Abstract

Critical thinking is essential for success in the 21st century, particularly in language learning. This study explores pre-service English language teachers’ (ELTs) perceptions and practices regarding critical thinking instruction in Indonesia. Through a qualitative case study approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with two pre-service ELTs from a private university in Yogyakarta. Thematic analysis revealed a rich tapestry of insights into the participants’ understanding of critical thinking, their perceived importance in language learning, and their willingness to integrate critical thinking into their teaching practices. The findings highlight the significance of critical thinking in language acquisition, as it empowers students to analyze complex information, evaluate diverse perspectives, and form informed judgments. Participants emphasized the need for incorporating critical thinking strategies into language teaching to enhance students’ cognitive abilities and facilitate deeper understanding. Nevertheless, the study also identified potential challenges, including the uneven distribution of critical thinking practices across the education system and the need for specialized teacher training to implement critical thinking instruction effectively. The study contributes to understanding pre-service ELTs’ perceptions and practices of critical thinking in Indonesia. It also provides valuable insights for teacher training programs, curriculum development, and future research investigating critical thinking instruction in English language teaching.

Abstract

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan project-based learning dalam proses pembuatan materi pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang dilakukan oleh calon guru Bahasa Inggris yang mengikuti pendidikan guru di suatu universitas di Indonesia. Menggunakan integrasi konsep Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) dan Multimodality, model ini diterapkan dengan mahasiswa yang mengembangkan materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris secara berkelompok melalui kolaborasi dengan guru bahasa Inggris di sekolah formal. Prosesnya mencakup pencarian kolaborator, identifikasi kebutuhan, serta pengembangan dan evaluasi materi pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan konteks kelas. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa implementasi PjBL membantu mahasiswa dalam menghubungkan teori dengan praktik dalam pengembangan materi pembelajaran. Mahasiswa memperoleh pemahaman lebih dalam mengenai keberagaman siswa dan pentingnya integrasi budaya dalam pembelajaran. Selain itu, pendekatan ini meningkatkan keterampilan kolaborasi, komunikasi, serta kemampuan analisis dalam mengembangkan materi yang relevan dan kontekstual. Beberapa tantangan muncul dalam pelaksanaan program ini, seperti pergeseran jadwal presentasi, perubahan guru kolaborator, serta keterbatasan waktu dalam penyusunan materi. Meskipun demikian, mahasiswa menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman dalam mengembangkan materi pembelajaran berbasis konteks. Program ini juga memberikan pengalaman langsung dalam menyusun materi yang dapat diterapkan di kelas dan mendukung penguatan keterampilan yang relevan dengan dunia kerja.

Abstract

The existing studies on intertextuality In Indonesia mainly focuses on the contexts of mass media and literature, so little is known about intertextuality within the context of higher education, not to mention the one involving multiple languages including English. The present study explored intertextuality practices of an Indonesian EFL learner. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings pointed out that the participant’s ability to practice intertextuality was highly influenced by his well-developed reading habit. Furthermore, it was indicated that intertextuality practices helped the participant better understand texts and their underlying aspects, find connection of texts with other discourses, and establish relevance of texts within real-life settings. By discussing how an Indonesian EFL learner practiced his intertextuality for academic and non-academic purposes in higher education, this study may provide as an empirical contribution for the growing body of research on intertextuality practices in Indonesia.

Abstract

Survei yang dilaksanakan pada tahun 2022 oleh Education First (EF) menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan berbahasa Inggris dunia, English Proficiency Index (EPI) menyajikan fakta bahwa Indonesia menduduki peringkat ke-81 dari 111 negara di dunia dengan perolehan hasil 469. Secara global, hasil EPI Indonesia belum mampu mencapai target rerata skor EPI global yakni 502 poin. Hal ini menjelaskan perlu adanya pembenahan dalam kompetensi berbahasa Inggris terlebih di era serba modern ini. Dalam menghadapi situasi ini, diperlukan adanya pemberdayaan kepada siswa sehingga mampu mengembangkan keterampilan berbahasa Inggris dengan mengadopsi Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Project-based Learning (PjBL) yang selaras dengan program P5 (Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila) Kurikulum Merdeka. Oleh karenanya, program pengabdian masyarakat yang ditujukan kepada pelajar menengah atas diharapakan dapat meningkatkan kecakapan berbahasa Inggris dengan pendekatan kolaborasi yang dilandasi nilai-nilai keislaman. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini merupakan kelanjutan dari program pengabdian masyarakat tahun sebelumnya di MAN 3 Sleman, Yogyakarta, dengan beberapa modifikasi dan pembaruan pada metode pembelajaran yang dirancang. Dari hasil pembelajaran klasikal dengan CLIL dan projek mandiri siswa, nilai bahasa Inggris siswa meningkat secara signifikan.

Abstract

Cultural stereotypes in English Language Teaching (ELT) textbooks may influence how students shape their perspectives towards the cultures being studied, yet little research discusses how cultural stereotypes emerge in ELT textbooks. This study aimed to describe the cultural stereotypes in an ELT textbook published by the Indonesian government. The book being analyzed was entitled English for Nusantara SMP/MTs KELAS VII for the seventh grade of junior high school. The data were collected and analyzed through content analysis to point out the valid inference. The findings showed that cultural stereotypes were depicted in the textbook in several ways: appearance, gender, behavior, and lifestyle. This study may provide an insight into how cultural stereotypes are depicted in the textbook, and it may contribute practically for textbook designers or material developers to take into account how cultural values will be included into textbook in order to avoid creating stereotypes for a particular culture. Furthermore, this study may also help the teachers take into account cultural stereotypes in designing and selecting learning materials for students.
