Abstract

Due to their important role of a skilled and productive workforce for the nation's economy and progress, vocational high school graduates need special attention and efforts to improve their quality, including the English communication skill to support the mastery of their area of expertise. Their English mastery is greatly influenced by their mastery of vocabulary. So, developing mastery of English vocabulary needs to be done with various efforts, including utilizing information technology services in the form of mobile phone-based learning materials. In line with this, this research was aimed at conducting needs analysis on developing such materials.  The data were collected by using three questionnaires distributed to 76 students of Mechanical Engineering of vocational high schools, 13 English teachers from 6 vocational high schools, and 7 respondents who were vocational high school graduates in five districts/cities in Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research employed the quantitative (descriptive statistics) and qualitative data analysis (interactive analysis techniques). The results of data analysis, which included the list of required vocabulary, forms of activities, and other aspects that reflected the ways how the materials were presented, were then used as a basis for preparing the syllabus, grid, and initial draft of teaching materials.The data also included the types of services offered by the mobile-phone learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) technique in enhancing students' critical thinking skills and to explore students' perceptions of its application in speaking classes. Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on Kurt Lewin's model, the study followed the steps of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The research was conducted with 30 second-grade students (12 male and 18 female) from SMAN, Aceh, Indonesia, in the 2023/2024 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection methods included classroom observations, questionnaires, and student interviews, with the analysis carried out using descriptive and qualitative statistics. The findings indicated a significant improvement in students' critical thinking skills, as shown by the increase in performance from Cycle 1 (66.6%) to Cycle 2 (70%). Moreover, the results of the questionnaires demonstrated that students responded positively to the TPS technique. Therefore, the study concludes that the TPS technique effectively promotes critical thinking skills in speaking classes, offering cognitive and engagement benefits.

Abstract

This study aims to address the need to promote the integration of Pancasila student profile values—specifically independence, critical thinking, and creativity—into listening-speaking supplementary materials for grade VII students at a state junior high school in Kolaka Utara. By understanding the target needs and learning needs, this research seeks to develop listening-speaking supplementary materials that are appropriate for promoting both English language proficiency and Pancasila values. This research employs a research and development (R&D) approach in education, utilizing the well-known ADDIE development model. Data collection methods included qualitative interviews and document analysis, as well as quantitative questionnaires. The needs analysis results indicated that students required materials for learning descriptive text in oral form but faced challenges with word pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary expansion, and understanding spoken information. Consequently, students desired materials that improved their vocabulary and pronunciation with an emphasis on multimedia elements. The listening-speaking supplementary materials integrated the values in implicitly and explicitly. These materials consisted of six units following a genre-based approach and used authentic materials with technology integration. The appropriateness of these materials was demonstrated through positive feedback from students and teachers, who found them engaging, well-aligned with learning objectives, relevant, and sufficient in exercises and tasks. Expert judgment rated the materials with a mean score of 3.9, categorized as “very appropriate” within the range of 3.26 < x ≤ 4.00. Furthermore, this research contributed to developing educational resources, and it is expected that students can engage with good value in their future lives.

Abstract

Project-based learning (PjBL) has been widely applied in English language education, yet its classroom implementation often presents considerable challenges for teachers. This qualitative study investigates these challenges in teaching writing and presenting skills within the context of the Merdeka Curriculum, where integrated skills are emphasized as key learning outcomes. Four English teachers who have actively applied PjBL participated in the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and an open-ended questionnaire, which were analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s framework to enhance trustworthiness. Triangulation techniques were employed during data collection and analysis. The findings revealed several challenges, with the most critical being the limited facilities and unequal access to resources, as well as the complexities of assessing group projects. These findings underscore the importance of professional development, curriculum support, and institutional policy in enabling EFL teachers to teach writing and presentation skills through PjBL effectively. Addressing these challenges can improve the sustainability of PjBL practice and foster students’ engagement and skills development in English language learning.
