Abstract

Three types of online interaction: Learner-Instructor; Learner-Learner; and Learner-Content, were facilitated profoundly during the public speaking class in the massive open online course using the SPADA-DIKTI learning management system. This paper explores in-depth how the online interactions occurred, the challenges, and the students' responses toward the program. The classroom setting was done fully online during one semester that consisted of 16 meetings and was participated by 40 university students throughout Indonesia. The learner-content is the most dominant interaction since the course was conducted fully online and learners completed several assignments based on the timeline. There were enough portions for learner-instructor interaction via the conference meeting class and social media group chat that allowed students to consult with the instructor directly. Although there were peer activities related to assignments and assessments, learner-learner interaction is the least happening since it can only be controlled during online synchronous meetings. Despite the students' enthusiasm for joining the course, the course objectives were not completely achieved. Only 50 % of the students passed the course and managed to complete the course learning activities. Some issues related to the workload of assignments, student motivation, and autonomous learning attitude in online courses have become problems.

Abstract

Technology has been widely used in the education field, especially for teaching language. Many teachers and students believe in the advantages of technology to enhance language learning. There have been many studies investigating the use of technology in secondary language classrooms. Some studies approve that technology can be applied to increase students' language competence. This paper comprehensively analysed the use of technology for English language teaching in the secondary level based on empirical studies. It reviews 57 articles from reputable journals and publishers. The existing literature shows that studying and reviewing the use of technology in ELT leads to a deeper understanding of its potential benefits. Many technology tools have been utilized to support the teaching of English skills. Kinds of learning activities that require technological tools and applications, such as presentation, discussion, assessment are also discussed. Additionally, problems and solutions encountered in the implementation of technology in secondary ELT levels are scrutinized in this study. HIGHLIGTS: Scholars need to set the content and pedagogy first before the technology to obtain meaningful and contextual experiments and discussion in academic circumstances. The finding unveils a fact that technology use in the ELT context contributes more to students' learning strategies, such as learning motivation, engagement, collaborative work, rather than the improvement of students' learning outcomes. This finding can be a rationale to rectify the common logical fallacy encountered among studies that claimed that technology can improve particular language skill.

Abstract

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are already a trend in educational sector. The concepts of HOTS are applied in statements of ‘basic competences’ (as known as KD) in the 2013 English Curriculum (syllabus). The purpose of stating HOTS concepts in ‘KD’ to make all of the process of teaching and learning resulted on the students’ ability to be able to think and practice higher order thinking skills in their daily life. As represented in the ‘basic competences’ (KD) of 2013 English curriculum (syllabus revised edition), HOTS can be considered as the significant point in developing indicator (as the objective) of teaching and learning. The development of indicators should be in line with the theory of HOTS, from analyzing, evaluating and creating (based on the revised Bloom taxonomy). However, there are a lot of English teachers who still get difficulties in developing appropriate teaching learning indicators in fulfilling HOTS concepts. In national practice, the policy of implementing HOTS as the basic competences may not be carried out fully by the Indonesian English teachers. There is also a tendency to ignore the discussion of developing appropriate indicator achievement as the learning objectives. HIGHLIGHTS: Curriculum developers should comprehend the concepts of the curriculum and the language theories applied to the curriculum. Basic competence should be developed following the level of Bloom's cognitive skills, particularly to generate students' higher-order thinking. Implementation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) as a policy in the 2013 English Curriculum Basic Competencies (KD) and English teachers' practices in developing competency achievement indicators

Abstract

Penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penggunaan permainan Ular Tangga (Snakes and Ladders) dalam meningkatkan kemampuan menulis teks deskriptif serta motivasi belajar siswa kelas tujuh sekolah menengah pertama dalam konteks pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (EFL). Keterampilan menulis, khususnya menulis teks deskriptif, merupakan salah satu tantangan utama bagi pembelajar EFL karena keterbatasan kosakata, struktur kalimat yang lemah, serta motivasi belajar yang rendah. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, strategi pembelajaran berbasis permainan diterapkan selama satu siklus PTK, melalui tahapan perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan campuran (mixed-methods), yaitu pengumpulan data kuantitatif melalui pre-test dan post-test, serta data kualitatif melalui observasi kelas, wawancara, dan catatan lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam kemampuan menulis siswa, dengan nilai rata-rata yang meningkat dari 51,76 pada pre-test menjadi 83,3 pada post-test. Selain itu, partisipasi siswa dalam pembelajaran juga meningkat dari 51,5% menjadi 87%, menandakan adanya peningkatan motivasi dan keterlibatan aktif dalam kegiatan kelas. Permainan Ular Tangga memberikan pengalaman belajar yang menyenangkan dan interaktif, memperkuat penguasaan kosakata, membantu siswa dalam membangkitkan ide, serta mendorong praktik menulis secara kolaboratif. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis permainan dapat menjadi strategi yang efektif dan memotivasi dalam pembelajaran menulis, khususnya untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menulis teks deskriptif di kelas EFL tingkat SMP.

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research investigated the impact of a kinesthetic team-based Reading Race activity on multidimensional student engagement among eighth-grade English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in an Indonesian junior high school. Focusing on five dimensions of engagement—enthusiasm, physical engagement, teamwork, text comprehension, and self-regulation (confidence and discipline), the study used classroom observations and a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire to collect data before and after one intervention cycle consisting of two meetings. Quantitative analysis revealed high levels of engagement across all dimensions, with teamwork and physical engagement scoring the highest. Qualitative observations supported these findings, highlighting active participation, collaboration, and increased motivation during the kinesthetic reading task. While text comprehension and self-regulation showed positive improvements, both also indicated areas for further development. The study concluded that the Reading Race method effectively fostered holistic engagement in EFL classrooms by integrating movement, competition, and cooperative learning. The findings offer practical insights for educators seeking to accommodate diverse learning styles and improve reading instruction in Indonesian junior high schools.

Abstract

This classroom action research examines the implementation of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach to improve the writing of 8G grade students at a public junior high school in Surabaya during the 2024–2025 academic year. The pre-cycle evaluation at the beginning of the learning process showed that only 36.36% of students had mastery, with an average score of 60.22, suggesting that there was still much space for improvement. As a result, lesson plans and student worksheets catered to different ability levels were created using the TaRL approach. The average student score rose significantly to 85.30 after the adoption, indicating a notable improvement in writing ability. The findings show that the TaRL model promotes equitable learning and increases student engagement, particularly when paired with differentiated learner worksheet (LKPD) and group activities. Overall, the study finds that by addressing a variety of learning needs and encouraging collaborative learning environments, the TaRL strategy not only raises student response but also improves academic achievement.
