Abstract

Teaching English in rural areas remains several significant challenges. This study aimed to explore the challenges encountered by English teachers in South Sumatera, Indonesia when teaching in such environments. The research design employed for this investigation was qualitative, utilizing a case study approach. Two English language teachers from the specified region participated in this study. The research data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. Subsequently, the interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. This research revealed six distinct challenges faced by the teachers in teaching English. These challenges include: (1) inadequate infrastructure, (2) insufficient learning facilities, (3) inadequate learning resources, (4) low proficiency in English, (5) unfavorable teaching conditions, and (6) limited opportunities for teacher development. Addressing these challenges is crucial to create a positive environment for effective teaching and learning English in rural areas.

Abstract

This study utilized qualitative research with a case study design to investigate the difficulties encountered by EFL students in reading comprehension. Nine students from Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 (State Islamic Senior High School) Muara Enim in South Sumatra who met the research sampling criteria were selected using the purposeful sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews, and the results were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the majority of students experienced obstacles in reading comprehension, including a lack of vocabulary, a limited grasp of grammar, unfamiliarity with the topic content, an inability to employ reading strategies effectively, and unappealing reading materials. This exploration of specific obstacles that EFL students encounter in reading comprehension could serve as the foundation for the development of targeted strategies and interventions aimed at supporting the students in improving their reading skills.

Abstract

This qualitative case study aimed to investigate teachers’ challenges and strategies in teaching English as a foreign language using a Plus curriculum, a self-designed curriculum that combines the national curriculum and the Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) curriculum. This study involved two English teachers at a private Indonesian Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High School) in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The research revealed several internal and external challenges encountered by the teachers when teaching English using this combined curriculum. Internal challenges included three aspects: teachers' abilities to utilize ICT in teaching, designing lesson plans, and enhancing students' learning motivation. External challenges included two aspects: managing limited time allocation and dealing with inadequate learning facilities. Despite these teaching challenges, the researchers identified several strategies employed by the teachers to overcome the challenges. These strategies include improving their practical knowledge in using ICT, tailoring teaching materials and methods with learning objectives, applying various motivational strategies, providing extra time for informal learning after school, and ensuring students’ access to necessary learning facilities and resources.

Abstract

Enhancing vocabulary acquisition requires teachers to be innovative in the recent advancement of technology, particularly in the instructional process. Teachers can use many platforms to benefit from emerging technology in education. One of them is using Disney+ Hotstar that promotes its subtitled content. This paper explored the impacts of using Disney+ Hotstar on students' vocabulary mastery—the present study distributed a questionnaire to 35 sixth-semester students of one university in Riau. As a result of the research, it was discovered that Disney+ Hotstar could enhance students' vocabulary mastery. It allowed the students to discover new vocabularies while watching TV shows or movies on Disney+ Hotstar. For future studies, it is highly recommended that English teachers adopt Disney+ Hotstar content as an innovative teaching strategy for enhancing students' vocabulary mastery. In addition, it can be authentic, up-to-date, contextual and interesting learning material for students to gain more knowledge and enhance their vocabulary mastery. In summary, emerging technology in education can enhance students’ knowledge and understanding. There are so many platforms and digital tools that teachers can use in teaching and learning processes to create interesting and engaging teaching and learning activities.

Abstract

Speaking is a critical skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, yet many learners face challenges in fluency, accuracy, vocabulary, and pronunciation. This study investigates the effectiveness of the "Guess Who/What" game in improving the speaking performance of junior high school EFL students, focusing on descriptive texts. Using a quasi-experimental design, pre-test and post-test scores from 32 students were analyzed quantitatively. Two trained raters assessed performance using a standardized rubric across four criteria. Inter-rater reliability was calculated with Cohen's Kappa (κ = 0.88 for the pre-test and κ = 0.92 for the post-test). Results indicated significant improvements in all criteria, with the greatest gains in vocabulary (+15.6 points). A paired-sample t-test confirmed the statistical significance of the improvement (t = 13.45, p < 0.001). The findings highlight the potential of interactive games to enhance EFL speaking performance and provide practical insights for classroom implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the types and functions of verbal and non-verbal communication within an EFL classroom at SMA YPI Tunas Bangsa Palembang. A qualitative research methodology was employed for this study. The participants included a teacher and students from an English class, selected through purposive sampling. To collect data, the researchers utilized interviews and observations. Subsequently, the data gathered from the interviews and observations were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results indicated that two types of verbal communication are employed by the teacher: oral and written. In addition to verbal communication, teachers typically utilize a variety of non-verbal communication methods, including facial expressions, body language and posture, gestures, eye contact, appearance, touch, and personal space. Furthermore, two primary functions of verbal communication can be identified, while several functions of non-verbal communication can be categorized. In verbal communication, these functions are defined to explain concepts clearly and to enhance students’ understanding. Conversely, the functions of non-verbal communication can be categorized as follows: conveying emotional signals, regulating the teaching mood, maintaining classroom control, expressing appreciation, capturing students’ attention, enhancing students’ focus, providing motivation, and emphasizing key points.
