Abstract

Critical thinking, as one of the 21st century skills, is a necessary skill needed to prepare students for further studies and the workforce. This study aimed at exploring English students’ critical thinking skills through reflective journal. The study focused on two research questions: (1) To what extent does reflective journal enhance the EFL students’ critical thinking? (2) What aspect of EFL students’ critical thinking skills does enhance significantly? A quantitative and qualitative design were utilized. Applying purposive sampling technique, 30 EFL students who participated in micro teaching course in Universitas Negeri Makassar were taken as sample of the research. The instrument of this research was students’ reflective journals. The data collected were analyzed through descriptive statistical as well as qualitative analysis. The results of the research showed that the use of reflective journal in Micro Teaching course improves EFL students’ critical thinking skills in moderate way. The significant increase in students’ critical thinking takes place in evaluating aspect reaching approximately 70% increase. This indicates that reflective journal helps facilitate the EFL students improve their ability to develop their analysis in determining the strengths and weaknesses of their teaching practices in a factful and logical way. The study also indicated that some students still find it difficult to make final statement in conclusion as the best alternative solution to improve their practice in the future. Finally, the study implies that EFL teachers need to do their best to integrate critical thinking in their teaching either explicitly or implicitly.

In Week 1 there were 72 omission errors, 60 addition errors, 82 misinformation and 16 misordering errors. In week 2 there were 53 omission errors, 54 addition errors, 56 misinformation errors and 13 Misordering. The last test in week 3 was Omission with 30 errors, Addition with 39 errors, misinformation with 31 errors and misordering with 3 errors.

Abstract

This study examines the strategies used by English teachers at SMAN 1 Barru to promote students’ motivation in learning English. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through classroom observations and interviews with teachers. The findings identify two main strategies: Active Learning and Reward Strategies. Active Learning includes group discussions, gamified quizzes, and brainstorming, which encourage student engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking. Reward Strategies involve social rewards such as verbal praise and public recognition, as well as material rewards like certificates and bonus points, all aimed at reinforcing positive learning behaviors. These strategies have significantly increased student motivation, resulting in higher levels of participation, confidence, and enthusiasm in English classes. The study offers useful insights for educators and suggests further research on the long-term impact of these strategies and additional methods to sustain motivation in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This research aims (1) to find out the activities carried out by English teachers using Platform Merdeka Mengajar at MAN Pinrang to improve their pedagogical competence, and (2) to explore the perception of English teachers in using Platform Merdeka Mengajar at MAN Pinrang to improve their pedagogical competence. In this study, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative method. Three teachers who use Platform Merdeka Mengajar were selected as participants. Data were collected through observations and interviews. The results showed that there are several activities carried out by teachers in using Platform Merdeka Mengajar, namely in terms of developing lesson plans, improving self-development, using technology in the teaching process, and utilizing Platform Merdeka Mengajar features such as teaching tools (modules, teacher manuals student books), inspirational video, and portfolio evidence. Teachers utilize these features to find references in designing lesson plans and to find inspiration and creative learning methods. The perceptions of teachers using Platform Merdeka Mengajar to improve their competence are that teachers can easily access the various features provided. The available features are also beneficial in improving their competence by providing various references, such as modules and various best practice videos that can be used to adjust learning methods. This finding improves English teachers’ pedagogical competence, especially in adjusting learning methods and finding references. In addition, several obstacles are experienced in using Platform Merdeka Mengajar, such as the account used to access the platform being deleted and experiencing network constraints that are sometimes less stable. This shows the importance of improving infrastructure and technical management to maximize and ensure that the platform’s potential can be fully utilized to improve teachers’ pedagogical competence.

Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian lecturers’ perceptions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in translation education, focusing on how technology reshapes pedagogy, student engagement, and institutional practices. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with lecturers who actively integrated AI tools into translation teaching. Thematic analysis identified five major findings: perceived benefits of AI for efficiency and accessibility, pedagogical shifts and curriculum integration, challenges of student dependence and diminished critical thinking, ethical and responsible use of AI tools, and AI as a catalyst for institutional and administrative efficiency. While lecturers acknowledged AI’s transformative potential in facilitating translation tasks, they also highlighted risks of overreliance, ethical dilemmas, and uneven access. The study concludes that integration requires balancing technological affordances with humanistic values, fostering critical AI literacy, and embedding ethical considerations in pedagogy. These findings contribute to ongoing debates on AI-enhanced translation pedagogy in global higher education institutions.

Abstract

This pre-experimental study explores the effectiveness of integrating modified English songs in enhancing vocabulary retention among seventh-grade EFL learners in Indonesia. The research was conducted with 25 students at SMPN 3 Minasatene using a one-group pre-test–post-test design. The intervention consisted of five instructional sessions incorporating songs whose lyrics were deliberately adapted to match thematic vocabulary categories (objects, body parts, shapes, and vegetables). Each session combined listening, singing, contextual vocabulary practice, and short individual performances to reinforce lexical recall. Quantitative results revealed a significant improvement in learners’ vocabulary mastery, with the mean pre-test score (M = 69.64, SD = 5.95) increasing to the post-test mean (M = 89.12, SD = 6.31). The normalized gain (<g> = 0.64) indicates a high level of effectiveness based on Hake’s criteria. Qualitative observations further suggest that using modified songs enhanced learner motivation, enjoyment, and confidence in using English vocabulary. The findings demonstrate that purposeful integration of contextualized and culturally relevant songs can serve as an engaging medium for vocabulary development in early secondary EFL contexts. Pedagogical implications and recommendations for future experimental research designs are also discussed.

Abstract

This study investigates how Nina Riva resolves her psychological conflicts in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Malibu Rising by employing Kurt Lewin’s theory of Positive, Negative, and Induced Valence. The research aims to reveal how inner struggles and emotional tensions shape the protagonist’s transformation and self-realization. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the analysis focuses on the novel’s narrative structure, character interactions, and dialogues that illustrate the stages of Nina’s psychological development. The findings indicate that Nina predominantly resolves her internal conflicts through Positive and Positive Induced Valences, allowing her to attain emotional balance and personal growth. Negative valence also appears as an initial catalyst that triggers her self-awareness before she redirects it into constructive action. The study highlights that inner conflict in literature not only reflects human psychological processes but also functions as a narrative strategy to portray resilience, autonomy, and identity formation. This research contributes to the broader discussion of literary psychology by demonstrating how Lewin’s theoretical lens can deepen understanding of character motivation and emotional evolution in contemporary fiction.
