Abstract

Many studies have explored various strategies and approaches to facilitate students’ learning to write in English. However, few studies investigated the potential use of localized, familiar, and more personalized topics to develop students’ English writing skills. Considering Krashen’s comprehensible input hypothesis and Piaget’s constructivist approach, this study aimed to explore whether topics about Islam can better facilitate students' learning to write in English in Indonesian Islamic colleges. A mixed method design, qualitative method through interviews with seven English writing lecturers from four Islamic colleges in Indonesia, and quantitative method using a student survey, which was responded to by 100 students, became the source of data. The findings informed that a process-oriented approach, positive feedback, and freedom of and familiarity with topics were the main contributing factors to students' English writing development. The salient findings suggested that careful consideration of topic selection and vocabulary familiarity should be made when assigning writing tasks using topics about Islam in Islamic colleges.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic impacted Indonesia's education system to change the teaching and learning activities rapidly. Edmodo is one of the Learning Management System (LMS) platforms widely used for English teaching and learning in Indonesia. Previous studies about Edmodo focus on the positive impact of Edmodo on the student's competence and performance. However, few studies discuss the pitfalls of Edmodo in EFL settings. A survey design was employed through the administration of the questionnaire. This survey research aims to investigate the strengths and the pitfalls of Edmodo to Indonesian EFL learners, particularly in the university context. Fifteen university students and ten lecturers were involved in the survey. The study results indicate that students and teachers have the same opinion about the strengths of Edmodo in terms of practicality and efficiency. However, a different opinion occurs on the use of Edmodo to complement face-to-face activity. Some teachers agree that Edmodo could not facilitate collaborative learning, but some lecturers said it was possible to do collaborative learning. Furthermore, students and teachers stated that the weaknesses of Edmodo need a good internet connection, especially for the quiz. This research, therefore, contributes some empirical insights into the use of Edmodo in English language teaching.

Abstract

This qualitative case study examines the readiness of five Madrasas to develop collaborative English teaching modules within an independent curriculum framework. These Madrasas were selected for their exemplary practices and potential to serve as models. Through appreciative interviews and asset discovery, we assessed readiness in critical areas: working conditions, teacher-student relationships, teacher qualifications, ICT readiness, and in-service training. The findings reveal a positive work culture characterized by post-training knowledge dissemination and collaborative learning plan sharing. Teacher-student solid relationships further support academic success, as demonstrated by student achievements in various competitions. Teacher qualifications are robust, with many possessing advanced degrees and engaging in continuous professional development. The readiness of these Madrasas is underscored by their ability to leverage past experiences, such as those from the USAID PRIORITAS initiative. The study highlights the significant readiness of these Madrasas to develop and implement independent curriculum teaching modules.
