This study aims to investigate how EFL teachers decide on and adapt teaching strategies for young learners in ELT classrooms and explore strategies teachers use to encourage independent language learning. The research was conducted as a case study in an academic English course in Batam and involved three experienced EFL teachers. Data collection methods included observation checklists, semi-structured interviews, and analysis of lesson plans. Descriptive analysis was applied to observation checklists and document reviews, while thematic analysis was used for interview data. The findings underscore the importance of flexible teaching methods that emphasize student engagement and align instructional activities with learning goals. They highlight the necessity of customizing teaching strategies to students' backgrounds and interests and efficiently utilizing classroom resources to promote active learning and enhance educational outcomes in EFL contexts, thereby fostering autonomous learning among students. In conclusion, effective EFL teaching involves integrating student engagement, active learning strategies, customized teaching approaches, and adequate classroom resources. The implications stress the importance of a holistic approach to EFL learning that prioritizes student engagement, active and independent learning, effective technology use, and continuous professional development for EFL teachers

Using Halliday and Hasan's functional approach, which categorizes themes into topical, interpersonal, and textual groups, this qualitative research examines five selected articles, focusing on their introductions to identify thematic progression patterns such as reiteration, zigzag, and multiple themes. The analysis reveals that reiteration patterns dominate, followed by zigzag patterns and multiple theme patterns. These findings highlight the significant role of these patterns in enhancing textual coherence and reader engagement. This study provides new insights into the writing strategies of digital economic journalism and contributes to linguistic research as well as economic journalism practices, particularly in the context of Batamnews.com as an influential digital platform in the Batam region.

This study examines thematic progression patterns in English economic articles on Batamnews.com, focusing on how themes and rhemes are organized to ensure textual coherence and effectively convey economic information. Employing Halliday and Hasan’s functional approach, themes are categorized into topical, interpersonal, and textual types. The research adopts a qualitative method, analyzing the introduction sections of seven articles using systematic segmentation into clauses and classification of thematic progression patterns into re-iteration, zigzag, and multiple-theme patterns. The results reveal that the re-iteration pattern is the most frequently employed (28 instances), followed by the zigzag pattern (26 instances), and the multiple-theme pattern (7 instances). Thematic progression patterns significantly contribute to enhancing the coherence and clarity of the articles, allowing economic concepts to be effectively communicated. The findings underscore the strategic role of thematic organization in digital journalism, providing practical insights for journalists and scholars in understanding how economic information is structured and adapted for diverse audiences. This study contributes to linguistics and media studies by offering a deeper understanding of the interaction between thematic patterns and the communication of complex economic topics in the digital age.

This study presents a needs-based analysis and the development of an English language skills module specifically designed for front office employees at a local hotel in Batam, Indonesia. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach and the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the module was developed based on Hutchinson & Waters' needs analysis framework. Data were collected through interviews with four front office employees, while two experts—a hotel manager and an ESP lecturer—validated the module. The analysis revealed that employees primarily struggled with listening comprehension, speaking fluency, and confidence when interacting with international guests. The findings imply that conducting a thorough needs analysis is crucial for developing effective English training materials in the hospitality industry. Without understanding the specific language challenges faced by front office employees, training programs risk being irrelevant or ineffective. This study highlights that a conducted needs analysis leads to more targeted, practical modules that directly address real workplace communication problems. It also underscores the importance of aligning training content with employee needs to improve service quality, enhance guest satisfaction, and strengthen the hotel’s role in supporting regional tourism growth.

This study aimed to investigate how structured drama activities supported by iterative teaching and peer evaluation could enhance learners’ pronunciation, fluency, and confidence in speaking English. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted to enhance the English-speaking abilities of tenth-grade students at one school in Batam through drama-based instruction. The study involved 44 students from Grade 10, who were selected based on document analysis indicating poor performance in speaking-related tasks. A systematic approach was utilized, which included a pre-test, two cycles of implementation, and a post-test. The pre-test results revealed that 59% of students were at Level 1 and 27% at Level 2, indicating serious deficiencies in pronunciation, fluency, and self-confidence. After the intervention, 100% of the students (n = 44) advanced to Level 3, representing a complete elimination of Level 1 and Level 2 classifications and a 52-point increase in average speaking scores (from M = 38.7 to M = 90.6). This improvement was achieved through structured drama activities such as monologues, role-plays, and improvisational skits supported by warm-up exercises, peer evaluation, and iterative teaching modifications. The findings confirm that drama is not only an effective practice-based strategy but also a theoretically grounded pedagogy aligned with Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, as it creates low-anxiety, interactive learning environments that facilitate authentic communication. The study contributes to both theory and pedagogy by demonstrating how scripted and improvised role-play can systematically transform learners’ oral proficiency in EFL classrooms while offering a replicable framework for adaptive, reflective language teaching.
