Abstract

This narrative inquiry delves into the lived experience of an English teacher navigating the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to enhance speaking competence within a unique, nature- and science-integrated high school in Indonesia. Addressing the pedagogical gap prevalent in traditional EFL settings—characterized by limited authentic exposure and teacher-cantered methods—the study sought to illuminate the teacher’s practices, the specific challenges encountered in a non-conventional context, and the adaptive strategies employed. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, data were meticulously collected through semi-structured interviews, intensive classroom observations, and document analysis (including lesson plans and project artifacts). The findings unequivocally demonstrate that PjBL is instrumental in promoting authentic language use and heightened student engagement through real-life tasks, such as presentation and video projects. Crucially, the teacher adopted dynamic, constructivist roles—shifting fluidly between facilitator, guide, and evaluator. The primary implementation hurdles identified were stringent time management demands, accommodating diverse speaking proficiency levels, and managing fluctuating student motivation. These were mitigated successfully via adaptive lesson planning, targeted group scaffolding, the strategic integration of digital tools, and the consistent provision of immediate feedback. This research provides a teacher-centered perspective that significantly contributes to the literature by validating PjBL’s efficacy and adaptability within complex, interdisciplinary EFL environments.

Abstract

Strategi Membaca Paduan Suara, yang diintegrasikan ke dalam Membaca Ekstensif, memungkinkan siswa menikmati latihan membaca paduan suara tanpa khawatir kehilangan harga diri, serta menyesuaikan kebiasaan membaca dan meningkatkan kefasihan membaca. Menanyakan apa tanggapan siswa terhadap kegiatan membaca dengan menggunakan strategi membaca paduan suara dalam membaca ekstensif menjadi tujuan penelitian ini. Penelitian ini melibatkan siswa sekolah menengah dari Karawang. Untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang pengalaman hidup, penulis menggunakan analisis fenomenologis. Penelitian ini mengumpulkan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan jurnal reflektif. Penulis melakukan analisis tematik. Temuannya mengungkapkan bahwa penerapan strategi membaca paduan suara dalam membaca ekstensif dapat meningkatkan kepercayaan diri siswa dalam membaca bahasa Inggris dengan meningkatkan kefasihan mereka, serta mendorong mereka untuk membaca lebih banyak konten bahasa Inggris. Namun, penulis menemukan hambatan yang dihadapi siswa saat menerapkan strategi ini, seperti kurangnya kesatuan dalam kecepatan membaca saat tampil, yang dialami siswa pada awalnya namun pada akhirnya menjadi menyatu saat mereka menyesuaikan tempo satu sama lain.

Abstract

This research investigates the experiences of a seasoned teacher who specializes in teaching English to young learners through virtual means. Virtual learning has gained popularity due to its numerous benefits, and the teacher in question possesses a strong background in language and experience with virtual learning, even prior to the government’s implementation of online learning policies during the pandemic. The study explores various lessons encountered by the teacher in her virtual classroom, including learning methodologies, maintaining motivation among young learners during distance learning, and addressing challenges and difficulties. Through comprehensive interviews with the teacher and corroborating evidence from other sources, this study demonstrates the value of teaching English to young learners through virtual means. Utilizing narrative inquiry as a research design, this study presents all significant findings in a narrative format. The results comprise eight key lessons for other language teachers to implement in their own classrooms, whether virtual or direct learning. These lessons include the teacher’s motivation, choice of media, learning methodologies, learning objectives, learning activities for young learners, practical application of English in real life, and exploration of young learners’ language skills during the learning process.

Abstract

This qualitative study explored pre-service English teachers’ behavioral, normative, and control beliefs toward their intentions to including explicit pronunciation instruction in their future classrooms. The theoretical framework was based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by (Ajzen, 1991) In order to understand these beliefs and the intentions of pre-service English teachers for providing pronunciation instruction. According to Ajzen’s TPB, the behavioral beliefs are based on attitude regarding the benefit or consequences of applying pronunciation instruction, the normative beliefs stand on social support and pressure to apply pronunciation instruction, and the control beliefs lay the foundation of perceived behavioral control over applying pronunciation instruction in a classroom. Data were collected from open-ended survey questions (n=30), semi-structured interviews (n=8) and end of semester reflections (n=8). The findings suggests that pre-service English teachers’ intentions to apply pronunciation instruction are related to their beliefs about the value of these instruction for improving student speech intelligibility, enhance quality of learning engagement and finding wider opportunity in the future (behavioral beliefs), its ability to meet the student needs and wants (normative beliefs), the participants’ high self-efficacy in pronunciation, and its potential for providing interactive classroom activities (control beliefs). From these results, we recommend that teacher educators should target these beliefs within teacher development programs to prepare pre-service English teachers for successful apply of pronunciation instruction in their future classrooms.

Abstract

One of the main aspects that must be learned by English learners is vocabulary. In Indonesia, students' vocabulary knowledge is still low. It is because students do not learn vocabulary too deliberately in English classrooms. Semantic mapping strategy is one of the strategies for learning vocabulary that can develop students’ vocabulary. This study aims to explore semantic mapping strategy in learning vocabulary from students’ perceptions. The participants of this study were 9 students of 11th grade students of Islamic senior high school, five participants will be interviewed and the data will be analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the students revealed positive perceptions in terms of emotions and attitudes. Most students felt semantic mapping is exciting and gave benefits for them such as can recall their past vocabulary, and extend their vocabulary including giving them knowledge of the word classes. However, there were also some students who have negative emotions and attitudes toward semantic mapping, but the emotions and attitudes of students are more towards the positive.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate teacher procedures when using the CLT technique in teaching speaking, as well as to understand students' answers and opinions about the use of CLT methods in the classroom. As a research design, the author employs interviews and field notes. The authors analyze instructors' and students' learning activities regarding speaking in the classroom using CLT utilizing interviews and field notes. The benefits of employing CLT include that teachers conduct question-and-answer sessions with students, and the frequency with which students respond to learning activities such as answering questions is increasing. As a result, one of the challenges of Communicative Language Teaching is that students continue to feel anxious and nervous if they make mistakes during the learning process. Based on the results of the study, students indicated that CLT aided them in the process of learning to speak English. This can drive students to learn since they believe that using CLT is more interactive. For students to use these strategies, teachers' roles are critical. Students find it easier to follow the learning process and gain knowledge about the role of language in learning. It is proposed that students apply the strategy in the learning process when learning speaking skills.
