Abstract

In the context of teacher professionalism, the ability to effectively integrate technology into teaching practices is now part of the basic competencies that must be possessed. One of the conceptual frameworks that are widely used to measure and assess this competency is Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK). Therefore, this study aims to (1) describe how in-service English teachers integrate technology into their EFL teaching, and (2) explain the perceptions of these teachers regarding their TPACK competency. The research is a mixed-method study that combines quantitative and qualitative data collection using observation and questionnaires. Thirty teachers consisting 11 male and 19 female involved in this study.  The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analyses, while the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis by presenting themes and codes.  The finding of the study shows that in-service English teachers have "good" competence of TPACK as shown in the mean of the questionnaire result is 3.94 which belongs to the good category. Among 7 TPACK categories, TPK is the highest with the mean 4.14, on the other hand, PCK is the lowest with a mean 2.94. There are 16 types of ICT integrated in their lesson. PPT, blog, Pinterest, and YouTube are mostly used their English lesson with 100% on the other hand, Link Tree and Elsa Speak is the lowest used. Overall, these findings underscore the importance of further training that focuses not only on the use of technology, but also on how it can be effectively linked to content and pedagogical approaches in the context of English language learning.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Reciprocal Teaching Strategy to enhance students' reading comprehension skills in Hortatory Exposition texts. Conducted as a Classroom Action Research (CAR) over two cycles in Class XII-7 at SMA Negeri 5 Purworejo during the 2023/2024 academic year, the study involved 35 students (25 females and 10 males). Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, observations, and documentation, analyzed using simple descriptive quantitative methods, and presented in table and chart. The findings reveal a significant improvement in reading comprehension, with average scores increasing from 63 (Cycle I) to 81 (Cycle II). This growth highlights the effectiveness of the Reciprocal Teaching Strategy, particularly when supported by interactive instructional media such as videos. The strategy's integration of predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing fosters critical thinking and active student engagement, addressing challenges in understanding both explicit and implicit textual information. These results underscore the strategy’s potential for advancing reading comprehension and its applicability in 21st-century learning contexts.

This study is aimed at exploring the experiences of teachers of two schools with different qualification by answering the following questions: (1) How are the programs of collaborative professional learning enacted to enhance the teachers’ teaching strategy and digital literacy?, (2) How do the teachers’ experiences in their collaborative professional learning impact on their policy of professional learning? This study is a qualitative case study. In order to answer its questions, this study involved 8 language teachers –Arabic, English, Indonesian, and Javanese language- from 2 schools. Teachers from a reputable school were paired up with those from an undistinguished school to engage in a collaborative professional learning program focusing on teaching strategy and digital literacy.

The program is a need-based program, which is put in different social context and built to make each participant familiar, collaborate to learn, to practice, and to implement. Putting the program into different social context facilitates participants to learn through attention, retention, reproduction, which then influences their policy of professional learning.

Abstract

Language is a fundamental tool in communication and expression, including in the realm of music. Songs, as a form of art, often use figurative language to convey messages more emotionally and aesthetically. However, not all listeners are able to understand the hidden meaning behind the lyrics, especially when figurative language is used. This study aims to examine the use of figurative language in the album Paint My Love Greatest Hits by referring to Frederik's theory. This study uses a qualitative approach to analyze the types and meanings of figurative language found in song lyrics. Data were obtained from all songs in the album. The results of the analysis show that the most frequent type of figurative language is symbols (42.86%), while the least frequent are hyperbole, litotes, metonymy, and paradox. These findings reveal that figurative language plays an important role in enriching the meaning and emotional depth of song lyrics.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study analyzing the persuasive language found in Instagram captions of four skincare advertisements: Pond’s (@pondsindonesia), Skintific (@skintificid), Somethinc (@somethincofficial), and The Originote (@theoriginote). The types of persuasive language were identified based on Lamb’s theory (2014). Using a descriptive qualitative method, the researcher collected forty data samples from the four skincare brands, with each brand contributing ten Instagram posts. From the forty captions analyzed, the distribution of persuasive language features was as follows: alliteration (1 caption), allusion (4 captions), analogy (2 captions), appeals (3 captions), cliché (1 caption), colloquial language (1 caption), connotation (1 caption), emotive language (3 captions) , evidence (4 captions), hyperbole (2 captions), imagery (1 caption), inclusive language (3 captions), jargon (2 captions), metaphor (3 captions), pun (3 captions), and rhetorical question (6 captions). Among all the persuasive language features identified, rhetorical questions were the most frequently used in skincare advertisements. This highlights the strategic role of rhetorical questions in engaging consumers through Instagram captions. Building on these findings, future research could expand the dataset, compare platforms or product categories, and examine audience responses to evaluate the effectiveness of such strategies.

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve the speaking ability of first-year students at SMP Negeri 1 Kebumen through the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model, targeting the enhancement of student’s 21st century skills. The study was conducted in class VII A, involving 30 students as the sample. The research was implemented in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected using both qualitative and quantitative methods, including speaking tests, observation sheets, and student interviews. The instruments employed for data collection were validated for reliability and consistency. The implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model can significantly improve students’ speaking skill as well as foster their 21st century skills, such as engagement, critical thinking, and communication. The results indicated a significant improvement in the students' speaking skill, as evidenced by the increased mean scores from the pre-test to the post-test in both cycles. Additionally, the students demonstrated enhanced engagement, critical thinking, and communication skills. Findings confirm that the CTL model is effective in improving student’s speaking skill and simultaneously strengthening their 21st century skills. Therefore, the CTL model can be recommended as a valuable strategy for enhancing both linguistic proficiency and essential competencies in junior high school students.
