Abstract

Background: During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, many academics and researchers in English Language Teaching (ELT) have studied a variety of issues faced in various types of online teaching and learning, including examining the efficacy of the Blended Learning (BL) approach as a result of the emergency remote and fully online learning or e-learning in response to the learning-from-home policy. Nevertheless, the researchers discovered that only a few studies employed a narrative inquiry method to explore students' perspectives, stories, and voices relating to their ways of learning during and after the pandemic. Objective: This study helped the researchers better understand the challenges students faced and the adjustments they made, providing unique insights that other methods might miss. Methods: This study addresses that gap by examining the stories and views of nine EFL students from three Indonesian universities who experienced various learning modes during and after the pandemic, including face-to-face, fully online, and blended classes. The students were requested to share their experiences and viewpoints about the BL approach through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The methods and tools from the narrative analysis were then employed to analyze the gathered stories and responses. Findings: The findings indicate that while most students supported BL using appropriate online tools, their understanding of the approach varied, emphasizing the need for specific conditions for its successful implementation.   Conclusion: This study contributes to the understanding of the approach variations of BL.

Abstract

The research explores how Indonesian hotel staff perceive their needs of acquiring English competence and explores the communication challenges they face. As global guest expectations rise, English proficiency becomes essential for hotel employees to deliver high-quality service. Employing a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, the research investigates the experiences of six hotel staff members from diverse job roles through in-depth interviews. Findings reveal that English is used situationally, primarily with foreign guests, and that speaking and listening are the most challenging skills due to limited vocabulary, unfamiliar accents, and lack of real-world practice. While some staff benefit from workplace training and AI tools like ChatGPT, disparities in digital access and confidence persist. The study highlights the importance of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction and the potential of blended learning approaches that combine AI tools with traditional, face-to-face training. The study suggests recommendations that include implementing role-specific ESP programs, enhancing practical exposure, and addressing technological gaps to support inclusive and effective language development in the hospitality sector.

Abstract

When learning English as a foreign language, students sometimes need help, such as a lack of competence and practice; they know the language but must learn how to use it correctly. For those reasons, students need a communication strategy to solve their problems. Therefore, this study aims to identify and analyze the communication strategies used by job seekers and employee students in an English Course Semarang during their conversation class. Employing a qualitative research method, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and transcription of audio recordings conducted over two weeks in February 2024. The study applied Tarone and Casper's theoretical framework to classify communication strategies. The findings reveal that topic avoidance and language switching were the most frequently used strategies (each 25.38%), followed by code-switching (20.78%), appeal to authority (19.24%), and message abandonment (9.23%). These findings underscore the importance of fostering an engaging classroom atmosphere that encourages learners to communicate actively and confidently in English. The practical implications of this research enable teachers to enhance speaking activities with guided reflection, allowing students to analyze and refine their strategies in real time.

Abstract

Inspired by the approach of “Teaching Unplugged: Dogme in English Language Teaching” developed by Luke Meddings and Scott Thornbury, this theoretical research introduces and offers a conceptual design of teacher training intended to be relevant to novice Indonesian EFL teachers, especially those working at schools located in the most remote and disadvantaged areas of Indonesia. The training is designed based on the theoretical framework of the approach and critical reviews of several related empirical studies. This article, therefore, focuses on exploring the applications of the approach by examining some other research including the most recent ones about the approach, and investigating its relevance to the context of English education at the most disadvantaged schools in Indonesia. The practical stages and syllabus are also presented in the article so that both teachers as participants and teacher educators can easily follow and understand how the materials can be implemented in their teaching contexts. Considering the theoretical-based materials and well-planned activities that the training offers, novice EFL teachers, after completing the program, are expected to be able to improve their both language and pedagogical skills that are needed in their school contexts and in line with the recent curriculum, the Merdeka curriculum.
