Abstract. Student success is one of key goals of higher education, thus necessary steps are taken to identify how it can be achieved. However, students vary in their ability and performance in completing their studies with various factors attributing to these variations. This study offers identification of the factors within the context of English language program. Examining students’ perception, it attempts to reveal ways in which personal, internal, and external factors and different stages of study may interact to influence student's academic performance. The primary data was a Google Form Questionnaire to 217 students (n=217) of the English literature study program in a state university in Yogyakarta. Through descriptive statistics, the Likert Rating Scale data were analyzed using R. Qualitative data underwent reduction, categorization, and representation using R Qualitative Data Analysis (RQDA). Findings reveal that the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) satisfied the goodness of fit criterion. The linear regression analysis using the variables from the CFA model revealed that University Learning Facilities, Liking one’s study program, Courses meeting students’ expectations, and Student's Interest in the courses explained 51.31% of the variation (R-squared=0.513) in Students' Academic Performance. However, lecturers negatively impact students’ success, alongside factors like mental health. Further research through in-depth interviews with alumni could establish a more supportive academic system.Keywords: CFA, EFA, student’s academic performance, motivation factors, obstructing factors

This study aims to measure the extent of the Kahoot! Effectiveness in improving the professional competence of English teachers in terms of memorizing vocabulary. The study was conducted in the teacher working group (KKG or MGMP) by taking 30 English teachers at random. The system that will be carried out is by control and experiment class then compares the scores both of them. In addition, an in-depth exploration (mix method) was conducted by interviewing the teacher whether the Kahoot! may be used in the next forum. The results of the study showed that control group only could memorize 5,33 in average however experiment class got 8,6 in average so it means that there is 33% distinction between both of them. Then, this result is strengthened by calculation on Wilcoxon Signed Rank that showed that the sig value 0,002 is greater than 0.05 so it also means like aforementioned. Kahoot app! found it very helpful in memorizing vocabulary because of its flexibility that it can be accessed from anywhere (e-class) but there are still many senior teachers, who are technology savvy, cannot access kahoot! especially if it will be implemented in the KKG or MGMP of English teachers.

This study intended to investigate International Posture and Intercultural Awareness of Indonesian L2 learners of English who studied at English Language departments. It also sought to investigate the extent to which learners' International Posture influenced their Intercultural Awareness. It was conducted to fill the gap in the literature on the scarcity of studies on International Posture and Intercultural Awareness in Indonesia despite the likelihood of communication prospects in English with international people. To this end, it involved 73 participants studying in English Language Education departments at two universities in Java, Indonesia, in a survey. Through descriptive statistics on SPSS, the study found a quite high level of Intergroup Approach-Avoidance Tendencies (IAAT), the first dimension of International Posture. It also found a moderate-high level of Interest in International Vocation and Activities (IIVA), the second dimension of International Posture. Furthermore, the participants’ awareness of their own cultures and those of others was generally high though some of the participants' awareness of specific aspects of other cultures was reported to be low. Using multiple regression, the study found that generally, the participants’ International Posture significantly influenced their Intercultural Awareness, accounting for 22.3% of the total variance in Intercultural Awareness. However, from the beta coefficient analysis, it was found that only the participants’ IAAT significantly influenced their Intercultural Awareness in a positive direction. Their IIVA did not significantly influence it. The findings highlighted the need to nurture second/foreign language (L2) learners’ International Posture and conduct further investigation on the possible impacts of learners’ International Posture on learners’ ICC in general.

Politeness might lessen imposition in argumentative conversations which potentially result in conflict. However, different conventions on politeness among different cultures may cause problems for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners who often transfer their native communication preferences to their target language usage. This article explores the (im)politeness employed by multilingual EFL learners in casual agreeing-disagreeing exchanges among peers. Using explanatory sequential mixed method design, students utterances in role plays were analyzed based on Leechs (2014) politeness theory, Kakavas (1993) disagreement strategies, as well as Lochers (2004) mitigating strategies on disagreement. It is found that in conversations with people of equal status and power, the observance of politeness maxims is more apparent than the violation. It indicates that maintaining others faces is essential irrespective of age differences, even in arguing conversations. The more frequent use of positive politeness than negative politeness strategies represents their greater orientation to others than to themselves. The prevalence of mitigated disagreement and the frequent use of an appreciation preface also show their priority to maintaining good relationships. Those findings support the view of Asians as a collectivistic group whose primary concern in communication is group membership. This suggests that awareness of politeness in argumentative conversations among EFL learners must be increased by giving them different perspectives from non-Asian cultures.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has accelerated significantly, yet there remains a gap in systematic research exploring its role in English language learning. This systematic review examines 21 studies (2022–2024) on ChatGPT's role in English learning, focusing on its use by students and teachers, as well as its benefits and challenges. Following PRISMA guidelines, this review analyzes data from Scopus, ERIC, and Google Scholar using thematic analysis to identify key themes. The findings reveal that students employ ChatGPT for academic writing assistance, vocabulary development, and idea generation, while teachers leverage it for lesson planning, instructional material preparation, and student assessment. The advantages include enhanced motivation, improved writing proficiency, and personalized learning experiences. However, concerns such as over-reliance on AI, ethical dilemmas, and data privacy risks persist. This study underscores the potential of ChatGPT in fostering interactive and engaging language learning environments, advocating for a balanced integration of AI and traditional pedagogical approaches. The investigation of the sustained implication of ChatGPT use and approach to maximize the application in educational settings should be conducted for the future research.

Abstract: Amid the global shift toward digital education, the professional growth of teachers is increasingly shaped by their ability to integrate technology into pedagogical practice. However, Arabic language teachers often face systemic barriers in accessing relevant and effective technology-driven professional development. This conceptual paper investigates the underexplored intersection between educational technology and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Arabic language educators, particularly in the context of Indonesia. Drawing on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), Professional Competence Theory, and Andragogy, the study proposes a contextualized CPD framework that addresses the unique instructional demands of Arabic teaching. It critically analyzes current limitations in teacher training such as low digital literacy, limited subject-specific support, and a mismatch between CPD content and classroom realities. Moreover, the paper underscores the scarcity of scholarly attention to Arabic teacher development in the broader discourse on technology-enhanced learning. By bridging theory and practice, this article contributes a model for inclusive and sustainable CPD that empowers Arabic teachers to design more engaging and culturally relevant learning experiences. The proposed framework has implications for educational policy, curriculum design, and future empirical research in multilingual and digitally evolving contexts. Abstrak: Di tengah pergeseran global menuju pendidikan digital, pertumbuhan profesional guru semakin dibentuk oleh kemampuan mereka untuk mengintegrasikan teknologi ke dalam praktik pedagogi. Namun, guru bahasa Arab sering menghadapi hambatan sistemik dalam mengakses pengembangan profesional berbasis teknologi yang relevan dan efektif. Artikel konseptual ini menyelidiki persimpangan yang belum dieksplorasi antara teknologi pendidikan dan Pengembangan Keprofesian Berkelanjutan (PKB) untuk pendidik bahasa Arab, khususnya dalam konteks Indonesia. Dengan mengacu pada TPACK, Teori Kompetensi Profesional, dan Andragogi, penelitian ini mengusulkan kerangka kerja PKB kontekstual yang membahas tuntutan instruksional yang unik dari pengajaran bahasa Arab. Studi ini secara kritis menganalisis keterbatasan saat ini dalam pelatihan guru seperti literasi digital yang rendah, dukungan mata pelajaran yang terbatas, dan ketidaksesuaian antara konten PKB dan realitas di kelas. Selain itu, artikel ini menggarisbawahi kelangkaan perhatian para akademisi terhadap pengembangan guru bahasa Arab dalam wacana yang lebih luas tentang pembelajaran yang ditingkatkan dengan teknologi. Dengan menjembatani teori dan praktik, artikel ini memberikan kontribusi berupa model PKB yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan, yang memberdayakan para guru bahasa Arab untuk merancang pengalaman belajar yang lebih menarik dan relevan secara budaya. Kerangka kerja yang diusulkan memiliki implikasi untuk kebijakan pendidikan, desain kurikulum, dan penelitian empiris di masa depan dalam konteks multibahasa dan perkembangan digital.

Background: Non-formal English education programs often lack rigorous assessment tools, resulting in challenges in evaluating student performance and guiding instructional improvements. One such program, the English Massive Program (EMAS) in Kediri, East Java, Indonesia, serves as a community-driven initiative focused on enhancing English proficiency. However, the quality of its assessments, especially in reading comprehension, remains a critical concern. Aims: This study aims to investigate how item analysis using the QUEST application can enhance the quality of diagnostic assessment and instructional strategies in non-formal English education, specifically within the EMAS program. The focus is on analysing reading comprehension tests to identify weaknesses and propose improvements in test construction. Methods: This exploratory study analysed 30 multiple-choice reading comprehension items completed by 26 junior high school students participating in the EMAS program. The QUEST application was employed to assess item difficulty, discrimination, and distractor efficiency. Results: The results showed that while most discrimination indices were within acceptable ranges, many items, especially the distractors, were too simple and ineffective. This resulted in insufficient and unbalanced discrimination values, indicating that the test items did not optimally differentiate among varying student ability levels. Implications: The study underscores the importance of integrating psychometric-based diagnostic tools in community education settings. It demonstrates how such analysis can empower educators with practical insights to improve test design, thereby enhancing assessment quality and pedagogy. The research calls for more advanced diagnostic assessment methods to support literacy and instructional planning in low-resource, non-formal educational environments.

Background: Integrating intercultural components in foreign language teaching is essential because of the interrelationship between language and culture and the need to understand native and target cultures. Integrating intercultural competence can be done appropriately if the English teacher applies appropriate teaching patterns or strategies to promote intercultural competence in the English classroom. Thus, after implementing intercultural competence, students can adapt to the global society in the future. Objective: The study focuses on revealing (1) teacher’s perceptions of intercultural competence in EFL teaching and (2) the actions they used in promoting intercultural competence in EFL teaching in some senior high schools in two different cities, Yogyakarta and Palembang. Methods: The research is a descriptive study that investigates EFL teachers’ perceptions and the application of intercultural competence in high school. Findings: (1) Participants thought that intercultural competence was crucical to be taught in EFL teaching and that intercultural components such as attitudes, knowledge and skills must be introduced to students in English classroom. It is reflected in the teaching materials, teachers’ syllabi, and information directly from participants. (2) In achieving the learning goals of promoting intercultural competence, all teachers used some actions including media, small group instructions, collaborative dialog, collaborative grouping, and internet-based intercultural contact. Conclusion: Teachers have positive perceptions of integrating of intercultural competencies practices in EFL teaching. However, teachers also faced some problems in integrating intercultural competence such as time limitations in promoting it in EFL learnig, another issue is related to the recent curriculum and EFL textbook, which does not support intercultural knowledge.
