovery strategies include observation, asking questions, and building relationships with local students. In the final stage, students feel comfortable, consider the destination city as a second home, and appreciate diversity. The Nusantara module is deemed crucial in introducing local culture, fostering nationalism, and promoting tolerance. These findings underscore the role of PMM as an effective cross-cultural learning tool in the domestic Indonesian context.

Abstract

Assessing students' English proficiency is a crucial aspect in evaluating learning effectiveness, particularly in English Language Education study programs. However, limited research has examined student achievement in the context of online test-based evaluation. This study aimed to determine students' English proficiency levels based on Duolingo English Practice Test (DEPT) scores and examine their implications for English language teaching in higher education. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach through a survey of 60 students from semesters 2, 4, and 6. Data were obtained through independent DEPT score collection uploaded by respondents via Google Form. The results showed that most students were at a moderate proficiency level, with average scores ranging from 75 to 89. Only a small proportion of students achieved the high category, and there was significant variation between individuals and between semesters. These findings suggest a need for re-evaluation of implemented learning strategies and the importance of increasing students' exposure to contextual language practices. Programs such as Student Talent Search and English Language Day can be supportive tools, but their implementation needs to be optimized to have a significant impact on improving language proficiency. This study contributes to highlighting the importance of synergy between learning evaluation, student motivation, and the quality of language teaching strategies in higher education.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of teacher professional identity through a reflective autoethnographic approach situated in classroom practice. Grounded in the view that identity is dynamic and socially constructed, the study investigates how lived teaching experiences, reflection, and professional interaction contribute to identity development. Data were generated from reflective journals, autobiographical narratives, classroom observations, and collegial discussions over an extended teaching period. The findings reveal that identity transformation occurs through three interconnected processes: reflective practice, collaboration, and classroom interaction. Reflective practice functions as the core mechanism enabling the reinterpretation of experiences and the reconstruction of professional beliefs. Collaboration provides a dialogic space for negotiating meaning and developing professional agency, while classroom interaction serves as the primary site where identity is enacted and reshaped. The study also highlights the role of tension, emotion, and vulnerability as productive elements in identity development. Overall, teacher professional identity emerges as a cyclical, context-dependent, and continuously evolving process. This study contributes to the literature by offering an in-depth, experience-based understanding of identity construction and emphasizing the importance of reflective and collaborative practices in supporting teacher professional growth.

Abstract

Live streaming offers a real-time, interactive space for autonomous English speaking practice, yet most research evaluates its outcomes through proficiency scores rather than learners’ lived experience while practicing. This study used autoethnography to examine how self-directed speaking practice through TikTok Live shaped the researcher’s own speaking development and to identify its positive and negative impacts. Data were collected over several weeks through reflective journals, session recordings, and personal notes, then analyzed using reflective thematic analysis. Findings show that consistent practice improved fluency and linguistic complexity while strengthening awareness of recurring language patterns and errors, reduced speaking anxiety through repeated exposure, and transformed the researcher’s identity from a silent, hesitant learner into a confident digital speaker. However, it also produced psychological pressure from rising viewer counts, vulnerability to negative comments, cognitive fatigue after long sessions, and dependence on social validation. Live streaming is thus an effective but emotionally demanding medium for speaking practice, requiring structured and reflective use.
