Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition among senior high school students in Indonesia. Recognizing the varied learning styles, interests, and readiness levels among learners, DI offers a flexible approach tailored to individual needs. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test was employed, involving an experimental group taught using DI and a control group taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through vocabulary tests and a student engagement questionnaire. The results revealed that students in the DI group demonstrated significantly higher vocabulary mastery and greater engagement in the learning process compared to those in the control group. These findings suggest that Differentiated Instruction is a promising strategy to support vocabulary development and foster active participation in English language learning at the secondary education level.

Abstract

Differentiated Instruction (DI) is central to the Merdeka Curriculum's student-centered framework in Indonesia. Despite theoretical support, its practical implementation, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes, remains inconsistent. This qualitative case study investigates both teachers' and students' perceptions of DI in EFL classes at SMK Negeri 4 Makassar. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings reveal that teachers possess intuitive but limited understanding of DI, with partial and situational implementation. Institutional support was reported as general and inadequate, and barriers such as large class sizes and lack of resources hinder effective DI application. Students perceived the learning experience as uniform and lacking in differentiation by learning style or interest. Although supportive teacher behavior was noted, DI aspects such as content, process, product, and environment differentiation were not comprehensively applied. The study concludes with recommendations for enhanced training, infrastructure, and strategic planning to better align DI with Merdeka Curriculum goals.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PJBL) in a speaking class. As an instructional approach centered on student-driven projects, PJBL is intended to enhance learners’ engagement, communication skills, and collaborative learning experiences. The research aims to investigate how students at SMPN 2 Barombong respond to the use of PBL in terms of motivation, participation, language development, and speaking confidence. A qualitative approach was employed, using interviews with students from an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) class who had experienced PJBL-based instruction. Data will be collected through in-depth interviews, and documentations with eleventh-grade students at SMPN 2 Barombong using a qualitative research methodology. The findings indicate that students generally perceive PJBL positively, citing increased opportunities to practice speaking in authentic contexts, greater motivation, and improved teamwork skills. However, some students also reported challenges such as time management and unequal group participation. Overall, the study concludes that PBL can be an effective method to develop speaking skills, provided that it is carefully structured and facilitated. These findings offer useful insights for language educators seeking to implement learner-centered strategies in speaking classes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Inquiry-Based Learning approach in teaching expository writing at the secondary school level. A quantitative method was employed, utilizing a pre-experimental design that involved administering pre-tests and post-tests. Student essay scores obtained from pre- and post-tests were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test due to the non-normal distribution of the data. The findings showed a statistically significant improvement in writing ability, reflected in a Z-score of -4.534 and a significance level of 0.005 (p < 0.01), indicating that the Inquiry-Based Learning approach had a statistically significant impact on writing achievement. This approach has been demonstrated to promote active student engagement in exploration, problem-solving, and reflection, which significantly contributes to the enhancement of writing quality, particularly in terms of argumentation, coherence, and logical structure. These results affirm the pedagogical value of Inquiry-Based Learning in developing academic literacy skills, particularly in expository writing.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the types, perceptions, and how self-regulated learning influences students' motivation when learning vocabulary. The researcher used a qualitative descriptive method to achieve the research objectives. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Participants in this study were twelve English Language Education students in the 2023/2024 academic year, who were selected purposively. Based on the results of the study, there are seven forms of self-regulated learning that students use in learning: learning from English podcasts on YouTube, learning from watching gaming YouTube content, learning from English songs, learning from watching English films, learning from OME TV, learning by posting vocabulary lists in easily visible places, and learn by English Message. Students also have various perceptions about self-regulated learning that help maintain their motivation when learning vocabulary, namely because they feel the positive impact of implementing self-regulated learning, remember their learning process, SRL makes their learning more enjoyable, they are motivated because their learning strategies are the same as their hobbies, and they are motivated because the strategies are easy to use. So, it can be concluded that self-regulated learning acts as an effective bridge between personal interests and academic goals, changing vocabulary learning from a passive effort into an active, autonomous, sustainable, and highly motivating process.

Abstract

Differentiated Instruction is regarded as an essential approach in modern education because it allows teachers to design learning activities that align with students’ varying abilities, interests, and learning styles, resulting in a more inclusive and meaningful learning process. However, although several studies have examined its implementation, research focusing on students’ perceptions of Differentiated Instruction at the vocational high school level remains limited. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of the implementation of Differentiated Instruction, particularly in relation to learning achievement, collaboration, and motivation. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 114 students at SMK 1 Gowa. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, and were analyzed descriptively using SPSS. The findings indicate that 66.7% of students’ perceptions in the achievement aspect fall into the Very Positive category. Subsequently, 61.4% of students’ perceptions in the collaboration aspect are in the Positive category, and 60.3% of students’ perceptions in the motivation aspect also fall into the Positive category.

Abstract

Assessment plays an essential role in differentiated learning as it provides information about students' readiness, learning progress, and instructional needs. Through assessment, teachers can adjust instruction and learning activities to support diverse learners in the classroom. In English language teaching, assessment is expected to function as an integral part of the learning process rather than merely as a tool for measuring outcomes. This study aims to explore the implementation of differentiated learning assessment in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, focusing specifically on diagnostic and formative assessment practices. A qualitative case study design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of these practices. The study was conducted at SMAN 2 Makassar in October 2025, involving one English teacher selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Findings indicate that the teacher implemented diagnostic assessment at the beginning of the semester to identify students' initial abilities and employed continuous formative assessment to monitor learning progress and provide feedback. Key formative practices included real-time corrective feedback, consultation mechanisms during writing tasks, peer and self-assessment activities, and sequentially organized learning activities that supported progressive skill development. Student perceptions, gathered through questionnaires, were generally positive, with the majority appreciating teacher feedback, valuing sequential learning progression, and finding diagnostic assessment helpful for understanding their strengths and weaknesses. However, implementation of differentiated assessment remained limited in certain areas, particularly in task variation, the use of diverse assessment instruments, and systematic attention to students' interests and learning profiles. The study concludes that while principles of assessment for learning have been applied, further professional development is needed to strengthen differentiated assessment practices in responding to students' diverse learning needs, particularly in expanding beyond readiness-based differentiation to address the full spectrum of student characteristics.
