Students' interest becomes the most important aspect of successful teaching and learning. One way to attract students' interest in participating in the lesson is by using fun learning media like puppet pictures. This study explores how employing puppet pictures as a storytelling and sharing medium can improve students' vocabulary acquisition. The present study employed a pre-experimental approach to assess the vocabulary proficiency level achieved through puppet image storytelling media. The group, which had a pre-test and post-test, was considered a single sample for teaching using puppet visuals and storytelling medium. The research subjects consisted of first-grade students enrolled at Ariya Metta Elementary School. The evaluation instruments utilized consisted of a pre-test and post-test, designed based on phase A of the Merdeka curriculum. These instruments were employed to evaluate the enhancement or notable increase in vocabulary scores, employing puppet image narrative media. The pre-test and post-test data were calculated using a statistical analysis program. The data statistics from the descriptive analysis and matched sample statistics showed that the average score of the pre-test (57.86) increased to the post-test score (88.57). In addition, the paired sample T-test yielded a p-value of 0.000, less than the significance level of 0.05. The result indicates that the Null Hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Ultimately, puppet storytelling media had a significant impact on enhancing pupils' vocabulary development.

Among myriad research on teaching reading on English Young Learners, little has been discussed the practice within two different socio-culture settings. Indeed, the success stories of teaching reading to young learners with different social and cultural circumstances will be able to offer insight and new perspectives of teaching reading to EYL for researchers, mainly English teachers. This study aimed at narrating and exploring the process of teaching reading within two different countries, Indonesia and Thailand. This study invited two Indonesians EFL teachers who teach English to young learners in Indonesia and Thailand. Underpinning the narrative research design, this study narrated the experience of the participants from interview process triangulated by their narrative framework and teaching reading materials. From the obtained data, the findings were presented using four major themes: teaching experience, the students, teaching reading, and teaching reading materials. The result revealed that the participants had some similarities and distinction aspects. Teaching technique that the participants used could be said as the similar aspect of the participants. Meanwhile, teaching materials could be said as the integral factors underlaying the differences. Furthermore, organizational system and community around participants played significant role in affecting the differences and similarities.

Abstract: Students are unique with their characteristics and differences. In line with the current learning paradigm, learner-centered paradigm, teaching and learning process places greater emphasis on individuality. One of the differences is multiple intelligence types possessed by all individuals resulting in various ways of learning. Learning materials, one of the learning resources, ideally have to accommodate the students’ multiple intelligence types. However, the current learning materials contain neither sufficient reading texts nor tasks fostering their multiple intelligence types that happen in every classroom. Thus, this research intends to develop reading materials based on multiple intelligence to accommodate students’ intelligence. This research belongs to research and development of which steps are conducting a needs analysis, developing the product, getting an expert judgement, trying-out the materials and revising the product (Gall, Gall Borg, 2007). In order to develop the appropriate reading materials that meet the students’ needs, a needs analysis was initially conducted. The needs analysis was conducted in five junior high schools in Magelang district including state and private schools. The data of the needs analysis were obtained by distributing questionnaires which were used as the consideration in developing the materials. Then, the materials developed were validated by material and learning experts before being tried out at SMP N 1 Windusari, Magelang to complete and to perfect the materials. From the data analysis, the average score of the appropriateness of the content, the language, the presentation and the design of the materials was 3.54 which was classified as “very good” and “appropriate” to be implemented. Furthermore, the result indicated that the materials also fulfilled the criteria of good materials, for instance, considering that students are different. Thus, teachers and educational stakeholders should develop learning materials catering to the students’ multiple intelligence types to accommodate their differences.Key words: reading materials, differences, multiple intelligence

Motivation to read, the driving force to achieve ones reading goals, plays a significant role in language learning as it relates to reading engagement and achievement. Its presence is prominently necessary for a longer learning period. This article explores the features of nine pre-service students motivational currents and how their motivation changes throughout the task performance in Extensive Reading Programs (henceforth ERPs). Data were collected from diaries, and a retrodictive qualitative model was applied to recount the experiences of the student participants motivational currents following Drnyeis Directed Motivational Currents (DMC). Themes of diaries and interviews were generated following the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The findings show that the features of DMC are salient and functioning throughout the students learning experiences and facilitate the construction of their future identity as readers. Four patterns of motivational currents during the students learning were a steady wave, slight wave, moderate wave, and great wave patterns. The variability and stability of task performance motivation indicate that students motivational trajectories are unique, conditional, and context-bound. Identifications of the sources of motivators and demotivators provide hints for designing more engaging classroom activities, enriching the task features, and sustaining students motivation. This study concludes with possible directions for future motivation research.

The Montessori method has become a trend in Early Childhood Education, particularly in terms of the students’ language acquisition within the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) framework. While SDL, as proposed in heutagogy, is theoretically ideal for language learning, practical implementations in a faith-based culture are not well understood. Therefore, this research analyses the teaching of the English language in a new educational context: a Montessori classroom in Indonesia that incorporates Islamic principles. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, this research identifies the synergistic conditions that foster language development and describes the observable pathways of language acquisition within this context. Evidence gathered from classroom observations and teacher interviews identified three pillars that underpin success in this particular classroom environment: (1) radical autonomy, which offers personally meaningful language input; (2) a low anxiety classroom, which encourages spontaneous language production; and (3) a synergistic Islamic classroom environment, which strengthens self-discipline and independence in contrast to the Islamic faith. A specific four-stage sequence of acquisition was identified within this meticulously designed environment. The integration of Islamic character-building with Montessori pedagogy underscores the holistic development of the child and the language itself. This research adds value by addressing pedagogical needs at the cultural level, and, in doing so, establishes a conceptual framework that outlines the stepwise progression of learners within a framework of self-determination.
