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

In today’s interconnected world, fostering intercultural understanding and language acquisition among young learners is increasingly vital. Online exchange programs have emerged as accessible alternatives to traditional exchanges, enabling students to interact globally and build intercultural competencies. This qualitative case study explores the perspectives of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers and students engaged in an intensive international online exchange program organized by With The World Incorporation, Japan. The study aimed to identify challenges faced by participants and the strategies employed to overcome them, offering a holistic understanding of the online exchange experience. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, involving one teacher, a program coordinator, and actively participating students. Thematic analysis revealed challenges such as technical and connectivity issues, language proficiency barriers, sustaining engagement, scheduling conflicts, and cultural differences. Despite these obstacles, the program proved effective through proactive planning, strong technical and logistical support, psychologically safe and task-based pedagogy, engaging content, and continuous feedback. These findings align with established theories, including the digital divide, foreign language anxiety, and self-determination theory. The study highlights how adaptive strategies can transform barriers into opportunities to enhance English proficiency, promote intercultural understanding, and develop global competencies. The results provide practical implications for educators and program designers, emphasizing dynamic content, adaptive teaching approaches, and feedback mechanisms to optimize future online exchange initiatives.

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Teachers have different backgrounds, and their opinions regarding "creative teaching" or "good teaching" methods are frequently shaped by a range of elements, such as their own teaching experiences, personal incentives, and organizational limitations. This setting frames teachers' initial attempts to cultivate creative practices, and their recognition of these effects influences their subsequent level of creativity. The goal of this research is to discover the characteristics that influence English language teaching (ELT) teachers' creativity. Researchers interviewed six English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers to learn more about the elements that drive their passion and creativity in the classroom. Researchers discovered that teachers' motivation, technology, school support, colleagues, and teaching knowledge and experience all had an impact on their creativity. Teachers can use these five aspects as guidelines to help them incorporate creativity into their lessons. Participants also believed that their creativity was required to inspire creativity in students, make learning fun, and support their learning. The quickly evolving potential of digital environments to support student-centered and self-directed learning seems to contribute to this belief. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that teachers do not naturally possess creativity, but they may cultivate it by adopting new ideas and improving their creative teaching skills.

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.
