Abstract

Writing is a skill that is necessary for success in the academic world. Writing is a necessary activity in education that fosters significant growth in both teaching and learning. However, good writing requires a variety of skills, including a wide vocabulary, the capacity for contextual understanding, analytical strength, the capacity for inference, the capacity for critical thought, and much more. This skill is unquestionably difficult to acquire, especially when writing in English, which naturally puts more pressure and anxiety on students. This study was designed to investigate the types and levels of writing anxiety experienced by EFL students taking an academic writing course at an English department at a university in Jambi, regardless of their gender. The instrument of this study was a close-ended questionnaire that was adopted from Cheng (2004). It consists of 22 statements about different types of anxiety (cognitive, somatic, and avoidance behavior). There were 225 students who participated in the study. Majority of them 82.2% (185 students) were female and only 17.8% (40 students) were male. The results of the study indicated that there are differences in the level of anxiety experienced by male and female students. The highest score of the two genders is in the somatic anxiety type; namely, women have a mean score of 3.36 and men have a mean score of 3.07. Although both have high levels, there is a slight difference in numbers, so women experience higher levels of anxiety than men, and the type of anxiety they have is somatic anxiety.

Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study was to comprehensively investigate the experiences in writing undergraduate theses, the challenges faced, and strategies to alleviate the encountered challenges, of ten EFL student teachers at one higher education institution in Jambi. To collect the data, we employed semi-structured interviews guided by an interview protocol to elicit the participants’ responses. The results of the study, through thematic analysis (Braun & Clark, 2006), indicated that there are four major themes of challenges in writing an undergraduate thesis, including linguistics and writing knowledge issues, psychological issues, media and resources issues, and supervision and time management issues. To cope with those challenges, the participants employed some strategies, such as self-management strategy, technological help, and help from others. This study suggests EFL student teachers identify issues they struggle with in writing their theses. It is necessary so they could find a helpful way to deal with the challenge.

Abstract

Critical thinking is defined as a pivotal role in students' academic writing process, but in practice, the application of this skill often becomes quite a complex challenge for students as they formulate new ideas, analyse, evaluate, and synthesize information, and finally draw conclusions. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the factors that influence EFL students' abilities and to investigate the strategies they use to develop critical thinking skills in academic writing, especially seventh-semester students majoring in English at a public university in Jambi. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were gathered by using semi-structured interviewed with ten students. The researchers examined and interpreted the data collected using Braun and Clarke's stages of thematic analysis. The research findings indicate that EFL students face several factors that affect their ability to develop critical thinking in academic writing. These factors include personal competence issues such as a lack of topic knowledge, linguistic challenges, including difficulties with grammar and vocabulary; and psychological barriers, such as low motivation, lack of self-confidence, and anxiety during supervision. Despite these challenges, EFL students employ various strategies to overcome obstacles in developing critical thinking skills. These strategies include self-management, the use of technological support, cultivating a conducive learning atmosphere, leveraging support systems, and managing tutoring schedule effectively.

Abstract

Undergraduate thesis supervision plays a critical role in shaping students' academic success, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. However, supervising EFL students poses various challenges for lecturers, often impacting the quality and progress of student research. This qualitative case study explores the experiences of eight lecturers supervising undergraduate theses in an English education program at a public university in Jambi, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's (2006) six-phase framework. Findings reveal two major categories of challenges: internal and external. Internal challenges include time constraints due to heavy workloads and mismatches between supervisors’ expertise and student research topics. External challenges involve student disengagement, poor writing skills, limited progress, low motivation, and external personal issues. To address these, lecturers employed three main strategies: (1) self-management (scheduling supervision, learning new content areas), (2) assistance (giving direction, motivation, and written corrective feedback), and (3) communication and technological support (maintaining regular contact and using online platforms for supervision). The study highlights the complex dynamics of thesis supervision in EFL contexts and the proactive efforts of lecturers to navigate these challenges. The findings underscore the need for institutional support, targeted training, and better supervisor-student alignment to enhance the supervision process and student outcomes.

Abstract

This study portrayed the English teachers' perceptions of using rewards in teaching English at the elementary school level. It aimed to investigate why English teachers use rewards in their teaching. The study employed a qualitative research approach, with data collected through interviews. It was conducted at a public elementary school in Jambi, where three English teachers from the school were selected as participants, and the data was gathered through interviews. The findings illustrated a gap between teachers' theoretical understanding and their practice in implementing rewards as a way to motivate students to learn. The results showed that teachers do partially understand the concept of 'reward' in theory. In line with these findings, the study revealed that rewards can help improve several aspects of student learning, such as self-confidence, motivation, and enthusiasm for learning. The study also includes several recommendations for stakeholders and other teachers.

Abstract

This systematic literature review explores the impact of Photovoice on fostering self-expression among English language learners and identifies the key challenges in implementing this participatory visual methodology within classroom settings. Using the PRISMA method, this review analyzes peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2024. A total of 270 articles were initially identified through databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, with 9 studies selected for thematic analysis focused on self-expression and the integration challenges of Photovoice in English language learning. The findings demonstrate that Photovoice significantly enhances self-expression in students by enabling them to confidently articulate complex emotions and ideas in English, reducing language anxiety, and promoting deeper engagement. However, obstacles such as limited classroom time, inadequate technological resources, and insufficient teacher training were noted as barriers to its effective implementation. This review addresses a critical gap in the literature by focusing specifically on the role of Photovoice in fostering self-expression in English learners, an area that remains underexplored. The study contributes to educational practice by providing educators with insights into how Photovoice can be integrated into language teaching to enhance self-expression, while also highlighting the practical challenges and offering recommendations for overcoming them to maximize the method’s potential.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of differentiated instruction (DI) models in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classrooms at vocational high schools in Palembang, focusing on students’ linguistic and vocational needs. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines, the research analysed 15 articles from Scopus, ERIC, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. The findings reveal that DI strategies are inconsistently applied, with teachers often facing challenges due to large class sizes, insufficient training, and resource limitations. However, when implemented effectively, DI has been shown to improve student engagement and learning outcomes. The study identifies best practices for enhancing DI in vocational ESP settings, emphasizing the need for curriculum alignment, task variety, and professional development to address the unique needs of vocational students. Recommendations include providing ongoing teacher training and better resources to optimize DI models in such contexts.

Abstract

Writing a thesis is a complex academic process that requires strong critical thinking skills. Consequently, many graduate students struggle to apply critical thinking during thesis writing. This study aims to explore EFL graduate students’ challenges and strategies in developing critical thinking skills in writing theses at Universitas Jambi. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with four Master of English Education students who met the study’s inclusion criteria. The findings reveal three major categories of challenges: personal competence challenges (time management and workload balance), linguistic challenges (structuring and grammar, English proficiency, and source management), and psychological challenges (low motivation, lack of confidence, and writing anxiety). To address these challenges, students employed various strategies, including technological support such as AI and writing tools, time management practices, citation and resource management, and writing practice supported by supervisors and peers.
