Abstract

The importance of self-efficacy in enhancing students’ writing performance has been widely recognized, yet its specific impact on descriptive text writing remains underexplored in secondary education, especially within the EFL context. This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between self-efficacy and descriptive text writing performance among Grade X students at SMA Negeri 6 Seram Bagian Barat, Indonesia. Using a quantitative correlational design, the study collected data from 72 Grade X students through a self-efficacy questionnaire and a writing performance test. The results revealed that most students (84.7%) demonstrated moderate levels of self-efficacy, while their writing performance showed a broader distribution, with 45.8% achieving good performance and 18.1% demonstrating excellent writing skills. Statistical analysis indicated a weak but significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and writing performance (r = 0.297, p = 0.011). This finding suggests that while self-efficacy influences writing achievement, its impact may be moderated by other factors in the EFL context. The study contributes to understanding the complex relationship between psychological factors and writing performance in secondary EFL education, highlighting the need for comprehensive instructional approaches that address both cognitive and affective aspects of writing development. The findings have implications for EFL writing instruction and suggest directions for future research investigating mediating variables in the self-efficacy-writing performance relationship.

Abstract

Academic literacy, particularly the ability to write scientific papers, remains challenging for students at YPKM Christian High School in Ambon. Based on observations and interviews with the principal and Indonesian language teachers, students struggle to develop ideas into scientific writing. This Community Service aims to introduce scientific writing techniques to students and teachers. The activity was conducted on May 7, 2024, involving 11th-grade students and teachers from various subjects. The implementation method included three main sessions: introduction to basic concepts and structure of scientific papers, citation techniques, writing bibliographies, and practical article analysis. The evaluation was conducted through questionnaires distributed to all participants. The evaluation results showed a positive response from participants regarding the relevance of the material to their needs, with the highest appreciation for the discussion and Q&A aspects. Technical constraints included limited time for practical sessions, an overly large number of participants in one group, and unstable internet connections. Recommendations for similar activities in the future include limiting the number of participants per session, extending the duration of practice, and simplifying technical materials. The involvement of teachers in this program opens up opportunities for ongoing mentoring in the classroom learning process.

Abstract

This study analyzes reading comprehension questions in the English textbook “Bahasa Inggris Tingkat Lanjut” using Barrett’s Taxonomy. The objective is to categorize and evaluate the cognitive demands of these questions, providing insights into the effectiveness of the textbook in developing students' reading comprehension skills. Through a qualitative content analysis of the questions, the study identifies the distribution of questions across the five levels of Barrett’s Taxonomy: Literal Comprehension, Reorganization, Inferential Comprehension, Evaluation, and Appreciation. The findings reveal a disproportionate distribution of cognitive levels questions in this textbook. There are 6 (14%) literal comprehension, 1 (3%) reorganization question, 19 (45%) inferential questions, 11 (26%) evaluation questions, and 5 (12%) appreciation questions. The analysis suggests that the textbook moderately promotes higher-order thinking skills, but lacks a balanced distribution recommended by educational standards. The study underscores the need for a more varied approach to question design in textbooks to foster comprehensive reading skills. Implications for educators, textbook authors, and curriculum designers include the necessity to incorporate a wider range of question types to better support students' cognitive and interpretive abilities. Future research should explore the impact of diversified questioning techniques on student learning outcomes across different educational contexts. Future editions of the textbook should include more balanced distribution of questions types, reducing the proportions of Essay question and increasing the number of multiple choices questions. The textbook also should include more types of questions, such as, Yes/No, True/False and WH questions.

Abstract

Secara historis, telah terjadi disparitas pengetahuan antar wilayah di Indonesia karena pendidikan bahasa Inggris tidak memiliki akses yang memadai di wilayah timur. Kurangnya akses dan dukungan telah menyebabkan siswa kehilangan minat dalam belajar bahasa Inggris dan mengalami kesulitan dalam menggunakan bahasa tersebut. Itulah sebabnya belajar bahasa Inggris melalui lagu adalah salah satu kegiatan yang paling menyenangkan bagi para siswa. Lagu-lagu lokal akan sangat membantu memperkuat kosakata mereka. Melalui lagu-lagu lokal juga dapat memperkenalkan budaya mereka sendiri dan untuk membangun identitas yang kuat dalam pengenalan adat istiadat mereka. Program ini berfokus pada memperkaya kosakata siswa melalui lagu. Hasilnya, lagu dapat membantu siswa dalam melatih pengucapan mereka, memperluas kosakata mereka, dan melatih pendengaran mereka. Metode drill digunakan dalam pelaksanaan pelatihan, dimana lagu-lagu yang telah dipraktikkan kembali dinyanyikan oleh para siswa. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa siswa bersemangat dan menikmati pelajaran. Hal ini telah dibuktikan melalui partisipasi aktif mereka selama pelatihan dan peyampaian kesn dan pesn penutupan oleh perwakilan siswa kelas 7.

Abstract

This study investigates how local linguistic features and perceptions of This study examines code-switching as a mediational tool in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms by focusing on students’ attitudes, perceptions, and learning experiences. Although teacher code-switching between English and Bahasa Indonesia is prevalent in Indonesian EFL settings, previous research has largely emphasized teachers’ linguistic and pedagogical intentions, overlooking students’ perspectives as active participants in mediated learning. Using a mixed-method design, the study involved 100 students from grades X–XII at SMA PGRI 2 Kairatu, selected through simple random sampling. Quantitative data were gathered through questionnaires measuring cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of attitudes and perceptions, analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation tests, and regression via SPSS. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10–15 purposively selected students and analyzed thematically with data triangulation. Findings indicate that students generally hold positive attitudes toward code-switching, viewing it as a facilitative tool that bridges comprehension gaps, reduces anxiety, and promotes engagement, while also expressing concern about potential overreliance on the mother tongue. Drawing on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, the study reframes code-switching as a cognitive and pedagogical scaffold. Conducted in eastern Indonesia, it contributes a rarely represented context to global EFL discourse, advances theoretical discussions on bilingual classroom interaction, and offers pedagogical and policy implications for functionally informed, context-sensitive code-switching practices.

Abstract

Speaking remains one of the most challenging skills for foreign language learners, who often understand written and spoken texts but struggle to communicate fluently and accurately. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been introduced as an instructional approach that combines subject learning with target language use, creating authentic opportunities for oral production and interaction. This narrative review examines how CLIL contributes to speaking development, drawing on empirical studies conducted across different educational levels and contexts. Findings from the reviewed research show that CLIL consistently enhances fluency and vocabulary. Learners in CLIL programs tend to produce longer stretches of speech with fewer pauses and demonstrate broader lexical repertoires, particularly in academic vocabulary. Evidence on grammatical accuracy and pronunciation is more mixed: while learners often achieve intelligibility and communicative effectiveness, errors persist without explicit language support. Communicative competence emerges as a strong area of growth, as CLIL classrooms provide space for negotiation of meaning, turn-taking, and pragmatic use of language. The review also underscores the importance of implementation factors. Scaffolding, feedback, teacher training, and assessment practices significantly influence outcomes, while program intensity, duration, and learner motivation further shape the development of speaking skills. Although results vary across contexts, the overall evidence indicates that CLIL provides a productive environment for developing oral proficiency, offering learners both the need and the opportunity to use language meaningfully in the pursuit of content learning.
