Abstract

Critical literacy (CL) emphasizes the analysis of texts to understand power dynamics and promote social justice, helping students challenge established norms. However, further research is needed on its integration into the English curriculum for Indonesian university students. This case study explores the strategies used by an EFL teacher to foster CL development among 28 student-teachers at an Indonesian university through narrative texts. Data was gathered through classroom observations, students' reflective journals, and interviews, and thematically analyzed. Findings revealed that the teacher applied strategies such as "reader as code breaker," "reader as meaning maker," "reader as text user," and "reader as text analyst." Additionally, the Four Resources Model of CL enhanced students' abilities, particularly in meaning-making and text critique. Practical implications for curriculum design suggest that integrating CL strategies into the EFL curriculum can encourage students to engage more critically with texts, fostering deeper understanding and social awareness. For teacher training, this study highlights the importance of equipping educators with strategies for facilitating critical literacy in diverse classroom settings. The study advocates for a systematic integration of CL in EFL curricula across Indonesian higher education to enhance the quality of English programs and prepare students for more active participation in global discourse.

Abstract

Critical literacy is essential to be implemented in this 21st-century education. However, the implementation of it remains underexplored, especially in the Indonesian context. This study aims to investigate the implementation of critical literacy in teaching exposition texts and its impacts on students' critical language awareness. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research involved an English teacher and thirty-six tenth-grade students of a public senior high school in one district in West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations. The data were analyzed using deductive thematic analysis based on the four-dimension framework of critical literacy and the five-step guided instructional approach as the guideline. Findings indicated that the teacher has successfully implemented the critical literacy strategies in teaching exposition texts. Furthermore, the practices enhanced students’ critical language awareness by encouraging analytical text evaluation. However, there were two main challenges, particularly in engaging with socio-political issues and taking action since both the teacher and students were still unfamiliar with the discussion of sensitive issues. The study highlights the practical and pedagogical benefits of critical literacy in underrepresented educational settings, contributing to the preparation of a globally competitive and socially aware generation.

Abstract

Literacy instruction is frequently restricted to word decoding and literal meaning understanding in many EFL contexts, especially in early education. This study addresses the necessity of shifting towards critical literacy methods that enable young learners to engage with texts from a variety of perspectives. The aim of this research is to investigate how the Four Resources Model by Luke and Freebody (1999) can be applied to develop critical literacy skills in English Young Learners (EYL) through the use of folklore as a learning medium. The study, which used a qualitative case study methodology, was carried out in an Indonesian seventh-grade classroom. Semi-structured interviews and classroom observations were used to gather data. The results show that combining culturally relevant folktales with the Four Resources Model-code breaker, text participant, text user, and text analyst improved students' vocabulary, grammatical awareness, and capacity to consider the social values and ideologies expressed in texts. The study shows that with the help of organised, context-rich training, young students can go from basic comprehension to critical interpretation.

Abstract

In response to the growing need for critical literacy in adolescent English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, this study investigates how scaffolding techniques support junior high school students in navigating complex social texts and expressing critical perspectives through writing. While the concept of critical literacy is well-established, its classroom application in Indonesian EFL contexts remains limited, particularly with younger learners and genre-based instruction.This single case study employed a qualitative approach, incorporating classroom observations and three rounds of semi-structured interviews to examine how an experienced EFL teacher in a South Jakarta junior high school implemented scaffolding strategies during a biography writing project on Vincent van Gogh. The research was guided by Lewison et al.’s four dimensions of critical literacy, alongside established models of instructional scaffolding. The analysis identified four key scaffolding types: procedural scaffolding supported students in organizing content and mastering genre conventions; motivational scaffolding sustained engagement and encouraged creative risk-taking; conceptual scaffolding introduced abstract themes such as justice and identity; and metacognitive scaffolding facilitated students’ reflection on texts and their own perspectives. Among these, metacognitive scaffolding emerged as the most impactful, enabling students to examine diverse viewpoints and connect personal insights with broader sociopolitical issues. These findings underscore the importance of responsive, differentiated instruction in fostering critical engagement among adolescent EFL learners. The study contributes a pedagogically grounded model that integrates language development with reflective inquiry, offering practical implications for educators and curriculum designers aiming to cultivate social awareness and ethical reasoning in language classrooms.

Abstract

Textbooks play a crucial role in EFL learning as a bridge between curriculum objectives and classroom practices. However, a growing body of research indicates that many EFL textbooks remain insufficient in facilitating the learning process, particularly in fostering learner autonomy (LA). This qualitative case study aimed to investigate what LA-supportive features are represented in the instructional content of the textbook When English Rings A Bell (WERAB) and explored teachers' and students’ perspectives on the textbook role in promoting LA. The study involved two English teachers and two Grade VII students from a public junior high school in Indonesia. Data were collected through document analysis and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using content analysis and cyclical coding. The results indicate that textbook WERAB instructions predominantly aligned with lower levels of LA, namely awareness and involvement, while rarely fostering higher-order autonomy such as creation or transcendence. Moreover, teachers and students perceived the textbook instructions as monotonous, lacking scaffolding, overly directive, and offering limited multimodal texts. Students’ language barriers also led teachers to overuse L1, reinforcing their reliance on translation. This study underscores the need for improved instructional design that incorporates autonomy-supportive principles and stronger pedagogical frameworks for more effective future classroom practices.

Abstract

English literacy education in rural Papua, Indonesia, presents unique challenges shaped by geographical isolation, ethnolinguistic diversity, and limited resources. While previous studies have examined EFL teaching challenges in Indonesia, little research has explored how teachers' pedagogical beliefs interact with contextual constraints in rural settings. This study investigates the nexus between English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ beliefs and classroom practices in resource-constrained environments. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from X teachers through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal a persistent gap between teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and their ability to implement them due to contextual constraints, including inadequate teaching materials and a rigid national curriculum. Teachers who incorporated local cultural elements, such as Papuan folktales and proverbs, into their lessons demonstrated higher student engagement and improved literacy outcomes. These culturally responsive practices bridge students’ linguistic realities and the English literacy curriculum, fostering a deeper connection to the learning process. However, systemic barriers, including insufficient professional development and the absence of culturally relevant teaching materials, limit the broader adoption of these practices. This study underscores the need for flexible curricula that integrate local cultural content and calls for increased institutional support to equip teachers in rural areas. Addressing these challenges is crucial for improving English literacy education in rural, multilingual contexts, ensuring equitable learning opportunities for all students.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the practice of critical listening in higher education. This investigation involves fourth-semester students in the English Education Department of an Indonesian public state institution. This research utilized a qualitative case study. This study's data were collected using a triangulation method incorporating classroom observation, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. In this research, the data were analyzed thematically. According to the data analysis, students benefited from implementing critical listening in the classroom because the critical listening practice focused on essential listening competencies, helped them develop critical thinking, and promoted critical listening in the classroom. Students believed that critical listening aids in developing their language skills and allows them to exercise critical thinking skills that have yet to be covered in class. The findings of this study can provide educators with a starting point for implementing critical listening with EFL students. In other words, the findings may cast light on implementing critical listening, including the general benefits and challenges students encounter.

Abstract

The incorporation of critical pedagogy (CP) principles in the teaching of English as a foreign language (TEFL) in Indonesia has been promoted since the last two decades. However, research on how Indonesian EFL teachers view the CP principles are rarely conducted. This case study aims to discover the perceptions of 30 Indonesian EFL teachers teaching in different levels of education and having various educational backgrounds and diverse degree of familiarity regarding the four CP principles. The data for this study were collected by distributing questionnaires and conducting interviews. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and by transcribing, tabulating, coding, categorizing, interpreting, comparing, and concluding. It is evident from the participants’ viewpoints, among the four principles, dialogue and problem-posing are the two most desirable as well as applicable ones. Additionally, in practicing the four principles, the participants claimed that they performed twelve categories of classroom activities. Considering the findings of this study, more training and research on critical EFL pedagogy are recommended.
