Abstract

This study is centered on exploring the teachers' perspective towards translanguaging practices in EFL classrooms. This study is framed within a qualitative case study involving four English teachers from two high schools in Sidoarjo, East Java. In order to understand the subjects' perspectives, personal interviews were utilized. The data having been collected, it were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. The current study's findings show that teachers practiced translanguaging mainly when they explained the materials, such as grammar. In this sense, the sole motivation of using translanguaging is that grammar is complex and explaining in English is far more complicated. In addition, teachers also practiced translanguaging when they managed the classroom, showing shared cultural values. Further analysis showed that translanguaging helps teachers achieve their goals, and one of the goals is helping their students understand the materials explained in English better. The results of this study are expected to be advantageous for the teachers to be aware of the importance of translanguaging practices in the EFL classroom.

Abstract

This paper reports a qualitative case study examining Indonesian EFL pre-service teacher trainees’ experiences of an international teaching practicum at upper secondary schools in the Philippines. Drawing on narrative accounts from three teacher trainees and employing thematic analysis, the findings reveal two prominent themes related to the challenges encountered during the teaching practicum in an ESL context: academic-related and sociocultural aspects. The findings indicate that differences in the status of English and accent use significantly affected the trainees’ emotions and perceptions. In addition, differences in the focus of the curriculum and syllabus, as well as the higher level of instructional materials used in the host schools, required the trainees to make greater efforts to learn and adapt. Regarding sociocultural aspects, the most salient challenges were related to unfamiliar cultural practices that the trainees needed to address with professional sensitivity. This study suggests that international teaching practicum involves not only academic demands but also broader social and cultural dimensions that require teacher trainees to be anticipative and culturally responsive. Therefore, teaching practicum programs should provide greater exposure to intercultural awareness and the development of global teaching skills.

Abstract

This study aims to map trends and innovations in creative writing over the past decade through a systematic literature review approach enriched with bibliometric analysis. Data were obtained from 41 international publications analyzed using the Publish or Perish and VOSviewer software, providing a comprehensive overview of publication patterns, dominant keywords, and researcher collaboration networks. The findings reveal a significant increase in the number of publications on digital-based creative writing from 2010 to 2025, with major themes including creative writing, creativity, digital storytelling, pedagogy, and the integration of artificial intelligence. Keyword analysis indicates the presence of diverse research clusters, although most remain fragmented and not fully interconnected, thus offering opportunities for further exploration of less addressed topics such as digital literary genres or assessment among peers. In addition, author mapping shows the dominance of several key figures, although cross-country collaboration is still relatively limited. These findings highlight a paradigm shift in creative writing from conventional models to digital and collaborative approaches supported by technology, as well as the importance of developing new pedagogical strategies relevant to 21st-century literacy needs. Therefore, this research makes a significant contribution to the development of creative writing studies in the global and digital era.
