Abstract

Top-down teacher professional development in Indonesia prevents teachers from choosing and determining programs or activities that suit their interests, goals, and needs; however, some activities can assist teachers in developing it, known as self-initiated professional development (SiPD). SiPD demonstrates that people who take the initiative learn more and better than those who are passively taught with or without the assistance of others. This research investigated novice EFL teachers’ perceptions and the types of SiPD they engaged in. This study employed a narrative inquiry approach using semi-structured interviews as data collection. The study involved three EFL teachers selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the collected data. The findings of this study are that novice EFL teachers regard and comprehend self-initiated professional development positively as responsible professionals seeking to acquire new skills, knowledge, and pedagogy to better prepare for their profession’s obstacles and improve their student’s performance and achievement. They became proactive learners, taking control of their education and taking the initiative to develop their teaching abilities. Furthermore, self-initiated professional development ensured that EFL teachers were current on the newest teaching trends, techniques, and resources.

Abstract

In developing the learners’ language competence, many educational institutions altered teachers to integrate computer-mediated communication (CMC) synchronously and asynchronously. However, the issue of engagement becomes another issue to be handled. Accordingly, in this literature review of 20 qualitative, 7 quantitative, and 8 mixed-method studies published in the high-ranked database from 2000-2021, we aim to examine the approaches to evaluate and indicators to facilitate the learners’ engagement, specifically on writing asynchronously. Asynchronous CMC became the concern of this study as it supports the learners to follow the simultaneous discussion and supports multiple learning styles. The reviewed studies were identified using behavior, cognition, and emotion approaches to evaluate the learners’ engagement. Thus, the types of indicators to facilitate the learners’ engagement are input, process, and outcomes. Finally, this review suggests it is useful to design writing courses that effectively conceptualize evaluation approaches and indicators to facilitate the learners’ engagement.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of reflective practice in enhancing the teaching of speaking skills within a private English tutorial context. Despite growing recognition of reflective teaching, limited research addresses its application in one-on-one tutorial settings. Adopting an autobiographical narrative approach, the researcher employed Cirocki and Widodo’s (2019) reflective framework and Gibbs’ reflective cycle (1988) over a three-month period. Data were collected through personal teaching diaries and audio recordings of lessons with two intermediate-level students. Structured reflection positively influenced lesson planning, in-class adjustments, and post-lesson evaluations. Student A, initially hesitant and disfluent, showed improved spontaneity and fluency. Student B, who struggled with confidence and vocabulary, demonstrated increased participation and lexical range. These improvements were closely tied to the teacher’s evolving responsiveness and student-centered strategies enabled by reflective practice. The findings suggest that reflective teaching supports better identification of student needs and fosters adaptive instructional methods. While the small sample size limits generalizability, the study underscores the value of integrating structured reflection into teaching routines. Reflective practice proved instrumental in enhancing both teacher development and student speaking outcomes in a private tutorial setting. Its application has practical implications for private tutors and language institutions, encouraging the integration of tools such as diaries and lesson recordings into teacher training to promote continual professional growth.

Abstract

This study analyzed the implementation of the Genre-Based Approach (GBA) in the Bahasa Inggris Work in Progress textbook, with the aim of evaluating its effectiveness in supporting writing instruction in Indonesian senior high schools. Using qualitative content analysis, the study examined how writing tasks aligned with Cahyono’s (2012) GBA framework: Building Knowledge of the Field (BKOF), Modeling and Deconstruction of the Text (MDT), Joint Construction of the Text (JCOT), and Independent Construction of the Text (ICOT). The findings revealed that although the textbook was structured according to GBA principles, its implementation across the stages was inconsistent. BKOF and MDT were generally well-supported through vocabulary-building activities and teacher-led instruction, but JCOT lacked meaningful peer collaboration, and ICOT relied heavily on teacher intervention, which limited student autonomy. Moreover, the absence of explicit linguistic analysis in the MDT stage hindered students’ understanding of genre-specific language features.This study contributed to the field of textbook evaluation by identifying practical gaps in the design and delivery of GBA within EFL writing materials. It also offered pedagogical insights for improving GBA implementation, including the integration of peer interaction, metalinguistic instruction, and self-assessment tools to enhance student-centered learning. Future research should explore how teachers mediate these materials in classroom contexts and how students engage with genre-based instruction in practice.

Abstract

Master's programs present a unique challenge to professional identity development. Students concurrently engage in academic pursuits, research activities, and frequently part-time employment. This confluence of responsibilities creates a dynamic environment where role conflict can disrupt the clarity and coherence of their developing professional identity. The purpose of this research was to explore the development of professional identity among Master's students, focusing on the interplay between their beliefs about their identity image and their actual performance in identity development activities. This study explored two key aspects of ELT graduate student development: How do ELT graduate students envision themselves as future educators? and What strategies do ELT graduate students employ to develop their professional competence? This study utilized a qualitative approach to amplify the data derived from participants' own words through in-depth descriptions of their experiences. The data for this study was ELT graduate students who actively pursued master's programs. Moreover, the researchers s used interactive model analysis to analyze the data. This study revealed two key findings related to the research question: 1) Students envision themselves as effective teacher: 2) Professional identity development through academic and non-academic activities. This study implies that PID is a continuous process requiring ongoing learning and growth. ELT graduate students should actively engage in professional development and utilize structured self-reflection (e.g., journals, portfolios) to identify strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategies teachers use to foster nationalism in the digital native generation, as well as the challenges they face in fostering nationalism in this generation. This research uses a qualitative approach and a type of literature research. The data collection technique with document study and data analysis used is content analysis. The strategy to build the character of the native generation nationalism in the digital era is that teachers must be able to master their competencies as educators, prepare effective learning tools, and be able to implement a variety of learning methods and be able to utilize digital-based learning media. Teachers in building the character of nationalism in the digital native generation have several obstacles, especially there are still many teachers who have not been able to master some competencies as an educator (pedagogic and personality). In addition, they have also not been able to implement varied learning methods and have not been maximized in utilizing digital-based learning media.
