Abstract

The choice of use of languages ​​in schools, including in the linguistic schoolscapes, represents the contestation of language identities, ideologies, and power. This study looks at the position of English, as opposed to Indonesian, Arabic, and Javanese, in the linguistic schoolscapes in an Indonesian Islamic boarding school in Central Java. A descriptive qualitative method and the theoretical framework of language planning and policy (Spolsky, 2004) are used to analyze the data. The findings show that Javanese and Indonesian are used in daily communication. English and Arabic are taught in the language program. In the signs at the boarding school, English is the second language to be used frequently at the linguistic school cape, after Indonesian, while Javanese, as the students' everyday language, is far behind. The implication of the linguistic school landscape finding in this research is that foreign languages ​​such as English, Arabic, and others considered necessary have the potential to become a new development in language teaching and learning.

Abstract

Abstract: In the last ten years, studies of the representation of moral values in English textbooks have been growing. However, little empirical evidence reveals the use of speech acts to represent moral values through utterances. This study aims to investigate the representation of moral values depicted through utterances in English textbooks for elementary school grades 2 and 5 in Indonesia. By adopting a socio-cognitive critical discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 2015) framework integrated with Searle’s (1969) speech acts, this qualitative study elucidates the representation of moral values only in the verbal text. The data were analyzed by applying several steps, including unitizing, sampling, recording/coding, reducing, inferring, and narrating. The findings of this study showed that curiosity, honesty, and friendliness are the most dominant moral values depicted in two English textbooks for elementary schools in Indonesia.  Dialogue/conversation, chapter cover, and instruction for students’ activity are the strategies to promote moral values in the textbooks. This study implies that teachers and textbook writers should provide students with more examples of moral values, particularly those related to daily life communication.

Abstract

This study examines the vitality of the Lampung language in urban areas of North Lampung, addressing the ongoing phenomenon of mother tongue language shift. Employing an ethnolinguistic framework with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the research engaged 200 respondents across two age groups (15–30 years and >30 years) from three regions: Kotabumi, South Kotabumi, and North Kotabumi. Data collection was conducted via questionnaires, with analysis guided by UNESCO's language vitality parameters and results visualized using the ArcGIS application. Findings indicate that the Lampung language holds a "vulnerable" vitality status, with an average index score of 0.56. Notably, three parameters were identified as critical: intergenerational transmission (0.46), domains of language use (0.49), and new media and domains (0.38). These results underscore a persistent language shift over the past decade and provide an empirical basis for formulating policies aimed at revitalizing and preserving the Lampung language in urban contexts. Penelitian ini mengkaji vitalitas bahasa Lampung di wilayah perkotaan Kabupaten Lampung Utara, dengan menyoroti fenomena pergeseran bahasa ibu yang terus berlangsung.

Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner, dengan analisis berdasarkan parameter vitalitas bahasa UNESCO dan visualisasi hasil menggunakan aplikasi ArcGIS. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa bahasa Lampung berada pada status vitalitas "rentan," dengan skor indeks rata-rata 0,56. Secara khusus, tiga parameter diidentifikasi sebagai kritis: transmisi antargenerasi (0,46), domain penggunaan bahasa (0,49), dan media baru serta domainnya (0,38). Hasil ini menegaskan pergeseran bahasa yang terus berlangsung selama satu dekade terakhir dan memberikan dasar empiris untuk merumuskan kebijakan yang bertujuan untuk merevitalisasi dan melestarikan bahasa Lampung di konteks perkotaan.

Abstract

Translanguaging has been recognized to help students learn a second language, yet many lecturers still see it as a problem rather than a useful educational tool. This study looks at the impact of translanguaging approaches on the confidence of Indonesian vocational college students in using English, with a focus mainly on the students' perspectives. The research used a qualitative case study to observe a class of 30 students (13 male and 17 female) in an English for Vocational Purposes (EVP) course. Four students, two females and two males were purposefully chosen for semi-structured interviews to get deeper perspectives. Data from these observations and interviews were evaluated thematically to better understand how translanguaging improves communication, strengthens teacher-student relationships, and assists in the processing of instructional materials. The findings indicate that students hold a positive attitude toward translanguaging pedagogies, citing benefits such as improved knowledge development, enhanced vocabulary acquisition, stronger relationships with lecturers, and increased Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English. The study emphasizes that translanguaging facilitates English language learning and acknowledges and embraces the linguistic diversity of Indonesian classrooms. This research provides important information for policymakers, educators, and researchers on how utilizing translanguaging in EFL teaching approaches can be essential in creating a more inclusive and effective learning atmosphere, especially in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Despite the mandatory inclusion of English in higher education, the limited credit hours and students’ varying proficiency levels pose challenges to achieving English language teaching goals. CSR offers a structured approach to enhance reading comprehension through its four stages. While numerous studies have explored CSR’s effectiveness, its application in higher education remains under-researched, particularly for TOEFL preparation. This qualitative study involved three female instructors of a TOEFL preparation course in an Islamic state university which were chosen by convenience sampling. It employs in-depth interviews to examine their beliefs in teaching using CSR for non-English major students in a TOEFL preparation course. The data were analyzed thematically by using deductive coding. The findings revealed that instructors consciously believe in the benefits of CSR for TOEFL preparation. Their beliefs are largely relevant to the theory of CSR, with collaborative learning as a core value and combined with personalized learning to create a positive learning environment that supports students' reading comprehension and readiness for TOEFL preparation. The result of this can inform instructional strategies and enhance students' reading comprehension abilities for standardized testing and other assessments, particularly in higher education contexts. Future research may continue to explore the nuances of CSR implementation within a larger scope and more diverse sample to enhance generalizability, or incorporate a mixed-method approach to provide a more holistic view of CSR among educators and students.

Abstract

Students' interactions in school-based activities across subject areas and linguistic groups have been the focus of study on the relationship between identity and learning. Likewise with what happened in the bilingual class which is very interesting to be studied further. Therefore the current study aims to analyze the positionality of students considering the voices of students, subject teachers, and school administrators influenced by school language policies. This study uses case study research. The data were collected out of 102 students that participated in the initial interview, four focal participants were chosen. Two of the students were female, and two were male. Semi-structured interviews and observations were performed. The qualitative content analysis utilizes the gathered data to produce unique representations of the transcripts, such as what is being discussed at a specific time. The findings of this study share students' positive and negative voices toward the implemented language policy at the school. They position themselves as passive and active English users in recognizing their identity positionality. This study may be of relevance to those active in secondary or higher education research, decision-making and advocacy in the non-profit and public sectors, school leadership and governance, and teaching and learning.

Abstract

English language learning in primary schools still needs more attention, especially regarding teacher training in designing effective lesson plans. Many teachers do not have an English language education background and have never received training in designing English language learning activities, so they have difficulty developing materials that meet students' needs. This study aims to determine how primary school teachers develop and implement English language learning activities in the classroom. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research subjects were two primary school teachers with a classroom teacher education background and teaching experience of 6 and 11 years respectively. The results showed that the teachers developed learning by watching learning videos and consulting with more experienced colleagues as a form of initiative and creativity in dealing with limited competencies and resources. They also face challenges in adapting methods to different student learning styles and managing limited learning time. Observations show that although the implementation of lesson plans is going according to plan, there are still problems with student participation, understanding of the material, and the effectiveness of activities, so adjustments to teaching strategies are needed. This study highlights the importance of sustained and equitable professional development so that all teachers, including those without an English education background, are able to teach adaptively and effectively in diverse classrooms.

Abstract

Despite the sufficient amount of language textbook analysis studies that have been conducted, little attention focused on grammar exercises analysis presented in the Indonesian junior high school English textbooks that facilitated the students to make meaning where functional grammar principles were adopted. This current study nuanced education artifacts analysis. The researchers intended to reveal to what extent the English grammar exercises present functional grammar exercises. Moreover, The study provided a practical suggestion to teachers, textbook developers, and language practitioners to revise and include the functional grammar approach in designing English grammar exercises. Anchored into critical document study, this study focused to find the representation of functional grammar exercises portrayed in an English language textbook where the mandated English language curriculum endorses genre-based and text-based language pedagogy in an Indonesian secondary school context. Two analytical tools were combined (i.e. transitivity analysis and critical discourse study) to reveal the existing English grammar exercises. The findings present a total of 88 English grammar exercises found in the textbook. However, 28 English grammar exercises indicated activities for the student to make meaning. The result provided a critical suggestion for grammar exercises revision that facilitates students to make meaning and understanding the social practices of the language. However, this study only provided a textbook analysis, further studies possibly focus on action studies where the functional grammar exercises were implemented in classroom activities.
