Abstract

Scholars and practitioners should be aware that writing a good and eye-catching abstract is significant but tough work. Scholars and researchers are challenged to produce an informative and persuasive abstract to be accepted then published in either national or international publication and they should know the current characteristics of abstracts written by the students or apprentice writers. The study aims at examining the comparison of discourse structure and linguistic features between English abstracts of research articles by Indonesian researchers and English abstracts of the thesis by Indonesian scholars. The corpus data were taken from 10 research articles abstracts of Indonesian researchers concerning English education published in ERIC and 10 thesis abstracts of the graduate program of English Education in UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Thus, a genre-based analysis proposed by Bhatia’s move structure and Swales’ and Feak’s move structure will be used to investigate the discourse structure and Paltridge starfields will be used to investigate linguistic features. The results indicated that 60% of abstracts published in the international journal were organized well while 40% of thesis abstracts were not organized well. Furthermore, past tenses were frequently used in both article abstracts and thesis abstracts in terms of aim, method, and result move. While present tense was still used in aim and result move in article abstracts. In conclusion, most abstracts published in international publications used well organizational move. While most abstracts published in local ones are not used well organizational move.Keywords: Discourse structure; linguistic features; research article abstracts; rhetorical move; thesis abstracts.

Abstract

Students can be motivated by making them aware of their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Guiding the student could include addressing the subject’s goals, the nature of the activities, and the techniques used to complete the tasks, including supporting them in determining the best ways to learn. Providing learning facilities indicates that the instructor should be able to facilitate and simplify learning. This is essentially characterized as creating and establishing suitable learning settings and providing learning resources. This piece of paper will emphasise a literature review on the KARDS Model as an alternative conceptualization for language training. The review is based on journal papers, conference proceedings, and book chapters that explore Kumaravadivelu's KARDS Model. The scope of this discussion is limited to the following points: (1) presenting Postmodernism as a relevant theoretical framework in the context of language teacher education and (2) presenting the KARDS model as an alternative conceptual outline that can help language teachers address teaching issues more effectively. This finding demonstrates that teachers must keep their knowledge, which serves as their academic medium of communication, up to date in order to survive in academic contexts. Their enhanced professional and personal knowledge is projected to lead to more positive perceptions. This distinction may be justified by the circulation of knowledge transfer and building, the routine exchange of knowledge, and academicians' access to the most recent results.Keywords: Alternative Approach, KARDS Model, and Language Education

Abstract

This study aims to determine the correlation between vocabulary mastery and listening comprehension among Grade XI students at MAN 2 Palu City. This study was motivated by the limited English vocabulary of students, which often affects their ability to accurately understand spoken English. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design to analyze the relationship between the two variables. The research sample consisted of 35 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through vocabulary tests, listening comprehension tests, and supporting questionnaires that measured students' perceptions and attitudes towards vocabulary mastery and listening comprehension in English language learning. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 with normality, linearity, and Pearson Product Moment correlation tests. The results showed a strong and significant positive correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and listening comprehension (r = 0.768, p = 0.000). These findings indicate that students with better vocabulary mastery tend to have higher listening comprehension. In addition, the questionnaire results also show a positive perception of English language learning, which supports student engagement and motivation. Thus, vocabulary mastery plays an important role in improving listening comprehension, and the integration of vocabulary learning into listening activities is recommended to improve students' English learning outcomes.

Abstract

Background: The rapid integration of digital technologies in secondary education has transformed English as a Foreign Language instruction, yet effective implementation remains uneven and highly contextual. While prior studies often focus on access or technological competence, less attention has been given to how teachers adapt pedagogically within real classroom conditions, particularly in regional Indonesian contexts. Aims: This study investigates how EFL teachers adapt their instructional practices in technology integrated classrooms, examining forms of implementation, contextual factors influencing adaptation, and teachers’ perceptions of instructional effectiveness. Methods: A qualitative multiple site case study was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Palu and SMA Alkhairaat Palu in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Ten EFL teachers were selected through purposeful sampling. Data were collected through semi structured interviews and classroom observations between March and May 2025. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s six phase framework, integrating inductive coding with theoretically informed interpretation. Results: The findings indicate that technology integration operates as a dynamic process of pedagogical negotiation rather than linear adoption. Teachers reorganized lesson structures, modified digital tasks in response to classroom contingencies, and recalibrated instructional decisions when facing infrastructural limitations. Professional experience influenced adaptive flexibility, with more experienced teachers demonstrating greater capacity for instructional redesign. Although digital tools enhanced student engagement, their effectiveness depended on deliberate scaffolding and pedagogical orchestration. Implications: This study advances a process-oriented understanding of pedagogical adaptation in technology-mediated EFL classrooms. The findings underscore the centrality of teacher agency and reflective judgment in sustaining meaningful digital learning environments. Professional development initiatives should therefore prioritize adaptive expertise and pedagogical reasoning rather than technical skill acquisition alone.

Abstract

The research investigated challenges faced by English teachers in West Aceh, Indonesia, emphasizing the importance of effective professional development. The focus was on the impact of Classroom-Based Assessment (CBA) and instructional coaching on English teachers' performance in secondary schools. Employing a mixed-method approach with questionnaires and tests, the study targeted English teachers in secondary schools in West Aceh, with a sample of 50 teachers from 25 schools. Results revealed that instructional coaching significantly improved teachers' proficiency in providing feedback, covering aspects like classroom administration and student engagement. Notably, statistical analysis using the One Sample T-test showed a substantial enhancement in English instructors' feedback skills (P = 0.000 < 0.05) through instructional coaching. These findings had wide implications for the professional growth of English teachers in Aceh, with global relevance. The research contributes to the field of teacher professional development by providing empirical evidence on the effectiveness of integrating Classroom-Based Assessment with structured instructional coaching to strengthen feedback literacy among English teachers in secondary education. It also offers a contextualized model that can inform policy design, coaching frameworks, and sustainable professional learning programs in similar developing educational settings. The study suggested that instructional coaching was a powerful strategy to enhance teachers' feedback capabilities, positively impacting student outcomes. Teachers could draw valuable insights from this research to refine teaching methodologies and improve student learning experiences.
