Reflective thinking is an important factor that can affect a teacher's effectiveness when teaching in the educational setting. This study aims to investigate the relationship between reflective thinking of EFL teachers in Indonesia and their teaching styles. A descriptive-correlational design was employed in the quantitative research method, and a survey with fifteen EFL teachers from different Indonesian schools was used to collect data. With a correlation of 0.757 and a significance value (sig) of 0.001<0.05, the statistical analysis's results demonstrated a strong positive or close to significant relationship between teachers' reflective thinking levels and their teaching styles. Additionally, the percentage of 53.3% indicates that EFL teachers in Indonesia tend to use the "All-round flexible, Adaptable teacher" teaching style when teaching students in English in the classroom. This finding illustrates that Indonesian EFL teachers who exhibit high levels of reflective thinking tend to have more effective teaching styles. Suggestions for future research include in-depth research to understand specific aspects of reflective thinking as it relates to teaching styles.

Understanding the English language learning concept is crucial for success in learning English. Numerous studies have focused on English as a foreign language (EFL) in-service teachers' perceptions of English language learning, while only a few have examined EFL pre-service teachers. This research delves into the different aspects of the experiences, reflections, and conceptualizations of English language learning among EFL pre-service teachers. A group of eight Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers engaged in participatory action research (PAR) during their field experience practices (PPL) in junior and senior high schools. This study employed a thorough approach to data collection, incorporating photovoice, an open-ended questionnaire, and in-depth interviews. The results of data analysis involving identifying and categorizing themes reveal a diverse range of perspectives, wherein English is likened to a lamp, dictionary, cuisine, flowers, class, and artificial intelligence (AI). Furthermore, learning English is often portrayed as an engaging and demanding process, highlighting the importance of innovative pedagogical approaches. This study emphasizes the significance of collaboration between language and technology departments to remain at the forefront of educational advancement, establishing a solid foundation for future research and improvements in EFL teacher education.

The primary goal of this study is to analyze the elicitation and reformulation used by male and female teachers in English classes. In this descriptive qualitative study, the researcher collected data from observation and in-depth interviews in three class meetings for 135 minutes (45 minutes/meeting). Ten teachers, five male, and five female, from one Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri in Medan City, North Sumatra. The data were analyzed using Tsui's Elicitation and Martinot's Reformulation categorization. The findings reveal that male and female teachers similarly use five elicitation types: inform, confirm, agree, repeat, and clarify, where the most dominant type of elicitation is confirmed. In addition, three different types of reformulation were found in the reformulation feedback: the same construction, transformation, and restructured statements. In contrast, transformation was the dominant type used by the teachers. In practicing oral feedback, especially elicitation, male teachers use standard language to elicit the students' utterances, while female teachers ask students to make the teaching and learning process interactive. In reformulation, the study results show that male teachers only provide oral feedback by giving instructions, while female teachers provide oral feedback by giving instructions and reformulating utterances. Furthermore, three main reasons were found for teachers to provide oral feedback, namely: to detect mistakes made by students, to stimulate students to interact with the teacher, and to create reflective and effective feedback practices.

Teachers play a critical role when it comes to impacting student achievement. Consequently, the matter of teacher quality is currently being tackled through the implementation of professional development (PD) initiatives. PD in English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching and learning context has gained burgeoning attention in the last decade. However, it is not known how Indonesian EFL teachers perceive and practice PD for their professional development. The objective of this research was to investigate the viewpoints of EFL teachers in Indonesia towards the importance of professional development (PD) and ascertain their existing PD practices, if any. A total of 70 teachers participated in this study by completing the survey, with 37 of them subsequently invited to participate in the forum group discussion (FGD) on a voluntary basis. The analysis of the collected data revealed that the participants perceived PD as significant for their professional development in three areas: knowledge, pedagogy, and language proficiency. Conversely, the findings also reveal a low degree of participation in professional development activities (PDAs), despite their common engagement in these activities. This study concludes by highlighting the significance of addressing certain areas that require particular attention to effectively support teachers in their continuous professional development endeavors.

This study investigates how the speech acts of request, refusal, and apology are realized across two culturally and linguistically distinct languages: English and Mandarin. Grounded in speech act theory and contemporary approaches to politeness and facework, the research examines how interactional norms, sociocultural values, and contextual expectations shape speakers’ pragmatic choices. While existing scholarship has extensively analyzed these speech acts individually, cross-cultural studies that integrate all three within a unified comparative framework remain limited. To address this gap, the present study employs a qualitative, discourse-based methodology incorporating naturally occurring spoken interactions, documentary and digital media data, and contextual commentaries. Conversation Analysis (CA) and thematic analysis are used to explore linguistic strategies, sequential organization, and culturally embedded meanings.Findings reveal systematic contrasts in directness, mitigation, sequencing, and face-management orientations. English speakers tend to favor explicit forms, efficient sequencing, and concise justification, reflecting low-context communication norms. Mandarin speakers employ greater indirectness, elaborate mitigation, relational alignment, and self-effacement, consistent with high-context communication and face-sensitive cultural orientations. However, patterns also vary by setting, social distance, power relations, and communicative medium, demonstrating that pragmatic behavior is shaped by both cultural tendencies and situational constraints.The study contributes to cross-cultural pragmatics by offering a comparative, multi-layered account of how requests, refusals, and apologies are constructed and negotiated in English and Mandarin. The findings have implications for intercultural communication, language pedagogy, and the development of pragmatic competence among speakers navigating bilingual or multilingual environments.
