Abstract

Reflective practice and teacher autonomy are conceptually linked but often examined separately. While previous studies have explored reflective practice to enhance individual self-awareness, critical thinking, and teaching competence, little is known about its broader implications for fostering teacher autonomy in institutional and policy contexts. This qualitative case study investigated how reflective teaching journals contribute to the development of professional autonomy among EFL secondary teachers. Specifically, it examined (1) the elements of reflection evident in teachers’ journal entries and (2) how teachers exercise self-initiated pedagogical decision-making in lesson preparation. Five EFL secondary teachers from a senior high school in Serang, Indonesia, were purposively selected. Data comprised 20 reflective journal entries, guided by structured reflection prompts, and semi-structured interviews. Five reflection elements, suggestions, problems, hypotheses, reasoning, and testing were identified using content analysis and thematic coding. Testing and reasoning were most frequently linked to problem-solving strategies for increasing student engagement. Autonomy was evident in teachers’ adaptations of syllabi, sequencing of topics, and supplementation or replacement of textbook materials to meet learners’ needs. The findings indicate that reflective elements do not necessarily occur in a fixed sequence and highlight how reflective journaling can serve as both a diagnostic and developmental tool for teacher autonomy. The study recommends greater institutional support for diverse reflective practices to strengthen teachers’ capacity for informed, context-responsive decision-making in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Background: The struggle of a young English as a foreign language (EFL) learner in the midst of advanced technology to find pleasure and develop good comprehension in reading English materials necessitates the need to employ effective approaches in their reading experience. Objective: This study investigated the implementation of digital extensive reading (DER) with a young EFL learner in Indonesia, exploring which established principles of extensive reading (ER) by Day and Bamford (1998) could be utilized in a digital context to foster reading for pleasure and comprehension. Methods: This study employed a qualitative case study research design involving a seven-year-old young EFL learner in Indonesia. The data were obtained through multiple sources, including a learner diary, audio-recorded observations of ten DER sessions, and an interview with the learner’s father. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, referencing Day and Bamford’s (1998) top ten principles of ER. Findings: The findings revealed that eight ER principles could be effectively implemented in the young EFL learner’s DER experience, showcasing the learner’s positive attitudes towards reading and enhanced reading comprehension. Conclusion: Considering the result, the study recommends future studies to dig deeper into the effectiveness of DER across diverse learners by taking into account factors such as different ages, language proficiencies, learning styles, and technology access.

Abstract

Online peer feedback on writing has been studied by many scholars to examine the applications, the effectiveness, the weaknesses, and the students' perceptions in the context of learning English for general purposes, but little attention has been paid to its use in the area of English for specific purposes. The present study aims to reveal the Economics students’ experiences with the use of online peer feedback in writing. This study was designed as a mixed-method inquiry that involved 140 Economics students at a university in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, who took English courses. The data was gathered using a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview, which were analyzed based on each type, quantitatively and qualitatively, to reach the objective of the study. The results show that economics students viewed the use of online peer feedback in writing activities very positively. The results of this research contribute theoretically and practically to encouraging the use of online peer feedback in improving student effectiveness and skills.

Abstract

By using a qualitative textual analysis with a multimodal approach, this study explores how environmental issues are depicted in the relations of verbal and visual texts of an EFL module for primary school. The data were obtained from an EFL module for the fifth grade made by the EYL Course Design course students at one university in Bandung. In analysing the data, this study utilized three frameworks: Halliday and Mathiessen’s (2014) Transitivity system, Kress and van Leeuwen’s (2006) Visual Grammar, and Royce’s (1998) Intersemiotic Complementarity. The findings show that, by using a story, the module represents three points of drought-related environmental issues: the causes, the effects, and the solutions. The causes are mostly depicted visually by Transactional Action processes in which the Actors use water as the Goal or the Means in excess. The effects are mostly depicted verbally by Mental, Existential, and Relational processes that indicate human need for water. Meanwhile, the solutions are mostly depicted verbally by Material processes in which water (Goal) becomes an element to be saved by the Actors. In terms of complementarity, most of the elements of verbal and visual texts are completed by each other. Hence, encouraging students’ comprehension of the module, especially related to environmental issues, could be expanded by identifying both texts as a single whole.

Abstract

Teachers’ professional development is essential for improving student learning outcomes and fostering overall educational quality. However, many teachers believe that TPD programs are ineffective. Teachers require ongoing programs, encouraging them to discuss ideas and give feedback, and do a collaboration. One of the programs is community of practice, which is a social learning process in which individuals with similar interest collaborate. Thus, this study aims to explore teachers’ learning in community of practice to develop their professional growth. This study adopted case study design involving a group of English teachers in Indonesia who joining an online TPD program. The data were gained through WhatsApp interaction between the teachers and the trainer, and among the teachers. The findings indicated that teachers learn in community of practice by getting proposed questions and given feedback by the trainers, getting teaching resources from the trainers and their fellow teachers, and presenting an issue related to their teaching. These aspects lead to interaction among them. Moreover, the presence of a group coordinator and administrator may help the teachers to foster teachers’ engagement towards the program.

Abstract

Research on the roles of textbooks in EFL teaching contexts has been widely reported. However, studies on textbook adaptation strategies in a technology-integrated classroom have not received much attention. To fill the gap, the current research sought to explore the types of textbook adaptation strategies employed by an Indonesian EFL teacher in a technology-integrated teaching environment. The challenges encountered and the coping strategies used by the teacher were also investigated. Through a qualitative case study design, an English teacher of an Islamic junior high school in Medan was purposively recruited as the participant. An interview and document analysis were employed to collect the data. The interview data were analyzed using a thematic analysis while the documents were through skimming, reading, and interpretation. The findings revealed that the teacher employed several adaptive strategies, such as omission, addition, and modification on the assignments, the language skills, student activities, and approaches (conventional to the technology-based classroom) through the use of websites, a projector, and digital tools. It was also found that adapting the textbook was challenged by the varied students' levels of proficiency and learning styles, as well as the students' expectations of the teacher. As the coping strategies, the teacher optimized her skills of technology literacy to design creative and engaging learning materials and included tasks that met the levels of students from low and high-achieving groups. The findings of this study imply the crucial roles of all education stakeholders in providing support for teachers to use textbooks effectively

Abstract

This case study aimed to investigate the use of the social media video application, TikTok, to support ten EFL teachers in Indonesia to develop videos for storytelling with their students. During the emergency remote teaching, these teachers found difficulty in designing learning materials easy to share on various online platforms. In this study, a two-week training program consisting of face-to-face and online sessions was conducted to facilitate the teachers to explore TikTok affordances and tell stories in the form of TikTok’s Duet. The data were collected from TikTok videos produced during the program and the teachers’ pre- and post-training reflective notes. The findings show the teachers’ shifted view of TikTok as non-educational entertainment to an educational platform that could facilitate interactive and interesting storytelling with students. The teachers were aware that while the short duration of the TikTok video was beneficial for easy sharing and engagement with students, it affected the length of the unfolding stages of the story. In creating a TikTok video for storytelling, the teachers found modifying original stories into a one-minute interactive video challenging. More support is thus required to provide teachers with pedagogical, technological, and language content knowledge that allows them to develop teaching resources relevant to their student’s language learning needs and social and economic backgrounds.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the language proficiency level of primary English language teachers’ (PELTs) productive skills (speaking and writing) analyzed using the Common European Framework of References (CEFR) and Kurikulum Merdeka. As a foreign language in Indonesia, English language proficiency among PELTs is crucial to determine the success of the learning process in a classroom. Furthermore, PELTs should also possess adequate language proficiency to communicate effectively with students in any situation. However, several local context studies show the low language proficiency level possessed by PELTs. The low proficiency level was mostly gained through general English tests, for example TOEFL, which focuses on teachers’ receptive skills (listening and reading) and structure. A qualitative approach and case study research design were employed in this study. It was identified that the majority of teachers’ productive skills proficiency level is categorized into the B1/B2 level of CEFR. Additionally, the mixed level of proficiency among PELTs is still apparent which can create issues regarding primary-students’ language development and the standard of proficiency level that PELTs should be. Therefore, by involving subject teachers' communities and the government, a standard of language proficiency for PELTs should be developed.

Abstract

Multimodal literacy is seen as an integral part of 21st century learning since children are growing withvarious modes of communication in their daily life. Despite its significance emphasized in the nationalcurriculum, the study about multimodal literacy in English classrooms in Indonesia is still limited. Thisstudy aimed to expose the incorporation of multimodal literacy into English classrooms from the perspectiveof elementary and middle schools’ English teachers across Indonesia. This research was conducted throughan online questionnaire distributed through WhatsApp. There were sixty-one English teachers fromdifferent regions in Indonesia who volunteered to participate. A descriptive qualitative approach was usedto analyze the data to understand teachers’ perspectives and challenges of integrating multimodal literacy inEnglish classrooms. The study revealed that the majority of participants had the awareness of multimodalliteracy in the digital era. Moreover, they held positive attitudes towards the integration of multimodalliteracy in English classrooms even though there were limitations, such as the lack of school facilities,teachers’ understanding in effective strategies and teachers’ skills in using technologies. The teachersalso realized that multimodal literacy has been highlighted in the national curriculum, yet they havenot fully understood the concept of multimodal literacy. This study contributes to the understanding ofmultimodal literacy in English classrooms, that despite the positive attitudes and opportunities to integratemultimodal literacy in English classrooms, there is still a wide area for improvement. Thus, teachers’professional development should promote effective strategies to include multimodal literacy in Englishlanguage classrooms in response to the curriculum reform.
