The research aimed to investigate the effect of metacognitive instruction on students' self-regulated learning (SRL) writing for Indonesian EFL students to have appropriate grammar and meaningful learning experiences. The methodology used was a quasi-experimental design. The research participants were 50 students from the University of Muhammadiyah East Kalimantan (UMKT) English department who took a writing course. The participants were divided into the experimental group that was taught with metacognitive instruction. In contrast, although the same teacher taught the control group and had similar learning materials, the teacher did not use metacognitive instruction. The data was taken through pre-test and post-test and analyzed through independent t-test with statistics tool SPSS. The results showed that the experimental group has a higher SRL score with significant results in overall score even though there is one component that is different from previous studies, namely knowledge of cognition. Some suggestions were proposed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of teacher-themed movie to elevate the pre-service teachers’ efficacy in coping with the real teaching field. Based on a pilot study conducted by the researcher in a public university in Kalimantan, Indonesia, many students of teacher training and education faculty did not choose their department solemnly. As a result, these pre-service teachers, when got involved in teaching practice at a school, did not believe they could handle real class situation. They believed that it was difficult to teach the students in their real field, especially when those students came with various personalities. Hence, an effort should be done to help the pre-service teachers develop their self-confidence to conduct actual classroom activities. The design of the study was experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. The subjects of the research were 34 senior students of English Department. In collecting the data, questionnaires of self-efficacy were utilized. The data was analyzed by using SPPS program. The results showed the pre-service teachers, who watched an inspiring educational movie, where in the movie the teacher was able to handle some most difficult students and turned the students become ones with better personalities, could affect positively to their efficacy. In addition, the effect of watching such ennobling movie was significant to raise the pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy.

Dalam rangka menghadapi era revolusi industri Indonesia 4.0, masyarakat Indonesia perlu berbenah dan bersiap diri agar tidak tertinggal dan mampu bersaing sehingga dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan bangsa. Meski demikian, selain kemampuan atau skill di bidang teknologi informasi kemampuan berbahasa Inggris adalah sebuah keniscayaan. Pada skala nasional, kita dapat melihat bahwa kemampuan bahasa Inggris menjadi tolak ukur mayoritas perusahaan multi nasional dan nasional. Pada skala daerah khususnya Kalimantan Timur, kita dapat melihat bahwa kebutuhan akan bahasa Inggris ini menjadi salah satu prioritas anak bangsa mengingat selain skill ini dapat digunakan sebagai nilai jual untuk bekerja di perusahaan, juga dibutuhkan sebagai salah satu persyaratan wajib untuk masuk ke perguruan tinggi baik swasta maupun negeri, baik srata 1, strata 2, ataupun strata 3. Melihat kenyataan tersebut, maka upaya untuk peningkatan pemahaman dan pengetahuan terkait TOEFL menjadi sangat penting, terutama di area kota Samarinda yang merupakan ibu kota provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Sehingga kegiatan ini dapat menjadi bagian dari upaya perguruan tinggi untuk berkontribusi melalui kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat

The purpose of the study was to explore how continuous professional development is conducted, who conducts it, and the factors that influence it. According to the laws of the Republic of Indonesia, teaching is a professional job that requires certain educational and training qualifications so that teachers can become professional personnel. By seeing the importance of professionalism in this work and in order to see the picture of the CPD of teachers in East Kalimantan, this research is important to carry out. This research uses a qualitative case study method. The subjects of this study were teachers (n=10) from ten schools in Samarinda, Kutai Kartanegara, and Balikpapan. Data were collected using a CPD questionnaire and interviews. The data obtained were analysed and presented with descriptions and tables or charts. The data indicated that most of the teachers participated in the study are aware of the components of professional teacher indicated from the government laws. The study also reveals how the CPD is conducted by different stakeholders. Some suggestions are proposed based on the results of the study.

The article aims to explore a case of teaching with differentiated instructions approach at a Junior High School, Eastern County, Taiwan. The author used case study as the interpretivism paradigm in the methodology of exploring the contexts. The participants were twenty-five 12 graders. They were assigned by the school academic director to participate in the classroom demonstration on differentiated instruction with one of the senior teacher trainers from Taipei City. Pre-observation interview, observation, and post-observation interview were utilized to collect the data. The study indicated that a well-planned lesson for differentiated instruction would be able to help mixed-ability students get most of the lessons. Furthermore, it can also enhance the student’s engagement during the lesson in the classroom. Some suggestions for further research are proposed.

Although the study of effective strategies for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) in Indonesia has become prominent research topics for decades, little attention is paid to the students’ experiences of learning English. This study aims at researching some of our students’ experiences of learning English both at their junior and senior high schools. The students reflecting the experience were participants of our course unit of General English, Introduction to linguistics, Structure 2, History of English language, and were both from non-English and English departments at the University of Bengkulu and Dehasen University, Bengkulu, Indonesia. Of the eight effective and fourteen ineffective ways to learn English, we found three main issues apparent in our study namely self-confidence and motivation, learning environment, and methods and media in teaching English as a foreign language. Further explication of each issue is discussed.على الرغم من أن دراسة الاستراتيجيات الفعالة لتدريس اللغة الإنجليزية كلغة أجنبية (TEFL) في إندونيسيا أصبحت موضوعات بحثية بارزة لعقود من الزمن، إلا أنه لم يتم إيلاء اهتمام كبير لخبرات الطلاب في تعلم اللغة الإنجليزية. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى البحث في بعض تجارب طلابنا في تعلم اللغة الإنجليزية في مدارسهم الثانوية والإعدادية. كان الطلاب الذين يعكسون التجربة مشاركين في وحدة دوراتنا في اللغة الإنجليزية العامة، ومقدمة في اللغويات، والهيكل 2، وتاريخ اللغة الإنجليزية، وكانوا من أقسام غير الإنجليزية والإنجليزية في جامعة بنجكولو وجامعة ديهاسين، بنجكولو، إندونيسيا. من بين الطرق الثمانية الفعالة والأربعة عشر غير الفعالة لتعلم اللغة الإنجليزية، وجدنا ثلاث قضايا رئيسية واضحة في دراستنا وهي الثقة بالنفس والتحفيز، والبيئة التعليمية ، والأساليب ووسائل الإعلام في تدريس اللغة الإنجليزية كلغة أجنبية. مناقشة المزيد من شرح كل قضية.

Research on Oral Corrective Feedback, especially related to its factors, has become a topic that is still widely discussed in teaching English because various application contexts will produce different conclusions. That is why it is important to study this topic further where this research aims to test a group by applying a single pretest-posttest method by providing oral Corrective Feedback. The participants in this study were a lecturer and 27 students in a Speaking English for Academic Purposes (ESP) class at the State Islamic University in Malang, East Java. The results showed an increase in the mean score from the pretest to the posttest. This means that giving Corrective Feedback provides benefits during the learning process for students in improving. Several factors in Corrective Feedback can explain how students respond to the Corrective Feedback given so that Corrective Feedback can play a significant role in improving the competence of speaking English. It is hoped that by understanding the use of Corrective Feedback, teachers, lecturers and educational practitioners will better understand which types of Corrective Feedback can have a positive impact on improving English speaking competence for English learners as a foreign language.

The study investigates the relationship between Duolingo usage language learning retention, and academic achievements among high school students. Duolingo, it is known for its user-friendly interface and gamified learning approach, has acquired popularity in the field of language instruction. The major goal of this study is to determine if Duolingo usage improves academic achievement and language retention in secondary school students. This study lasted four months and involved 40 students from SMA Istiqamah Muhammadiyah Samarinda. The collection of data includes Duolingo achievement assessments and questionnaires indicated to assess patterns of Duolingo usage, language retention, and app satisfaction. Statistical analysis, specifically the Pearson correlation coefficient, was employed to assess the level and course of the correlation between Duolingo use and language learning results. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between the use of Duolingo and the retention of language learning, as well as an improvement in academic achievements. The results suggest that integrating Duolingo into the language learning curriculum is beneficial for students, enhancing both their engagement and learning outcomes. Furthermore, the study highlights the need for further research to explore the specific mechanisms through which Duolingo impacts language learning and to expand the findings to larger and more diverse student populations. This research contributes valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to incorporate digital learning tools into language education and underscores the potential of Duolingo as an effective supplementary resource for language learning in secondary schools.
