Abstract

The concept of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) has gained significant attention in the field of education due to the widespread adoption of innovative technologies, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in online teaching. To effectively measure TPACK, the utilization of a well-designed and tailored questionnaire has emerged as a sophisticated approach. The aim of this research is to develop a questionnaire that is valid and reliable specifically for the context of online learning. In order to ensure the validity of the questionnaire, expert validation was conducted with three professionals from diverse backgrounds, including an Indonesian professor, a Ph.D. student, and a local education supervisor. By incorporating their recommendations, the questionnaire underwent revisions and refinements. Subsequently, the validity of the questionnaire was assessed by administering it to 43 participants across four Indonesian provinces: West Java, East Java, East Boneo, and West Nusa Tenggara. The findings indicated that the questionnaire demonstrated strong validity and reliability, making it a valuable tool for evaluating teachers' TPACK in online teaching environments. Statistical analysis using the SPSS 23.0 software confirmed the validity and reliability of all 24 questionnaire items, further endorsing its readiness for future research endeavors. Additionally, this questionnaire can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of teachers across different education programs, thereby enhancing its applicability and versatility. In conclusion, this study contributes to the field of online teaching by providing a robust instrument for assessing teachers' TPACK, facilitating targeted interventions and improvements in instructional practices.

Abstract

Pronunciation clarity is one of the most crucial aspects in mastering English for EFL learners, yet many students still struggle with phoneme articulation, word stress, and intonation. Preliminary observation at MA Birrul Walidain NW Rensing revealed that 11th-grade students frequently mispronounced phonemes such as /θ/ and /ð/, misplaced stress, and produced monotonous intonation, which hindered their intelligibility and confidence. This highlights the urgency of applying an effective and structured phonological training method to improve students’ pronunciation. The present study aimed to examine the impact of the Repeated Reading (RR) technique as a phonological practice tool to enhance pronunciation clarity. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design. The study was conducted at MA Birrul Walidain NW Rensing during the 2025/2026 academic year, involving 26 eleventh-grade students selected randomly into experimental (n=12) and control groups (n=14). Data were collected through pre-test and post-test oral reading tasks, assessed with a pronunciation rubric covering both segmental and suprasegmental features. The instrument was validated by two English teachers, and data were analyzed using SPSS through Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene’s test, Paired Sample t-Test, and Independent Sample t-Test. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean score increased from 9.00 to 12.58 (SD=2.49 to 2.30), with a mean difference of 3.58 (t=10.62, p=0.000). In contrast, the control group only improved from 9.00 to 9.64 (mean difference=0.64, t=1.64, p=0.125). Independent Sample t-Test confirmed a significant difference in post-test scores between groups (mean diff=2.94, t=2.83, p=0.009). These findings indicate that RR significantly enhances pronunciation clarity, particularly in phoneme accuracy, stress placement, intonation, and rhythm. Thus, repeated reading can be considered an effective strategy for EFL pronunciation instruction.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors contributing to students’ speaking anxiety and the types of anxiety experienced by Grade 11 students at SMA Tahfiz Al-Batthawi NWDI Kerongkong in the 2025/2026 academic year. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires from six students. The findings reveal four main factors causing speaking anxiety: limited vocabulary, difficulties in pronunciation, fear of making mistakes, and fear of negative evaluation. The study also identifies three types of anxiety: state anxiety, trait anxiety, and situation-specific anxiety. These findings highlight that speaking anxiety significantly hinders students’ confidence and performance in English learning. The results suggest that teachers should create supportive classroom environments and provide strategies to reduce anxiety, thereby encouraging students to participate more actively in speaking activities.

Abstract

This study examines junior high school students’ motivation in developing reading habits and identifies the supporting and hindering factors. A mixed-method design was applied, involving questionnaires completed by 64 students at SMPN 2 Sikur, as well as interviews and classroom observations. Findings revealed that most students demonstrated moderate (39.06%) to high (32.81%) levels of reading motivation, with an overall average of 3.15. Intrinsic factors, such as curiosity, enjoyment, and the desire for knowledge, emerged as the strongest drivers, while extrinsic factors, including encouragement from teachers and parents, played a role but inconsistently. Major obstacles included boredom, limited time, and difficulties in understanding texts, particularly in foreign languages. The school environment, such as poorly maintained libraries and the lack of literacy activities, was also found to be unsupportive. These results indicate that intrinsic motivation is crucial for fostering reading habits, yet it must be reinforced by external support and a conducive learning atmosphere. The study suggests revitalizing school literacy programs

Abstract

Writing is one of the most challenging skills for junior high school students, who often face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing them into coherent paragraphs, and applying correct grammar and vocabulary. Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) offers an alternative approach by linking classroom instruction with students’ real-life experiences, thus creating more meaningful and engaging learning activities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of CTL in teaching English writing, to identify the challenges encountered, and to explore the strategies used to overcome them. The research was conducted at SMPN SATAP 2 Aikmel with 15 seventh-grade students, consisting of 8 females and 7 males, who were selected through purposive sampling. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, with data collected through classroom observation, interviews, and documentation of students’ writing products. The findings indicate that the teacher applied CTL principles such as constructivism, inquiry, modeling, collaboration, reflection, and authentic assessment in teaching recount and descriptive texts. Students responded positively, showing greater motivation and confidence when writing tasks were connected to their personal experiences. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammar weaknesses, and time constraints still emerged. To address these, the teacher implemented scaffolding, modeling, peer collaboration, and authentic tasks, which helped students improve both writing skills and motivation. Overall, the study confirms that CTL is an effective framework for enhancing students’ writing ability and engagement in English learning.
