Abstract

Abstract: For the past four years, English teachers in Indonesia have been required to adopt Differentiated Instruction in their lessons to make their learning more adaptable for students' needs as a result of modifications to a new curriculum known as Merdeka Curriculum. However, there were limited studies conducted to investigate English teachers’ understanding and implementation of Differentiated Instruction at vocational high schools’ level. The purpose of this research is to fill this gap through qualitative research. This study is intended: (1) to investigate English teachers’ understanding of Differentiated Instruction , (2) to explore how English teachers use Differentiated Instruction as a teaching approach in the classroom. Five English teachers from SMK 1 and SMK 2 Pariaman participated in this research. The data were gathered from observation checklists and interviews.

Abstract

Speaking is widely recognized as one of the most challenging skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners due to affective factors such as speaking anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, and low self-confidence. Oral peer feedback has been proposed as a pedagogical approach to address these challenges by fostering learner interaction and reflection. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design to explore the implementation of oral peer feedback and students’ perceived influence of this practice on speaking performance, confidence, and anxiety. The study was conducted at a boarding school, Pondok Pesantren BUMI BOS, involving 38 eighth- and ninth-grade EFL students. Data were collected through classroom observations using an observation checklist and semi-structured interviews with selected students. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman framework, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation applied to enhance credibility. The findings showed that oral peer feedback was implemented in a generally supportive and structured manner, characterized by recognition of strengths, balanced positive and constructive comments, and respectful communication. Students perceived oral peer feedback as helpful in increasing awareness of their speaking strengths and weaknesses, enhancing motivation, and building speaking confidence. However, students experienced difficulty providing actionable suggestions, often requiring teacher scaffolding. While many students reported reduced speaking anxiety, some continued to feel nervous when feedback was perceived as overly critical. Ninth-grade students demonstrated higher engagement and confidence than eighth-grade students. The study suggests that oral peer feedback has a positive perceived influence on students’ speaking engagement and confidence, particularly when supported by clear guidelines and teacher guidance, highlighting the importance of structured peer feedback training in EFL speaking classrooms.

Abstract

Reading is one of the important basic skills in English. Personality types also have a relationship with students' reading comprehension. There are many ways of classifying one’s personality. One of these is categorizing them into extrovert or introverted types. This research was conducted through quantitative non-experimental research. The population of this research was all IX class students at SMPN 2 Lirik. The study used Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire to measure students’ personality types and examined their correlation with reading comprehension. While no significant overall correlation was found, extrovert and introvert characteristics influenced specific comprehension processes differently. Based on the data that has been collected, the level of students' extrovert personality, the results showed that the overall average score is 38.38. This places most students in the medium extrovert personality category. Meanwhile, regarding the level of students' introverted personality, the results showed that most students were in the medium category, with an average overall score of 42.17 from a total of 65 respondents. Both extroverts and introverts have a significant role in their reading comprehension abilities. Although overall there was no significant correlation between personality type (X) and reading comprehension based on the t-count value of 0.227 which is lower than the t-table of 1.998 and a significance value of 0.821 (greater than α = 0.05), the findings from the analysis of each indicator indicate that extrovert and introvert personality characteristics have different influences on the process of understanding texts. Keywords: Students’ personality types (extrovert and introvert), reading comprehension

Abstract

This study examines the construction of gender ideology in English textbooks published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture in 2022. As official pedagogical documents, the textbooks play a strategic role in shaping students' gender understanding. This study aimed to identify and analyze gender representations in text and images to uncover the gender ideologies underlying the materials' construction. To answer the research questions, high school textbooks for grades X, XI, and XII served as data sources. Using a qualitative design with documentation and discourse analysis techniques, this study classified verbal and visual excerpts into ideological frameworks through a multimodal discourse analysis approach. The findings revealed three main ideologies: egalitarian, intensive parenting, and moderate traditional. Egalitarian ideology is reflected in the representation of women and men as professional, high-achieving, resilient, and creative subjects; intensive parenting is evident through the collaborative division of caregiving roles, while moderate traditional ideology is evident in the continued dominance of women in certain domestic tasks. These three ideologies indicate a hybrid gender discourse that reflects the negotiation between progressive and traditional values in government-published textbooks. Practically, these findings encourage the need for gender sensitivity audits in textbook development and critical pedagogy in the classroom. Theoretically, this research contributes to strengthening the understanding that gender representation in educational media is dynamic, layered, and reflects broader social changes in the context of national education.

Abstract

Scenario-based learning (SBL) is a teaching method that uses real-life simulations to help students develop practical skills and apply their knowledge in relevant and realistic contexts. This study aims to explore the impact of implementing scenario-based learning in English for Nursing, with a focus on improving students’ communication skills. The research used a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with 41 students from Akper Kesdam I/Bukit Barisan Padang who had participated in scenario-based learning. Data were collected to identify changes in students’ confidence, language anxiety, and their ability to apply medical communication in real-world situations. The findings indicate that scenario-based learning significantly improved students’ confidence in using English for communication, reduced language anxiety, and deepened their understanding of the importance of clear communication in emergencies. The scenarios provided practical experience that helped students bridge theory with real-life applications, better preparing them for urgent medical situations. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that integrating scenario-based learning into English for Nursing is effective in preparing nursing students to address communication challenges in medical settings and in improving patient care quality.

Abstract

TikTok has quickly become one of the most widely used short-form video platforms worldwide, and its presence in language learning continues to grow. Although many digital-native learners engage with the platform daily, there is still limited research that brings together its pedagogical strengths and structural challenges in a systematic way. This study examines how TikTok can be integrated into language-learning contexts and what factors may limit its effective use. A systematic review of twenty peer-reviewed studies published between 2022 and 2024 was conducted to capture recent developments in post-pandemic digital learning. The selected studies focused on TikTok’s use in formal or semi-formal language-learning settings and were analyzed using qualitative thematic synthesis. The findings show that TikTok’s short-form and multimodal features support vocabulary development, speaking practice, pronunciation awareness, and learner engagement. Its brief and repeatable content encourages frequent exposure to language input. However, the platform’s entertainment-driven algorithm, limited capacity for deeper explanation, unequal digital access, and varying levels of teacher readiness pose challenges for structured classroom integration. Overall, TikTok offers meaningful pedagogical value when used intentionally within clear instructional frameworks. Its effectiveness depends on thoughtful alignment with learning objectives and careful integration into broader teaching strategies.
