Abstract

Integrating sustainable education into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has become increasingly important in response to global environmental challenges. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a localised Green ELT curriculum developed and implemented at a private Christian university in Tomohon, Indonesia. Guided by a Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, the curriculum was designed to integrate ecological content with Christian values and English language learning objectives. The study involved 50 purposively selected EFL students and was conducted over three months (March–May 2025) through three phases: curriculum design, classroom implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected using pre- and post-questionnaires, classroom observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Quantitative data were analysed with paired t-tests, while qualitative data were thematically analysed. The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in both environmental awareness (t = -13.62, p < 0.001) and motivation to learn English (t = -6.60, p < 0.001). Qualitative insights further confirmed that faith-based discussions and contextualised activities deepened student engagement, linking language learning to sustainability issues. These results demonstrate that Green ELT can foster linguistic skills while enhancing students’ sense of environmental responsibility when localised and aligned with cultural and religious values. The study highlights the potential of Green ELT in faith-based contexts and recommends further adaptation across diverse educational settings to promote sustainable language education.

Abstract

Pragmatic competence—the ability to use language appropriately in social contexts—is essential for effective EFL communication but often underemphasized in teacher education. This study examines the impact of speech act-based instruction on developing pre-service English teachers’ pragmatic competence. Participants included 20 second-year students enrolled in the English Education program at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Tomohon. Over four weeks, they attended two 90-minute instructional sessions per week, integrating explicit instruction, role-plays, discourse analysis, and reflective discussions. Multiple instruments were employed: a 30-item pragmatic competence test (combining situational multiple-choice and open-ended tasks), classroom observations, and post-instruction interviews. Quantitative results revealed statistically significant improvements across all levels of speech acts: locutionary (M = 0.437 to 0.5665, p < .001), illocutionary (M = 0.535 to 0.6105, p < .001), and perlocutionary (M = 0.5295 to 0.5565, p < .001). Qualitative findings highlighted increased pragmatic awareness, communicative confidence, and in-class adaptability. However, participants still faced challenges in transferring theoretical knowledge into spontaneous speech, suggesting the need for extended, contextualized instruction. These findings affirm the value of structured pragmatic instruction in EFL teacher training, equipping future educators to model and foster linguistic accuracy and sociocultural fluency in global communication.
