Abstract

This study aims to identify the challenges faced by an English teacher and the strategies used to overcome them at MA NWDI Lepak, recognized as the best school in a rural area of East Lombok. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research explored the teacher’s real experiences through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed three major challenges in English teaching: low student motivation, varied levels of language proficiency, and limited learning facilities. To address these, the teacher implemented adaptive strategies such as brainstorming, elicitation, scaffolding, group learning, differentiated support, and delayed error correction. These approaches demonstrated creativity and student-centered teaching that fostered learning despite infrastructural constraints. The study concludes that the success of English teaching in rural schools depends not on advanced facilities but on the teacher’s creativity, innovation, and adaptability, and recommends that rural teacher development programs emphasize context-based pedagogical training to enhance effective, communicative, and contextualized English instruction.

Abstract

This study explores the similarities between descriptive texts written by second-semester English education students at Hamzanwadi University and a text generated by ChatGPT in response to the same writing prompt. Using a qualitative descriptive method, seven student texts selected from fifteen submissions and one AI-generated text were analyzed with the IELTS Writing Band Descriptors, focusing on Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. The findings indicate that both texts shared similarities in addressing the task, maintaining coherence, using descriptive vocabulary, and applying varied sentence structures, although the AI-generated text demonstrated greater lexical variety and fewer grammatical errors. These results suggest that AI-generated writing can serve as a supplementary model for students in developing descriptive writing skills, while teacher guidance remains crucial to ensure critical and effective use of AI tools.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the factors contributing to students’ speaking anxiety during English dialog practice in the eighth grade of SMPN 3 Masbagik in the academic year 2025-2026. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, using observation, interviews, and questionnaires as the main instruments of data collection. The findings revealed that students experienced two types of anxiety: state anxiety and trait anxiety. State anxiety appeared in specific classroom situations, particularly when students were asked to perform dialog practice, with symptoms such as trembling hands, shaky voices, forgetting lines, and excessive sweating. Meanwhile, trait anxiety was more consistent and related to limited vocabulary, grammatical inaccuracy, and lack of confidence. The main factors that triggered speaking anxiety included limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, pronunciation difficulties, and fear of negative evaluation. To cope with these challenges, students applied several strategies such as repeated practice, relaxation techniques, positive self-talk, preparing vocabulary/grammar, and seeking peer support. The study concludes that students’ speaking anxiety is a multidimensional issue influenced by both linguistic and psychological factors, requiring efforts from both teachers and students to foster a more supportive learning environment.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between vocabulary mastery and reading ability among eleventh-grade students at MA Ar-Raufiyah Lendang Jaran, East Lombok. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the research sought to determine the degree of association between the two variables without manipulation. The sample consisted of 20 students, selected through purposive sampling based on their active participation in English classes. Data were gathered using two instruments: a vocabulary mastery test and a reading comprehension test, both validated for reliability with a coefficient value of 0.789. The data were analyzed statistically using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results revealed a strong and significant positive correlation (r = 0.789, p < 0.05) between students’ vocabulary mastery and their reading ability. This finding indicates that students with a higher level of vocabulary mastery tend to achieve better comprehension in English reading tasks. The study highlights the importance of integrating vocabulary instruction into reading activities to improve students’ overall English proficiency.

Abstract

This study investigated English teachers' beliefs and practices related to literacy teaching in the context of Indonesian education. The primary aim was to understand how teachers' conceptions of literacy are reflected in their classroom teaching practices, as well as to identify factors that influence the alignment or misalignment between beliefs and implementation. This study employed a convergent parallel mixed methods design involving 52 respondents who were recruited simultaneously in August–September 2025 through a Google Form. Quantitative data were analysed using Spearman's rho correlation test, while qualitative data were analysed thematically. The correlation test results showed that the four dimensions (linguistic, cognitive, social, and development) of teacher literacy were positively and significantly interrelated, with the highest correlation between the cognitive and developmental dimensions (r = 0.706), indicating that strong conceptual understanding greatly contributes to classroom practice. Qualitatively, teachers have integrated reading, writing, and speaking, but face the main challenges of low student reading interest and limited basic vocabulary. It is concluded that teacher literacy was a complex construct, where teachers' beliefs are often hampered by contextual constraints in the field. The implications of this study emphasize the need for institutional support and professional training to increase student motivation and provide relevant learning resources.

Abstract

Corpus linguistics has emerged as a powerful framework for analyzing authentic language use, shaping both theoretical and applied linguistics. Grounded in Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory (Rogers, 2003)[1], this study views corpus-based pedagogy as an educational innovation whose adoption varies across contexts. While globally corpus research has gained momentum in English language teaching and teacher training, its application in Indonesia remains modest and underexplored. This study aims to map the publication trends, thematic clusters, and collaboration networks in corpus-based educational research from both global and Indonesian perspectives using a bibliometric approach. It employed a bibliometric research design using the Scopus database to map publication trends, thematic clusters, and collaboration networks in corpus-based educational research. Data covering 1990-2024 were analyzed through VOS viewer, focusing on co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence to identify global trajectories and Indonesian contributions. The analysis of 810 publications revealed rapid global growth after 2010, with peaks in 2023, particularly in areas such as vocabulary acquisition, grammar instruction, and discourse analysis. Corpus linguistics remains the central theme, branching into sub-fields like data-driven learning (DDL), academic writing, and second language acquisition. In contrast, Indonesian contributions were limited to four Scopus-indexed articles up to 2025, largely descriptive and with minimal pedagogical focus. Corpus-based research has become central in global applied linguistics but is still at an early adoption stage in Indonesia. The disparity highlights infrastructural, awareness, and visibility gaps. Stronger institutional support, integration into teacher education, and classroom-based research are essential for Indonesia to align with global trends.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the strategies used by students at SDI NW Anak Dui, Kesik, in mastering English vocabulary, and to explore the factors that influence their selection of these strategies. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, chosen to gain an in-depth understanding of the vocabulary learning behaviors of elementary school learners within their natural classroom setting. Data were collected through a structured multiple-choice questionnaire consisting of twelve items, distributed to twenty students who were selected through purposive sampling during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution and presented in percentages, then interpreted descriptively through the lens of vocabulary learning strategy (VLS) theory. The findings reveal that students at SDI NW Anak Dui employ a diverse range of vocabulary learning strategies. Twenty-five percent rely on reading books, articles, or newspapers; twenty-five percent prefer auditory media such as music and podcasts; twenty percent watch English films and television programs; twenty percent use flashcards; while five percent practice with peers and another five percent infer meaning from context. The selection of strategies is shaped by personal learning style (40%), teacher recommendations (20%), availability of learning resources (20%), time availability (10%), and vocabulary difficulty (10%). Motivation, teacher guidance, and peer influence emerged as significant social-affective factors. The study highlights the importance of designing multimodal vocabulary instruction tailored to learners' cognitive preferences and contextual conditions at the elementary level.
