This study aims to explore the challenges of primary school teachers in teaching online English to young learners in the pandemic era and teachers’ views toward teaching online English. The teachers also provide the solutions to overcome the problems. This is a qualitative research that employs a case study as the approach. The data are obtained through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 20 English teachers of primary schools. The results show many challenges emerged from three sides: instructional activity, time management, and student assessment. Challenges of instructional activity cover students’ motivation, English levels of student proficiency, communication, cooperative learning, and teaching writing. Time management challenges include having a limited amount of time and providing feedback. Meanwhile, student assessments assess students’ attitudes and cognitive skills. This study suggests the administrators and authorities of education policymakers evaluate the guidelines to enhance the quality of online teaching, especially for elementary schools.

Abstract One of the skills vocational education students must master in English courses is understanding the language of instruction or procedures in English. A total of 24 vocational education students at the Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe participated in filling out the questionnaires distributed online. Data were collected using the convenience sampling technique for two weeks from the date of August 26, 2020 until September 9, 2020. The data were analyzed qualitatively using the Miles and Huberman model. Data analysis consists of four stages, extensive coding, pattern coding, distilling and making propositions. The results showed that the majority of vocational education students at PNL were visual learners. The inclusion of pictures in the English instruction material is very helpful in understanding the text of the instructions given. Students prefer English instruction materials that are equipped with pictures rather than just pictures or just text. Students also use google translate to understand unfamiliar words to understand English instruction texts.

Teachers bring various experiences to the classroom, and their beliefs about ‘creative teaching’ or ‘good teaching’ practices are frequently influenced by various factors, including their own teaching experiences, individual motivation, and organizational constraints. This context frames their early efforts to develop creative practices, and recognition of influences further affects the level of creativity displayed by teachers. This study aims to ascertain the factors that affected teachers’ creativity in English language teaching (ELT) in contemporary Indonesian higher education. We interviewed twenty Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers about the factors influencing their creativity and their motivations for teaching creatively. We identified three factors which influenced teachers’ creativity: their knowledge and teaching experiences, their motivation, and the role of technology. These three factors served as a guide for teachers regarding how they might integrate creativity into their teaching practice. Additionally, Indonesian EFL teachers believed that their creativity was necessary to assist students in learning, create an enjoyable learning experience, and encourage students to be creative. This belief appears to be partially due to the affordance of the rapidly changing digital environment which enables student-centred and self-directed learning. Finally, this study indicates that creativity is not instinctive to teachers; however, they can nurture their creativity by accepting their innovative ideas through developing their abilities to teach creatively.

Bahasa Inggris merupakan bahasa internasional yang memiliki peran penting dalam menghubungkan berbagai masyarakat di seluruh dunia. Data dari survei EF EPI (English Proficiency Index) menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia memiliki skor kemampuan bahasa Inggris sebesar 52.12. Sebagai respons terhadap hal ini, sebuah platform media pembelajaran berbasis Android telah dikembangkan. Platform ini berkomunikasi dengan server cloud yang diatur melalui teknologi Docker. Aplikasi ini menjalani pengujian sistem menggunakan metode black box testing. Hasil dari pengujian ini menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi ini memiliki tingkat kelayakan sebesar 94% dari 50 pengguna yang berpartisipasi dalam pengujian. Selain itu, pengujian kepuasan aplikasi dengan melibatkan 50 responden menunjukkan bahwa 85% dari mereka merasa puas dengan aplikasi pembelajaran ini, sementara 15% menyatakan ketidakpuasan. Hasil dari implementasi performa cloud computing mendapatkan nilai rata-rata 8,38 permintaan per detik pada waktu respon 1 detik dengan 1/1000 permintaan. Ketika pengguna meningkat 10/1000 pengguna mendapatkan nilai rata-rata 34,19 permintaan per detik dengan waktu respon 1 detik. Cloud computing pada aplikasi berfungsi dengan baik dan aplikasi dapat diakses sampai 1000 pengguna.Kata kunci : Android, Media Pembelajaran, Cloud Computing, Blackbox Testing AbstractEnglish is an international language that plays a crucial role in connecting various societies around the world.

This study examines community perceptions and levels of interest in the establishment of a state polytechnic in the West-South Aceh region, particularly following the collaborative initiative of D4 programs by Akademi Komunitas Negeri Aceh Barat (AKN Aceh Barat) and Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe (PNL). Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected through an online survey completed by 242 respondents. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were applied to assess perceptions across three key indicators: the urgency of establishing a polytechnic, personal interest in attending, and family interest in polytechnic education. Results indicate overwhelming support across demographic groups, with over 93% consider the establishment urgent, and more than 84% expressed personal or familial interest. Although men showed significantly higher personal interest than women, no significant differences were observed by region or education level. Community preferences for mining, maritime, and informatics programs demonstrate a clear connection to the region’s workforce demands and industrial profile. These findings provide strong empirical support for upgrading AKN Aceh Barat into a state polytechnic, addressing both educational and regional workforce development needs.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education has gained significant attention over the past few years, driven by the potential of AI to revolutionize teaching and learning processes. Despite the growing body of research on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, there remains a significant gap in understanding its trends and specific details within English Language Teaching (ELT). This study presents an analysis and snapshot of contemporary research trends in AI applications in ELT using bibliometric analysis. By leveraging publication from the 2019-2024 Scopus database, key patterns and themes within the existing literature are identified. The study systematically collected and analyzed 1,994 documents, including articles, conference papers, and reviews from 522 sources and 3,316 authors. The analyses identify the most productive authors, sources, affiliations, and countries. Additional bibliographic coupling analysis reveals seven main clusters. These clusters range from AI applications in contextual language learning to big data analysis in ELT. Co-occurrence network analysis further underscores the interconnectedness of various research topics, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and autonomous learning systems. The findings have several important implications. The growing body of research indicates that AI technologies are increasingly being integrated into educational practices, offering more personalized, efficient, and engaging learning experiences. This study provides a detailed overview of the current landscape of AI research in ELT. By understanding these dynamics, educators, researchers, and policymakers can better leverage AI technologies to enhance educational outcomes and address the evolving needs of learners in a rapidly changing digital world.
