Abstract

This study examines the practice of translanguaging in English language learning in one of the secondary schools in Manado, which is a multilingual environment with the use of the local language of Manado, Indonesian, and English. The main objective of the study was to understand teachers' beliefs and their translanguaging practices as language mediation strategies that support concept understanding, social interaction, and student motivation. The method used was a case study with three English teachers as participants, collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically. The findings suggest that translanguaging serves as a cultural and cognitive bridge that facilitates students to understand the material more deeply and strengthen their linguistic identity. Despite concerns about reduced exposure to English due to the use of local languages and Indonesian, teachers use translanguaging strategically to balance learning. The main obstacles found are the limitations of school policies and teacher training that support the implementation of translanguaging. In addition, translanguaging has been shown to increase students' motivation to learn and active participation. This research recommends the development of teacher education and training policies that are responsive to language diversity, as well as the development of a curriculum that accommodates translanguaging as a legitimate learning strategy. This study makes an important contribution to the development of inclusive and contextual English language pedagogy in multilingual classrooms in Indonesia

Abstract

This ethnographic study investigates the integration of digital literacy in EFL classrooms in an Indonesian senior high school. Although digital literacy is essential in contemporary Education, research in rural or under-resourced environments is scarce, especially on its cultural and pedagogical aspects. The study employed a qualitative ethnographic methodology, conducted over six months at SMA Negeri 10 Kota Ternate, which incorporated participant observation, semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and field notes. The findings indicated that Education based on digital literacy was executed in three fundamental phases: planning, implementation, and evaluation. Educators incorporated available digital resources, such as YouTube, Canva, Google Forms, and Kahoot, to create engaging and interactive learning environments. Nonetheless, infrastructure limitations and varied levels of digital proficiency posed ongoing obstacles. Three emerging cultural themes—pedagogical adaptation, negotiated involvement, and reflective assessment—highlighted how educators tailored digital practices to their sociocultural setting. The study suggests that digital literacy in EFL education is both a technical process and a contextual social practice, influenced by factors such as context, agency, and resource availability. It advocates for improved teacher professional development and infrastructure to facilitate equitable and contextually relevant digital instruction in marginalised educational environments.

Abstract

This research reveals the impact of implementing the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Approach in the teaching of reading. Through the CTL approach, reading learning is integrated with real-world contexts, making learning more meaningful and relevant to students. This pedagogical framework aims to engage students in deeper understanding and critical thinking while facilitating the application of reading skills in various contexts. However, the effectiveness of CTL in reading instruction has been a subject of debate, with some studies reporting positive results while others show limited effectiveness, especially for students with low vocabulary or intelligence. This study aims to comprehensively assess the impact of CTL on reading learning, considering aspects such as vocabulary improvement, student motivation, reading comprehension, and learning outcomes. Through a qualitative approach and a multiple case study, involving 40 second-semester students from two universities in Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, this study found that CTL can significantly improve students' psychological, linguistic, and achievement factors. In terms of psychological factors, students showed increased motivation and engagement in reading activities when the material was relevant to their lives and interests. Linguistically, CTL facilitates vocabulary improvement through personalized learning strategies and culturally relevant materials. In addition, CTL had a positive impact on students' achievement in reading, which was reflected in their improved comprehension and scores. These findings suggest that CTL can effectively improve students' reading skills and motivation when implemented with consideration of contextual relevance and personalized learning approaches. However, further research is needed to understand the complex effects of CTL on various aspects of student learning outcomes. Continuous evaluation and refinement of CTL implementation are essential to maximize its effectiveness in improving students' reading skills and their academic achievement.

Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian lecturers’ perceptions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in translation education, focusing on how technology reshapes pedagogy, student engagement, and institutional practices. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with lecturers who actively integrated AI tools into translation teaching. Thematic analysis identified five major findings: perceived benefits of AI for efficiency and accessibility, pedagogical shifts and curriculum integration, challenges of student dependence and diminished critical thinking, ethical and responsible use of AI tools, and AI as a catalyst for institutional and administrative efficiency. While lecturers acknowledged AI’s transformative potential in facilitating translation tasks, they also highlighted risks of overreliance, ethical dilemmas, and uneven access. The study concludes that integration requires balancing technological affordances with humanistic values, fostering critical AI literacy, and embedding ethical considerations in pedagogy. These findings contribute to ongoing debates on AI-enhanced translation pedagogy in global higher education institutions.
