Abstract

The principal objective of English language instruction in Indonesia is to furnish Indonesian pupils with the ability to communicate effectively in English. The English communicative skills of Indonesian school graduates have been found to be low, which can be attributed to the prevalent use of traditional student-centered approaches that emphasise linguistic structural properties. Additionally, the lack of exposure to and usage of the target language in the classroom further contributes to this issue. A limited number of students possess the ability to effectively convey concepts, perspectives, and emotions utilising English as a means of interaction. The objective of this review article is to advocate for the effectiveness of the task-based language teaching (TBLT) approach in enhancing the communicative abilities of students in Indonesia. This paper utilises various theoretical frameworks and empirical studies to undertake a critical examination of the advantages and drawbacks associated with the implementation of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in Indonesia. The argument posits that Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) facilitates organic learning, engenders inherent motivation among students, and fosters the development of language skills, which may result in an expedited enhancement of communicative proficiency.

Abstract

To create midwifery student professionalism in the topic of learning Midwifery Services, lecturers need a structured learning design. The form of learning in Midwifery services is very suitable using the Experiential learning method. This Experiential learning method has four cycles of phases in shaping the experience of becoming professional in students. The method used in this research is Research and Development. The research subjects were Midwifery students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Sumatera Barat. The research object is a Midwifery Service learning topic with learning materials Offering Services, Giving Direction and Persuade. The results obtained are in the form of a Learning Design which contains the learning flow of Midwifery Services in English in the Experiential Learning model. The circular phases are Active Experimentation (Students carry out oral conversation practice based on the theme of conditions experienced every day and Midwifery Services), Concrete Experience (Students are asked to demonstrate the expressions of offering service, giving direction, and persuading in Indonesian Language. The teacher plays video/audio expressions offering service, giving direction, and persuading), Reflective Observation (Learners compare functions, language structures in the utterances heard and compare with English conversation in Midwifery Services), Abstract Conceptualization (Students arrange and make conversations based on the function and structure of linguistic rules using various expressions. Students are given the opportunity to make conversations based on the theme of the conditions experienced in the practice of midwifery services).

Abstract

Compliment responses play a vital role in academic communication as indicators of pragmatic competence and cultural values. In multilingual contexts such as English and Minangkabau, they further reflect how students negotiate cultural identity through language use. This study examined university students’ compliment responses in English and Minangkabau using Searle’s (1969) speech act theory—focusing on expressive acts—and Chung’s (2010) classification of strategies: acceptance, amendment, non-acceptance, and combination. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) administered to 20 participants and follow-up interviews with 10 of them to explore the reasoning behind their choices. Analysis revealed that students used ten distinct strategies across both languages. The acceptance strategy, particularly through appreciation tokens, was most frequently employed, accounting for 66.7% of responses in English and 52.9% in Minangkabau. These results suggest that while students tended to accept compliments, they also adapted their responses to align with sociocultural expectations in each language. The findings indicate that students’ pragmatic competence is shaped by both linguistic proficiency and cultural norms. Their bilingual practices reflect an effort to balance modesty with acknowledgment, reinforcing their cultural identity in communicative exchanges. Integrating cultural awareness into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction is essential to develop learners’ pragmatic competence and promote effective intercultural communication.

Abstract

Buku teks Bahasa Inggris untuk Tujuan Khusus (ESP) untuk Sekolah Menengah Atas di Indonesia cenderung mengadopsi materi Bahasa Inggris Umum. Hal ini bertentangan dengan kebutuhan siswa yang sebenarnya. Penelitian ini menganalisis kebutuhan belajar bahasa Inggris dari perspektif siswa di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) Pekanbaru, dengan fokus pada komponen linguistik seperti tata bahasa, kosa kata, dan pengucapan, serta pengalaman, manfaat, dan motivasi siswa. Hasil survei terhadap 104 siswa menunjukkan bahwa kosa kata dan pengucapan dianggap paling penting dan sulit, dengan siswa sering mengalami kesulitan berbicara akibat keterbatasan tersebut, sementara manfaat utama bahasa Inggris adalah untuk mengekspresikan pikiran dan perasaan serta menjadi warga dunia. Penelitian merekomendasikan pengembangan kurikulum ESP yang mengintegrasikan kebutuhan vokasional, dengan penekanan pada latihan speaking, diskusi kelompok, dan materi relevan bidang keahlian siswa.

Abstract

Kurikulum Merdeka menekankan pencapaian capaian pembelajaran yang komunikatif, kontekstual, dan relevan dengan pendidikan vokasi. Oleh karena itu, modul ajar Bahasa Inggris di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) dituntut untuk selaras dengan capaian pembelajaran tersebut serta mendukung kebutuhan komunikasi di dunia kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi modul ajar Bahasa Inggris yang digunakan di SMK dalam mendukung capaian pembelajaran Kurikulum Merdeka. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif kualitatif dengan dukungan analisis dokumen secara kuantitatif. Data penelitian berupa modul ajar Bahasa Inggris yang dikembangkan untuk kelas X (Fase E) pada program keahlian Manufaktur dan Rekayasa. Instrumen penelitian berupa document checklist yang mencakup struktur modul, kesesuaian dengan capaian pembelajaran, relevansi kejuruan (English for Specific Purposes), aktivitas pembelajaran, asesmen, serta karakteristik Kurikulum Merdeka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa modul ajar memiliki kesesuaian yang baik dengan capaian pembelajaran Kurikulum Merdeka dengan capaian persentase keseluruhan sebesar 73,33%. Kekuatan modul terletak pada kelengkapan struktur, pembelajaran berpusat pada peserta didik, dan aktivitas komunikatif. Namun, modul masih menunjukkan keterbatasan dalam integrasi konten Bahasa Inggris berbasis kejuruan dan konteks dunia kerja. Dengan demikian, meskipun modul ajar telah memenuhi standar umum kurikulum, pengembangan lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk memperkuat orientasi vokasional dan mendukung capaian pembelajaran Kurikulum Merdeka secara optimal di SMK.

Abstract

This study explores teachers’ wait time and its impact on students’ speaking participation in English classrooms at SMA Negeri 10 Padang. Speaking is one of the most challenging skills for EFL learners, as many students feel anxious, afraid of making mistakes, and lack confidence to speak. One factor that influences this situation is the teacher’s wait time, the pause given after asking a question before expecting an answer. This research focuses on two types of wait time: Wait Time 1, which occurs after the teacher’s question and before the student’s response, and Wait Time 2, which occurs after the student’s answer and before the teacher’s next move. A mixed-method design was used, combining classroom observations and stimulated recall interviews with two English teachers. The results showed that most teachers gave short pauses, ranging from one to five seconds. Longer pauses encouraged more meaningful and confident student responses, while shorter ones limited participation. The findings suggest that teachers should be more aware of their wait time to promote reflective and communicative classroom interaction.

Abstract

This study conducts a needs assessment to support the development of Islamic value-based edupreneurship teaching materials for English Education students at STAI Hubbulwathan Duri. Specifically, it investigates students’ perceptions, needs, and expectations regarding the integration of Islamic values into entrepreneurial learning. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 111 students through a questionnaire grounded in Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. The findings reveal that students strongly recognize the importance of aligning business practices with Islamic ethics and aspire to an entrepreneurial identity that is spiritually meaningful, seeing business as a form of da’wah and social empowerment. However, they also identified shortcomings in current learning materials, including insufficient practical guidance, limited exposure to role models, and the absence of value-based assessment methods. These results highlight an urgent need for redesigned coursebooks that incorporate contextual case studies, hands-on learning opportunities, and evaluation approaches rooted in Islamic principles. As a needs assessment, this study concludes that a revised curriculum is essential for fostering competent, ethical, and socially responsible Muslim edupreneurs.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum promotes early English proficiency in elementary school students. However, learning English as a foreign language is still difficult for young learners, especially in terms of acquiring the vocabulary and understanding the basic language abilities. Therefore, English teaching materials should be contextualized with content relevant to students’ social backgrounds. Despite the growing focus to the integration of local culture into English language education, only a few research have indicated which cultural aspects for English material development in elementary schools should be given priority. This study identified and prioritized Minangkabau cultural traits for elementary school teachers’ contextual English material development to meet their needs. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used to collect data from elementary school teachers in Lengayang District, West Sumatra, where Minangkabau culture is strongly rooted in students’ daily lives. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate quantitative data and theme analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The results demonstrated that the integration of Minangkabau culture into English learning materials was strongly supported. The most emphasized cultural attributes were traditional games, folktales, traditional clothes, and traditional meals, as they were believed to enable vocabulary learning, boost student engagement, promote cultural awareness, and assist meaningful language use. The study concluded that the emphasis on culturally relevant content can be useful in developing contextual and culturally responsive English materials for students in elementary schools.
