<![CDATA[The Online Letter Exchange Program (OLEP) was an online collaborative learning program hosted by the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Miyazaki, Japan. It has collaborated with the Faculty of Agriculture in one of the private universities in Malang. The program is designed to encourage students’ written communication skills and facilitate students with intensive real-life English communication experience with other students around Asia. The participant countries are from Japan, Taiwan, China, and Indonesia. One of its uniqueness lies in the policy that the participants share their specific fields, including agriculture and related fields. This study sought to investigate the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and perception of the students towards the OLEP as it was supplementary activity. The perception included the topic, the platform, and interaction. The data were gained from questionnaires and interviews and were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The result showed that extrinsic motivation was dominant in completing the task in OLEP. The positive and negative perception of the three aspects would be a valuable source for those who attempt a similar online letter exchange program]]>

<![CDATA[Positioned at the bottom two for the literacy level globally, Indonesia needs to find a breakthrough to boost people’s reading habits. Reading is a complex process on how readers embracing the written text as a communication media, interpreting the text using the prior knowledge, then finally re-communicate the content as the prove of comprehension. Many students thought that reading was not enjoyable, so the concept of reading for pleasure could help. This present study conducted to show how the Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) approach was helpful to boost the students' habits in reading with pleasure. Many previous studies conducted on several levels of education for instance primary and secondary. So, in this study, the participants were university students who joined English for Specific Purposes (ESP) class. DEAR only needed to be implemented only for 30 minutes regularly, and then the students find out that the approach was helpful to ease their burden in reading. Moreover, the reading for pleasure concept offered in the approach implementation surely makes the students feel the joy of reading that mostly forgotten.]]>

<![CDATA[The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic reconfigured several aspects of life, one of which is education. A study on grassroots voices on online learning is a dearth of. Therefore, a present study was addressed to uncover teachers’ and students’ voices in online learning. Questionnaires and interviews were employed to garner data. 233 students and 30 teachers’ responses from questionnaires were obtained. The interviews were conducted to obtain in-depth data. The data were interpreted descriptively. The results showcased that students’ voices on the ease of GC and GC performance were positive, yet institution support was not maximally implemented. Simultaneously, the teachers’ voices on the ease of GC, the performance of GC, and the supports of institution were positive. In a nutshell, teachers and students have a positive impression of online learning. Their positive impression comes from the ease of the online platform operation, the online platform’s good performance, but student views that the institutional support is not maximally implemented. The ease of using online platforms should be considered in choosing one of the various online platforms available. The online platform features are not complicated for students and teachers to easily operationalize the online platform and support teaching and learning activities such as delivering materials, assigning tasks, submitting a task, and assessing tasks.]]>

<![CDATA[Claimed by some to be a successful policy tool to connect education with the industrial world, a body of research has documented issues on adapting and adopting the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), a worldwide policy phenomenon. However, there are fewer studies on implementing this framework in initial teacher education (ITE). Therefore, to fill this gap, this paper explores and contextualises the enactment of NQF within the ITE sector from a curriculum ergonomics perspective, a novice concept of analysis on the interactions between curriculum design and its use. This paper contributes to the existing research on curriculum studies, especially in the ITE sector. Implications and recommendations are also discussed.]]>

<![CDATA[The shift from traditional to online teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has caused various hurdles. As indicated by many reports, both students and the teachers experienced dissatisfaction and met challenges during the teaching and learning process. Amidst several students’ dissatisfaction with the online delivery of various subject, a report on teaching and learning experience revealed the exceptional performance of an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teacher named Ms. Sarah (a pseudonym) as recognised by the student. The researchers then did a mixed method study to identify the specific features of Ms. Sarah's teaching that students found engaging and pleasurable. The data, both quantitative and qualitative, was gathered by administering closed and open-ended questionnaires to a total of 38 students who were enrolling in Ms. Sarah's class. The findings indicated that Ms. Sarah's online ESP lesson was well-received. All students (100%) expressed confidence in Ms. Sarah's competence to deliver online ESP instruction. A majority of over 80% of the participants indicated their endorsement for other teachers to embrace Ms. Sarah’s instructional approach, while a total of 97.37% conveyed their intention to join Ms. Sarah's other courses in the upcoming semester. This paper also presents a more detailed explanation of the rationales why students appreciate Ms. Sarah's online class. Besides, considering SLA theory and cultural dimension was also found to contribute to the effective online instructions. Ms Sarah's approach in conducting online ESP course might be an invaluable resource for ESP teachers looking to improve their online teaching strategies. Keywords: Online instructions, ESP, SLA, Cultural dimensions]]>

<![CDATA[English language proficiency is critical for doctoral candidates, particularly in non-English-speaking countries like Indonesia, where mastery of reading and writing in English is essential for academic success. This study evaluates the effectiveness of TOEFL scores as indicators of doctoral students' abilities to comprehend and produce scientific texts in English. However, few studies have investigated how TOEFL scores represent doctoral students’ reading and writing abilities in scientific texts from the viewpoints of the individuals directly engaged. Thus, this qualitative study addresses the research gap by employing semi-structured interviews with four doctoral students from the Faculty of Agriculture at a public university in Malang, Indonesia, and the Head of the Doctoral Study Program. The data were analyzed inductively using Bloom's taxonomy to assess the depth and complexity of the participants' linguistic readiness. The results were then classified based on the Bloom Taxonomy level from the fundamental knowledge comprehension to the creation of doctoral candidates' scientific articles. The study's findings underscore the need for more comprehensive assessments of English proficiency in postgraduate admissions. While higher TOEFL scores generally indicate better comprehension and writing skills, they do not consistently reflect the specific competencies required for scientific writing. This suggests that the TOEFL score may be insufficient as a sole metric for linguistic readiness. The study contributes to policy discussions by highlighting this need, particularly in disciplines requiring specialized academic writing skills.]]>

<![CDATA[The agricultural sector contributes almost half of the Indonesian economy. Based on data from BPS in 2019-2020, this sector provides food for more than 270 million people and dominates the source of income in Indonesia by 33.4 million (27.33%). Unfortunately, the high opportunity and prospects are accompanied by a lack of enthusiasm among the younger generation to pursue agricultural careers, resulting in a decline in regeneration. Some influential factors included: (1) the perception that the agricultural sector is less promising in the future, (2) the lack of prestige of relatively low salaries, and (3) the existence and influence of social strata in the community. The current study aimed to investigate students' perceptions and interests, particularly those of agricultural students, concerning their career choices and corroborate the phenomena of the young generation's falling interest in agricultural careers. The participants were 100 agriculture students from the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Brawijaya (FP UB). The study implemented a quantitative approach with a survey method. The data were analyzed using Tableau. The results showed that there were two dominant factors, external and internal, that influenced the career choices of agriculture students. Additionally, the responses from the students based on gender (male and female) were also different. The findings of this study provide a broader view on how to improve students' interest in agricultural careers through external and internal assistance, namely motivation and practical experiences during the academic year.]]>
