Abstract

This study aims to explore how Social-Emotional Learning is integrated into English Language Teaching by examining teachers’ perspectives, pedagogical practices, and implementation challenges, and to provide pedagogical implications for enhancing ELT practices, focusing on the Indonesian context of Kota Langsa, Aceh. Using a mixed-methods design, the research employed 50 questionnaires containing 30 items to gather quantitative data and conducted 12 in-depth interviews to collect qualitative insights. The study involved 50 English teachers from junior and senior high schools in Kota Langsa, Indonesia, representing public, private, and Islamic boarding schools. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including independent-samples t-tests, with SPSS. Qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. Integration of both strands enabled triangulation, generating findings that were both statistically grounded and contextually rich. Results indicated that while teachers demonstrated high awareness of SEL benefits (M = 4.32, SD = 0.45), their classroom practice remained moderate (M = 3.65, SD = 0.52), revealing a significant awareness-practice gap. Institutional constraints, limited training, and cultural issues were identified as major barriers, with public school teachers reporting more systemic challenges than private school teachers (p = 0.003, Cohen’s d = 0.88). Qualitative findings highlighted culturally responsive practices, such as integrating Islamic narratives, alongside the need for institutional support. The study concludes by recommending localized strategies and systematic training to bridge the gap between SEL awareness and classroom implementation.

Abstract

This study analyzes toxic jealousy and its destructive impact on the collapse of rationality in William Shakespeare’s Othello. The objective of this study is to explain how jealousy gradually destroys Othello’s emotional stability, trust, and rational judgment throughout the play. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method using a psychological approach to literary criticism to examine psychological dimensions represented through literary characters and emotional experiences. The data were collected from dialogues, actions, and character expressions in the play, particularly those related to Othello’s emotional transformation. The findings revealed that Othello’s toxic jealousy did not emerge suddenly but developed through interconnected psychological factors involving emotional vulnerability, psychological instability, and external manipulation. These factors gradually intensified Othello’s insecurity and suspicion toward Desdemona, resulting in obsessive suspicion, distorted judgment, and the collapse of rationality. Consequently, Othello experienced psychological deterioration that ultimately led him toward tragic action and self-destruction. This study concludes that Shakespeare portrays jealousy as a destructive psychological force capable of influencing perception, behavior, and moral judgment. Furthermore, this study contributes to psychological literary studies by emphasizing toxic jealousy as a central factor influencing Othello’s psychological transformation and tragic downfall.

Abstract

This study aimed to find out the effect of using authentic materials in learning English, especially for reading comprehension. Besides, the students’ motivation in reading was also explored. This study employed a quantitative experimental design using a one-group pre-test/post-test approach. The population consisted of 11 first-grade classes at a senior high school in Langsa. One class of 25 students was selected through purposive sampling as the sample. A reading test in the form of multiple choices and a student response questionnaire were administered to collect the data. The results showed that there is a good improvement in students’ reading comprehension. This finding is supported by the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. Students’ average scores improved from 56.8 (pre-test) to 80.8 (post-test), surpassing the minimum competency standard. Students also reported increased interest, motivation, and vocabulary acquisition when using authentic materials. Findings suggest that authentic materials can enhance reading comprehension and student motivation. This study contributes to EFL pedagogy by demonstrating the effectiveness of authentic materials in improving reading comprehension and motivation. However, the study was limited to one class and may not generalize to broader populations.
