Abstract

Teacher professional development is an ongoing process. Standing on the frontline in implementing educational policies, teachers are encouraged to actualize both theoretically, policies, and practices. One way to improve the professionalism of a teacher is reflection through an academic forum so as to enrich the inquiry obtained in order to improve individual professionalism. This is an ongoing research involving English teachers in East Java members of the ELT Best Practices academic forum. The goal is to elaborate two basic things, namely the motivation of teachers in their involvement in academic forums and how academic forums can help them in conducting self-reflection in order to increase professionalism. Almost all teachers say that increasing professionalism as an English teacher is the main motivation. In detail, several aspects that are the focus of improvement are language skills, teaching techniques, the renewal of language teaching theories, and increasing networking among English teacher professions. With diverse backgrounds ranging from English teachers in middle and high school (or similar), the academic forum is considered important to help the teachers upgrade their knowledge and professionalism.

Abstract

Textbooks are essential for teaching and learning English. Cultural material is important in English textbooks since language and culture are inseparably linked. Curriculum changes are common in the Indonesian educational system, prompting textbook modifications, including those for English language materials. Recognizing that each textbook has unique advantages and limitations, this study investigates the cultural categories offered in the English textbook BRIGHT. It also tries to determine the primary cultural characteristics featured in this textbook. The study used a content analysis methodology, which involved carefully reviewing the textbook's material using an observation sheet. This study utilizes a qualitative design, focusing on textbook content analysis and documenting results as percentages. The findings show that the textbook focuses on source cultures with insufficient representation of target cultures. This limited representation emphasizes the need for better equal incorporation of cultural elements. The textbook is considered appropriate for Indonesian students since it follows important standards that advocate for the inclusion of both source and target cultures, making the material more relevant and improving cultural understanding and language abilities required for global communication.

Abstract

The current existence of AI is unstoppable. Many parties consider AI to be a serious threat to the world of education, including universities. The use of AI by students in doing tasks often causes anxiety among lecturers. There is concern that AI reduces students’ creativity in exploring their own ideas in making essays or designing learning materials (worksheets). One of the courses that require students to explore their creativity is ESP Material Development. In this course, students are required to learn to develop teaching materials in the form of worksheets in accordance with the needs analysis results identified in the ESP Program Design course. This research is designed to find out students' tendencies in using AI for developing ESP worksheet, while also finding out whether they think that AI chatbot is really useful for them so that they can yield an ESP worksheet whose activities are in accordance with the learning objectives and having an attractive and professional appearance in the same time. The methods used were questionnaires for and FGD with 40 ESP Material Development class students. It was found that most students tried to use AI chatbot for getting inspiration whenever they get stuck in finding more ideas for their worksheets. Most students admitted that AI helped them in that situation. However, they did not recommend the use of AI from the very beginning of developing worksheets. They confessed that using AI would cause confusion and reduce creativity when it is used since very beginning.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors contributing to English speaking anxiety among vocational high school students, particularly in the hospitality department, and explores effective coping strategies. The purpose is to understand how psychological, social, and environmental factors influence students' reluctance to speak English and identify ways they manage their anxiety. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations from 8 tenth-grade students at SMKN 1 Surabaya. Data analysis involved thematic coding to identify key anxiety factors and coping mechanisms. Findings revealed that fear of negative evaluation, communication apprehension, test anxiety, perceived low proficiency, and classroom environment significantly contribute to speaking anxiety. Students employ strategies like preparation, relaxation, positive self-talk, peer support, and resignation to cope. The results highlight the importance of supportive classroom settings and tailored interventions to reduce anxiety and improve speaking confidence. These findings contribute to the understanding of language anxiety in vocational contexts and suggest practical approaches for educators to facilitate effective communication skills development.

Abstract

As professional teachers, teachers are expected to be able to produce scientific works by conducting research, not only experimental but also classroom action research (CAR). Henceforth, from their research, they are expected to be able to produce a scientific article and publish it in reputable national or international journals. Due to the importance of scientific articles for the teachers’ career, therefore, this study aims to describe the profile of secondary school English teachers’ competencies in writing a scientific article. By using a rubric adapted from CARS model, it was found out that they still got many difficulties in writing a good scientific article. Those difficulties cover constructing and developing the introduction section which comprises general background information about the phenomenon being investigated, the results of relevant previous studies and theoretical framework, research gaps, novelty, and research objectives; elaborating the research method and discussion which refers to the results of relevant theories and previous studies; and neglecting the use of the last ten-year references. Regarding those unsatisfactory results, therefore, it is strongly suggested for the them to learn deeper by having more practices and trainings or workshops on conducting research and writing scientific articles as the output of their research.

Abstract

Pre-service teachers’ (PST) beliefs and practices have been agreed as an initially vital basis to continue maintaining a qualified learning process. This article reviews the research on PSTs’ beliefs and practices concerning teaching and learning English as a foreign language (EFL) and the exploration of the complex relationship between EFL PSTs’ beliefs and practices. It encompasses a discussion about the nature of teachers’ beliefs, an overview of PSTs’ belief formation, and some previous studies on PSTs’ beliefs. The review of related literature summarizes the empirical studies on PSTs’ beliefs and practices from 2011 up to 2020, which reveal the diversity and similarity of the studies on EFL PSTs’ beliefs. The result obtained in this study depicts that PSTs’ beliefs about EFL teaching and learning are affected by prior language learning experiences, teacher education, and teaching practices. Besides, some constraints in the classroom setting can trigger the beliefs change covering time restriction, curriculum emphasis, students’ misbehavior, students’ competence, students’ motivation, or even PSTs’ motivation and confidence. Finally, when their tacit beliefs turn into explicit beliefs, PSTs can identify and assess their beliefs attributed to their classroom practices, from which EFL PST education can be informed to design better courses and prepare PSTs’ future careers. HIGHLIGHTS: EFL PSTs’ beliefs are acquired from many years of learning experiences they got from schools to teacher education, of which the condition has influenced what and how they learn to teach. Their beliefs, then, influence what they say and do in the classroom, which, in turn, shapes their beliefs. Some constraints in the classroom setting can trigger the beliefs changed: time restriction, curriculum emphasis, students’ misbehavior, students’ competence, students’ motivation, or even PSTs’ motivation and confidence.

Abstract

Technological competence remains a highly recommended skill for teachers, their beliefs about cognitive strategies can significantly influence the integration of technology in online teaching practices. This study aims to investigate the beliefs of pre-service teachers (PSTs) regarding cognitive strategies during online English teaching practices. Specifically, it explores the beliefs held by PSTs prior to their teaching practicum in schools and the subsequent changes in these beliefs during the practicum. To gain deeper insight into the nature of these beliefs, a qualitative research methodology was employed. Data were collected through semi-structuredinterviews, online classroom video observations, and questionnaires. The study involved 36 fourth-year PSTs from the Language Education Study Program at a public university in Indonesia, with 8 of them participating in the interviews and classroom observations. The findings reveal that PSTs’ beliefs about cognitive strategieschanged notably in relation to promoting communicative, problem-solving, and student-centered activities. Partial changes were observed in beliefs related to the use of learning videos, the use of the target language in class, and speech pacing. In addition, the findings indicate that changes in beliefs were largely influenced by ITinfrastructure, which affected time allocation for teaching and the selection of teaching platforms dictated by school policy. Moreover, PSTs' limited IT competencies and the lack of effective monitoring of students' activities, conditions, and behaviors were identified as key constraints shaping their beliefs during online teaching. Therefore, it is recommended that school mentors and teacher education programssupport PSTs in reshaping their beliefs, particularly in relation to online teaching practices. Moreover, teachers and students require comprehensive support from parents, schools, the government, and the broader community to achieve learning objectives and foster effective online classrooms.HIGHLIGHTS : PSTs’ beliefs about cognitive strategies changed notably in relation to promoting communicative, problem-solving, and student-centered activities.
