Abstract

This paper reports the findings drawn from a six-month survey on first-year students’ perception of Extensive Reading intervention in a basic general English course program at Hasanuddin University. This survey study aimed to reveal the extent to which the samples agreed on some aspects of language learning’s positive impacts from attending a reading intervention semester. Other aspects were also examined to the degree of improvement, such as students’ beliefs about eclecticism, self-confidence, and social identity. Data were obtained from questionnaire surveys consisting of 7 close-ended statements and four rating scales from 120 fresh undergraduates. The scaling of “strongly agreement” was tallied from the total samples to obtain the trend. The greater the percentage of the agreement rate, the stronger the perceptions, so as the higher the tendency of the positive impact of extensive reading. The findings came up with encouraging results where a greater proportion of the samples reported significant improvement in aspects contributing to language learning. These include improved vocabulary, writing skills, reading rate, comprehension, confidence, and motivation. The study also revealed the perceived gaining of social identity and reduced degree of eclecticism in dealing with English texts. The findings support the previous research that confirms assurance of reading improvement through extensive reading. The survey warrants pedagogical implications for teachers to constantly embark high intensity of reading activities for students to inculcate reading habits so as to improve personal study skills and encourage autonomous learning.

Abstract

This research aims to develop differentiated instruction through a socio-cultural module for Junior high school teachers. This research used a Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The analysis was carried out by analysing teachers’ and students’ problems, implementing differentiated instruction, and teachers' and students’ needs. Then, the module will be designed and developed by validating and revising the product through three education experts as validators. Next, implementation and evaluation were conducted in 2 junior high schools with a sample of 185 students, 1 school supervisor, 2 headmasters, and 10 teachers. After being validated by three education experts, this module was revised, then implemented in 2 junior high schools in Soppeng, Indonesia. The result of this study showed positive feedback from validators which reached 98.4 % satisfaction. However, some feedback were given to improve this module. After some revisions, the module was implemented in two junior high schools in Soppeng and reached an average score of 99.5 % from four aspects: utility, feasibility, accuracy, and propriety of the module. In terms of students' satisfaction related to teachers’ method of delivering material using a social culture approach to differentiated instruction, 77.7% was achieved, which showed students feel very satisfied with differentiated instruction with a socio-cultural approach. Based on this result, the teaching module for differentiated instruction with a social-culture approach is valid and practical, so it qualifies as a feasible and quality development product.

Abstract

This study investigates the sociocultural factors influencing the speaking proficiency of third-semester students at the English Education Department, Mulawarman University. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, twelve participants were purposively selected based on their speaking proficiency levels. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings identify five key sociocultural factors: gender, family background, socio-economic status, exposure to English outside the classroom, social interaction in language learning (interaction with peers, native speakers, and language intsructors). Students with early English exposure, supportive family environments, strong peer networks, and access to technology tend to demonstrate higher fluency and confidence. Despite receiving the same classroom instruction, differences in sociocultural experiences contribute to varied speaking outcomes. This study highlights the need for inclusive teaching strategies that consider students’ backgrounds and individual characteristics. The findings offer insights for educators to design more responsive and equitable language learning environments in EFL contexts.
