Abstract

Recently, the readability of texts has become the focus of reading research because it is believed to have implications for reading comprehension, which is of utmost importance in the field of English as a foreign language (EFL), particularly in the teaching, learning and assessment of reading comprehension. Unfortunately, the influence of text readability on reading comprehension (and reading time) has not been well studied in the EFL context. Most text readability studies are conducted in medical contexts, but these studies are often limited in predicting readability scores for sample texts. To address this gap, the current study aimed to evaluate the influence of text readability levels (based on the Flesch-Kincaid grade level (FKGL)) on students’ reading comprehension and reading time. Data were collected through reading test and analyzed using SPSS version 22. The Friedman test revealed that the distribution of students' reading comprehension score (X2=197.532, p=0.000) and reading time (X2=215.323, p=0.000) are different in each text, suggesting that the readability of texts has a significant influence on both. This study contributed to the practices of reading instruction and assessment. Limitations and suggestions for further research are briefly discussed.

Abstract

This study investigatres the language learning strategies utilized by two proficient EFL learners in learning speaking skills. The present descriptive case study probes and narrates the accounts of two proficient English speakers related to the language learning strategies they employed in learning speaking skills. The two proficient English speakers were perceived as credible and ellible sources for this study as they possess the required TOEFL score for proficient learners as indicated by the English Testing Service (ETS), which is around 543-627 in range. The data used in this study were obtained through four semi-structured interviews conducted via Zoom meetings with the participats. A document in the form of participants’ detailed learning schedules was also gathered to enhance data trustworthiness. Subsequently, the data collected were analysed thematically, generating seven categories of language learning strategies. Findings indicate that both participants utilized all seven strategies performed as the most frequently used strategy. It implies tht both participants often plan, arrange and evaluate their learning in advance. The study also found that few strategies were employed at the early stage of leanring and are no longer in use at present.

Abstract

The students’ engagement has increasingly become a spotlight in learning, especially in learning English. There are two essential components in engagement which are cognitive and behavioral, which are investments to achieve success in learning. However, the students’ disengagement in EFL classrooms has become a concern in various countries. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine how implementing another learning method, project-based learning, can promote students’ engagement. The writer conducted qualitative research in a senior high school in Medan involving one teacher and students in grade 11. the writer conducted observation and interview. The results from the data obtained concluded that the six steps of project-based learning promoted the students’ engagement, including cognitive and behavioral engagement. This current study contributes to giving the teachers an additional strategy for promoting the students’ engagement using project-based learning. These findings suggest further development related to focusing on various students’ engagement, including cognitive, emotional, and behavioral, to increase the learning outcomes in other schools.

Abstract

The alignment between learning objectives and assessment practices is critical to effective language teaching and learning. This study explores the alignment between learning objectives and assessment practices in English classes at a public senior high school in Jakarta, Indonesia. Grounded in a qualitative case study using Bigg’s constructive alignment framework, the study emphasizes the essential connection among learning objectives, teaching methods, and assessment practices. Involving three selected English teachers, documents comprising lesson plans and assessment instruments, classroom observation, and semi-structured interviews were employed to collect data. Findings indicate that the assessment tasks mostly align with the learning objectives. The assessments focus on the higher level of understanding: extended abstract and relational. However, misalignment between assessment and learning objective is found in this study, based on the missing assessment tasks and incomplete learning objectives stated in the lesson plans. Time constraints, lesson planning issues, and difficulties in designing assessment tasks and rubrics hinder the alignment. It implies that teachers require professional development programs on language assessment literacy and lesson planning, collaborative work with colleagues, and technology integration to maintain alignment, particularly in the context of education reforms. This study contributes to the existing research on constructive alignment in English classroom assessments. It provides insights into how alignment can improve student learning in English classrooms.

Abstract

Learner autonomy is essential in young learners’ language development, yet its implementation remains limited at the elementary level, particularly in contexts rooted in teacher-centered traditions. This study examined the understanding of elementary EFL teachers and the strategies they use to foster learner autonomy in EYL classrooms in Indonesia, employing a sequential mixed-methods design. The study commenced with a survey of 34 teachers, followed by semi-structured interviews with four selected teachers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze survey data, while thematic analysis was applied to interview transcripts. The findings revealed that most teachers have a positive understanding of learner autonomy, with a particular emphasis on their role as facilitators and motivators. Teachers applied various strategies to foster autonomy, such as providing choice in learning activities and giving positive feedback. However, this positive orientation was contrasted by the presence of teacher skepticism regarding young learners’ readiness for autonomy. These findings suggest that while the conceptual understanding of learner autonomy is present, its implementation still requires targeted professional development focusing on age-appropriate pedagogical scaffolding and practical tools to move teachers beyond conceptual understanding to consistent autonomous practice.

Abstract

Online learning has become a common way to deliver instruction, particularly in hybrid educational models. However, teaching speaking skills presents unique challenges because it requires real-time interaction, pronunciation practice, and fluency development. This study investigates the challenges senior high school English teachers face when teaching speaking online, the strategies they employ, and the support they require. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected from 20 teachers through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with four of them. Thematic analysis revealed four main challenges: low student engagement, time constraints that hindered feedback on pronunciation and accuracy, limited resources for authentic speaking tasks, and technical difficulties that disrupted fluency and real-time communication. To address these issues, teachers implemented various strategies. Group discussions encouraged interaction and confidence; presentations supported fluency, vocabulary, and idea organization; role-plays helped reduce anxiety and provided opportunities to practice pronunciation in contextual settings; and debates enhanced fluency, reasoning, and spontaneous speaking. The teachers also emphasized the need for engaging teaching materials, technology training, and collaborative professional development. The study concludes that although online speaking instruction presents significant challenges, strategies combined with institutional support can foster students’ fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, intonation, and comprehension. It is recommended that schools provide engaging digital materials, targeted teacher training, and reliable infrastructure to enhance the effectiveness of online speaking instruction.
