Abstract

This study investigates the forms of teacher creativity demonstrated in the implementation of group work in an EFL classroom. Creativity in instructional practice is essential for supporting student engagement, especially in vocational education where practical communication skills are prioritized. The study aims to investigate an EFL teacher employs creative strategies when organizing, facilitating, and responding to group work dynamics. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi structure interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (2014) interactive model of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal three major forms of teacher creativity: Product Creativity, Process Creativity, and Reactive Creativity. Product Creativity was reflected in the teacher’s use of digital learning materials, gamified tasks, authentic resources, and visually enriched media to support group activities. Process Creativity emerged through varied grouping arrangements, systematic role assignment, creative monitoring techniques, and strategic language management to guide students’ interaction. Reactive Creativity appeared when the teacher adapted spontaneously to classroom situations such as mixed proficiency levels, behavioral challenges, and technical disruptions. Overall, the findings underscore that teacher creativity in group work extends beyond creating innovative materials; it also involves adaptive facilitation, responsive decision-making, and context-sensitive problem-solving. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of how creativity shapes group work practices in EFL vocational settings and offer practical recommendations for promoting more engaging and effective collaborative learning in similar contexts.

Abstract

This study explored the improvement of English speaking skills among higher education EFL students through the use of Omegle, a real-time interactive platform. Twenty Indonesian higher education EFL students participated in a one-month intervention that integrated Omegle into structured classroom activities. Data were collected through observations, pre- and post-tests, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative results showed a notable improvement in speaking performance, with mean scores increasing from 48.2 in the pre-test to 72.5 in the post-test (t = 13.9, df = 19). Qualitative findings indicated that students became more confident, expanded their vocabulary, and spoke more fluently during spontaneous online conversations. These findings highlighted how combining digital platforms with classroom instruction fostered measurable progress in language proficiency. The study suggested that interactive, technology-assisted practice provided authentic, low-pressure opportunities for developing speaking skills, while future research could examine longer- term interventions and larger, more diverse student populations.
