Abstract

In the realm of language education, the influence of governmental regulations on language programs is substantial, as evidenced by Indonesia’s regulatory framework in Law No. 20/2003. This study examines Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety (FLTA) among pre-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers during their teaching practicum, focusing on the role of fear of negative evaluation, self-perception of language proficiency, and teaching inexperience. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, quantitative surveys were conducted with 68 respondents, and qualitative interviews were held with five participants in the Kepulauan Riau area. Results from statistical analyses, including regression, indicate that FLTA has a modest impact on the teaching experience of pre-service teachers. Thematic analyses from qualitative data provide deeper insights into the nuanced interplay of factors contributing to FLTA. The discussion highlights the study’s contributions to the field, advocating for the importance of practical teaching experience, mentorship, and adaptive teaching approaches to mitigate FLTA. This comprehensive approach underscores the necessity of addressing anxiety to enhance the competence and confidence of pre-service English teachers, ultimately contributing to more effective language education.

Abstract

Permasalahan rendahnya eksposur siswa terhadap praktik kepemimpinan nyata menjadi isu penting dalam memperkuat keterampilan sosial-personal pelajar di tingkat menengah. Kegiatan ini merancang model pelatihan berbasis partisipatif dengan pendekatan Pendidikan Masyarakat dan Simulasi Ipteks untuk memungkinkan siswa terlibat langsung dalam dinamika kepemimpinan. Program dilaksanakan di SMA Pelita Utama selama 4,5 jam, terdiri atas sesi edukatif, permainan kelompok, dan refleksi bersama. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi informal dan kuesioner digital, yang dianalisis secara tematik dan deskriptif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan partisipasi, antusiasme, serta rasa percaya diri siswa dalam konteks kerja kelompok dan pengambilan keputusan. Temuan ini memperkuat efektivitas metode experiential learning dan kegiatan berbasis simulasi dalam membentuk karakter kepemimpinan pelajar. Selain itu, pendekatan nonformal ini dinilai cocok diterapkan di sekolah dengan keterbatasan infrastruktur karena bersifat fleksibel dan tidak membutuhkan alat kompleks. Pelaksanaan yang ringkas namun intensif mampu menjembatani kesenjangan antara metode pembelajaran formal dan kebutuhan keterlibatan aktif siswa. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, kegiatan ini direkomendasikan untuk direplikasi secara berkala guna memperkuat budaya kepemimpinan yang berkelanjutan di sekolah-sekolah menengah.

Abstract

Structured assessment regimes are instrumental in influencing classroom teaching and learning. For example, an international curriculum, such as Pearson, provides structured assessment cornerstones for teaching and learning. Yet, despite Indonesian secondary schools widely adopting it, existing literature predominantly focuses on curriculum design and alignment, while the substantial issue of classroom-level impact resulting from standardized assessment demands still remains underexplored. The present paper seeks to uncover the extent to which Pearson's structured assessment requirements are realized in the classroom and how they impact teaching and learning. The qualitative case study research method was utilized through classroom observations and interviews concerning two foreign English teachers in a private secondary school in Batam, Indonesia. Results show that the Pearson assessment system, comprising mechanisms like the prohibition of homework, assessment by means of rubrics, and instant feedback, has brought in student engagement and reduced stress through steadiness and transparency in assessment. Nevertheless, strict timetables for exams and standard formats that are imposed on the teachers out of the core systems have led to a reduction of teachers' pedagogical freedom and an increase in their administrative workload. The systemic pressures, such as real-time assessment demands and rigid accountability structures, pose significant challenges, particularly in resource-constrained environments with diverse learner readiness. The study contributes to theoretical debates on standardized assessment by showing how tightly aligned frameworks compress pedagogical flexibility while demanding high instructional precision. The findings emphasize the need for more adaptable assessment frameworks that balance accountability and teacher autonomy as well as continuous student engagement.

Abstract

Student Service Activities (PKM) were carried out to provide an alternative learning space for elementary school-aged children in the Tiban Palem Housing Complex, Batam City, by utilizing the Bougenville 3 Health Post as an interactive learning center. The program was designed to address the limited access to non-formal learning facilities while providing an enjoyable and meaningful experience in learning basic English. The implementation method employed a thematic, communicative, participatory, and multimodal approach, integrating songs, educational games, visual media, and creative tasks. The program participants were 37 children aged 6–14 years, divided into two groups based on grade level. The results of the activities showed that the majority of participants (70–85%) were able to master the target vocabulary and construct simple sentences in accordance with the learning objectives. Observations also revealed increased motivation, active engagement, and self-confidence among the children in their oral use of English. Additionally, parental responses were highly positive, as evidenced by high ratings of learning quality (76.2%) and material suitability (81%), and by children's enthusiasm exceeding 95%. Overall, this program has succeeded in strengthening the role of posyandu as a community-based educational space, improving basic language skills, and building close collaboration between universities and the community. For sustainability, it is recommended that volunteer training and the development of similar programs in other areas be implemented.
