Abstract

Test anxiety often appears in EFL students, especially in online assessments. The difficulties and anxiety associated with online testing must be taken into account when examining the impact of anxiety in technology-based assessments on EFL students. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of anxiety in technology-based assessment on EFL students. This study also explores the students’ perspective on the connection between the uses of technology in assessment and anxiety. The researchers use qualitative research as the method of the research. This research was conducted at one of the universities in Yogyakarta. The interviews were conducted with four students from the second semester in-depth interview. In general, it is found that students tend to view online tests positively, perceiving them as a flexible and practical method of assessment. However, the findings also indicate that online test anxiety has a negative impact on the academic performance of EFL students and contributes to their perception of online assessments. It has been established that students experiencing high levels of anxiety may impair their reasoning and abstract thinking abilities, which can have a significant effect on the students’ academic performance.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate English teachers' beliefs and practices regarding the Genre-Based Approach in the classroom, as well as the effectiveness of its implementation in improving students' language understanding and skills. A case study was conducted in three junior high schools, including one private school, with data collected through interviews, classroom observations, and teaching module analysis. The results show that most teachers had a limited understanding of GBA, with only one teacher demonstrating deeper knowledge. Teachers' beliefs about GBA were influenced by three factors: the importance of GBA, its impact on students, and the sources of their beliefs. This study highlights the importance of professional development and curriculum support to enhance the implementation of GBA in English language teaching.

Abstract

Since the beginning, the 2013 EFL curriculum has become a center for research in the field of language learning. This can be seen from pro and cons that surround during the implementation. At certain level, the 2013 EFL curriculum has reported facing various issues. These issues, especially, related to the use of predetermined syllabus and textbooks as the main models of learning, reduction in teaching hours, teaching approach, and the authentic assessment. Reflecting from these issues, this study tries to map the implementation of the curriculum in the classroom by appointing to Snyder et al. (1992) approach models. It is conducted by noticing Fullan’s (2007) curriculum implementation factors. The study employs a sequential exploratory method involving twenty-one EFL teachers from five different senior high schools and two hundred-thirteen students. The study reveals that there are two models of approach that are most often applied by EFL teachers. These are mutual-adaptive and fidelity approach model. Eventually, the factors that emerge need to be taken into consideration by policy makers as evaluation material for further language curriculum development.

Abstract

Third-year pre-service teachers in the English language education department in Indonesia may feel uncertain about their mental readiness to become English teachers. Although they have a high-intermediate level of English proficiency, they often fear facing the challenges of managing the class and showcasing mental readiness to become teachers. Therefore, this study explores the third-year Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers’ mental readiness to become teachers, and the need to emphasize mental readiness and grit to successful teaching practice. Twenty-three EFL pre-service teachers enrolled a microteaching course, as one of the teaching practice components in the English language education curriculum, participated in this study. They were asked to write structured reflections on their mental readiness, and their reflections were thoroughly examined using a narrative analysis. The results showed that the pre-service teachers expressed concern about their ability to manage the class and their students, which reflects their mental unreadiness to be the person in charge in the classroom. Moreover, the pre-service teachers highlighted the need to be more mentally aware of their attitude and grit in shaping their mental readiness to teach. This study contributes to a larger context-specific understanding of the roles of the English teacher education programs at the university level in assisting pre-service English teachers to achieve mental readiness and grit that can help them address the challenges.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using "A Day in My Life" content on TikTok to improve the speaking performance of eleventh-grade tourism department students at SMK Bahari Ambon. Despite the growing popularity of ICT tools in education, many students still struggle with speaking skills, particularly in contexts that require confidence and fluency. This research aimed to determine how TikTok, as an innovative educational tool, could impact students' speaking abilities. The study involved 27 students and was conducted over three cycles, utilising a mixed-method approach that included project presentations as tour guides, video projects at tourist attractions in Ambon, observation checklists, interviews, and scripts of tourist attractions. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' speaking skills, with average scores increasing from 48 in the first cycle to 71.5 in the second cycle and reaching 97.7 in the third cycle. Descriptive data showed that using TikTok enhanced students' confidence, reduced their fear of making mistakes, and encouraged continuous practice. Both quantitative and qualitative results highlighted the importance of consistent speaking practice, appropriate media use, and engaging classroom activities in improving speaking performance. The study concludes with implications for educators and suggests that integrating "A Day in My Life" content on TikTok is an effective strategy for enhancing students' speaking performance in the tourism department.

Abstract

This study intended to investigate International Posture and Intercultural Awareness of Indonesian L2 learners of English who studied at English Language departments. It also sought to investigate the extent to which learners' International Posture influenced their Intercultural Awareness. It was conducted to fill the gap in the literature on the scarcity of studies on International Posture and Intercultural Awareness in Indonesia despite the likelihood of communication prospects in English with international people. To this end, it involved 73 participants studying in English Language Education departments at two universities in Java, Indonesia, in a survey. Through descriptive statistics on SPSS, the study found a quite high level of Intergroup Approach-Avoidance Tendencies (IAAT), the first dimension of International Posture. It also found a moderate-high level of Interest in International Vocation and Activities (IIVA), the second dimension of International Posture. Furthermore, the participants’ awareness of their own cultures and those of others was generally high though some of the participants' awareness of specific aspects of other cultures was reported to be low. Using multiple regression, the study found that generally, the participants’ International Posture significantly influenced their Intercultural Awareness, accounting for 22.3% of the total variance in Intercultural Awareness. However, from the beta coefficient analysis, it was found that only the participants’ IAAT significantly influenced their Intercultural Awareness in a positive direction. Their IIVA did not significantly influence it. The findings highlighted the need to nurture second/foreign language (L2) learners’ International Posture and conduct further investigation on the possible impacts of learners’ International Posture on learners’ ICC in general.

Abstract

Culture shocks, miscommunications, and even conflict will occur due to a lack of intercultural communication skills. Effective communication with native speakers requires language abilities, cultural awareness, and familiarity with local customs. Several studies on intercultural relationships have been documented. However, there is still limited research on the levels that affect intercultural awareness. This study aims to examine the intercultural awareness of pre-service teachers. This study aims to investigate the levels that affect intercultural awareness among aspiring pre-service teachers participating in an international teaching practicum (ITP). The design used a qualitative multiple-case study. Interviews with eight aspiring English pre-service teachers from Indonesia were conducted to collect data. The results show that the majority of participants agreed that during an international teaching practicum program, they gained the ability to compare and mediate cultural differences and similarities. Indonesian pre-service teachers being investigated had good intercultural awareness. The findings suggest important practical implications for providing students with sufficient references to assist pre-service teachers in enhancing and developing their intercultural teaching abilities.
