Abstract

Research has shown that effective online teacher professional development (OTPD) requires teachers to learn and engage professionally to become high-quality teachers. Understanding teachers' engagement as learners in OTPD is crucial as such engagement indicates active learning, interaction, and collaboration with other teachers. Nevertheless, there has not been any instrument measuring how teachers behave (behavioral), feel (emotional), think (cognitive), and socialize (social). Therefore, the goal of the present study was to create a context-specific survey instrument to measure the engagement of EFL teachers in OTPD. This study, using the research and development (R&D) method,   involved 385 Indonesian in-service EFL teachers in nine universities conducting OTPD in Indonesia. The statistical results of explanatory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) confirmed the four-dimensional construct in the OTPD Learner Engagement Instrument, mainly behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and social dimensions of engagement. The study's policy and practical implications addressing the policymakers, institutions, and future research were also presented.

Abstract

Extensive reading (ER) should be implemented properly based on ER principles. The most known ER principles is ten ER principles proposed by Bamford and Day that are widely referred by ER practitioners around the globe. Unfortunately, these principles are not always implemented in ER classes, even in ELT study program in university. Related to it, ER classes in a university in Indonesia were reported to not conducted ER enthusiastically. It was suspected that it occurred because of lecturers’ confusion on what to do in their ER classes due to their insufficient comprehension of ER and its principles which eventually reduce pleasure which supposed to be existing in ER classes. Based on that suspicion, this study focused on investigating the lecturers’ familiarity on ER principles and the implementation of ER principles regarding the expectation to conduct pleasurable ER classes. The data were collected through in-dept interviews to lecturers and questionnaire to students. This study found that not all of the lecturers have adequate knowledge on ER principles which eventually hindered them to teach ER properly and pleasurably. It was also revealed that pressure was felt by both students and lecturers. The pressure increased when the ER involved rigid assignment and assessment.

Abstract

Facing globalization era, students tend to learn English informally. However, among the enormous studies on the use of informal learning, it was still inconclusive whether the time spent students dealt with their gadget really connected to English proficiency. This paper examines informal learning frequency in the area of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), particularly its contribution to students’ English proficiency. The study focuses on the discussions of time spent that students engage through English learning by the navigation of the digital application as part of informal learning. Correlation study was employed as the research design by collecting the data from 302 Indonesian university students through a survey. The findings showed positive yet low level of correlation, but reflect a description that students who preserve more time in the informal learning engagements made better improvement to English proficiency. The results of the study convinced that the frequent engagement with high agency of learning goal commitment is essential for achieving better English proficiency. Additionally, it adds an insight into how informal learning high frequency can make a unique contribution to EFL learners’ overall English outcomes and determine how teachers can provide necessary support to acknowledge the emerging progress of technology in education and modify their classroom practice through technology-enhanced language teaching with the intention of encouraging students’ autonomous learning with technology into language learning opportunities outside the classroom in order to enrich pedagogical insight of how informal digital learning can complement in-class and out-of-class learning.

Abstract

A community of inquiry can help students increase engagement that supports English language acquisition. The community- inquiry provides students not only with cognitive but also social intelligence. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the perceptions of sophomores' verbal and written feedbacks on freshmen’s writing. This small-scale study examined 25 students attending an Intensive English Course in the English Literature Department at Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. It involved sophomores providing verbal and written feedbacks on freshmen's writing, reflecting the implementation of a community of inquiry. The study employed a case study method, using three types of questionnaires to gather students' opinions on sophomores' written feedbacks, their perceptions of the verbal feedbacks, and their descriptive writing competence following the feedback process. The study revealed that both the sophomores' verbal and written feedbacks were beneficial for improving the freshmen's writing skills. Furthermore, the process of receiving feedbacks also appeared to enhance the students' confidence in their writing.Verbal and written feedback from the sophomores not only clarifies the aspects for the improvement of the composition but also improves the freshmen’s self-confidence to write better. The feedbacks are effective since the students are of the same age, the freshmen can relate better, and the feedback they receive matches their style. However, this type of mentorship also has drawbacks because the sophomores’ knowledge is limited, so the input they can provide is also limited.  Therefore, it is suggested that English lecturers take advantage of sophomores' verbal and written feedbacks to assist freshmen in developing their writing skills.

Abstract

Critical pedagogy can be reflected in the situation when the learners become social transformers of their community and world, and when they critically construct knowledge. The prior researchers s only evaluated discrepancies in gender and age. Freire and Brown's framework also verified the feasibility and reliability of implementing CDP.  However, general skills and unspecific digital tools drove the reader's bias and ambiguity. Consequently, the purposes of the study aim to connect previous topics in different contexts, addressing the gap and providing a critical analysis. Especially, English lectures in certain skills and specific digital tools would be needed to know critical pedagogy's intentional implementation or unintentional presence in the ELT realm. Three concerns were highlighted to guide the researchers to do the research; the essential aspect of pedagogy that has and has not been involved yet in online learning and the factors of age and gender that might influence the learning. Th researchers s used qualitative method, especially observation and questionnaire instruments to get the data of the incorporation of the Discord tool of critical pedagogy in the higher education domain. The findings reveals that the implementation a critical pedagogy of Discord tool and the discrepancies of age and gender that influence the online meeting.

Abstract

Writing at the university level presents significant challenges for EFL students. Although many studies have investigated EFL students’ academic writing challenges, few have focused specifically on paragraph writing, the foundational stage of academic writing development among first-year university students, particularly those transitioning from high school to university writing. Addressing this gap, this present study investigates students’ writing challenges, strategies, and their perceptions of differences and feedback. A total of 315 first-year Indonesian EFL students enrolled in the English study programs were selected through convenience sampling to complete a Likert-scale questionnaire adapted from the ESLP 82 Questionnaire. The findings reveal idea organization as the most prominent difficulty (M = 4.4; 83.5% agree), followed by issues of grammar and sentence structures (M = 4.3; 78.9% agree). Whereas, 85,7% students answered that university writing is more complex than high school writing activities, because it is needed a higher level of critical thinking, as 88,2% students acknowledged. As many as 80.8% students like to discuss with their teachers about their writing difficulties, and 89.5% prefer to use digital tools such as Grammarly and ChatGPT. At about 89,4% students stated that teacher feedback on grammar was considered helpful, but students rarely got peer feedback. These findings emphasize the urgent need for structured writing support that focuses on idea organization, grammar, vocabulary enhancement, and opportunities for peer interaction. To explore effective pedagogical interventions and the evolving role of digital tools in supporting academic writing development, further studies are highly recommended.

Abstract

This study aims to explore in depth the experiences of English teachers at Situbondo High School in implementing Student-Centered Learning (SCL). The focus covers three things: (1) the extent to which SCL principles are applied, (2) the benefits and challenges experienced by teachers during the implementation process, and (3) teacher strategies to maximize the benefits and overcome these challengesEmploying a sequential explanatory mixed-method design, quantitative data were collected from 33 English teachers through questionnaires, while qualitative data were gathered through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with six teachers selected based on their implementation levels. The results indicate that the overall implementation of SCL was moderate to high level, reflecting teachers’ growing adaptation to student-centered practices. Among the seven principles, Teacher as Facilitator (M = 3.58) gained the highest scores, while Collaborative Learning (M = 2.99) and Balance of Power (M = 3.01) remained the lowest score but still in the high category. Some benefits were mentioned by teachers, including increased student motivation, confidence, involvement, and teamwork. However, a number of issues surfaced, such as time constraints, inadequate student preparation for independent learning, and a lack of media. To address these problems, teachers used a variety of strategies, including encouraging intrinsic motivation, providing students autonomy, integrating project-based and peer-tutoring activities, and utilizing technology to enhance instruction. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on SCL pedagogy in Asian EFL contexts and provides practical insights into effective strategies for optimizing SCL in secondary education.

Abstract

Extensive reading (ER) is an instructional approach to reading pedagogy that helps to encourage students to engage in a large amount of reading without being burdened by the concept of being assessed. The purpose of this study is to investigate university-level students’ perceptions of how the implementation of extensive reading inside their classroom and their suggestions about the implementation of extensive reading inside their classroom. Qualitative research was used as the design of this study, consisting of 3 freshman students of one University in Malang, East Java, Indonesia, as the participants. The research data was collected through interviews of those students, and the interview was recorded and transcribed by the researcher. The data was analyzed using narrative analysis based on the data collected from the interview conducted before. The analyses revealed that students’ perceptions towards the implementation of extensive reading are mostly positive, and students suggested that the task should be changed or removed. The study provides implications for the lecturer to carefully implement extensive reading as an approach to help students learn to read and build their reading habits. The lecturers should also sufficiently analyze and implement the characteristics of extensive reading in order to fully optimize the implementation of extensive reading in the classroom.
