The result of this study establishes two main findings. Firstly, the causal factors of students' speaking anxiety during online learning were divided into internal and external factors. The internal factors consisted  of lack of confidence, shyness, fear of making mistake, and feeling insecure. The external factors consisted of lack of preparation, limited vocabulary, friends or classmates, embarrassment, teachers’ teaching style.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze students' vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension in narrative texts and determine whether there was a correlation between vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension in narrative texts while considering the frequency of vocabulary acquisition. The research employed a correlational study, involving bivariate and partial correlation analyses. The participants of this study were eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 26 Makassar. The findings showed that most students' range scores were in the very poor category regarding vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension in narrative texts. This study found a significant correlation between students' vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension in narrative texts. The partial correlation analysis also showed a moderate correlation between the two variables with the frequency of vocabulary acquisition as a control variable. Thus, both variables were correlated with the frequency of vocabulary acquisition, indicating that the more frequently students acquired vocabulary, the better their vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension in narrative texts.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the teaching and learning process through the implementation of differentiated learning strategy for teaching speaking in the Merdeka Curriculum at a remote island school. Employing a case study design, data were collected through direct classroom observation. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, involving one English teacher and five eighth-grade students. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the teacher applied differentiation based on students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles by using varied speaking tasks, contextual materials, and flexible grouping. Despite constraints such as limited technology, restricted instructional time, and lack of resources, the differentiated learning strategy fostered student engagement and improved speaking confidence. The results indicate that differentiated learning, when implemented responsively, can enhance inclusive and effective speaking instruction in remote educational settings.

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.
