Abstract

This study examines the role of English lecturers as change agents in promoting innovative digital ethnopedagogical reading in higher education settings. Even though higher education in Indonesia is becoming increasingly digitally oriented, technology adoption is often tool-centered rather than culturally aware, potentially endangering the ability of younger generations to retain local knowledge. This research investigates the factors that influence innovation diffusion and investigates the integration of digital tools with local cultural values (Bidar, Pulau Kemaro, Rumah Limas, Songket Palembang, Kue Maksuba) in reading instruction, as mediated by a lecturer at a state university in Palembang, South Sumatra. Data were gathered from six students chosen through purposive sampling and one lecturer, using a qualitative intrinsic case study design, until data saturation was reached. Primary data collection instruments included semi-structured interviews (lasting 20-30 minutes via WhatsApp video calls) and document analysis (YouTube videos, reading scripts, and chat logs). Four primary themes were identified through thematic analysis in accordance with (Braun & Clarke, 2006): the dynamics of drivers and barriers in innovation diffusion, the transformative impact on linguistic competence and cultural awareness, the systematic implementation through digital platforms, and the dual motivation (pragmatic efficiency and cultural preservation). The results indicate that culturally responsible lecturers, rather than institutional mandates, are the primary driving force behind sustainable innovation. By combining their cultural pride with their English language skills, students created a "glocal identity," demonstrating that tradition and technology can complement each other rather than work against one another. The study suggests that universities should establish communities of practice for cultural innovation, integrate ethnopedagogy into teacher education, address digital infrastructure inequities, and develop culturally grounded digital material repositories to support culturally sustainable educational transformation.

Abstract

This study investigates the ecological resilience of English teachers as they navigate institutional and social challenges in a private English course in Palembang, Indonesia. Grounded in Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory, the research examines how teachers maintain their professional commitment and well-being through the interplay between personal, institutional, and social systems. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from ten senior teachers at Gloria English Course through semi-structured interviews and documentation. Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring themes related to teachers' resilience across ecological layers. The findings reveal that teachers encounter institutional challenges, including policy inconsistency, excessive workload demands, and limited resources, alongside social pressures from parental expectations and workplace dynamics. Despite these difficulties, teachers demonstrated a strong adaptive capacity through personal strategies, including emotional regulation, self-reflection, and spiritual coping. Social and managerial support, especially collegial collaboration, empathetic leadership, and professional trust, played a vital role in maintaining teachers' motivation and stability. The results emphasize that resilience is not a fixed individual trait but a dynamic process shaped by reciprocal interactions between teachers and their environments. This study enriches the understanding of teacher resilience by emphasizing ecological perspectives within private educational contexts, an area that remains underexplored in Indonesian EFL research. Promoting supportive institutional systems and fostering collaborative work cultures can enhance teachers' resilience, improve well-being, and sustain professional quality in private language education.

Abstract

Bridging Cultural Identity and Digital Transformation in EFL Classrooms: A Sociocultural Perspective from Indonesia. Small and Secondary Cities in Indonesia face specific challenges when implementing digital transformation in English Language Learning (ELL). This research investigates such challenges in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia, where technology and local (culture-based) values are not well integrated into English language teaching. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the availability and use of digital technologies, the infusion of local culture into teaching-inspired materials and practices, and the challenges and opportunities faced by teachers in developing culturally responsive, digitally based English instruction across varied school types in Palembang. Method: Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were obtained through semi-structured interviews conducted with five English teachers from urban public, suburban, private, semi-rural, and madrasah schools. The data were analyzed thematically. Findings: Three themes emerged from the interviews conducted with the participants. Inequality in access to and use of digital technology between urban and semi-rural schools is considerable due to infrastructural challenges that discourage effective pedagogical practices. There is little representation of Palembang's local culture in the English-language instructional materials developed for students, despite teachers believing it could serve as a valuable component of the educational process. Conclusion: This study shows that meaningful digital transformation in English language education cannot rely solely on technology. It requires a coordinated approach that strengthens both technological infrastructure and culturally relevant pedagogy. For digital integration to truly benefit students, schools need system-level support: curriculum reforms that allow space for regional content, ongoing professional development that blends digital skills with cultural pedagogy, and fair resource distribution that prioritizes underserved schools. Without these combined efforts, digital initiatives risk deepening rather than reducing existing educational inequalities. Keywords: culturally responsive pedagogy, digital divide, teacher agency, english language learning.

Abstract

International mobility is a distinctive feature of the world of the 21st century. Individuals and their families are often moving due to business, job assignments, pursue further education etc. The children brought up in this mobility scenario are known as Third Culture Kids (TCKs). They are often exposed to different languages and cultures, what gives them unique abilities, but also brings numerous challenges. The objective of this article was to have a better understanding of TCKs living in Indonesia and what their journey of language acquisition in the country looked like. To answer these questions we collected data from 2 TCKs living in Indonesia, through interviews and artefacts using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the TCKs living in Indonesia are traditional TCKs according to Pollock & Recken’s framework of TCKs. Regarding to their journey of language acquisition the parents played an important role choosing schools and implementing a family language policies at home in order to teach them their first language, hence, parents language. However the TCKs chose to use English, as their first language due to the third culture environment they were surrounded with.

Abstract

This study examines how students feel about receiving corrective feedback from lecturers in the Speaking for Formal Interaction course and how it helps them become more proficient speakers. English education students participated in the study, which used a case study design. After being gathered via focus groups and questionnaires, the data was subjected to a thematic analysis. According to the findings, students believe that corrective feedback is crucial, particularly in formal settings. Direct correction was preferred by 27.4% of the 95 respondents, followed by recast (26.3%) and metalinguistic feedback (21.1%), indicating a preference for clear, direct feedback. This is corroborated by the fact that 12 out of 20 FGD participants preferred Direct Correction due to its advantages for clarity and retention. Students of all proficiency levels emphasized its linguistic and affective benefits. According to the study, in order to improve speaking performance, lecturers should establish a supportive environment and balance the different kinds of feedback.

Abstract

The role of parents' beliefs or ideology is one of the most important factors in promoting the strategies for encouraging children's bilingual development. This case study examined how the parents' beliefs influenced an effort to practice the languages at home. The data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, digital artefacts, and language portrait silhouettes with English-Indonesian bilingual parents, and three children at the age of 6 to 11. Nvivo12 Plus application was used to organize and code the data. The results revealed that the parents believed in the importance of laying language foundations at the golden age as this could lead to shaping confident bilingual children. Findings also highlight the influential factors in parental ideology, i.e. the changing era, parents’ experience, and the support from the extended family. Although parents chose a non-bilingual school for their children, they could practice English dominantly with children at home with a wide range of strategies. Kepercayaan atau ideologi orang tua merupakan salah satu faktor yang paling penting untuk mendukung strategi dan mendorong perkembangan bilingual anak-anak. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk meneliti bagaimana kepercayaan orang tua mempengaruhi upaya untuk mempraktekkan bahasa di rumah. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, artefak digital, dan siluet potret bahasa dengan orang tua bilingual Inggris-Indonesia, dan tiga orang anak berusia 6 hingga 11 tahun. Selanjutnya, data tersebut disusun dan dikodekan dengan menggunakan aplikasi Nvivo12 Plus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa orang tua mempercayai pentingnya meletakkan dasar bahasa pada usia emas karena hal ini dapat membentuk anak bilingual menjadi percaya diri. Hasil ini juga menunjukkan bahwa ada beberapa faktor yang memengaruhi ideologi orang tua, yaitu perubahan zaman, pengalaman orang tua, dan dukungan dari keluarga besar. Meskipun orang tua memilih sekolah non-dwibahasa untuk anak-anak mereka, mereka dapat berlatih bahasa Inggris secara dominan dengan anak-anak di rumah dengan berbagai strategi.
