The purpose of this study was to determine the various forms of nonverbal communication employed by English teachers of a private senior high school in Palembang and their role in teaching speaking skills. This study employed a qualitative approach with observation and interview became the instruments to collect the data. The participants consisted of six eleventh-grade students who were selected based on the variation of their speaking ability: two students with high, two with medium, and two with low ability. The researchers applied thematic analysis that identified and interpreted patterns in data sets. The results showed that teachers used four primary forms of nonverbal communication: body posture (open, erect), hand gestures (active, illustrative, highlighting vital themes), eye contact (long, short), and facial expressions (smiling, joyful). This nonverbal communication played a role in increasing students' confidence, motivation, understanding, and interest in speaking English. Friendly facial expressions and illustrative hand gestures increased students' confidence, while cheerful facial expressions and hand gestures that emphasized important points enhanced learning motivation. Brief eye contact, open posture, and illustrative hand gestures helped improve comprehension. In addition, upright and relaxed posture and active hand gestures also contributed to increasing students' interest in learning. In short, English teachers needed to effectively employ nonverbal communication to provide a supportive and engaging learning environment.

This study explores the challenges an English teacher faces in implementing differentiated learning within the framework of the Emancipated Curriculum in a junior high school in Palembang. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through interview and observation. The findings identified five main problems: difficulties in assessing students; limited planning time; large class sizes; technical disruptions during lessons; and the need for ongoing professional development. Although the teacher demonstrated a strong understanding of differentiation, enhanced through the Teacher Mover program, implementation remained difficult without sufficient support. This study highlights the importance of institutional support, reliable infrastructure, and effective assessment tools to ensure meaningful and sustainable application of differentiated learning. The findings suggest that while teacher commitment and training are crucial, systemic support plays an equally vital role. Further research involving more participants or schools is recommended to deepen understanding and broaden perspectives on differentiated learning practices in Indonesian EFL contexts.

Writing serves as a fundamental medium for expressing ideas, emotions, and opinions through language. This study investigated the difficulties encountered by eighth-grade students at one of the Islamic junior high schools in Palembang in writing recount text. Employing a qualitative research approach, six students were selected through homogeneous sampling. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed five major areas of difficulty such as lack of ideas for content, poor abilities in organizing the structure of recount text, lack of vocabulary, lack of grammar mastery, and lack of mechanical skills. These results are intended to inform English teachers about the specific challenges students face in writing recount text, enabling them to implement more targeted instructional strategies. Additionally, the study suggests instructional strategies to address these challenges. The insights gained from this research are expected to contribute to the improvement of writing instruction in English language classrooms, especially for students at the junior high school level.
