Abstract

This study explores secondary school EFL learners' preferences for multimodal learning materials, which addresses the need for learner-centered strategies in 21st century education. Although existing research highlights the general benefits of multimodal teaching, few studies have examined students' specific preferences for text, audio, and video formats. Using a quantitative descriptive design, data was collected from 132 junior high school students in Indonesia through a VARK-based questionnaire and Likert-scale items. The results showed that video was the most preferred medium (50.8%), followed by text and audio. Students reported that video materials were more engaging and effective in improving comprehension and motivation. Although the VARK model provides background insights, this study shows that learners' actual media choices have more influence on instructional design. This demands the use of multimedia resources that reflect students' preferences and enhance engagement in EFL learning.

Abstract

Oral corrective feedback (OCF) plays an important role in helping to develop students’ speaking skills in the EFL classroom. In practice, the application of OCF varies depending on teaching style and classroom conditions. This research investigates the types and implementations of OCF by seventh-grade English teachers in a private school, MTs NU Mranggen, in teaching speaking skills. This qualitative single case study used observation and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that teachers used three types of OCF: rephrasing, explicit correction, and request for clarification, with rephrasing being the most frequently used as it allowed teachers to correct errors without interrupting the interaction process. In addition, OCF often appeared at the main activity stage, especially when students interacted with the teacher. Based on the findings, it is suggested that teachers use OCF techniques in a more planned way to improve students’ speaking ability in the EFL classroom.

Abstract

Questioning strategies are a significant way for EFL teachers to encourage student’s participation and interaction in learning a language, particularly at the secondary level. This research examined the types and applications of questioning strategies used by a seventh-grade English teacher in an EFL classroom at MTs NU Mranggen in Central Java, Indonesia. A qualitative case study methodology gathered video-recorded lessons and teacher interviews, and analysed thematically. The study outcomes revealed that teachers used four types of strategies—prompting (14), probing (7), repetition (3) and redirecting (1)—with prompting dominant across lesson stages. The prompting strategy was often employed because it increases students' thought processes and improves critical thinking. The teacher employed these strategies at the lesson's opening, main, and closing activities. Educators and researchers can use the insights to improve their approaches and establish a dynamic learning environment.
