Abstract

Online learning has become an essential part of higher education, offering flexibility and wider access to students worldwide. Yet, in practice, many learners, especially those in EFL contexts, continue to face significant challenges that are often overlooked in existing research. This descriptive quantitative study explores the challenges and opportunities of online learning for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in higher education, specifically focusing on the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. Using a cross-sectional survey of 85 students, the research aimed to identify common obstacles and advantages in online learning while uncovering students' expectations and suggestions. The results revealed that technical issues (87.1%), lack of social interaction (67.1%), and difficulty understanding course material (52.9%) were the primary obstacles faced by students. Conversely, cost-effectiveness (62.4%), unrestricted access to course materials (49.4%), and reduced social demands (42.4%) were identified as key advantages. Notably, 79% of respondents expressed reluctance to engage in future online learning. This sentiment reflects persistent structural and pedagogical gaps. To improve the online learning experience, students proposed enhanced technological infrastructure, more interactive engagement, and increased instructional support. The findings underscore the need for institutions to reevaluate their online education strategies to ensure student-centered and sustainable learning environments.

Abstract

Writing is a critical skill for English language learners, enabling them to express ideas effectively. This study investigates the narrative writing abilities of second-grade students at SMPN 5 Wonomulyo, Indonesia, focusing on five key aspects: content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. Employing a mixed-method approach, data were collected through writing tests and teacher interviews. The findings reveal that a majority of students (60%) failed to meet the minimum standard of writing proficiency. Content and vocabulary were identified as the most challenging aspects, with many students struggling to generate coherent ideas and use appropriate language. Interviews with the teacher highlighted contributing factors, including limited vocabulary, lack of practice, and reliance on conventional teaching methods. The study emphasizes the need for innovative, student-centered approaches to enhance narrative writing skills, such as collaborative writing exercises, peer feedback, and digital storytelling tools. Vocabulary enrichment and regular writing practice are also critical for improving performance. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on EFL writing and offers practical recommendations for improving teaching practices.

The bibliometric data reveal a growing scholarly interest in integrating technology with pedagogical practices to improve English language learning outcomes. Among the ten analyzed articles, diverse methodological approaches were found, including experimental research, bibliometric reviews, case studies, and mixed-methods designs. A broader search indicated a total of 170 related publications within a single year, reflecting the rapid expansion of the field. Keyword network visualization categorized the research landscape into three dominant clusters: practical applications in higher education, foundational research design, and digital learning perceptions. The results show that blended learning's adaptability and the ability to meet various learner needs have enabled it to become a transformative tool in English education. These findings also offer a better grasp of the complexities of research, facilitating future work and the design of policies for teaching and learning in the digital era.

Abstract

This research explores the role of non-verbal communication in mabebasan performances, a traditional Balinese art. A qualitative approach was adopted to examine the non-verbal codes, particularly kinesics such as hand movements, body postures, and head gestures, and their cultural significance in enhancing the emotional expression and clarity of the narrative. Data was collected from 2 participants, including pangawacen (chants) and paneges/pangartos (translators), using semi-structured interviews and observation. The study found that hand gestures, body movements, and head gestures played crucial roles in expressing emotion, ensuring synchronization between performers, and conveying the narrative’s moral and emotional depth. Hand gestures helped to highlight key moments and connect with the audience, while body movements and head gestures facilitated role transitions and emphasized significant themes.

Abstract

Traditional teaching methods focused on imparting information often fail to optimize students' communicative abilities in second language acquisition, particularly English. This study explores the effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in enhancing language skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing observations and interviews with teachers and students in an English as a Second Language (ESL) learning context in Indonesia. Data collection focused on classroom dynamics, student-teacher interactions, and participants' experiences with CLT. The findings indicate that CLT positively impacts students’ language acquisition. Structured and supportive communication activities fostered significant improvements across all language domains. Students exposed to interactive and authentic communication exercises demonstrated enhanced confidence and proficiency in English. These results underscore the importance of integrating communication-focused methodologies in ESL education. The participatory nature of CLT encourages active engagement, enabling learners to apply language skills in real-life scenarios. Teachers reported that CLT activities also motivated students, promoting collaboration and practical use of language. This study highlights the efficacy of CLT in improving language skills and advocates for its broader adoption in teaching English as a second language in Indonesia. It suggests a shift from traditional, information-based methods to more dynamic, communication-centered approaches, emphasizing the value of student interaction in achieving language proficiency.
