Abstract

All around the world, colleges and universities have serious concerns about academic writing. All university and college students, especially those studying English as a second language (EFL), need to generate various textual forms for their academic education. Higher education students who do not communicate English as their native language encounter many linguistic, discursive, and cognitive difficulties when there is an educational requirement to publish academic writing in a reputable international journal. They suffer enormous barriers concerning their viewpoints as well. The purpose of this study is to investigate the particular writing experiences employed by graduate students in the English education program and assess how these practices influence their thesis and other scholarly publications. This research followed Barkhuizen et al.’s (2013) narrative inquiry paradigm. Through WhatsApp, the students engaged in several lengthy semi-structured interviews that were continued by such focus group discussions. We scrutinized and looked at their scholarly articles and theses in these dialogic interactions for two months, among other forms of English scholarly work. This research revealed that participants encountered conflict and tensions in their writing practices, particularly within specialties that require critical and suitable attention. Conjectured narratives of personal encounters in this research would be utilized as a guidance document to help evaluate students' English academic writing habits to meet their intended results. This has ramifications for how English research and educational writing is understood.

Abstract

Learning is not only done in the classroom but also outside the classroom through game media. This study focuses on the effect of vocabulary knowledge from massively multiplayer online role-playing games on students' willingness to communicate. The subjects of this research are three EFL learners who play MMORPG games. This study uses a biographical narrative inquiry method and collects data through semi-structured interviews and artefacts. EFL learners were assigned to share their experiences playing MMORPGs related to vocabulary knowledge and the desire to communicate. The data is analysed using thematic analysis. The findings highlight the positive impact of vocabulary knowledge on participants' self-confidence and pronunciation skills. A solid grasp of game-related vocabulary increases participants' self-confidence, making them more comfortable engaging in conversations and less afraid of making mistakes. It also improves pronunciation skills, as participants better understand word pronunciation through in-game interactions. Through collaboration among teachers, institutions, and parents, using MMORPGs as a learning tool is expected to provide maximum benefits for students in improving their English communication skills.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of the "Guru Penggerak" program (PGP), a key component of Indonesia's "Merdeka Belajar" educational initiative, on the professional development of in-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers. Focusing on three EFL teachers who participated in PGP, the research examines the development of self-esteem and task perception during the training. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, narrative frames, and examination of relevant artefacts. Results indicate that PGP effectively aids teachers in understanding and implementing the Merdeka curriculum, enhancing their self-esteem and task perception. Specifically, the study identifies two indicators of improved self-esteem: enhanced understanding of curriculum implementation and engagement in professional learning communities. Similarly, two indicators of enhanced task perception were noted: improved job performance and effective utilization of training modules in teaching. Additionally, the study highlights challenges faced by participants, including shifts in teaching beliefs, increased workload, and perceptions of their role in the program. These insights suggest avenues for refining in-service teacher training programs to better support EFL teachers' professional growth.

Abstract

Effective teaching relies heavily on solid communication and meaningful interaction between teachers and students. These elements create an environment where students are more engaged and motivated, leading to better learning outcomes. One way to enhance this interaction is through Creative Problem-Solving (CPS), which incorporates creativity into the teaching process. CPS encourages students to think imaginatively, collaborate, and apply knowledge dynamically, fostering a more engaging and interactive classroom environment. This study aims to investigate how Creative Problem-Solving (CPS) facilitates teacher-student interaction patterns by applying the Initiation-Response-Feedback (IRF) theory in an EFL classroom at a state university in Indonesia. The study involved 46 pre-service teachers, six males and 40 females, all fifth-semester undergraduate students enrolled in the Curriculum and Material Development course. Data collection methods included deep interviews and classroom observations. The research revealed that pre-service teachers faced challenges with CPS projects, especially those involving telecollaboration. However, they valued the lecturer's guidance and feedback, which played a crucial role in helping them overcome these difficulties and complete the tasks. Thus, to maximize the benefits of CPS, lecturers must provide a clear understanding of CPS principles, as it is a relatively new approach for many pre-service teachers. Additionally, encouraging pre-service teachers to seek guidance and actively engage in collaborative activities can enhance their critical thinking and overall learning experience.

Abstract

The digital shift in education requires readiness among school members to manage the challenges of organizational change. This study investigates the technological readiness of junior high schools in Indonesia from teachers' perspective, using Weiner's (2009) theory of organizational readiness for change, and examines students' readiness for digital learning. Participants included teachers and students from four junior high schools in Boyolali, Central Java, selected through convenience sampling with a 95% confidence level (0.05). Descriptive statistical analysis indicated a positive readiness for digital transformation (mean = 3.74). The study found that only the Valence of Change factor had a statistically significant correlation with schools' readiness for digital shift. Furthermore, respondents showed a positive attitude toward digital learning, with no significant gender differences in students' perceptions and use of digital tools. These findings offer valuable insights for educators, researchers, and school administrators in driving digital transformation in education. The study recommends integrating digital learning into the curriculum to boost student engagement and interest.

Abstract

Junior high school students learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in countries where English is neither the first nor the second language face significant challenges in acquiring vocabulary due to the infrequent use of English outside the classroom and monotonous teaching techniques. However, in the digital era, innovative educational tools like Digital Flashcard-based gamification offer an interactive and engaging solution. This study aims to understand junior high school EFL students' perceptions of learning English vocabulary through gamification using Digital Flashcards. The research was conducted as Classroom Action Research (CAR) and involved 32 junior high school students in Madiun District, Indonesia, learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Over eight meetings, these students engaged in learning animal-related vocabulary using Digital Flashcard-based gamification. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test and interviews to gather students' perceptions of the learning experience. The results indicate that students' vocabulary mastery significantly improved after using gamification-based Digital Flashcards, with an average increase of 15 points. The pre-test average score was 60, which increased to 75 in the post-test. The gamification elements (story, mechanics, aesthetics, and technology) enhanced students' exposure, attention, and enthusiasm during learning. Vocabulary mastery was effectively facilitated through diverse gamified activities. This study demonstrates that incorporating Digital Flashcards in a gamified format is an effective tool for improving vocabulary learning among EFL students.

Abstract

In the twenty-first century, educators must have competency in technology integration in language classrooms for language learning, which should receive much attention in teacher training programs and professional development. Furthermore, integrating digital multimodal composing into English language teaching through digital storytelling books might assist teachers in building their technological abilities. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the pre-service teachers' experiences in designing digital storytelling books with digital multimodal composing frameworks. The present study adopted narrative inquiry to elucidate pre-service teachers' experiences designing digital storytelling books with multimodal composing framework. This study highlights the experiences of four postgraduate students as pre-service EFL teachers in designing digital books as teaching media. According to the findings, pre-service teachers employ the critical, creative, and technical domains as phases in creating digital storytelling books, which include information from written reflections and interviews. Further research needs to examine the teacher's perceptions of designing digital books as teaching media in real class and students' perceptions when using books designed by the teacher.

Abstract

Despite the mandatory inclusion of English in higher education, the limited credit hours and students’ varying proficiency levels pose challenges to achieving English language teaching goals. CSR offers a structured approach to enhance reading comprehension through its four stages. While numerous studies have explored CSR’s effectiveness, its application in higher education remains under-researched, particularly for TOEFL preparation. This qualitative study involved three female instructors of a TOEFL preparation course in an Islamic state university which were chosen by convenience sampling. It employs in-depth interviews to examine their beliefs in teaching using CSR for non-English major students in a TOEFL preparation course. The data were analyzed thematically by using deductive coding. The findings revealed that instructors consciously believe in the benefits of CSR for TOEFL preparation. Their beliefs are largely relevant to the theory of CSR, with collaborative learning as a core value and combined with personalized learning to create a positive learning environment that supports students' reading comprehension and readiness for TOEFL preparation. The result of this can inform instructional strategies and enhance students' reading comprehension abilities for standardized testing and other assessments, particularly in higher education contexts. Future research may continue to explore the nuances of CSR implementation within a larger scope and more diverse sample to enhance generalizability, or incorporate a mixed-method approach to provide a more holistic view of CSR among educators and students.
