Abstract

The importance of self-efficacy in enhancing students’ writing performance has been widely recognized, yet its specific impact on descriptive text writing remains underexplored in secondary education, especially within the EFL context. This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between self-efficacy and descriptive text writing performance among Grade X students at SMA Negeri 6 Seram Bagian Barat, Indonesia. Using a quantitative correlational design, the study collected data from 72 Grade X students through a self-efficacy questionnaire and a writing performance test. The results revealed that most students (84.7%) demonstrated moderate levels of self-efficacy, while their writing performance showed a broader distribution, with 45.8% achieving good performance and 18.1% demonstrating excellent writing skills. Statistical analysis indicated a weak but significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and writing performance (r = 0.297, p = 0.011). This finding suggests that while self-efficacy influences writing achievement, its impact may be moderated by other factors in the EFL context. The study contributes to understanding the complex relationship between psychological factors and writing performance in secondary EFL education, highlighting the need for comprehensive instructional approaches that address both cognitive and affective aspects of writing development. The findings have implications for EFL writing instruction and suggest directions for future research investigating mediating variables in the self-efficacy-writing performance relationship.

Abstract

Digital literacy has emerged as a critical competency in modern education, particularly in language education, where technological integration increasingly shapes learning experiences. Despite Indonesia's high internet penetration, the national digital literacy index remains concerningly low, highlighting a significant gap in technological educational readiness. This study aims to investigate digital literacy levels among English language education students, examining gender differences and perceived impacts on language skills through the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. Employing a quantitative survey design, the research collected data from 120 undergraduate students at Pattimura University using a validated 28-item questionnaire. Primary findings revealed comparable digital literacy levels between genders (male: 3.06, female: 3.04), with a notable disparity between evaluative and creative digital skills. Students demonstrated high confidence in selecting digital tools (3.07-3.16) but limited ability to explore applications independently (2.42), with the strongest perceived impact on listening skills (3.18) and weakest on reading comprehension (2.88). The study concludes that current digital literacy approaches require strategic interventions to develop more comprehensive technological competencies among pre-service English language educators, ultimately contributing to more effective technology integration in language teaching.

Abstract

English language learners encounter texts that extend beyond alphabetic modes, navigating advertisements, social media posts, and digital platforms where meaning emerges from linguistic, visual, audio, gestural, and spatial resources operating simultaneously. This narrative review synthesizes contemporary research examining the intersection of critical literacy and multimodal pedagogy in English language education, with particular attention to Asian EFL contexts. The review analyzed empirical studies organized thematically to examine how theoretical frameworks inform pedagogical practice, how implementations address contextual challenges, and how teacher education prepares educators for multimodal critical literacy instruction. Findings reveal that project-based, problem-based, digital storytelling, and genre-based approaches effectively develop critical multimodal literacy when combined with explicit metalinguistic instruction and appropriate scaffolding. Implementation challenges in Asian EFL contexts include language proficiency requirements, cultural considerations for critical engagement, gaps in teacher preparedness, and disparities in resource access. Technology integration studies demonstrate that digital platforms and AI tools expand possibilities for multimodal composition while requiring critical digital literacy frameworks. Assessment approaches have evolved from product-focused to process- and genre-based models that acknowledge the complexity of multimodality. Teacher education implications emphasize the need for professional development focused on semiotic awareness, multimodal pedagogical content knowledge, and critical orientations, with localized adaptations tailored to specific educational contexts. These insights underscore the importance of context-responsive pedagogy and sustained teacher learning for effectively implementing multimodal critical literacy across diverse EFL classrooms. Â
