Abstract

Abstract The strategy of collaborative writing as a means of increasing the success of learning English has been widely studied. Most of the research on the two strategies aforementioned emphasized more on the perspective of students and teachers using conventional methods. However, research on how to use collaborative writing strategies and feedback using Google Docs is least investigated. Therefore, this article aims to describe the process of implementing English language learning through collaborative writing training for Senior High School teachers in Surabaya by using Google Docs application. This training was conducted by English Department of the University of Adi Buana Surabaya in collaboration with MGMP (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran) Bahasa Inggris or English Teacher Working Group as a part of community service. It is held online and was attended by 65 participants for three days. The data were obtained from the survey, language teachers’ reflections, as well as interview and analysed using content analysis. The results of the data analysis show that in addition to increasing teacher knowledge about the two learning strategies – collaborative writing and corrective feedback, the teachers also get hands-on experience applying these learning strategies with the help of technology applications on Google. Moreover, the collaborative writing and corrective feedback learning strategy through Google Docs provides new nuances in learning English and help motivates teachers to write in groups which in turn can increase interest in publication as part of increasing teacher professionalism.Keywords: learning strategy; collaborative writing; synchronous corrective feedback; Google Docs

Abstract

Research on the Kampus Mengajar program has revealed challenges for teachers, particularly in advancing their professional development. However, other studies suggest that the program holds the potential for a significant positive impact on teacher professional growth. This study explores how the Kampus Mengajar program contributes to the professional development of pre-service teachers, focusing on their perspectives and experiences. This narrative case study involved four pre-service teachers from a private university in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data were collected through reflective notes and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis deductively to explore prominent themes. The findings indicate that the Kampus Mengajar program supports pre-service teachers' professionalism by enhancing their pedagogical knowledge, teaching skills, and problem-solving abilities. Participants appreciated the program for boosting their self-efficacy and helping them master the 4C skills: critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. This study underscores the value of teaching practicums in fostering future teachers' professionalism.

Abstract

This research explores the role of e-portfolios in enhancing reflective practice and language proficiency among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. E-portfolios provide a structured platform for students to document learning artifacts, engage in self-reflection, and monitor progress, fostering deeper insights into their language development. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of e-portfolios in improving learning outcomes and identify challenges in their implementation. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 161 EFL students and teachers in East Java, Indonesia, through online questionnaires and Likert-scale assessments. Findings reveal that 74.6% of students had positive experiences with e-portfolios, with 70% noting improved language competency through regular reflection. Teachers (85%) viewed e-portfolios as valuable for tracking progress and engagement, though some lacked training. Key challenges included time management (60%) and varying student confidence levels in reflection (42.9%). Best practices for effective implementation include teacher professional development, curriculum integration, peer collaboration, and structured feedback. The study highlights e-portfolios' potential to transform EFL education but notes limitations due to its regional sample. Implications suggest broader adoption of e-portfolios, supported by training and policy frameworks, to enhance reflective learning and language proficiency in diverse EFL contexts.

Abstract

This phenomenological case study explores teachers' perspectives on implementing English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) with the Cambridge curriculum in a rural Islamic primary school in Mojokerto, Indonesia. Against the backdrop of global EMI expansion and Indonesia’s push for bilingual education, the study addresses gaps in EMI research, which predominantly focuses on higher education. Through interviews and classroom observations, four key challenges emerged: teacher language proficiency, students’ low English comprehension, inadequate professional development, and teaching anxiety, rooted in rural and non-English educational backgrounds. Conversely, benefits included global competence, improved English skills, elevated school credibility, and teacher enthusiasm. Findings underscore the transformative potential of EMI in marginalized settings, alongside the need for context-specific teacher training and curriculum integration. The study advocates for longitudinal research on student outcomes and technology-enhanced solutions to address rural disparities, contributing to debates on equitable EMI implementation in religious and low-resource contexts.

Abstract

Teachers are professionals who are not only required to be able to transfer their knowledge and educate students, but they must also be able to develop their professionalism, one of which is by conducting research. But in reality, teachers at SMPN I Buduran Sidoarjo have very little knowledge about research, especially classroom action research (CAR). The method chosen to overcome this problem is through workshops and PTK article mentoring clinics. The reason for choosing this method was to facilitate teachers at SMPN I Buduran Sidoarjo to practice directly in making CAR articles. The PTK article assistance workshop and clinic which was held on March 11 & 25 2023 was able to motivate teachers at SMPN I Buduran Sidoarjo to do CAR and help increase teachers' understanding of CAR implementation. And through the article assistance clinic, as many as 6 teachers have succeeded in publishing their articles in national journals.
