Abstract

Teacher mentors play a crucial role in supporting and guiding student teachers during their teaching practicum. While the benefits of teaching practicum and mentorship are well-documented, this qualitative study aims to delve deeper into the experiences of five EFL student teachers to understand the role of  teacher mentor during student teacher practicum. Through in-depth interviews, the research explores the perceptions of student teachers towards the practicum and mentorship. The results reveal that the role of teacher mentors is positively perceived by most of the students, because most of the mentors play a pivotal role in providing guidance and motivation, desiging a lesson plan and giving constructive feedback.  However, some students experienced lack of guidance, support as well as constructive feedback from the teacher mentors. In general, the mentorship aspect is particularly valued, as it offers essential support and professional growth opportunities. However, amidst the positive experiences, the study also uncovers various challenges encountered by student teachers such as lack of class management skill, limited student engagement and active involvement in the learning process, inadequate facilities, limited technology or classroom space and lack of sufficient preparation.

Abstract

Despite its significance particularly when it comes to writing competence, numerous studies have revealed that grammar is still considered complicated to grasp and used by students. The purpose of this study was to determine how video-based instruction affects students' understanding of grammar in writing assignments. This sequential explanatory mixed-method study aimed to investigate how students' grammatical skills especially in degree of comparison might be improved. Quantitative evaluations such as creating written test materials for the students and qualitative interviews with both teachers and students were employed. The findings showed that students' comprehension of grammatical rules for statistical tests had improved. Descriptive data evidenced that the students were clearly excited, enthralled, and actively involved with the tactics; served as a scaffold to lower obstacles; enhanced language learners' understanding; and increased students' vocabulary. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches evidenced the significance of implementing English videos to promote students’ grammatical competence in writing skills. The study's implications and suggestions are discussed.

Abstract

The present research aims to explore English teachers’ perception of intercultural competence in English language teaching at one of the Islamic schools in Lombok, Indonesia. Cultural categories and aspects were analyzed using Cortazzi and Jin’s category of culture and Byram’s checklist of cultural aspects. This qualitative case study employed observation, textbook analysis, and interviews to gain the primary data. Three English teachers were involved in an in-depth interview. The findings revealed that the teachers positively perceive intercultural competence in ELT. Furthermore, local culture was still dominant in the textbook and the teachers confirmed that local culture exposure was pivotal for students as they might be able to introduce the cultural content or products to foreigners. In terms of cultural aspects, the teachers recommended food and historical or famous places that should be recognized by the students to enhance intercultural competence. It is suggested that English teachers should introduce cross-cultural values toward intercultural competence to the students.

Abstract

The present research is a descriptive quantitative research design using a survey method. There are 30 items adapted and modified from the SILL (Strategy Inventory for Language Learning) theory used to measure students' strategies in learning English. There are two senior high school (SMA) and 2 junior high school (SMP) contexts or equivalent as the subject of this research, namely students who study in the city of Mataram (urban school setting) and outside the city of Mataram (rural school setting). There were 112 students who participated in this study. Data analysis was carried out by calculating the total score of each question to determine the percentage level of relevance of the statement to the student's condition. The results of this study indicate that the English learning strategies of students in the city and outside the city are almost the same where they use the six learning strategies. Affective strategies and metacognitive strategies remained as the most favorable learning strategies for the EFL students.

Abstract

This article examines the usefulness of the Cake App in students’ English vocabulary learning. A mixed-methods approach was used to collect data regarding 121 respondents, and questionnaires and interviews were used accordingly, which aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Cake App in improving English vocabulary. The findings suggest that the Cake app is a potential tool for vocabulary development since many users reported having enjoyable experiences and making considerable vocabulary increases. The interview findings indicate that users exhibit increased confidence in using new terminology after consistent practice with the interactive aspects of the Cake program. The use of repetition-based learning techniques and contextualization in the films enhanced users' retention of newly acquired vocabulary. Conversely, other limitations were identified, including the lack of a structured curriculum and the significance of video resources. Several users also experienced technical difficulties, including reliance on a steady internet connection. The study results suggest that while the Cake App has the potential to contribute to vocabulary development, more improvements are necessary to maximize its effectiveness as a tool for language learning. The interviews showed that the majority of users deemed the word repetition and speaking practice elements beneficial, improving their comprehension and confidence in using new language. Several users stated that the app assisted them with academic assignments and daily conversations. Nonetheless, there are several challenges were also recognized. Some users saw the app's information as occasionally monotonous particularly owing to the extensive materials provided without a defined learning framework. Moreover, technological limitations pose a significant barrier, particularly for those with limited internet usage or unreliable connections. Several participants said that they are prone to forgetting the stuff they have learned if it is not promptly documented. Consequently, the implementation of an automated note-taking tool or offline mode might enhance the app's efficacy for users seeking to optimize their learning results. These enhancements would not only optimize the Cake App’s effectiveness but also position it as a more comprehensive and structured tool for digital language learning.

Abstract

The use of technologies in language learning can improve EFL students’ learning outcomes. One of them is HelloTalk application. It has great potential to be a useful language learning tool. This is reinforced by the results of another study which found that interacting directly with native speakers is essential for improving language skills. Therefore, this study investigates the effectiveness of the HelloTalk application in improving English-speaking skills among fifth-semester students at State Islamic University of Mataram. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through observations and semi-structured interviews to explore students' experiences and progress in vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation accuracy, and fluency development. The findings indicate that HelloTalk significantly enhances students' lexical range, as frequent exposure to real-time conversations expands their vocabulary. Moreover, students reported improvements in pronunciation, particularly in distinguishing challenging phonemes, due to instant feedback from native speakers. Additionally, fluency increased as students became more confident in engaging in spontaneous dialogue with fewer pauses. However, several challenges were identified, including the high cost of premium features, internet connectivity issues, and complex app functionalities that hindered some students, particularly beginners. Despite these limitations, HelloTalk proves to be an effective tool for technology-assisted language learning, supporting real-world conversational practice. The study suggests that integrating HelloTalk into formal language courses could maximize its benefits while addressing its limitations through institutional support.

Abstract

Textbooks play a pivotal role in education, serving as primary learning resources and guiding both teaching and learning activities. Despite their importance, limited research has examined the cognitive levels of reading comprehension questions in EFL textbooks. This study aimed to analyze the level and distribution of thinking skills reflected in the reading questions of the tenth-grade Indonesian EFL textbook Bahasa Inggris. Utilizing content analysis, the study employed coding tables and checklists based on the revised Bloom"™s Taxonomy, which classifies cognitive skills into six categories: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create. A total of 123 reading questions were analyzed. The results reveal a strong dominance of lower-order thinking skills (LOTS), particularly the Remember category, which accounted for over 60% of all questions. Understand and Apply followed with 15.45% and 13.00%, respectively. Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) were significantly underrepresented, with Analyze and Evaluate comprising only 1.63%, and no instances of Create were identified. Overall, LOTS constituted 96.74% of the questions, while HOTS made up just 3.24%. These findings indicate a lack of cognitive challenge in the textbook"™s reading sections, highlighting the need for more balanced question design that promotes critical and creative thinking.How to cite this paper: Muhsinin, M., Sahni, S., Ariawan, S., Hamdi, M.
