Abstract

This ethnographic study explores the challenges faced by English language teachers in remote areas with strong local language cultures, with a focus on SMPN 1 Kabangka, located in Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. The study is guided by Ethnolinguistic Identity Theory, which emphasizes the role of language in shaping group identity and social belonging. In regions where a local language—such as Muna—is strongly embedded in daily communication, the introduction of English in the classroom creates both linguistic and cultural tensions.Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with three English teachers. The findings reveal that the dominance of the Muna language significantly affects instructional delivery, student engagement, and the development of English language skills. Teachers often resort to code-switching between English, Indonesian, and Muna to facilitate comprehension, but this strategy reduces consistent exposure to English and can impede learners’ language acquisition.Additional challenges include limited access to teaching resources, lack of professional development tailored to multilingual contexts, and the misalignment between the national curriculum and local linguistic realities. Students’ low motivation to learn English is also linked to their stronger identification with the local language, reinforcing the relevance of Ethnolinguistic Identity Theory in this context. Despite these obstacles, teachers demonstrate resilience and adaptability by incorporating local culture into English instruction, simplifying materials, and building rapport with students.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the flipped learning model in teaching listening comprehension to students. Using a quasi-experimental design, 48 students were divided into an experimental group, which received flipped learning, and a control group, which received conventional learning. Pre-test and post-test assessments measured listening comprehension achievement, while questionnaires explored students’ perceptions and difficulties with the flipped learning model. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in pre-test scores between the groups, confirming initial equivalence. However, post-test results showed significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group, with a large effect size (Cohen’s d > 1.5. In addition, all students in the experimental group exceeded the minimum mastery criterion. Questionnaire data showed that students perceived the flipped classroom positively and reported minimal difficulties in adapting to the model. These findings suggest that flipped learning not only improves listening comprehension outcomes but also promotes greater student engagement and autonomy. This study supports the integration of the flipped classroom as an effective pedagogical approach in language education.

Abstract

This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to explore students’ perceptions of lecturer code-switching in a hybrid English learning environment at IAIN Bone, South Sulawesi. The research site, IAIN Bone, is the largest higher education institution in Bone Regency, where hybrid learning known as combining online and offline instruction and it is still practiced there. This location was chosen based on initial observations showing that many students struggle to fully understand lessons delivered entirely in English. Participants in the study were fourth-semester students enrolled in an English Education hybrid class during the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and continued until data saturation was achieved. The findings indicate that code-switching positively influenced students’ learning experiences. Students reported that bilingualism in the context of code-switching helped them better understand the material, reduced their anxiety during lessons, and supported vocabulary development. They viewed the use of both Indonesian and English by lecturers not as a hindrance, but as a helpful instructional strategy. Overall, the students expressed favorable perceptions of code-switching, considering it an inclusive and effective approach in hybrid English language instruction. These insights suggest that code-switching can play a meaningful role in supporting student comprehension and engagement in bilingual learning environments.

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.
