Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe how the Snake and Ladder Game was included into speaking training for the eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Papar Kediri during the academic year 2025–2026 and to look at how involved the students were in the process. For this study, a qualitative descriptive design was used. Field notes, instructional documentation, and speaking evaluations utilising a grading rubric were used to gather data. The results showed that the Snake and Ladder Game was integrated using a planned process with phases for planning, carrying out, and evaluating. Speaking challenge cards based on Analytical Exposition books were added to the game board to encourage students to make a thesis statement, provide evidence, and address opposing ideas. Students' participation during the implementation demonstrated positive growth in social, emotional, and behavioural domains. Through small-group exercises, the turn-taking system fostered peer connection and scaffolding, encouraged oral participation from all students, and made the classroom more lively and communicative. Students' speaking orientation, however, continued to be primarily focused on the instructor rather than their classmates. This study offers a contextual knowledge of how a classic board game might be effectively included as a senior high school speaking teaching tool.

Abstract

Background: The rapid integration of digital technologies in secondary education has transformed English as a Foreign Language instruction, yet effective implementation remains uneven and highly contextual. While prior studies often focus on access or technological competence, less attention has been given to how teachers adapt pedagogically within real classroom conditions, particularly in regional Indonesian contexts. Aims: This study investigates how EFL teachers adapt their instructional practices in technology integrated classrooms, examining forms of implementation, contextual factors influencing adaptation, and teachers’ perceptions of instructional effectiveness. Methods: A qualitative multiple site case study was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Palu and SMA Alkhairaat Palu in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Ten EFL teachers were selected through purposeful sampling. Data were collected through semi structured interviews and classroom observations between March and May 2025. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s six phase framework, integrating inductive coding with theoretically informed interpretation. Results: The findings indicate that technology integration operates as a dynamic process of pedagogical negotiation rather than linear adoption. Teachers reorganized lesson structures, modified digital tasks in response to classroom contingencies, and recalibrated instructional decisions when facing infrastructural limitations. Professional experience influenced adaptive flexibility, with more experienced teachers demonstrating greater capacity for instructional redesign. Although digital tools enhanced student engagement, their effectiveness depended on deliberate scaffolding and pedagogical orchestration. Implications: This study advances a process-oriented understanding of pedagogical adaptation in technology-mediated EFL classrooms. The findings underscore the centrality of teacher agency and reflective judgment in sustaining meaningful digital learning environments. Professional development initiatives should therefore prioritize adaptive expertise and pedagogical reasoning rather than technical skill acquisition alone.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate students' perceptions of Spotify podcast features in facilitating listening skills. The research focused on three Spotify podcast features, namely Replay Feature, Playback Speed Control, and Transcript Feature, and their contributions to five listening aspects: pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, meaning, and pragmatic context. This study employed a quantitative descriptive design using a questionnaire distributed through Google Forms. The participants were students who had experience using Spotify podcasts as a medium for learning English listening skills. The findings revealed that students generally had positive perceptions toward the use of Spotify podcast features. Among the three features, the Transcript Feature was perceived as the most facilitating feature, obtaining the highest percentage (83%), followed by the Replay Feature (81%) and Playback Speed Control (80%). In terms of listening aspects, meaning emerged as the aspect most facilitated by Spotify podcast features. Furthermore, the findings indicated that Spotify podcast features were effective in supporting students' listening comprehension through repeated exposure, adjustable listening speed, and written transcripts. However, students still experienced challenges, particularly in grammar and pragmatic context, which were identified as the most difficult aspects of listening comprehension. The study concludes that Spotify podcast features can serve as valuable technology-based learning tools for facilitating listening skills. Therefore, English teachers and learners are encouraged to integrate Spotify podcasts into listening activities to provide authentic language input and promote independent learning.

Abstract

EFL learning at the senior high school level continues to face various challenges, particularly in the acquisition of listening skills due to limited exposure to authentic input. In language acquisition, employing systematic listening strategies is essential as it enables learners to consciously process complex spoken input, overcome acoustic barriers, and regulate their own learning pace. To address this issue, the utilization of audio-based digital media, such as English songs on YouTube Music, has emerged as a popular and accessible autonomous learning resource among adolescents. The aims of this research are 1) to identify the types of strategies employed by students when using YouTube Music songs to develop their English listening skills; and 2) to describe how students implement those strategies when using YouTube Music songs for listening skills. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design carried out at SMAN 1 Kediri. The subjects of this research were 10 senior high school students of Class XI-D in the academic year 2025/2026 who were active users of YouTube Music songs. Data were collected using open-ended questionnaires and guided interviews. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data validity was checked using the data triangulation method. The findings reveal that YouTube Music songs develop listening skills through four strategies: repetition, subtitles/lyrics, note-taking, and comprehension techniques. Students implement these by combining actions like replaying for translation, text cross-referencing, adjusting device placement, and mimicking pronunciation. This media successfully fosters low-anxiety, autonomous, and self-regulated learning.

Abstract

This study investigated the strategies used by an English teacher in preparing an elementary school student for an English speech competition, as well as the challenges encountered during the coaching process at MIN 1 Kota Kediri. This study employed a qualitative research approach with a descriptive design. The participants were an external English speech coach (T1) as the primary participant and a student who had won an English speech competition (S1) as the triangulation participant. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The trustworthiness of the data was established through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that the teacher implemented six systematic strategies: memorization, pronunciation and fluency training, body language and performance training, repetitive practice and simulation, feedback and evaluation, and confidence building. The preparation process also faced several challenges, including students' difficulty in memorizing speech texts, pronunciation problems, nervousness, differences in individual abilities, and limited preparation time, which the teacher addressed through continuous guidance, repeated practice, and constructive feedback. These findings indicate that systematic, stage-by-stage coaching that combines linguistic and psychological preparation contributes positively to young learners' readiness and performance in English speech competitions.

Abstract

Self-directed vocabulary learning has become increasingly relevant in digital language learning environments, particularly as mobile applications provide learners with flexible opportunities to practice English beyond formal classroom settings. Duolingo offers a gamified learning environment that enables learners to engage in vocabulary practice through short lessons, immediate feedback, progress tracking, and motivational features. This study aims to explore students’ self-directed English vocabulary learning through Duolingo by examining the strategies they employ, the factors that motivate their learning, and the ways they maintain learning consistency. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design involving five junior high school students from MTsN 1 Kediri who actively used Duolingo for independent English vocabulary learning. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaire worksheets, non-participant observation, and documentation of students’ Duolingo learning activities. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that students developed self-directed vocabulary learning routines by integrating Duolingo into their leisure time and employing various strategies, including translation, note-taking, contextual guessing, and pronunciation practice. Students’ learning motivation was supported by personal goals, gamified features, progress tracking, and peer competition. The findings also indicate that the daily streak feature played a particularly important role in maintaining students’ learning consistency, while social support and technical conditions influenced their learning experiences. Despite these motivating factors, students encountered obstacles including unstable internet connections, device limitations, application bugs, and the heart/energy system. Overall, Duolingo provided a flexible digital environment that supported students’ autonomous vocabulary learning by combining self-directed strategies, motivational mechanisms, and routine-based learning practices.

Abstract

Writing narrative texts requires EFL learners to generate and organize ideas while controlling vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. This study investigated the effect of Canva-based Digital Story Retelling on the narrative writing skills of eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Kediri and explored students’ learning experiences during the intervention. The study employed an embedded mixed-methods approach, with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design as the quantitative strand. Thirty-five eleventh-grade students were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through narrative writing tests, classroom observation, a student perception questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews with five students. Writing performance was assessed in content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, while qualitative evidence was analyzed descriptively. The mean score increased from 84.17 in the pre-test to 88.00 in the post-test. The Wilcoxon test indicated a statistically significant difference between the two measurements (Z = -3.065, p = 0.002). Twenty-three students improved, nine students decreased, and three students obtained the same score. Qualitative findings indicated that students perceived the strategy as engaging and helpful for organizing ideas and understanding narrative structure, although some students still experienced difficulty developing the complication and modifying story plots. The findings indicate that Canva-based Digital Story Retelling can serve as a structured instructional strategy for supporting narrative writing in an Indonesian EFL classroom.

Abstract

Climate change education is increasingly relevant to higher education, yet little is known about how university EFL lecturers sustain climate-responsive teaching under different institutional conditions. This study explored how lecturers in Malaysian and Indonesian higher education settings perceived the role of climate change education, the practices and strategies they described using or recommending, and how institutional support and lecturer agency influenced these practices. A qualitative comparative design was used using semi-structured interviews with seven EFL lecturers, comprising three participants in Malaysia and four in Indonesia. The interview data was analysed thematically. Participants viewed climate change as meaningful for connecting English learning with local environmental problems, authentic communication, critical engagement, and interdisciplinary knowledge. They reported or proposed discussions, multimedia, podcasts, documentaries, guest speakers, and project-based activities. However, the degree and consistency of integration varied with the interaction between institutional conditions and individual initiative. The study showed that lecturer agency could initiate and adapt climate-responsive teaching, while curricular recognition, credible resources, and institutional support influenced its continuity. Because the findings were based on self-reported interviews, they established neither classroom effectiveness nor national differences.
