This study explores the challenges faced by an English teacher at SMP Negeri 1 Bonggakaradeng, a rural junior high school in Tana Toraja, Indonesia, and the strategies employed to overcome them. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Findings reveal that teaching English in this context is hindered by students’ limited vocabulary, low motivation, diverse learning needs, scarce resources, and limited exposure to English outside the classroom. In response, the teacher applied adaptive strategies such as differentiated instruction based on student interests, the integration of visual and multimedia tools, and game-based learning. Although innovative methods improved student engagement and language acquisition, challenges like time constraints in producing learning media remained. The study highlights the need for systemic support, including professional development and access to educational technology, to enhance teaching effectiveness and bridge rural-urban disparities in English education.

The use of code-mixing in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has become a common strategy employed by lecturers to bridge linguistic gaps between educators and students. In the Indonesian context, where English is not the primary language, this strategy is considered essential in helping students grasp complex learning materials. This study aims to identify the types of code-mixing used by EFL lecturers and analyze their impact on students’ learning behavior, cognitive abilities, and emotional responses in the classroom. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Purposive sampling was used to select lecturer participants, while snowball sampling was applied to recruit student participants. The study was conducted at Campus 1 of the Christian University of Indonesia Toraja. Data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with both lecturers and students. The findings reveal that four types of code-mixing were employed by lecturers: insertion, alternation, congruent lexicalization, and shifts in pronunciation. Overall, the use of code-mixing had positive effects, such as enhancing students’ comprehension of the material, increasing their learning motivation, and creating a more inclusive and comfortable classroom atmosphere. However, the study also identified a potential drawback, students’ growing dependence on lecturers for understanding English, which may hinder their ability to learn independently. These findings highlight the importance of implementing a balanced teaching strategy to ensure that code-mixing serves as an effective instructional aid without diminishing students’ opportunities to develop their language skills autonomously. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more reflective and contextually relevant English teaching practices in higher education.
