Kegiatan pengembangan profesionalisme guru menjadi kegiatan wajib bagi semua guru untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mereka secara berkala. Kegiatan yang diadakan secara daring dan berupa rangkaian kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan sejawat belum banyak dilaksanakan. Kegiatan pelatihan yang biasanya hanya sekali dilakukan tanpa kegiatan lanjutan hanya meningkatkan pengetahuan guru, tetapi tidak memberi mereka kesempatan untuk mengimplementasikan pengetahuan baru ini di kelas mereka masing-masing. Kegiatan pengembangan profesionalisme guru yang dilaksanakan sebagai kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat selama lebih kurang satu bulan ini berpotensi untuk membantu guru merefleksi dan berkolaborasi dengan guru sejawat mereka di sekolah yang sama sehingga mereka dapat lebih percaya diri dalam mengimplementasikan pengetahuan baru mereka. Kendala teknis maupun kurangnya komitmen guru untuk mengikuti kegiatan ini secara utuh terjadi dalam program ini. Dampak nyata dari rangkaian kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan ini belum dapat dirasakan dalam jangka pendek, akan tetapi dengan dibukanya peluang untuk para guru membentuk komunitas belajar diantara sejawat mereka, diharapkan mereka dapat saling memberikan dukungan baik secara pengalaman maupun emosi. Kata kunci—Pendampingan sejawat, Pengembangan profesionalisme guru, Guru Bahasa Inggris SMP Abstract Teacher professional development activities are mandatory activities for all teachers to improve their knowledge and skills regularly. Activities held online and in a series of training activities, and peer coaching have not been widely implemented. Training activities usually carried out only once without follow-up activities only increase teachers' knowledge but do not allow them to implement the newly acquired knowledge in their language classes. The reported teacher professional development program, carried out as a community service activity for approximately one month, can help teachers reflect on their teaching and collaborate with their peer teachers at the same school so that they can be more confident in implementing new knowledge. Technical obstacles and lack of commitment of teachers to participate in this activity as a whole occurred in this program. The real impact of this series of training and coaching activities cannot be observed in the short term, but with the opening of opportunities for teachers to form learning communities in their own school and collaborate among their peers, it is hoped that they can provide mutual support both experientially and emotionally.

The present study aimed at exploring strategies applied and the problems test-takers faced before, during, and after working on an integrated reading-listening-writing (IRLW) task. This narrative inquiry research employed 23 students taking a TOEFL iBT test in the Indonesian context using the purposive sampling technique. The respondents answered a questionnaire and written questions related to the problems they faced during the test and their strategies to solve the problems. The test-takers’ responses from the interview were used to confirm the data from the responses to written questions. The researchers used an in-depth interview protocol to explore the test-takers’ strategies to solve the problems they faced when doing the test. The interview process was conducted right after they finished the test. The data from the questionnaire, written questions, and interviews were further analyzed descriptively. The findings showed that the test-takers encountered internal and external problems in completing the IRLW of the TOEFL iBT test. They used different integrated writing strategies, depending on their learning styles, cognitive levels, experiences, abilities, levels of anxiety of each test-taker, and the environment of the test. The affective, cognitive, metacognitive, and test-wiseness strategies were all used in their own way to solve their problems. It implies that future test-takers need to learn and apply all positive strategies based on their learning styles. English teachers, therefore, should teach positive strategies of IRLW because students might not know the importance of the strategies and how to use them in the test.

This research study aimed at revealing the strategies employed by successful English as a Foreign Language (EFL) doctoral candidates in accomplishing their dissertation writing and their perspectives in association with the stages of research report writing. This is a narrative qualitative inquiry, and the data were collected through an in-depth interview with ten successful EFL fresh graduates who had completed their dissertation writing within six and seven semesters. Using a retrospective technique, the respondents were asked to recall their experiences and activities during the process of writing their dissertation. The results reveal that the successful doctoral candidates used four main strategies of dissertation writing: cognitive, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies. In completing each of the dissertation stages, the doctoral candidates spent much time reading a huge collection of research articles, writing their dissertation on a daily basis, and having intensive consultation with their advisors. This study would be useful for EFL doctoral students to avoid delay in completing their studies and to meet their academic timeline so that they can face their challenging dissertation writing to complete their study on time.

Writing requires a complex skill, and thus students need to regulate themselves in employing the appropriate strategies to achieve good writing performance. The present research investigated Self-Regulated Writing (SRW) strategies used by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) university students. It contrasted the students' strategies related to the complex structure of the texts (i.e., paragraphs and essays) and students’ writing performance. The data information came from two separate sets of self-regulated learning strategy questionnaire, as well as writing outcomes of the students. Descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U test were utilized to evaluate the data. The six dimensions of SRW strategies were extensively utilized in paragraph and essay writings. The six dimensions include motive, method, time, performance, physical environment, and social environment. Interestingly, the social environment dimension had the highest mean score, showing that the students needed assistance from their peers and available learning resources. Meanwhile, the motive dimension obtained the lowest mean in both paragraph and essay writings. Furthermore, the analysis showed no significant statistical difference in using SRW strategies in writing paragraphs and essays except in the method dimension. The difference in strategy use based on achievement was also not significant. The results indicate that the students applied similar SRW strategies in paragraph and essay writings regardless of their proficiency levels. Pedagogical implications and recommendations for future research are also further discussed in the article.

To meet the demand for effective content integration in summative listening tests for English Specific Purpose classes catering to Government Science majors, this development project aims to create an engaging and immersive listening test. Drawing on the TOEIC-based framework, the test incorporates government science content as the thematic foundation of the questions. The development process comprises three key stages: exploration, development, and preliminary field testing. The test product was rigorously validated through expert assessment and a try-out test involving 50 students was conducted for preliminary field testing. The try-out test demonstrated a high reliability coefficient of 0.828. It encompasses 50 listening questions, spanning four sections: Photograph (10 questions), Questions-responses (16 questions), Conversation (12 questions), and Talks (12 questions). By seamlessly blending language proficiency with scientific knowledge, this innovative approach promises to enhance learning outcomes and bridge the gap between language acquisition and subject-specific competence for Government Science students. Based on the positive results obtained from the preliminary field testing and the validation process, it is recommended that the integrated TOEIC-based listening test be implemented in English Specific Purpose classes for Government Science majors.
