Abstract

This study explores university lecturers’ perceptions and experiences in implementing the Critical Literacy Approach (CLA) in teaching Critical Reading within the context of Indonesian higher education. In contrast to most previous research that focused on students’ learning outcomes or curriculum design, this investigation centers on lecturers’ pedagogical agency and their contextual adaptations of CLA. Using a descriptive qualitative case study design, three lecturers from different universities participated in in-depth interviews and semester-long classroom observations. Thematic analysis revealed that lecturers’ entry into critical literacy emerged through distinct pathways: self-directed study, reflective classroom practice, and formal graduate education. These trajectories informed how each lecturer interpreted and modified CLA that ranging from integrating discourse analysis and media literacy to using literature for social critique. Despite methodological variations, all lecturers shared a strong commitment to cultivating students’ critical thinking and sociopolitical awareness. However, the implementation was not without challenges: emotional discomfort around sensitive topics, student disengagement, and limited instructional time frequently emerged. Even so, the lecturers employed adaptive strategies to sustain dialogue and scaffold critical reflection. These findings highlight that effective CLA practice depends not only on theoretical understanding but also on emotional intelligence, contextual sensitivity, and institutional support. By foregrounding lecturers’ voices, this study contributes a practice-oriented perspective on critical literacy, urging a reorientation of research and policy to recognize educators as key agents of critical pedagogy in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

Like a double-edged sword of technology, the swift development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT) has generated both benefits and drawbacks. While AI offers efficiency, personalization, and diverse learning resources, its integration requires critical consideration of pedagogical, ethical, and contextual factors. This study investigates how EFL educators in Indonesian higher education perceive, adopt, and adapt AI tools in their teaching, focusing on acceptance, practical use, perceived risks, and training needs. This study applied a qualitative case study approach, in which five lecturers with previous experience in using AI for language teaching were interviewed through a semi-structured format. The collected data were examined using thematic analysis, guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the framework of professional development theory. Findings reveal varied acceptance levels, such as some educators demonstrate a high adoption tendency, others adopt it selectively to align with pedagogical goals, and some engage in critical adoption with verification. Reported benefits include time savings in material preparation, enhanced engagement, and increased flexibility., Meanwhile, concerns involve content accuracy, over-reliance by students, reduced teacher–student interaction, and uneven digital infrastructure. Most participants expressed the need for targeted, practice-oriented training, particularly in designing AI-assisted learning media. The research highlights that institutional support, clear ethical frameworks, and continuous professional training are essential to guarantee that AI functions as a supportive tool rather than substituting teachers’ expertise.  Beyond highlighting varied adoption tendencies and training needs, this study informs the development of professional development programs and ethical guidelines tailored to the realities of Indonesian higher education. While the study is limited to a small number of lecturers in a single context, it opens pathways for comparative and longitudinal research that can further enrich global understanding of AI integration in EFL education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how peer support facilitates the teaching and learning process of speaking among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students at Pattimura University. The background of this research is rooted in common challenges encountered by EFL learners, particularly difficulties in developing speaking skills due to anxiety, low self-confidence, limited vocabulary, and insufficient opportunities for authentic communication in English. These challenges often hinder students’ active participation in speaking activities. Therefore, peer support is considered a promising instructional approach that emphasises collaboration, mutual assistance, and horizontal interaction among students, creating a supportive and less intimidating learning environment. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research design to obtain an in-depth understanding of how peer support is implemented, how students perceive its impact, and what challenges arise during its application in speaking instruction. The participants of this study were students from the English Education Study Program at Pattimura University who actively engaged in peer-support-based speaking activities. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The collected data were then analysed using the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing as proposed by Miles and Huberman to ensure systematic and meaningful interpretation. The findings reveal that peer support was implemented through various strategies, including peer tutoring, cooperative learning, and peer feedback. These approaches were found to be effective in increasing students’ active participation, reducing anxiety when speaking, and fostering greater learner autonomy. Students reported that learning with peers helped them feel more confident, motivated, and comfortable expressing ideas in English. Additionally, peer interaction encouraged constructive feedback and collaborative problem-solving. However, several challenges were identified, such as differences in language proficiency among students, unequal participation within groups, and limited instructional time. Overall, this study highlights the significant role of peer support in enhancing EFL students’ speaking skills and provides valuable insights for educators in designing more collaborative, inclusive, and student-centred learning environments

Abstract

This study analyzes the challenges and strategies in enhancing English vocabulary mastery among high school students at UPT SMA Negeri 8 Makassar. The research involved ten students from grades X and XI, with data collected through semi-structured interviews. Findings show that students face significant challenges, including a lack of motivation, cognitive overload leading to forgetfulness, fear of making mistakes due to peer ridicule, limited practice opportunities, absence of teacher feedback, and restricted access to technology in class. To overcome these challenges, students actively employ self-initiated strategies, such as repetitive memorization, learning through English songs/movies/social media (TikTok, Instagram Reels), using mnemonic techniques, creating thematic word maps, playing informal vocabulary games during breaks, and participating in the English club (EFORS). Some also use apps like Duolingo. This study concludes that while students are resourceful, teachers must adopt more supportive, technology-integrated, and communicative methods to reduce anxiety and improve long-term retention.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions, impacts, and challenges regarding the application of Presentation Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in enhancing English presentation skills. A descriptive qualitative method was used, involving ten purposively selected students as participants. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that in terms of perception, most students expressed positive views such as increased self confidence, motivation, active participation, and collaboration in group work. Nevertheless, negative perceptions also emerged, including emotional pressure, anxiety, group conflicts, and incompatibility of the method with certain learning styles. In terms of impact, TBLT was found to positively influence students’ fluency, vocabulary accuracy, courage to present, ability to organize presentation content systematically, and readiness to face real-life presentation situations. Meanwhile, regarding challenges, students encountered internal barriers such as nervousness, limited vocabulary and grammar, and difficulty in structuring ideas quickly. External obstacles included time constraints, academic workload, unequal task distribution in groups, and an academic environment that created performance pressure.

Abstract

The increasing use of English in smartphone-based online games opens up opportunities for students to acquire vocabulary through informal learning experiences. This study aims to analyze the influence of smartphone online games on English vocabulary mastery among students at SMK Telkom Makassar, particularly those participating in E-sports extracurricular activities. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection through observation and interviews with students who actively play games such as Mobile Legends, Free Fire, and PUBG. The findings indicate that students spend 5–12 hours per day playing games, and through repeated exposure to game features, including instructions, character skills, system notifications, and player-to-player communication, they acquire new vocabulary contextually, such as loot, revive, spell, lane, and gather. The results confirm that smartphone online games can be a positive tool for vocabulary acquisition through repeated and meaningful language exposure, thus potentially being used as a supporting strategy in the language learning process in schools.
