Abstract

In the 21st century, technological progress has revolutionized education, emphasizing the 5Cs (communication, communities, connections, comparisons, and culture) in English language teaching. This evolution presents challenges for educators to innovate learning methods, including Project-Based Learning that integrates technology and cultural elements. This study explores students' perspectives on a writing project that combines extensive reading and narrative writing using Book Creator, focusing on the impacts and cultural aspects. Using a qualitative case study design, data was gathered through interviews and analyzed with thematic analysis. The participants were fifteen second-semester students. The findings show that, according to the students, a culture-based writing project with technology integration requires structured processes to help develop ideas. This approach not only improves writing skills but also enhances cultural understanding. The study suggests that the learning model, along with its positive outcomes and contributing factors, could provide a valuable framework for university-level writing courses.

Abstract

This research explores how a teacher’s literacy practices, through a digital storytelling project, foster critical thinking and collaboration among students. It also examines students' experiences during literacy activities and the project itself. Conducted as a qualitative case study, this research involved thirty-six senior high school students. Data were gathered through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation of students’ project artifacts. The findings suggest that using reading journals during self-directed reading at home promotes critical thinking and assists students in generating ideas for their digital storytelling projects. Besides, digital storytelling projects also play a key role in enhancing students’ critical thinking and collaboration skills. Students effectively articulated issues and proposed solutions within their stories. Some topics related to the environments chosen cover air pollution, water pollution, building/housing, and illegal logging. Participation in the collaborative project encouraged students to take responsibility for their contributions and to respect differing opinions within their teams. Exploring students’ views as their reflection on experiencing literacy practices in digital storytelling projects also reveals the positive impacts on their English ability. This approach provides educators with a practical and innovative strategy to foster students’ skills, i.e. critical thinking and collaboration in the 21st century in an educational context.

Abstract

Reflection has a vital contribution to improving teachers’ teaching performance as well as their professional growth. Therefore, this research investigates how prospective teachers apply reflection activities in teaching and learning and the impacts of the implementation of an independent curriculum during teaching practice program activities. Using qualitative research, the researchers employed a group interview consisting of two participants in each group. The participants were six prospective teachers who accomplished the teaching practice program. Three types of reflections were employed, i.e., reflection-before-lesson, reflection-during-lesson, and reflection-after-lesson. The results indicate that teachers’ reflective practice leads to improvement in their teaching process and builds engagement with the students. The insights of the research results are further discussed.
