Abstract

The process and outcomes of higher education's internationalization have been enhanced in this internet era as the world becomes increasingly connected. The phenomenon of “internationalization of higher education” has emerged over the past 30 years, including in Indonesia. Internationalization refers to the integration of an international perspective into a university or college’s teaching and learning, research, services, and overall operations. This study was conducted at Sriwijaya University and aimed to explore English language practices within the institution, as well as the perspectives of study program coordinators and lecturers regarding the internationalization of higher education. A qualitative method was employed to gather data through semi-structured interviews, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that English is a vital component of instruction, communication, and institutional development, playing a significant role in promoting the internationalization process. Moreover, the findings indicated that language barriers remain a major obstacle to the globalization of higher education, particularly in integrating international students into classroom environments. However, consistent exposure to English through classes, conversations, and institutional programs, such as international seminars and bilingual academic events, significantly improves students' language engagement and proficiency.

Abstract

English reading proficiency is a fundamental requirement for university students in EFL contexts, yet reading instruction in Indonesian higher education often lacks alignment with students’ academic needs, cultural identity, and technological realities. This study aimed to investigate students’ needs in English reading instruction through a comprehensive needs analysis covering learning goals, current abilities, learning difficulties, perceptions of local wisdom integration, and technological readiness. A quantitative survey design was employed, involving 67 undergraduate students at a state university in South Sumatra. Data were collected through a structured needs analysis questionnaire and analysed descriptively using percentage distribution. The findings reveal that students perceive English reading as essential for future academic and professional purposes, with reading identified as the most relevant skill for anticipated language use. However, students report moderate current reading proficiency and significant vocabulary-related comprehension difficulties, indicating a clear gap between present ability and expected proficiency. The results further show strong student demand for English reading materials integrating South Sumatran local wisdom i.e., customs and arts, reflecting the importance of culturally responsive pedagogy in higher education EFL contexts. Additionally, while most students possess adequate digital devices, unstable internet connectivity and limited digital literacy present challenges for fully digital reading implementation. These findings suggest that effective English reading instruction in Indonesian universities should incorporate vocabulary-supported reading strategies, culturally contextualized materials, and technology-sensitive delivery. The study provides empirical evidence to support the development of needs-based and culturally responsive English reading curricula in higher education.

Abstract

Strong literacy skills have a significant impact on the mastery of other areas, including numeracy. Although numeracy itself does not directly contribute to the core definition of multimodal literacy, numerical concepts can be taught using a multimodal approach through the use of visual, audio, and kinesthetic modes. Thus, multimodal literacy not only supports the development of language competencies, but can also enrich cross-disciplinary learning strategies. For multimodal learning to be implemented optimally, teachers need to master TPACK, which enables them to design meaningful learning experiences by effectively utilizing technology. This community service activity aims at providing solutions to these problems through training and mentoring for teachers as SD Negeri 149 Palembang in designing and implementing TPACK-based multimodal literacy, the basic principles of TPACK, and practical applications in developing lesson plans that integrate technology and multimodality. This activity was conducted from October 2025 to November 2025, at SD Negeri 149 Palembang, attended by 23 teachers. The implementation methods included four stages, namely identification of teachers’ needs and potential through observations and interviews; presentation on the theory and practice of multimodal literacy and TPACK; workshop on designing TPACK-based and multimodal learning; and the implementation and evaluation of classroom activities. Supported by simple technology applications, such as Canva and other interactive applications, the activity resulted on the knowledge about how to meaningfully integrate technology with pedagogical approaches and content to create rich and engaging learning experiences for students. The use of Topworksheets was one alternative to choose.

Abstract

The use of differentiated learning approaches to learning has become a trend in the MERDEKA Curriculum. This study aimed to improve English learning outcomes of report text through the differentiated learning approach based on students' readiness. This study utilized Classroom Action Research conducted in class XB at SMAN 4 Palembang with 34 students. Data for this research were obtained from tests, observations, tasks, and documentation. The data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative analysis involved data processing, reading, classifying, and interpreting, while quantitative data were analyzed using percentage analysis. This study consisted of two cycles, starting with the pre-cycle. Initially, 12 students (35.3%) passed, while 22 students (64.7%) did not reach the Minimum Learning Mastery Standard (KKM) with an average score of 63.82. After Cycle I, the number of students who successfully completed the tasks increased to 15 (44.1%), with 19 students (55.9%) not reaching the target, and the average score improved to 71.17. In Cycle II, a significant improvement was observed, with 33 students (97%) reaching the KKM, and only 1 student (3%) did not pass, resulting in an average score of 89.11. The differentiated learning approach effectively enhances English learning outcomes. Teachers should employ differentiated learning for enhanced results and create engaging classrooms.
