Abstract

The objective of this research is to describe how the teacher integrates technologies in blended learning and to analyze students’ perception and challenges in blended learning. The research was conducted in a private senior high school in Bandung and used a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected through interview and questionnaire. The findings show that the teacher had already integrated technologies to run the process of teaching and learning in the new normal era as a replacement of a face to face learning due to Covid-19 pandemic. In the blended learning, the teacher integrated the variety of technologies in teaching-learning activities, namely zoom meeting and WhatsApp group chatting for the synchronous learning and she utilized google classroom, screencast o matic screen recorder, viva video editor, YouTube, and Quizizz the synchronous learning. The students perceived  blended learning positively and determined that it is it is one of the effective ways of teaching. The biggest challenge overcome by the teacher is more time needed to learn and adapt to this new situation where they must employ technology in our educational culture. For the students, the stability of internet connection also becomes major obstacle in blended learning. Apart from that, blended learning can be an option applied in the learning process in the current pandemic era.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between students’ speaking confidence and Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety (FLCA) among Indonesian university EFL learners. While previous studies have often investigated confidence and anxiety separately, limited research has explored their relationship at the tertiary level in the Indonesian context using a mixed-methods approach. To address this gap, the study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (QUAN ? qual). The participants were 24 English Education students selected through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were collected using a speaking confidence questionnaire and the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), which demonstrated acceptable to excellent reliability (? = .704 for the FLCAS and ? = .933 for the confidence scale). Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were conducted, followed by semi-structured interviews to confirm the questionnaire results. The findings showed that most students reported high speaking confidence while experiencing moderate classroom anxiety. Correlation analysis revealed a strong and significant negative relationship between confidence and anxiety (r = –0.657, p < .05), indicating that higher confidence was associated with lower anxiety levels. Interview data were consistent with the quantitative findings and confirmed students’ self-reported levels of confidence and anxiety. These results suggest that confidence and anxiety coexist in EFL speaking contexts rather than functioning as opposing states. Pedagogically, the study underscores the need for confidence-building speaking tasks and supportive classroom practices to help learners manage anxiety and sustain oral communication.

Abstract

With the establishment of the Merdeka Curriculum, education in Indonesia is stepping into a new chapter, aiming to place students at the center of the learning process, encourage differentiated instruction, and strengthen essential 21st-century skills. Despite its promising vision, most existing studies focus mainly on descriptive accounts of policy implementation, offering little empirical evidence on how curriculum implementation relates to learning outcomes remains limited, particularly in senior high school English classes. This study addresses that gap by applying the CIPP evaluation model to explore the relationships among Context, Input, Process, and Product components. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from students and teachers in four senior high schools in Kabupaten Bandung through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that, among the three components, process exhibits the strongest relationship with product, followed by input and context. Qualitative findings further indicated that effective classroom practices play a central role in supporting student learning. Overall, the results suggest that the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in English classes is closely related to supportive learning environments, adequate instructional resources, and well-managed teaching–learning processes.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka in English language teaching at senior high schools in Kabupaten Bandung, using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. A mixed-methods design was applied, involving 131 participants from four schools, including principals, vice principals, teachers, and students. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, with instruments tested for validity and reliability. Findings show encouraging progress alongside key challenges. In context, schools (93.33%) and teachers (85.83%) affirmed strong alignment with institutional vision and policy, while students (72.93%) found lessons more engaging and relevant. Input results indicated sufficient training and facilities (80–85%), though students rated this lower (73.49%). The process dimension reflected strong implementation by schools (85%) and teachers (88.12%) through differentiation, project-based learning, and feedback, but student engagement was weaker (71.20%). In terms of product, schools (80%) and teachers (80.83%) observed improved performance, yet only 58.79% of students felt personal progress. Overall, the curriculum shows contextual relevance, resource readiness, and positive outcomes, but student experiences vary. Challenges include inconsistent transfer of teacher training to practice, supervision that often feels administrative, and student concerns over workload and confidence. Strengthening teacher capacity, fostering meaningful supervision, and building learner confidence are crucial to ensuring that Kurikulum Merdeka not only aligns with policy but also delivers deeper benefits to students.

Abstract

The development of digital technology presents significant opportunities to enhance students' literacy, particularly in learning English. However, the integration of technology in school environments remains limited, and many students have not yet utilized digital tools as productive learning media. This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to increase junior high school students’ interest and reading comprehension in English by introducing the Read Along by Google application. The program was conducted at MTs As-Syifa, West Bandung Regency, involving 50 students as participants. The method employed was the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach through interactive seminars, application simulations, and reflective discussions. The results showed high enthusiasm among students in using the Read Along application, with positive responses toward its interactive features. Besides boosting reading motivation, the activity also encouraged students to integrate technology into their daily learning habits. Therefore, the asset-based and technology-oriented approach proved effective in strengthening digital literacy and supporting English learning at the junior high school level.

Abstract

The growing emphasis on technology-enhanced language learning has highlighted the need to better understand the integration of traditional speaking techniques with artificial intelligence in EFL contexts. This study investigates the implementation of the shadowing technique integrated with AI to enhance students’ speaking skills using a mixed-method approach. Data were collected from 25 pre-service English teachers through speaking tests, Likert-scale questionnaires, and interviews, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-tests, and thematic analysis. The results reveal that students’ speaking performance significantly improved, as indicated by higher post-test scores and statistically significant differences between pre-test and post-test results. In addition, students demonstrated positive perceptions across all indicators, particularly in speaking skill improvement, highlighting gains in fluency, pronunciation, and natural speaking ability. These findings indicate that the integration of shadowing with Loora provides both effective practice and meaningful learning experiences.
