Abstract

The article presents the perceptions of Indonesian vocational high school students in defining an ideal teacher; what makes a teacher good and bad. This qualitative study employs in-depth interviews to obtain the data. The findings informed that an ideal teacher is the one who builds a positive relationship with the students, for instance, having an individual consideration, easy going, having a deep empathy, motivating, performing comprehensible teaching, enthusiastic, humorous, assertive, humble and patient. Moreover, this type of teacher will also be far from being injustice, antipathy, irresponsible, authoritarian, and short-tempered. Some pedagogical implications areimplicitly discussed.

Abstract

Indonesia’s literacy rate is low, ranking 61st in the PISA survey, 60th in the OECD’s 2016 survey, and 45th in PIRLS 2011. To address this, a Merdeka Belajar curriculum focusing on literacy activities is being implemented. Thus, it is necessary to conduct research related to teachers’ and students’ perspectives of literacy through reading activities in emancipated learning because it can reflect how they understand and experience it. The qualitative case study is used as the research method and involved an English teacher and a 7th-grade student in a junior high school in Tasikmalaya. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke (2006) thematic analysis approach. The findings indicate that teachers perceive literacy in English learning as multifaceted, emphasizing reading and writing activities to enhance knowledge. They advocate for literacy skills development through diverse activities, promote independent learning strategies, and employ multimodal approaches, aligning their practices with the principles of the Emancipated Curriculum to empower students. Therefore, further research should explore the impact of English reading literacy activities on students’; English language skills, specifically the four skills, using a quantitative experimental approach to investigate the effects of literacy through reading activities.

Abstract

Podcasts have gained popularity among a vast number of listeners who utilize them to enhance their English listening skills. However, limited classroom time is allocated for focused listening practice. This research aims to investigate students' perceptions of using podcasts as an effective means of improving their listening abilities. Three participants volunteered to take part in the study, and additional recruitment efforts were made to encourage more student volunteers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather data, allowing for the exploration of individual experiences, attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs related to the use of podcasts. Four key themes emerged from the participants' perceptions: 1) Hearing the message, 2) Interpreting the message, 3) Evaluating the message, and 4) Responding to the message. Listening involves interpreting the communicative behavior of others to comprehend its meaning, and effective listeners ensure they have all the necessary information before forming opinions. The findings indicate that podcasts facilitate clear message reception, provide verbal and non-verbal cues for deeper interpretation, offer features to optimize the listening process, and provide an authentic experience of listening to native speakers. Future research is recommended to explore students' perceptions of using podcasts for improving other English language skills.

Abstract

Language knowledge and presentation skills are part of the essential characteristics that an English tutor must possess. However, in reality, a tutor who identifies as a non-native English speaker is not really able to be an adequate model for English language learning coupled with many traditional methods that fail to meet the diverse needs of students, for example not utilizing modern technological tools effectively, and sometimes tutors do not have sufficient awareness of pedagogical knowledge and linguistic knowledge to be a role model of English in the EFL context. Through critical reflection using the 3 Whats model, this research explores how the learning process inspires and motivates students to become English education students, who are designed to become future teachers.  136 English education students were involved in writing a critical reflection after the lecture of Phonetics and Phonology Subject lecture for one semester ended. The findings show that the tutor has the capacity assessed in nine criteria of ideal language teachers, namely having competence, liking English when teaching, motivating, consistently giving feedback, facilitating students to show their abilities, innovating to overcome students' difficulties, appreciating students' work, and being professional in whatever they do. Therefore, further investigation is needed to explore how technology impacts in building of students' critical language awareness.
