Abstract

Climate change is a crucial topic to be included in the Grade 7 Junior High English book, highlighting its significance in educating students about the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to this global issue. This study focuses on conducting a need analysis related to the use of audiovisuals in learning climate change within the context of EFL classrooms as needs analysis will inform us what is suitable for 7th grade students who have just started learning English formally. Specifically, the research investigates the requirements of 7th-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Palembang for audiovisual resources to enhance climate literacy. Employing a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods such as questionnaires and interviews, the study uncovers students' strong desire to learn about climate change through audiovisuals. Moreover, it identifies a preference for audiovisual media over traditional text-based materials and highlights the support from teachers and stakeholders at MTs Negeri 2 Palembang for integrating climate change education into EFL teaching practices. In light of these findings, the researchers recommend the development of audiovisual resources tailored to facilitate the seamless integration of climate change education within EFL classrooms. Additionally, they advocate for teacher training to effectively utilize audiovisual media as an instructional tool. This study contributes significantly to climate change education by addressing the identified needs of both students and teachers, thereby guiding the design of effective instructional materials and teaching practices.

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the academic transition of Indonesian university students who graduated high school overseas from Qatar to Indonesia, specifically speaking about their experiences and challenges in the academic transition. The research implemented a qualitative design with a narrative approach to get in-depth information on the lives of everyone. This research involved 5 Indonesian university students who had stayed ten years or more in Qatar and studied in Indonesia. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview and documents of reflective writing as supporting data. The data were analyzed by using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that due to the academic transitions from one country to their homeland, the transition was difficult when comparing both education systems in Qatar and Indonesia. Furthermore, no additional classes, or orientation programs were effective in preventing the challenges they faced. The challenges were emotional anxiety, loss of the English language, and peer pressure. Fortunately, this transition phase was not static and could be fixed.

Abstract

Climate change demands urgent attention from both teachers and students. As pivotal agents of change, preservice teachers play a crucial role in shaping a generation that values and conserves the environment. This study investigated how academic background (mathematics/science vs. non-mathematics/science) influences preservice teachers' attitudes toward climate change and their value orientations. The study included 287 mathematics/science and 182 non-mathematics/science preservice teachers who completed a 50-item questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the gathered data. The findings indicated that academic background did not significantly influence preservice teachers' value orientations or attitudes toward climate change. This suggests the presence of other influential factors not examined in this study. Given these results, adopting a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to environmental education is imperative. Such an approach can better equip preservice teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively engage students in understanding and addressing climate change. Further research should focus on identifying these additional influencing factors. This will enable educators to refine environmental education strategies, fostering a future generation that values and actively contributes to environmental stewardship.

Abstract

Teaching English to first-grade elementary school children presents its own challenges for teachers. This is because children at this age have characteristics such as having a short attention span, enjoying playing, and learning more effectively when they are having fun. On the other hand, children in this group are still learning to read and write in the national language. The purpose of this research is to explore how English literacy learning is implemented, to find out the inhibiting and encouraging factors in implementing English literacy learning in first-grade elementary schools, and to find out strategies that can be used to overcome the factors that hinder the implementation of English literacy learning in the classroom. one elementary school. The design of this research is descriptive qualitative. The data sources in this research are first-grade elementary school English teachers, school students, and learning documents. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. Some of the results of this research are that teachers apply various methods in teaching, such as songs, drills, lectures, reading aloud, memorizing, and games. Among these learning strategies, songs are the most effective strategy for introducing English to children. The challenges faced are that children are very active, get bored quickly, and a small number of children do not read fluently. Factors that can support English literacy learning are adequate learning aids such as the use of pictures and parental involvement at home to repeat English lessons and practice them at home

Abstract

International mobility is a distinctive feature of the world of the 21st century. Individuals and their families are often moving due to business, job assignments, pursue further education etc. The children brought up in this mobility scenario are known as Third Culture Kids (TCKs). They are often exposed to different languages and cultures, what gives them unique abilities, but also brings numerous challenges. The objective of this article was to have a better understanding of TCKs living in Indonesia and what their journey of language acquisition in the country looked like. To answer these questions we collected data from 2 TCKs living in Indonesia, through interviews and artefacts using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the TCKs living in Indonesia are traditional TCKs according to Pollock & Recken’s framework of TCKs. Regarding to their journey of language acquisition the parents played an important role choosing schools and implementing a family language policies at home in order to teach them their first language, hence, parents language. However the TCKs chose to use English, as their first language due to the third culture environment they were surrounded with.

Abstract

English lessons are being used to teach about climate change, combining language learning with environmental education. This aligns with the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) framework, which focuses on character development and global awareness. This research investigates the integration of climate change education into the P5 Project and English language lessons in junior high schools in South Sumatra, Indonesia. It examines the familiarity and willingness of teachers to incorporate climate change topics into their teaching. The study uses a qualitative research design, conducting interviews with 11 English teachers to explore their perspectives and experiences. The findings reveal that while some schools have implemented projects that promote environmental awareness and sustainability, such as recycling initiatives, there is a lack of systematic integration of climate change education into the English curriculum. Teachers expressed a willingness to teach about climate change but lacked  formal training. The research highlights the need for comprehensive strategies to integrate environmental literacy into language learning and the importance of teacher preparation in effectively implementing climate change curricula. The study contributes to the understanding of how to enhance climate change education at the junior high school level, particularly in the context of South Sumatra, and emphasizes the role of teachers in fostering environmental stewardship among students.

Abstract

This study investigated the experiences of Indonesian students pursuing higher education in the United States, highlighting the importance of understanding their cultural adaptation, academic challenges, and social integration. Despite the significant presence of Indonesian students, comprehensive research addressing their unique experiences, and challenges in a new educational environment is limited. The study aims to understand their cultural adaptation, identify academic challenges, and examine strategies for social integration. A phenomenological qualitative approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with doctoral students to gather in-depth insights. Thematic analysis reveals that cultural adaptation is significantly influenced by language barriers, differing educational norms, and social dynamics. Participants reported academic challenges related to adjusting to critical thinking-based learning and independent study practices. Additionally, social integration is often complicated by cultural misunderstandings and the individualistic values prevalent in American society. To address these challenges, students employ strategies such as building support networks, engaging in campus activities, and utilizing institutional resources. This study underscores the necessity for proactive cultural engagement and institutional support to enhance international students' experiences and foster more inclusive educational environments.
