Abstract

Reading competence is fundamental to students’ intellectual and personal development, particularly in acquiring foreign language proficiency. This study examined the effects of online dictionary use and learning motivation on English reading comprehension among secondary school students. Employing a quasi-experimental quantitative design with comparative and correlational approaches, 131 tenth-grade students from SMAN 1 Madiun participated. Data were collected using a standardized reading comprehension test and a validated 30-item motivation questionnaire. Results showed that online dictionary use and learning motivation were both positively correlated with reading comprehension (r = 0.797 and r = 0.980, respectively; p less than 0.001). Two-way ANOVA revealed significant main effects of online dictionary use (F = 106.919, p less than 0.001, η² = 0.457) and learning motivation (F = 5.943, p = 0.016, η² = 0.045), with no significant interaction effect (p = 0.133). These findings highlight the importance of integrating digital tools and motivational strategies to strengthen English reading comprehension.

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.
