This study explored the pre-service teachers (PSTs) professional identity construction during their teacher education training at a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. It particularly investigated their understanding of the teaching profession and their professional identity, guided by two research questions: 1) what have been the influential aspects of the Indonesian pre-service teachers’ investment in the teaching profession? and 2) what professional identities do the PSTs (re)construct during their teacher education training? A qualitative case study was adopted as the design of this study. Data of this study were collected using an open-ended questionnaire and in-depth semi-structured interviews. Participants of this study are eleven PSTs of a private university in Central Java. The obtained data were analyzed by using the theoretical grounding of situated learning, professional identity, and investments. An interpretive approach and thematic analysis were adopted in coding and analyzing the PSTs’ open-ended questionnaire responses and narrative accounts obtained from the interviews. It is found that most aspects of PSTs’ construction of professional identity are their continuous learning participation and contemplation during their training in the English teacher education (ETE) program and their dynamic inner dialogue with their two selves (i.e. the student-self and the teacher-self) during the teaching practicum at school. These influential aspects lead to the emerging professional identity of the PSTs as caring, motivational, pleasant, and empathetic teachers. This result implies the need to emphasize the acquisition of teacher identity and reflective teaching at the heart of teacher education.

Studies in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) often focus on researching English needs in the context of commercial tourist attraction areas. Little research has been done in addressing the English needs of community-based tourism (CBT). This study aims to investigate the English needs, specifically the English communicative skills of tourist guides on Untung Jawa island. The investigation is a mixed-method study. Data was collected using a survey questionnaire, interviews, and observation (job shadowing). Twenty-two (22) participants responded to the questionnaire and two tourist guides were interviewed. Job shadowing was also conducted with two tourist guides to record the communicative functions often used in their professional practice. Findings indicated that spoken English communicative function was not an immediate need for the tourist guides considering the little encounter with international tourists. There are some indications that written form of English may be needed in their tourist area. The results imply that the tourist guide needs scripted text that they can use in specific communicative events.

This study examines the use of technology for self-directed learning in accomplishing English writing tasks by Indonesian EFL students. The study are guided by two research questions: 1) How did university students use technologies to accomplish their academic English writing tasks?; 2) How did the use of technologies support university students’ self-directed learning (SDL)?A mixed-method approach was adopted in investigating these issues. Data were collected using questionnaire and in-depth interviews. The participants were students from three universities in Banten, South Jakarta, and Central Java. There were 51 students who filled out the questionnaire and only 13 of them were willing to be interviewed. The findings revealed that the majority of students used online apps to assist them in the process of drafting and editing their English writing tasks. The data indicate that knowledge on these online apps and how to utilize them are able to maintain their SDL in accomplishing their writing tasks. Their SDL is mostly influenced by their drive to obtain academic achievement. The findings also show that trainings on some technical skills and knowledge on editing apps are needed to maximize the students’ use of technology for their SDL.

This study explores the attitudes and valorization of languages among Indonesian engineering students at Cendikia Abditama University. Employing a qualitative research design, the study gathered data from 70 students through questionnaires, supplemented by in-depth interviews with 10 participants to gain richer perspectives. A descriptive analytical approach was used to interpret the findings, revealing a predominantly positive attitude toward English, Indonesian, and heritage languages. This demonstrates a nuanced balance between cultural pride, national identity, and the global opportunities associated with these languages. The research highlights that while many students value all three languages equally, others exhibit a preference for one language over the others, depending on their immediate academic, professional, or personal aspirations. These variations reflect the dynamic interplay between cultural heritage and global competitiveness in shaping language attitudes. The findings underline the critical role of educational policies in supporting linguistic diversity and fostering inclusive learning environments. By integrating students’ linguistic backgrounds into educational curricula, institutions can enhance learning experiences and promote multilingual competence. Such approaches can help prepare students for the challenges of a globalized world while maintaining their cultural roots, thereby contributing to more comprehensive and meaningful educational practices. This study emphasizes the significance of aligning language education with students' diverse needs and aspirations.

ABSTRACTThis article reports one part of a larger study, exploring the global and local English needs in nine secondary level schools in several Indonesian contexts (i.e. Sumatera, Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara). The study investigates: 1) teachers and students perceived understanding of the existence of English in their local contexts; 2) opinions of their current local and global needs of English in today’s globalized era; and 3) their opinion on the teaching and learning of English. Data were collected from questionnaires and interviews. The results show that students in different contexts have slightly different views and perceptions of English use and how it needs to be learned and taught for their current and future needs of English. Although slightly different in their perceptions of needs, there seems to be a coordinated understanding of English needs between the students and teachers. The findings also indicate that there is a growing awareness of the need to teach the communicative aspects of English in relation to students’ activities online. Therefore, the teaching of English needs to be conducted by providing more English exposure, integrating blended learning, adopting English for Specific Purposes approach, and teaching pragmatics knowledge and intercultural skills.

Decision-making is the fundamental teaching skill that is enacted in practice. The exploration of pedagogical decision-making by teachers in remote instructional settings offers valuable theoretical insights and practical contributions to the field of English Language Teaching (ELT). Thus, this study was aimed at exploring pedagogical decisions teachers make in their remote teaching practices. A qualitative, exploratory approach was employed, and virtual observation through Zoom Meeting or Google Meet served as the main data collection instrument. Five lecturers from five different private universities in West Java, Indonesia participated in this study, a sample size consistent with the in-depth, interpretive nature of qualitative inquiry. Observation notes and video transcripts were analysed using grounded theory through three coding stages. The study revealed that the majority of instructional decisions were strategically oriented toward maintaining student engagement and promoting seamless lesson progression. Translanguaging was dominant and employed by all participants. Among five decision types (rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous), spontaneous decision-making emerged as the most commonly utilized, in contrast to dependent and avoidant decisions, which occurred with considerably lower frequency. These findings contribute theoretically to the understanding of teacher cognition in digital contexts and practically to the preparation of teachers for responsive, reflective decision-making in remote ELT.
