Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of storytelling as a teaching tool in Islamic high schools. Since they will have numerous opportunities to learn English effectively, this study also focused on selecting tenth-grade students as participants. If students who are told stories have an impact on their ability to communicate, the researcher would like to investigate this. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the storytelling approach as a teaching strategy in secondary Islamic institutions. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the narrative method may help tenth-grade students at MAN 1 Samarinda become more proficient speakers. Pre- and post-tests were employed in the quantitative research design to gauge how well storytelling improved students' speaking abilities. Written assessments, group discussions, and questionnaires were the study's instruments. Students were required to create short stories based on their everyday experiences for the written exam. During group presentations, students read the stories they had written in front of the class, and their performance was evaluated on their fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, idea structure, expression, and gestures. Students' responses about using the storytelling method to improve their speaking abilities were gathered through questionnaires. The findings demonstrated that pupils' speaking abilities were improved via storytelling. After engaging in narrative exercises, students demonstrated gains in vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. Additionally, this strategy was well received by pupils, the majority of whom reported feeling more driven and intrigued. The purpose of this literature review is to expand readers' knowledge about the function of storytelling in the classroom, specifically about students' development as more fluent communicators. For this investigation, a quantitative research approach will be used.

Abstract

Along with the growing awareness of gender equality, language learning should start working on issues of gender equality besides focusing on language acquisition. Using interactive qualitative methods from Miles, Huberman, and Saldana combined with Peirce's semiotics, this study aimed to examine the depiction of gender roles displayed in illustrations of English textbooks for eighth grade students. The results showed that there were attempts to deconstruct the gender roles of both men and women, although gender stereotypes remained common. The emerging stereotypes were depictions of men with darker skin colour and male characters doing outdoor activities. In addition, the proportion of female characters appeared less frequent than male characters. Meanwhile, the deconstruction raised was the role of boys in household activities such as cooking, sweeping, wrapping gifts, setting up dining table, and using clothes in pastels while the female characters were depicted in outdoor activities. However, the delivered deconstruction was subtle as identified in female characters engaged in outdoor activities tended to get safer settings than male characters. Considering that children’s perception on gender are affected by language, it is important for parties involved in language learning to be aware of things that may extend gender role disparities found in the widely accessed learning material such as textbooks and address these issues while conducting their language instruction.

Another goal, of this study, was to identify the students’ reasons related to their reading in textual comprehension. This study applied mixed methods both quantitative and qualitative. The design used descriptive statistics and interviews. the instrument used was a test and a list of interviews. the population in this study was 99 students of Public Vocational Schools in Samarinda whereby, overall, this population also became the sample.  The result was the students in the fair category. The majority of students got a score around 70 which was included as a fair category. This is in line with the school policy of considering minimum passing grades in English subjects. From qualitative data, it was found that the students were helped by the test which was considered as lower-order thinking (LOT). The test was in multiple choice and the topic was familiar. Surprisingly, based on the findings, this Zillenial generation has low literacy as they acknowledged that they don’t have any specific time for doing English literacy except only the teacher’s command. If the topic of the text is considered difficult usually, they will use translator apps to comprehend the text easily.

Abstract

Education plays a central role in shaping the character and civilization of a dignified nation. In Indonesia, the role of elementary schools is crucial as the foundational stage in forming students' identity and character. One of the key components of the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) policy is strengthening the Profil Pelajar Pancasila (Pancasila Student Profile). Through this initiative, the values embedded in the Pancasila Student Profile—such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong), diversity (kebinekaan), independence (kemandirian), and critical thinking—are successfully introduced and cultivated in students through hands-on and reflective activities. This effort also demonstrates that even abroad, Pancasila-based character education can still be instilled and developed through adaptive and collaborative learning.

Abstract

Elementary education serves as a crucial foundation in shaping cognitive abilities, comprehension, and the capacity to express ideas both in written and spoken forms. Among the fundamental competencies that need to be instilled early on are reading and writing skills, which are integral components of literacy. This training program is designed to enhance teachers' competencies in developing students' literacy skills through a participatory training approach and intensive mentoring. The training is conducted in the form of a three-day interactive workshop, covering effective reading strategies, creative writing techniques, and the use of both digital and conventional literacy media. The program also emphasizes the importance of fostering a literate and collaborative learning environment, involving teachers, students, and parents in literacy-based learning activities. Success is measured by increased student participation in reading and writing activities, the availability of contextual supplementary reading materials, and the establishment of a simple yet sustainable literacy culture in the classroom. Through this initiative, the goal is to create a strong foundation for lifelong learning and critical thinking among young learners.

Abstract

Reading critically empowers students' learning for justice, equality and coherence in their lives and in society as a whole. Unfortunately, student teachers and faculty members continue to struggle with enhancing their critical reading and skills. Therefore, it is essential to conduct a formative assessment of critical reading instructors and the curriculum. This study identifies the lecturers' perceptions of the concept of a critical reading course and assesses whether the learning outcomes of critical reading meet the critical reading dimension and the heutagogy principle. Employing qualitative methods, a comprehensive understanding of the lecturers' understanding of critical reading and its implementation in the classroom was acquired. In this study, the sample consisted of four instructors of critical reading courses who were reqruited using purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was based on an inductive, constant comparative method through an initial reading of the interview transcripts and documents, apparent themes were identified and coded, and categories of language use were determined. It was discovered that they struggled to define the concepts of critical reading and had no specific strategies for teaching this course. Critical reading's primary objective is not empowerment. These results were supported by the analysis of the course's syllabus, which revealed that none of the social levels of critical reading proficiency were developed in this class. In addition, critical reading is viewed solely as a cognitive skill and has not yet reached the critical dimension. Thus, it is of the utmost importance to replace and revise learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines students' perceptions and experiences in using ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-based application, in learning English writing. Using mixed methods, data was obtained through questionnaires involving 40 students and interviews involving 3 students from the English Education program in 1st semester at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur (UMKT). The findings indicated that while ChatGPT is perceived as accessible and easy to use, a significant number of students expressed neutrality or concerns regarding its efficacy in supporting English writing development. However, many students were uncertain about its contribution to improve their writing skills, with some expressing doubt about the accuracy of its suggestions and concerns about over-reliance on the tool. This study concluded that despite its potential, ChatGPT's effectiveness in enhancing English writing remained debatable due to these reservations.

Abstract

This study explores the multifaceted role of English teachers in addressing the instructional challenges encountered at the secondary school level in Samarinda, Indonesia. Given the increasing demand for English proficiency and the limitations within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, this research investigates the core obstacles faced by educators and the strategies they implement to enhance student learning outcomes. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, using structured interviews with purposively selected English teachers based on experience, educational background, teaching methodology, and school location. Thematic analysis revealed three principal themes: instructional challenges (e.g., time constraints, student apathy, technical limitations), pedagogical considerations in choosing learning strategies, and adaptive solutions such as differentiated instruction and peer collaboration. The findings highlight teachers’ critical role in adjusting instructional methods to students' diverse needs and utilizing collaborative networks to overcome resource limitations. The study contributes original insight by focusing on localized, real-world teacher experiences in a specific urban-rural Indonesian setting an area that remains underrepresented in existing literature. It underscores the necessity of systemic support and continuous professional development for EFL teachers navigating complex classroom dynamics.
