English is mostly taught in a classroom setting in a foreign language context. However, English is not always spoken or exposed to; even in the classroom, hardly ever use English. This situation suggests that full English classes are utilized quite frequently and first language is occasionally required. This research aims to reveal the teacher’s strategies in using target language (TL) in EFL classroom and to reveal the teacher’s perceptions toward the use of target language in EFL classroom. This research used a qualitative method with a case study design. The participants of this research were a teacher that teaching English in one of the senior high schools in Majalengka. The result shows the teacher tries to maximize the use of English as the target language in classroom by using several strategies, they are: using the same or similar instruction and gestures, ‘guess’ the meaning based on the context, speak more slowly and deliberate, strategy pausing, modifying the pronunciation, vocabulary use is more basic, simplifying grammar and letting student speaks. The teacher realized that the English classroom and the English teacher were the only source of learning English. The teacher tries to maximize the use of English as the target language in classroom. This is to fulfil the opportunity to learn English for students. And teachers also believe that getting used to English in classroom can improve students' abilities in English. This research was not conducted deeply and the writer realized there are many weaknesses in it. This research also allows the other researcher to research new things behind English as a medium of instruction and the researcher suggests to other researchers to involve more participants and longer time.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a critical skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, especially in Indonesia, where English is a compulsory subject in junior high schools. However, many students struggle with understanding texts due to limited vocabulary, lack of exposure to authentic English, and conventional teaching methods that rely heavily on textbooks. This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating BBC Learning English videos, combined with the PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) strategy, to enhance reading comprehension among seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Sukahaji, Majalengka. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 30 students were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received video-based instruction, while the control group used conventional text-based methods. Data were collected using a 30-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test and analyzed with descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test, Levene’s test, and Independent samples t-test. The results show a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s reading comprehension scores (p = 0.001), indicating that BBC Learning English videos, when systematically integrated with reading strategies, can enhance students’ understanding, motivation, and engagement. This research contributes to the growing evidence supporting the use of multimedia in EFL classrooms and offers practical recommendations for educators and policymakers.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Reciprocal Teaching (RT) in improving reading comprehension among vocational high school students in Majalengka, Indonesia. Grounded in Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), RT employs four metacognitive strategies—predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing—within collaborative learning structures. A quasi-experimental design was used involving 64 students divided into experimental and control groups. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess comprehension improvements. The experimental group, taught using RT, showed a statistically significant increase in scores compared to the control group, confirming RT's efficacy in enhancing comprehension skills. Findings support RT’s potential for broader adoption in Indonesian EFL classrooms to foster metacognitive awareness and independent learning.

Abstract

This research explores English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ perceptions, implementation practices, challenges, and strategies in applying the Mindful, Meaningful, and Joyful (MMJ) approach at an Islamic primary school in Indonesia. This research adopts a qualitative case study design, using open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with three EFL teachers as primary data sources. This research applies Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis to identify patterns related to teacher perceptions, classroom implementation, and contextual constraints. This research reveals that teachers perceive MMJ as a holistic and student-centered approach rather than a set of isolated techniques. This research finds that teachers implement MMJ through reflective routines, culturally relevant stories, joyful projects, and mindfulness practices that promote emotional engagement and language acquisition. This research also identifies major challenges, including limited instructional time, resource constraints, student diversity, and sociocultural expectations. This research shows that teachers respond to these challenges with adaptive strategies, such as integrating MMJ into the national curriculum, simplifying tasks, and using local cultural elements to sustain student motivation. This research highlights the evolving role of teachers as emotional caregivers, learning designers, and reflective practitioners, emphasizing the importance of teacher agency in educational innovation. This research concludes that the MMJ approach, when supported by professional development and contextual flexibility, holds significant potential for enriching English language teaching in Indonesian primary schools.
