Abstract

Drama, English Camp, and Tourism are considered effective strategies for improving students' conversational skills in secondary schools. However, studies exploring the integration of these three approaches are still limited. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to explore students’ experiences in an innovative English learning program, specifically through Drama (English Performance), English Camp, and Edutrip (Tourism), and to identify the benefits and challenges encountered in improving their speaking skills. The study is driven by students’ low interest and lack of self-confidence in speaking English in conventional classroom settings, highlighting the need for innovative and engaging learning environments. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and documentation involving six students from a global class at one Muhammadiyah junior high school in Surakarta who participated in the English Conversation Program. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the English Conversation Program offered enjoyable and contextual learning experiences, improving students’ confidence, fluency, pronunciation, and spontaneous speaking ability. The main challenges faced included pronunciation difficulties, anxiety, and limited vocabulary, which were addressed through self-practice, peer collaboration, and vocabulary preparation. This study highlights the importance of experiential learning in enhancing students’ English speaking skills.

Abstract

South Asian Muslim women's fiction remains relatively underrepresented in Anglophone literary scholarship, particularly writing produced in Indian regional languages. This article examines Banu Mushtaq’s Heart Lamp: Selected Stories (trans. Deepa Bhasthi, 2025) to analyze how feminine temporality is constructed and negotiated in South Asian Muslim women's everyday lives. Drawing on feminist temporality theory, particularly the work of Kristeva, Freeman, and Sharma, and feminist narratology, the study conducts close readings of selected stories from the collection. The analysis identifies four recurring temporal modes: waiting, bodily time, domestic repetition, and counter-temporal rupture, and examines how these are structured through narrative form. The article argues that Mushtaq's fiction constitutes a counter-temporal literary project that resists the linear time of patriarchal and national modernity by centering embodied, cyclical, and constrained temporalities. The study contributes to feminist literary scholarship on South Asian Muslim women's writing and demonstrates the relevance of feminist temporality frameworks for reading Kannada regional fiction.

Abstract

Kualitas guru berpengaruh keberhasilan proses belajar mengajar. Latihan refleksi membantu guru mengembangkan kualitas dan kemampuan diri. Namun, refleksi sering dilakukan secara tidak terstruktur dan hanya sebagai formalitas administratif, seperti dalam penelitian tindakan kelas untuk pengembangan karir. Kondisi ini juga ditemukan pada guru-guru Muhammadiyah di Sukoharjo, Jawa Tengah. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, dilakukan lokakarya yang bertujuan meningkatkan kemampuan guru dalam pengajaran reflektif, termasuk melatih refleksi diri, identifikasi masalah, serta perencanaan solusi berbasis teori. Lokakarya ini diikuti oleh 23 guru sekolah menengah Muhammadiyah dan dilaksanakan dalam tiga tahap: persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan praktik reflektif di sekolah. Terdapat lima sesi dalam lokakarya, mulai dari pengenalan refleksi menggunakan teknik KWL, praktik refleksi, identifikasi masalah dan solusi, diskusi tentang pembelajaran reflektif melalui penelitian tindakan kelas, hingga refleksi atas kegiatan lokakarya. Guru juga mempresentasikan hasil pembelajaran mereka. Lokakarya ini terbukti efektif dalam menyegarkan kembali pengetahuan akademik dan pedagogis guru serta membantu mereka merancang solusi atas masalah yang dihadapi, sehingga berdampak pada peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran.
