Abstract

Improving students' reading comprehension remains a persistent challenge in EFL classrooms, particularly where learners exhibit low motivation and limited engagement. This study investigated the effectiveness of the Think–Pair–Share (TPS) cooperative learning strategy in an Indonesian secondary EFL classroom. Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the intervention was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages. Data were collected through a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative evidence came from pre-tests and post-tests of reading comprehension, while qualitative data were obtained from classroom observations, field notes, and interviews. The findings showed substantial improvements in both motivation and understanding. Students' mean reading scores increased from 57.22 in the pre-test to 78.26 in Cycle II, with the number achieving the passing grade rising from three to fifteen. Variability decreased, indicating more consistent achievement across the class. Qualitative results revealed a transformation from passive and disengaged learners to confident and motivated participants who valued collaboration and peer support. The study concludes that TPS is effective not only in enhancing comprehension but also in fostering a student-centered and inclusive learning environment. Teachers are encouraged to integrate TPS with explicit scaffolding and adaptive sharing formats to maximize equity and engagement in reading instruction.

Abstract

The controversy of whether the English language should be taught inductively or deductively, implicitly or explicitly, consciously or subconsciously does not seem to arrive at its compromises yet. In the meantime, the methodology for English language teaching in the Indonesian EFL context has been ascribed to the inductive teaching paradigm. However, practical demands seem to have forced the teachers to develop their own teaching strategies. It is a serious problem for English teachers, especially during their early-career teaching. The current study aims to investigate problems in the implementation of inductive approaches along with some key strategies to cope with the problems. The data were obtained through a semi-structured interview involving two EFL teachers. The data was sourced from the participants' stated experiences and documents of their recorded classroom practice. The results yielded numerous contextual problems using an inductive approach, including students' capability, grammar complexity, achievement, and time insufficiency. The study also revealed key strategies teachers take, including re-adjusting their instruction procedures when an inductive approach is applied. The study implies that teachers and educational practitioners should be aware of redesigning existing learning methodologies that can be more contextualized and meet the learners' needs.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the perspectives of English literature students at Ahmad Dahlan University regarding the use of YouTube as a teaching medium for English. The aim of this research is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of YouTube as a platform for teaching English through the voices of the students. Through semi-structured interviews, the study explores the students' perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks of using YouTube for English language instruction. The findings reveal that while most students support YouTube for English teaching due to its accessibility and visual/auditory learning, some express concerns about distractions and lack of real-time feedback. Students suggest strategies like incorporating animations, selecting high-quality content, and utilizing interactive features. Previous research also supports the positive perception of using YouTube for English language instruction, with references provided.

Abstract

Google Meet is widely used application for distance learning, but its use presents both external and internal challenges for students. This study focuses solely on the internal challenges faced by students. The aim of this research is to identify the problems encountered in using Google Meet for online English learning and to explore the strategies students employ to overcome these issues. The study was conducted with seventh-grade students from a private junior high school in Yogyakarta. A descriptive qualitative method was used, with eight seventh-grade students participating as research subjects. Data were collected through interviews and documentation, with pseudonyms used to protect students' privacy. The research identified several key internal challenges, including a lack of motivation, difficulties interacting with teachers and peers, challenges in maintaining focus, reduced confidence in using Google Meet, and difficulties with group assignments. In response to these challenges, students implemented various strategies, such as taking notes on material presented by the teacher, seeking further clarification from teachers or classmates, completing assignments on time, being more active and communicative during lessons, and strengthening their focus and attention. The findings of this study suggest that educators need to be aware of the internal challenges students face when using digital tools like Google Meet for online learning. Schools and teachers may need to provide more guidance and support to help students stay motivated and engaged in virtual classrooms. Additionally, developing student-centered strategies to enhance interaction and improve focus during online sessions is essential for ensuring effective learning outcomes.

Abstract

This qualitative case study examines how drama supports English speaking confidence among undergraduate students in an English Education Study Program. Data were obtained from video recorded analyses of three performances by seventeen students and interviews with six purposively selected participants. The analysis followed Braun and Clarke’s thematic procedures. Six themes emerged. Repeated practice strengthened confidence. Role play functioned as an emotional shield that reduced self-consciousness. Students experienced a shift from hesitation to greater fluency. Nonverbal behaviors signaled increased assurance. Peer support helped students regulate emotions during performance. Participants viewed drama as more engaging than conventional instruction. The findings align with Bandura’s self-efficacy theory and Krashen’s affective filter hypothesis. Drama provided mastery experiences, social models, persuasive feedback, and reduced anxiety, which supported language development. The study offers practical direction for curriculum design by recommending scaffolded drama tasks in speaking courses. Teachers are encouraged to use role play and impersonation activities to strengthen confidence. The study contributes contextually by examining a compulsory drama course in a private university, providing evidence of confidence gains that are transferable beyond elective drama contexts.
