The purpose of this study is to scrutinize participants’ research competency, source of research competency, and problems related to the research conduct. Nine graduates of the Department of English Language Education were purposefully selected; three of them completed their theses in one semester, three others finished in two semesters, and one other finalized in three semesters. In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were used. The findings revealed that graduates with one-semester thesis completion rates have stronger research proficiency than other groups. They have a higher motivational value component, a higher methodology-reflective component, and a higher operational activity component of research competency. Meanwhile, the emotional-volitional component of research competency remains equal for each group of participants. Furthermore, graduates acquired research competency through coursework, research conduct, and self-study. In terms of problems with research conduct, the data disclosed that graduates frequently struggled with self-motivation, supervisors, time/class schedule, knowledge of prior studies, data analysis, and participants selection.

Issues and incidents of bullying may take place, regardless of time and place, notwithstanding at Islamic education institutions. This study is aimed at finding out types of bullying and their triggering factors taking place in the university classroom; examining steps taken by lecturers to anticipate and prevent classroom bullying; and analyzing the impact of bullying on EFL students’ academic achievement. This mixed-methods study involved 546 students and 30 lecturers of the English Language Education Department at three state Islamic universities in Indonesia; Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah in Jakarta, Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga in Yogyakarta, and Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry in Banda Aceh. Both surveys and interviews were employed to collect the required data. The findings elucidate that physical, social, verbal, and racial are among the most common emergent bullying incidents the students experienced. Revealing the triggering factors of bullying, the data show that competition in academic and social life, differences in thoughts and appearances, lack of understanding of bullying meaning, and lack of regulation are pointed as the source of bullying. The findings also indicate that bullying influences students’ academic achievement; bullying incidents have driven their victims into four pathetic conditions: less confident, stressed, anxious, and passive. Some steps are applied by the lecturer to prevent and handle bullying; they are: providing classroom regulation, being a counselor for students, enforcing the regulation, and massive socialization.

Flipped learning within blended learning has attracted interest for its potential benefits. However, implementing a fully blended model with in-person synchronous learning remains challenging. Therefore, this mixed-methods study investigates a modified flipped approach using a virtual synchronous classroom environment, replacing traditional face-to-face interaction with online instruction. Specifically, our study focused on its implementation in the context of a Public Speaking class, aiming to explore students experiences and levels of learning anxiety with the modified flipped instructional method. A number of 43 out of 50 English major students from one of the state Islamic universities in Indonesia, in their fifth semester, completed and submitted the questionnaires. The results of the study indicated that the implementation of a virtual synchronous flipped classroom had a dual effect, positively influencing both the advancement of students speaking abilities and the alleviation of their anxiety in speaking English. The students found the Synchronous Virtual Flipped Classroom (SVFC) engaging and intellectually stimulating, recommending its adoption via platforms like Zoom and WhatsApp. While they recognized the benefits of technology, their views varied contextually, particularly regarding social interaction. Despite the advantages, students expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of social presence and sensory experience compared to traditional classrooms. Technical issues further hampered peer interaction and impacted their learning experience. These findings provide useful information regarding the potential and limitations of virtual synchronous flipped classrooms in enhancing speaking skills and managing anxiety in language learning.

One of the methods gaining popularity in the context of teaching in recent years is flipped classroom instruction (FCI). The FCI encourages EFL learners to maximize their time away from class by using products of advanced technologies. Owing to this fact, the researchers conducted a study on the issue of Students’ writing performance and their attitudes about the use of technology. A mixed-method study was used to investigate students’ writing achievement and their attitudes to web-based instruction in the form of Flipped classroom instruction. Quantitative data was collected through survey questionnaires, while qualitative data was gained from interviews. The investigation on flipped classroom instruction was conducted at three State Islamic Universities in Indonesia. The questionnaires were distributed to EFL students at these three State Islamic universities to identify students’ experience in learning writing by using flipped classroom instruction. There were 198 students involved in this research. Also, twelve English lecturers from those three universities were interviewed. Findings suggested that most students had a positive attitude toward flipped classroom instruction. Although flipped classroom interaction does not guarantee the improvement of students’ writing performance, it is believed that flipped classroom instruction supports students to have a meaningful and effective learning experience.

The current study was designed to investigate the types of plagiarism that appear in EFL students’ theses at Ar-Raniry State Islamic University, Indonesia. It sought to examine the plagiarism level, and investigate the triggering factors encouraging these EFL students of the 2019 batch to plagiarize. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The participants in this study were ten EFL students of the 2019 batch and their theses. The participants were randomly selected. The data collection was carried out using two research instruments, namely document analysis, and interview. The researcher analyzed the student's thesis using Plagiarism Checker X. The results of the document analysis showed that there were two types of plagiarism detected in the student's thesis, namely word for word and mosaic plagiarism. Second, the researcher found that the plagiarism level of the 2019 batch English students' thesis of UIN Ar-Raniry was at the low-level plagiarism category, which can be observed from the result of the similarity index. The level of plagiarism found in these theses was less than 30%, still at an acceptable level as stipulated by the university regulation. Meanwhile, the result of the interview showed that all participants know what plagiarism is and they think that plagiarism is a negative conduct. Several factors influences EFL English students to plagiarize, such as poor time management, laziness, poor paraphrasing skills, affordable internet access, and running out of ideas.

English students often face challenges with speaking anxiety when asked to speak in front of the class. Many students are unaware of the factors contributing to their anxiety and lack strategies to manage it effectively. This research aims to identify the causes of speaking anxiety and the strategies EFL students use to cope with it. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, employing semi-structured interviews to gather data. Convenience sampling was applied to select six English students who had completed a speaking class as participants. The findings revealed five key factors contributing to speaking anxiety: (1) lack of preparation, (2) fear of making mistakes, (3) limited English skills, (4) excessive worry about meeting academic targets, and (5) fear of others’ reactions. Additionally, four strategies for managing speaking anxiety were identified: (1) changing mindset, (2) relaxation, (3) building confidence, and (4) improving speaking skills.
