Abstract

This study explores the perspectives of Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang (UNIMEN) students on cross-cultural adaptation during their international internship in Thailand. Community service programs, which are mandatory for Indonesian tertiary students, offer practical experiences that bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application. This research focuses on the challenges and adaptation strategies employed by students participating in teaching practices at private Thai schools. Using a qualitative methodology and thematic analysis, data were collected through interviews with eight fifth-semester students majoring in English Language Education. The findings identify eight key challenges: administrative issues, health problems, psychological stress, social integration difficulties, teaching challenges, culture shock, language barriers, and inadequate facilities. Cultural barriers, such as differences in the education system and social norms, led to experiences of homesickness and stress. Language difficulties were particularly pronounced due to limited Thai and English proficiency among locals. To address these challenges, students adopted several strategies, including seeking social support, engaging in cultural learning, using sign language, and fostering communication with locals. These strategies helped alleviate culture shock, improve cross-cultural understanding, and enhance teaching effectiveness. The study underscores the importance of adequate preparation, including cultural learning modules, and provides valuable insights for universities to better support future participants in international community service programs.

Abstract

The aims of this study is to investigate the experiences of 12 Makassar University lecturers lecturers in planning and writing their English language teaching (ELT) textbooks. The results of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) revealed that, despite a number of pedagogical issues and challenges, these lecturers had a positive attitude toward writing their ELT textbooks, as revealed by an in-depth semi-structured individual interview (IDI) and a focus group discussion (FGD). They believed that creating teaching resources for their classes would not only help them meet their students' linguistic demands, but would also improve their lecturing experience. This article argues that writing a textbook for classroom use is a form of pedagogical reflective practice for lecturers that allows them to provide their students with appropriate activities and lessons for effective language teaching and learning, drawing on Tomlinson's notion of the importance of personalizing and localizing ELT textbooks to maximize students' learning. The findings' ramifications are addressed, and recommendations are made.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the forms and strategies of integrating Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in English learning in elementary schools, as well as identify opportunities and challenges that arise in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory study design. The research subjects consisted of six female English teachers who taught elementary school students in English course institutions. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The results show that teachers have implicitly integrated SEL principles in learning practice through various strategies, such as creating a positive and inclusive learning atmosphere, using collaborative activities such as games and storytelling, and providing positive reinforcement to foster students' empathy and confidence. SEL integration has been proven to open opportunities for strengthening social relationships between students, increasing learning motivation, and developing a more balanced character between cognitive and affective aspects. However, this study also found a number of challenges, including time constraints, the dominant focus on learning aspects, and the lack of teacher training in the systematic implementation of SEL. The results of this study confirm the importance of institutional support and the development of contextual SEL-based learning models in English learning at the elementary school level.

Abstract

Access to quality education in remote areas remains a global challenge, particularly in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). This study explores the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies in addressing educational disparities faced by students in rural communities in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A qualitative approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 12 teachers and 24 students from four public junior and senior high schools in isolated mountainous villages. Classroom observations were also conducted to triangulate the data. Thematic analysis revealed that cooperative learning enhanced studentsÔÇÖ critical thinking, encouraged active participation, and improved peer collaborationÔÇöespecially when supported by teacher facilitation, culturally relevant materials, and low-tech group projects. However, challenges such as limited access to learning materials, unstable electricity, and language diversity emerged as barriers. Students shared that working in groups helped them ÔÇ£grasp difficult topicsÔÇØ and ÔÇ£build confidence to express opinions.ÔÇØ The study underscores the potential of cooperative learning to reduce educational inequality in under served regions, while also highlighting the need for longitudinal research on the integration of emerging technologies such as AI and VR in remote settings. The findings provide practical recommendations for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders committed to inclusive and sustainable rural education aligned with SDG 4.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of weekly structured speaking routines (WSR) on the improvement of students' oral communication skills in an English language learning context. The primary aim was to assess whether these routines could enhance students' speaking fluency, confidence, and reduce speaking anxiety. A quasi-experimental design was employed, with pre-test and post-test assessments used to measure speaking proficiency before and after the intervention. Observational notes and surveys were also collected to provide qualitative insights into the students' experiences. The results indicated that weekly speaking routines significantly increased students' confidence in speaking English, with notable reductions in anxiety. Students reported enjoying the speaking activities, which encouraged active participation and peer interactions, fostering a more collaborative and supportive learning environment. However, while fluency improvements were acknowledged, the progress was less pronounced, indicating the need for additional fluency-focused interventions. The study found that structured speaking tasks helped students engage in discussions, express opinions, and use more complex language structures. This research contributes to the field by highlighting the importance of consistent, routine-based speaking practices in second language acquisition. It provides valuable insights for educators seeking to improve oral communication skills through structured speaking routines. Future research could focus on refining these routines to address specific challenges in fluency development and investigate long-term impacts on students’ language proficiency.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of multimedia presentations on these literacies within the English Education Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research measured improvements in students' skills through pre-test and post-test assessments, multimedia artifact evaluations, reflective journal entries, and lecturer observations. The results revealed significant enhancements in both linguistic and digital literacy, with students demonstrating improved language use and technical proficiency. Thematic analysis of journal entries highlighted skill development and challenges, emphasizing the importance of a supportive learning environment. Lecturer observations confirmed high levels of engagement and collaboration. The study underscores the need for innovative pedagogical frameworks and professional development for educators to effectively integrate multimedia tools. These findings contribute to the existing knowledge by demonstrating the potential of multimedia presentations to enhance educational outcomes and prepare students for the demands of the modern world. Future research should explore the long-term effects of multimedia tools on literacy development and consider cultural factors in educational strategies.
