Many studies use a developmental design for media such as flipbooks, but there is small research that focuses on the implementation of flipbooks for English lessons for formative assessment. This study aims to explain the procedure and the experience of using flipbooks for English lessons for formative assessment because it is fully integrated into the teaching and learning process. A teacher and 8_grade students taking an International Class Program (ICP) were observed and interviewed. This study shows that the implementation of using flipbooks for learning English for formative assessment can be implemented well in schools that have technological means to support them. Some students feel like it is fun and practical to use flipbooks but there are also some who even feel uncomfortable using flipbooks.

Critical thinking is still infrequently taught in the classroom, particularly in Indonesia, despite the fact that many experts believe it is a vital problem in the education area. As a result, the purpose of this research was to picture the use of the revised Bloom taxonomy to investigate critical thinking in language tests. The article analyses the test items in language tests which consists of the High thinking order level based on the revised Bloom's theory. To begin, this current work summarizes past research, which found that critical thinking has been studied in a variety of areas in language teaching but has yet to address language evaluation using the revised Bloom's taxonomy. It is necessary to present the six-level Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) taxonomy, which is then referred to as the revised Bloom's taxonomy, before discussing how to promote critical thinking. Then, the finding indicates that the item tests which are considered to be high order skills consistently direct students to think critically and systematically.

This article discusses policies governing the English curriculum in Indonesian primary schools. English, as local content or as an extracurricular subject delegated to each school, creates inequality in primary school education as some primary schools offer English learning and many do not, for various reasons such as a lack of qualified human resources at TEYL, or insufficient facilities. This ambivalence eventually creates problems at the primary education level, including a lack of clarity regarding careers for English teachers in primary schools. This results in a limit on the number of tertiary institutions that provide English-teaching education for EYL, so that primary schools in turn employ classroom teachers who have no credentials to teach English in the classroom. This ambivalence would not have occurred if the government had made a firm decision on the existence of English as a subject in Indonesian primary schools. Therefore, the authors of this article make an argument for the importance of mastering English as an international language (EIL) for young learners in non-English-speaking countries, especially in this era of rapid technological development. This article suggests that the government should immediately establish a clear policy regarding the status of English as a primary school subject, and that the curriculum policy in primary schools should no longer designate English as a local content or extracurricular subject, but rather as a compulsory subject which automatically adjusts learning outcomes based on student demographic characteristics. The implication of this article is that English lessons can be taught to all young learners through an eclectic approach.Keywords: English as an international language; Government policy; Indonesian setting; teaching English to young learners

Teacher feedback is useful information for EFL students’ improvement. It assists students to know their weaknesses and strengths in English learning. However, students might perceive teacher feedback differently from the teacher's intentions. This study examined students’ perceptions of their teacher feedback in English class and investigated their self-regulated learning after receiving feedback. It is a descriptive-qualitative study involving ten EFL students of the senior high school using semi-structured interview questions through online communication. Subsequently, the data were transcribed and analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis of students’ perceptions of teacher feedback and their self-regulated learning. The finding showed that the students perceived teacher feedback as positive and negative. Upon receiving teacher feedback, the students developed their self-regulated learning, such as setting goals, monitoring, self-motivating, seeking-help, adopting, and self-evaluating in English learning. This study offers implications for English teachers and educators to improve their feedback quality in English classroom assessment.

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) bertema “Pelatihan Pengembangan Bahan Ajar Kontekstual Mata Pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia SMP/MTs di Kabupaten Nganjuk” dilatarbelakangi fakta bahwa selama ini teks pembelajaran yang diajarkan pada mata pelajaran bahasa Indonesia jenjang SMP/MTs di Nganjuk tidak kontekstual. Pada saat mengajarkan teks deskripsi, misalnya, gurumenggunakan teks yang ada di dalam buku siswa, yaitu teks tentang Pantai Senggigi dan Pantai Parangtritis. Sejalan dengan fakta bahwa orang-orang yang pada akhirnya berdomisili di luar kabupaten asalnya tidak lebih dari 10%, fenomena bahan ajar yang tidak kontekstual menyebabkan siswa tidak mengenal dengan baik potensi daerahnya sehingga menemukan banyak kendala ketika akan meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan membangun daerah. Karena itu, kontekstualisasi bahan ajar dipandang penting. Sejalan dengan hal tersebut pada makalah ini dipaparkan teks deskripsi sebagai bahan ajar kontekstual yang dikaji dari segi struktur dan aspek kebahasaan. Data berupa teks deskripsi dikumpulkan dari sebelas guru yang dilatih untuk mengembangkan bahan ajar kontekstual pada 2 sampai dengan 11 Oktober 2021 melalui teknik penugasan individual. Data dianalisis dengan teknik deskriptif-eksplanatif. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa teks deskripsi yang digunakan sebagai bahan ajar kontekstual berstruktur lengkap, yaitu terdiri atas bagian identifikasi, deskripsi bagian, dan penutup dengan deskripsi bagian sebagai unsur dominan. Sebagian teks deskripsi yang tidak lengkap digunakan sebagai bahan bandingan dan sarana identifikasi bagian yang dihilangkan. Dalam hal aspek kebahasaan digunakan unsur linguistis berupa penjelasan terperinci, kata-kata beremosi kuat, dan bahasa penggambaran persuasif. Teks kontekstual dengan struktur dan aspek kebahasaan tersebut sejalan dengan tuntutan standar isi pada Kurikulum 2013 yang diberlakukan saat ini.

In the research context, Adobe Connect Pro is utilized as a discussion platform in the online class. Digital learning Platform enables providers to deliver academic programs via digital learning platforms, facilitating communication and enabling knowledge preservation, selection, and distribution. Using a qualitative study, this article investigates how Adobe Connect Pro allows teacher trainers to collaborate by offering a forum for real-time reflection and debate on student-teacher video performance, which is a natural extension of a forum.

It promotes inclusive learning by allowing anyone to learn at their own pace and schedule and freely participate in platform discussions. In conclusion, discussion forums using Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro have immense potential to push students to learn.
