Abstract

The integration of e-learning platforms in university settings has experienced notable growth, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative case study explored university lecturers' perceptions regarding the use of e-learning for teaching English literacy skills, specifically reading and writing. Semi-structured interviews were utilized for data collection with six lecturers from the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, who taught literacy courses during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings revealed a spectrum of lecturers' experiences, beliefs, and attitudes toward e-learning-based literacy instruction. While initial challenges were encountered during the transition to online learning, the lecturers recognized benefits such as flexibility, efficient material sharing, and enabling remote assignments. However, connectivity issues, difficulties monitoring student progress, and the need for robust technological skills were identified as significant challenges. The lecturers advocated learner-centered, multimodal pedagogical approaches and emphasized the importance of balanced, blended learning that integrates both traditional classroom and online elements. The study highlights the potential of e-learning for enhancing English literacy education while underscoring the need to address infrastructural and pedagogical barriers.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between self-awareness and English-speaking ability among second-grade students at SMAN 3 Majene, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the research examined 17 students selected through cluster random sampling from a population of 51. Data were collected using a self-awareness questionnaire assessing emotional awareness, self-assessment, and self-confidence, alongside a speaking ability test. Results revealed high levels of self-awareness among participants, with most reaching the "permanent" level, indicating strong self-reflection capabilities. Speaking abilities were predominantly rated as "good." However, statistical analysis showed a weak correlation between self-awareness and speaking ability, challenging the assumption of a direct link between these variables. This finding suggests that while self-awareness may contribute to internal motivation, it does not automatically translate to enhanced speaking performance in this EFL context. The study highlights the need for comprehensive pedagogical strategies that complement self-awareness development with targeted language instruction to improve EFL speaking skills effectively.

Abstract

This study explores the English-speaking challenges and coping strategies of introverted learners in an Indonesian senior high school EFL context. Using a qualitative descriptive design, ten eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Wonomulyo were purposively selected based on a personality assessment identifying them as introverted. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, a speaking test, and questionnaires. The findings reveal that introverted students commonly face difficulties in speaking tasks due to fear of judgment, discomfort in group settings, hesitation in expressing ideas, and slow verbal processing. These psychological and linguistic barriers significantly affect their classroom participation and oral performance. However, the students also demonstrated adaptive strategies such as memorizing prepared texts, managing their preparation time effectively, and responding positively to motivational support from teachers and peers. Additionally, they expressed a preference for game-based and relaxed learning environments that reduce performance pressure. The study highlights the need for inclusive and responsive language teaching practices that cater to diverse learner personalities. It contributes to the growing understanding of how personality traits influence language learning and provides practical implications for fostering speaking confidence among introverted learners in EFL classrooms.
