Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates how EFL teachers and students collaboratively enact Exploratory Practice (EP) principles in intensive reading instruction at an Indonesian university. Drawing on classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and reflective journals, the research explores the pedagogical integration of EP’s seven key principles, including puzzle-posing, mutual development, and reflective inquiry. Findings reveal that EP transforms the reading classroom into a space for shared exploration, where both teachers and learners co-construct meaning, deepen engagement with texts, and foster a supportive learning community. Teachers shifted from delivering fixed content to facilitating dialogic discussions around learner puzzles, while students became more reflective and agentive in their reading practices. The enactment of EP led to improved teacher-student relationships, enhanced metacognition, and greater emotional investment in learning. However, challenges emerged, including time constraints, discomfort with open-ended inquiry, and misalignment with standardized assessments. Despite these tensions, the study underscores the potential of EP to humanize reading instruction by centering learner voice, inquiry, and well-being. This research contributes to the growing literature on practitioner research in language education, offering insights into the enactment of EP in skill-specific domains and advocating for more inclusive, inquiry-driven pedagogy in EFL contexts.

Abstract

A genre-based approach is argued to be effective in developing students’ academic writing ability, but feedback provision remains a challenge. Studies on GenAI feedback have shown that GenAI tools can provide students with immediate, personalized feedback. However, a few studies have investigated the impact of integrating GenAI feedback into a genre-based approach. To fill this gap, this study integrated GenAI feedback into a process-genre approach (PGA) to teaching exposition, which is an academic genre. Focusing on students’ interpersonal lexicogrammatical developmental trajectory, this study employed a single-case study design. Data were collected from 15 EFL (English as a foreign language) undergraduate students' drafts (diagnostic writing test, four successive drafts, and final writing test). Students’ texts were scored using an SFL-informed rubric. The developmental trajectory was analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA, along with the SFL mood, modality, and appraisal systems. The results indicated a statistically significant increment in students’ interpersonal grammar, F(2.85, 39.92) = 33.56, p < .001, ηp2 = .706, though a slight drop in the final writing test was observed. This study concludes that PGA with GenAI feedback could facilitate students’ interpersonal lexicogrammar, but students still needed learning and writing support from the teacher. The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the PGA with GenAI feedback in teaching exposition.
