Abstract

Every child born regardless of physical and mental condition has the right to receive a proper education. The right to education is a basic right that must be obtained by all children, including children with special needs. Recently, special need students can not only receive education through special schools but they can attend public schools side by side with regular students. The teacher's treatment in delivering material to special need students is certainly not the same as the treatment to regular students. Special assistant teachers have a very important role in assisting material to special need students. This research aims to examine the strategies used by teachers in delivering material, as well as the challenges and expectations in learning English for students with special needs. The research method used was direct interviews and surveys. The respondents are special assistant teachers and special need students. The results show that special assistant teachers have several teaching strategies. Although they face many challenges in applying the strategies, they can achieve the desired expectations. The strategies used show their effectiveness. It can be proven by the ability of special need students to apply the material received and put it into practice.

The school and the community service team conducted an intensive and interesting training to determine the effectiveness of communicating in English with roleplay methods, demonstrations, and the use of learning media. The use of appropriate learning media is very important in improving the English speaking skills of SMK teachers, both in the area of hard skills and soft skills, so that they can provide more effective and efficient teaching to students and prepare them to face the increasingly globalized world of work. The training was conducted six times at SMK in Malang City and was attended by 24 teachers. For the posttest, they did a speech in English. The training resulted in seventeen teachers, or 70.8%, who could communicate in English, and seven teachers (29.2%) still did not meet the minimum score of 70. The active involvement of the teachers and the positive responses from the teachers in communicating in English, as well as the support from the school, could trigger their motivation to learn and speak. Thus, it is suggested that the next activity can provide various materials and be carried out regularly.

Abstract

Abstrak: Kemampuan berbicara dalam Bahasa Inggris menjadi perhatian pengurus pondok An Nahdlah Malaysia, untuk bisa dikuasai oleh para santri. Sehingga tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan para santri dalam berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris. Pelatihan ini diikuti sebanyak duapuluh lima santri dan dilakukan dalam tiga tahap: persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Sehingga penggunaan metode ceramah, Focus Group Discussion dan praktik digunakan dalam pelatihan ini. Di samping itu, terciptanya modul pembelajaran pidato dalam Bahasa Inggris untuk santri, juga setelah diadakan posttest dengan cara mereka melakukan pidato dalam Bahasa Inggris, sehingga menghasilkan delapanbelas santri atau 72% yang mampu berbicara dalam Bahasa Inggris secara lancar. Selain itu, tujuh santri (28%) yang lainnya sudah bisa berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris yang nantinya bisa ditingkatkan kemampuannya menjadi mahir jika pelatihan ini bisa berkelanjutan. Tujuh santri tersebut belum lancar, karena tiga faktor penghambat yakni materi belajar, waktu dan kedisiplinan. Sehingga disarankan untuk kegiatan pelatihan berikutnya bisa memberikan materi yang sesuai dengan kemampuan dan yang dibutuhkan oleh para santri, serta pelatihan ini bisa dilaksanakan secara rutin dan peserta memiliki komitmen untuk belajar. Serta, pentingnya melibatkan pengurus pondok pesantren dalam program ini.Abstract: The ability to speak in English is a concern of the board of An Nahdlah Malaysia, to be mastered by the students. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to improve the ability of santri to communicate in English. This training was attended by twenty-five santri and was conducted in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Thus, the use of lectures, Focus Group Discussion and practice methods were used in this training. In addition, the creation of a speech learning module in English for santri, also after a posttest was held by conducting a speech in English, eighteen santri, or 72%, were able to speak in English fluently. In addition, seven other santri (28%) can communicate in English which can later be improved to become proficient if this training can be sustainable. The seven santri are not yet fluent due to three inhibiting factors, namely learning materials, time and discipline. Therefore, it is suggested that the next training activities can provide material that is in accordance with the abilities and needs of the santri, as well as this training can be carried out regularly and participants have a commitment to learning. Also, it is important to involve the boarding school administrators in this program.

Abstract

The significance of deixis expression within the English language context, particularly within the spoken form, is crucial for the further examination of deixis as a specific area of pragmatics in order to enhance the theory and practice of verbal communication development. Thus, this recent investigation aimed to assess the presence of deixis in the Oxford junior secondary English webinar conducted by Icy Lee from a pragmatics and discourse analysis perspective. The researchers employed a qualitative research approach and adopted a descriptive analysis method. The data were acquired from a webinar video available on the YouTube channel and website of the Oxford junior secondary English webinar. The transcripts were meticulously analyzed and evaluated based on Levinson’s (1983) theory. In summary, the findings uncovered that Icy Lee’s webinar exhibited five classifications of deixis: person, time, social, discourse, and place deixis. Notably, person deixis was the most frequently utilized category, accounting for 223 utterances (48%). Each deictic expression possesses a diverse significance contingent upon the speech context. However, certain implications were still brought to light in this current investigation, and it is anticipated that subsequent researchers will explore the webinar in alternative contexts.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of teacher and peer written corrective feedback (WCF) on Indonesian senior high school students’ writing performance. A total of 71 Indonesian senior high school students from Grade X participated in this study; 36 were provided teacher WCF and 35 peers WCF. To collect and data, the participants were asked to write a legend essay. Using qualitative data analysis, we aimed to reveal the effectiveness of teacher and peer WCF in improving students’ writing performance. Adapted scoring rubric was employed to measure students’ overall writing performance, and competencies in relation to writing components such as content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. The results revealed that peer WCF can better enhance students’ writing abilities compared to teacher WCF. Furthermore, students who received teacher WCF showed substantial improvement in performance relating to all writing components except mechanics. In contrast, peer WCF enhanced students’ organization and vocabulary related performance. HIGHLIGHTS: Peer WCF is more effective than teacher WCF in enhancing Indonesian senior high school students’ writing performance, especially in writing legend texts. Teacher WCF helped significantly improve four components of writing competence: content, organization, vocabulary, and language, while peer WCF positively impacted organization and vocabulary components. Combining both teacher and peer WCF could be more beneficial in improving students’ writing achievement than either type of WCF alone.

Abstract

Studies on English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ identity construction have been extensively investigated in recent years. However, the previous studies exclusively focused on teachers in higher education and neglected Global Englishes (GE) concept as a mediator in identity construction. Therefore, to fill this lacuna, the current narrative research study explored the identity construction of 10 Indonesian EFL secondary school teachers in the Global Englishes era. The data were gathered through in-depth interviews and observations and were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis. Findings were elaborated into six emerging themes; they were 1) teachers’ perspectives of Global Englishes, 2) the goal of teaching English, 3) native speaker fallacy, 4) the use of mother tongue, 5) the use of Western cultures, and 6) the use of international English textbooks. Based on the investigation, the teachers echoed multiple identities as English teachers vis-à-vis the Global Englishes era. Although they are aware of such an issue, their tenets to adhere to the practice of native speaker fallacy are still strongly held. In other words, our study revealed a perceptual mismatch among the teachers with regard to their identities in a Global Englishes era.

This qualitative study employs narrative inquiry to investigate the challenges and coping strategies of T1, an EFL teacher at an Islamic private elementary school, returning to teaching after a hiatus. Through unstructured interviews, it examines the changes in T1's teaching approach before and after the break, uncovering unique challenges and adaptive strategies. The research reveals T1's struggle with readjustment, curriculum changes, and lesson planning without standard textbooks. To navigate these challenges, T1 utilized familial support, embraced technological resources for professional growth, and innovatively combined traditional and modern teaching methods. These findings emphasize the importance of continuous professional development, adaptability, and robust support systems in enhancing the reintegration process for EFL teachers. The study contributes valuable insights into the EFL field, highlighting the need for resources and strategies to support teachers like T1 in transitioning back to the classroom. This research not only sheds light on the specific challenges faced by returning EFL teachers but also underscores the critical role of support systems and professional development in maintaining high-quality EFL education.

The primary objective of this program is to improve teachers’ professional knowledge and skills in planning and implementing learning activities that integrate international business correspondence and cross-border communication. The implementation method involved an initial assessment through open-ended interviews to identify existing challenges and the teachers’ level of understanding, followed by an intensive workshop emphasizing content reinforcement and practical exercises in professional correspondence, and concluded with a final assessment using open-ended questionnaires to evaluate competency development after the program. This activity engaged 10 English teachers from local vocational high schools, of whom approximately 80% were found to have limited understanding of the concepts and practical applications of the targeted material. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills, particularly in terms of understanding standard formats, using professional language, and recognizing the importance of developing international business communication competencies for SMK students. Therefore, this program has proven valuable in strengthening the professional capacity of English teachers and is recommended to be conducted continuously to ensure the relevance of English instruction in vocational schools with the evolving dynamics of global industry needs.Keywords: English Skill; International Business Correspondence; Teacher Development; SMK; EFL.
