This research examines EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers' perceptions of peer observation as a tool for developing professionalism. This research uses a qualitative approach, a case study type at Medan High School. The subjects of this research took two EFL teachers as English teachers. Data was obtained through observation and in-depth interviews. Then the data was analyzed using the Miles & Huberman data analysis model which includes data condensation, data presentation and verification or conclusion. The research results show teachers' positive perceptions of peer observation as a tool for teacher professional development. In developing teacher professionalism, peer observation can improve the quality of learning because correlation and input from peers can provide better teaching methods and innovation. It can also support reflection and develop understanding because it builds collaboration by involving colleagues in observing each other in a reciprocal process to improve classroom teaching through self-reflection. Peer observation brings many benefits to teachers. This helps teachers solve problems they face in teaching and provides learning opportunities to acquire new teaching methods or strategies from colleagues. Therefore, this research recommends that teachers conduct peer observations to develop their professionalism. Through peer observation, teachers receive constructive feedback to improve their teaching.

This study investigates undergraduate EFL students’ perceptions and challenges in using Paperpal as an AI feedback tool for research paper writing. Although AI-assisted writing tools are increasingly integrated into higher education, empirical research examining students’ experiences with AI-generated feedback in research-oriented writing remains limited, particularly in EFL contexts. Employing a qualitative case study design, this study involved 25 undergraduate English Education students at a state university in Indonesia. Data were collected through a descriptive questionnaire administered to all participants and semi-structured interviews with 10 selected students. Questionnaire data were analyzed using Likert-scale frequency analysis, while interview data were examined through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that students generally perceived Paperpal as a useful and accessible tool that supported grammatical accuracy, sentence clarity, academic vocabulary development, revision efficiency, and confidence during the research paper revision process. However, the study also reveals notable challenges. Students reported difficulty maintaining intended meaning and authorial control when applying AI-generated feedback, particularly in complex argumentative sections. In addition, a tendency toward over-reliance on AI feedback was identified, especially among less confident writers, which occasionally reduced critical evaluation of revisions. Overall, the study concludes that Paperpal functions most effectively as a complementary linguistic support rather than a standalone solution. Its pedagogical value depends on students’ feedback literacy and their ability to engage critically with AI-generated feedback, underscoring the need for guided and responsible integration of AI tools in EFL academic writing instruction.

Slow learners in inclusive classrooms often struggle to understand English reading passages, so appropriate reading strategies are needed to support their learning process. This study aims to describe the implementation of Guided Reading strategies in English reading instruction for slow learners in inclusive eighth-grade junior high school classrooms. This study applies a descriptive qualitative methodology with a case study design. The study was conducted in an inclusive junior high school in Indonesia, involving an English teacher selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observation and interviews, then analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the Guided Reading strategy was implemented through three main stages, namely pre-reading, during-reading, and post-reading. In the pre-reading stage, the teacher prepared the students by introducing the topic and vocabulary. During the reading stage, the teacher provided step-by-step reading assistance. Furthermore, in the post-reading stage, the teacher helps students understand the content of the reading through simple questions and answers and activities to retell the text. The implementation of this strategy helps slow learners follow the reading process gradually, increases engagement, and builds confidence in learning English reading in inclusive classrooms.

The increasing utilization of artificial intelligence in English language learning and teaching emphasizes the necessity of understanding pre-service teachers’ perceptions on AI-writing tools. This study investigates their perspectives on the use of Generative AI (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT and GeminiAI and traditional grammar checkers such as Grammarly and Quillbot in English writing. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from 15 pre-service English teachers through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with five selected participants. Findings reveal that GenAI tools are perceived as beneficial for idea development and providing comprehensive feedback, whereas traditional grammar checkers are valued for their grammatical accuracy and structural refinement. Accessibility is a determining factor, with GenAI favored for its unrestricted free features, while grammar checkers often necessitate paid versions for full functionality. However, challenges arise concerning the complexity of AI-generated feedback and the potential for over-reliance, which may hinder independent writing development. Ethical concerns, particularly regarding data privacy and originality, are also identified. From a pedagogical perspective, while these tools support language learning, excessive dependence may undermine critical thinking and writing autonomy. Therefore, teacher education programs should incorporate structured training on the responsible integration of AI and grammar checkers to ensure that pre-service teachers develop both technological proficiency and pedagogical strategies for fostering students’ independent writing skills.

This study examines the utilization of Wordwall as a multisensory instructional tool for teaching English vocabulary to slow learners in inclusive EFL classrooms at the junior high school level. Slow learners often encounter difficulties in vocabulary acquisition due to slower cognitive processing, limited working memory, and challenges in retention. Consequently, instructional approaches must incorporate repetition, explicit explanation, and adaptive strategies aligned with learners’ cognitive characteristics.This research employed a qualitative case study design involving two participants: an English teacher and a shadow teacher experienced in teaching slow learners using Wordwall. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and teacher reflective documents, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to multisensory instruction, pedagogical adaptation, and technology integration.The findings indicate that Wordwall functions as a complementary instructional tool that enhances learners’ motivation, engagement, and participation. Its visual, auditory, and interactive features facilitate vocabulary learning through image-word association, pronunciation support, and repeated exposure. However, vocabulary mastery remains dependent on explicit instruction, scaffolding, and continuous teacher mediation. Teachers assume critical roles as instructional designers, facilitators, motivators, and evaluators, adapting content, pacing, and task complexity to meet learners’ needs.Despite its pedagogical potential, several challenges were identified, including technological constraints, students’ limited digital literacy, the need for differentiated instruction, and concerns regarding assessment validity. Overall, the study concludes that the effectiveness of Wordwall is determined not by its technological features alone but by its integration within adaptive and pedagogically informed instructional practices.

This study examines the discursive representation of Prabowo Subianto, a prominent Indonesian political figure, within a selected corpus of news articles published by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as the analytical framework, the research integrated both deductive and inductive analytical approaches. The deductive phase was grounded in Martin and White's (2005) Appraisal framework, which systematically categorized evaluative language into three attitudinal resources: affect, judgement, and appreciation. The inductive phase complemented this by uncovering hidden ideologies embedded within the news texts that may not be explicitly captured by the appraisal system alone. Data annotation was conducted using the UAM Corpus Tool to ensure systematic and replicable identification of attitudinal resources. The quantitative findings reveal that judgement constitutes the most frequently deployed attitudinal resource, accounting for 53.13% of all identified occurrences, followed by affect (30.96%) and appreciation (15.89%). Within the judgement sub-category, negative judgement of propriety, which evaluates behavior according to ethical and moral standards, dominates the discourse at 30.80%, collectively portraying Prabowo as morally problematic. Negative affect, in turn, reflects public fear and anxiety toward Prabowo's personal conduct and political candidacy, while appreciation resources highlight his strategic efforts to secure voter support. The study concludes that the predominance of negative evaluations aligns with the BBC's publicly stated commitment to universal human rights and liberal democratic values. Conversely, the presence of positive evaluations suggests a concurrent journalistic effort to maintain balance and impartiality, reflecting the inherent tension between advocacy-oriented reporting and the normative ideal of journalistic neutrality. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of how international media construct political identities in non-Western contexts and underscore the ideological underpinnings of ostensibly objective news discourse.

This study explores English teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching students with special needs within inclusive primary school classrooms through a phenomenological approach. Inclusive education requires teachers to respond to diverse learning needs; therefore, teachers’ beliefs in their instructional capabilities are critical to the successful implementation of inclusive practices. This qualitative study was conducted in an inclusive primary school in Medan, Indonesia, involving ten English teachers who taught both inclusive and regular classes. Data were collected through the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with three selected participants. The questionnaire provided an overview of teachers’ perceived self-efficacy levels, while the interviews captured teachers’ lived experiences of self-efficacy in inclusive teaching contexts. The interview data were analysed thematically, guided by Bandura’s self-efficacy theory. The findings indicate that English teachers generally demonstrate a high level of self-efficacy, which is shaped by mastery experiences in inclusive classrooms, professional collaboration, participation in professional development, and teachers’ ability to regulate their emotional responses when facing instructional challenges. Teachers with higher self-efficacy showed greater confidence and flexibility in implementing adaptive instructional strategies and managing diverse student needs. This study contributes to the literature by providing an in-depth phenomenological understanding of how English teachers construct and experience self-efficacy in inclusive primary education contexts.

Teaching English to young learners poses challenges for non-native EFL teachers, particularly in balancing curriculum demands with fostering an engaging, supportive classroom environment. This study aims to explore the beliefs and classroom practices of non-native EFL teachers in teaching English to young learners. A narrative inquiry approach was employed to investigate how teachers’ experiences and beliefs influence their instructional strategies. The study was conducted at an international primary school in Medan, Indonesia, involving three experienced non-native English teachers. Data were collected through narrative interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis of lesson plans and teaching materials. Findings indicate that teachers’ beliefs are shaped by their personal teaching experiences, caregiving roles, and ongoing interactions with young learners. They prioritize creating enjoyable, emotionally supportive, and student-centered learning environments, which is reflected in practices such as games, songs, storytelling, movement-based activities, and positive reinforcement. Despite challenges posed by curriculum requirements and full-day school schedules, teachers adapt their strategies while maintaining their core beliefs. The study highlights that teachers’ beliefs are dynamic and enacted through classroom experiences, providing insights into the meaningful connection between beliefs and practices in EFL teaching for young learners.

Financial Technology (FinTech) has significantly changed the landscape of Indonesia’s digital economy. On the other hand, the increasing non-domestic population in Indonesia, especially the student age group, also reflects the broadening demographic dynamics. This group plays a crucial role as a consumer in national economic growth. Despite the increasing growth of the national digital economy, the non-domestic population, especially the student age group, is doubtful about the acceptance of using FinTech. This paper investigated non-domestic students’ intention to use FinTech in Indonesia. The authors employed mixed methodology with an explanatory sequential design. Thus, this paper explored this narrative based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and external factors such as Performance Expectancy (PE) and Social Influence (SI). Using the partial least squares (PLS) approach, data from the 75 non-domestic students in Indonesia were analyzed. In addition, this paper also utilized in-depth interviews to gather further information from participants. The thematic analysis of the semi-structured interviews was conducted to explore the non-domestic students’ experience of using Indonesian FinTech.

The increasing use of conversational artificial intelligence in casual and academic communication raises significant questions about how such systems create interpersonal meaning through language. Limited research has been conducted in terms of linguistic mechanisms through which interpersonal relationships are established across different registers. Addressing this gap, the current study explores how ChatGPT creates interpersonal meaning in informal and formal academic interactions through the lens of the systemic functional linguistics (SFL) framework. This qualitative SFL-based analysis research examines 10 ChatGPT-generated responses to prompts that were purposely designed, comprising five casual and five academic interactions that were broken down into 86 clauses and analyzed through the lens of the interpersonal metafunction, focusing on mood, modality, and appraisal, facilitated by register theory and the three dimensions of human-machine communication (HMC). The findings reveal a clear variation in the use of ChatGPT's interpersonal strategies depending on the register. Casual interactions exhibit a higher number of appraisal resources, especially affect and engagement, which reflect a relational and user-oriented stance. In contrast, academic interactions are described by the predominance of declarative mood and medium to high. This study provides insight into how AI imitates human behavior, such as interactional roles through language selection. The findings highlight the importance of register sensitivity in AI-human communication and have implications for linguistics, language education, and chatbot design. It is suggested that further studies should consider investigating larger datasets, more registers, and comparative analyses of different AI models.
