Abstract

The widespread adoption of English in Indonesia has raised concerns about its impact on local language sustainability, especially in multilingual, postcolonial regions such as East Nusa Tenggara. This study investigates how English learning can coexist with local language preservation by addressing three key issues: (1) students’ attitudes toward English and local languages, (2) the use of these languages across different domains, and (3) strategies proposed for promoting linguistic coexistence. Nineteen sixth-semester English Education students from Citra Bangsa University were selected as participants, given their future roles as language educators and policy influencers. Using a qualitative approach that included semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys, the study found a dual but sometimes conflicting orientation. The results show that participants acknowledged the instrumental value of English for education and career advancement (89%) while affirming the cultural importance of local languages (95%). In terms of usage, local languages remained dominant in-home domains (65%) but were marginalized in academic settings (5%) and peer interactions (21%), revealing a domain-specific pattern shaped by perceived language utility. To bridge this gap, participants suggested strategies such as bilingual education models (74%), community-driven language initiatives (63%), and culturally inclusive curricula. However, 47% expressed skepticism toward government-led solutions, citing lack of relevance and implementation barriers. The findings indicate that sustainable multilingualism is possible through intentional, context-sensitive strategies. The study recommends reorienting teacher education to support multilingual pedagogies, integrating local knowledge, and fostering collaboration between grassroots efforts and institutional frameworks to ensure balanced language ecologies.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the use of YouTube as a tool for self-directed listening practice among 19 sixth-semester English Education students at Citra Bangsa University, Indonesia. Through semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and usage observations, the research explores how learners engage with YouTube's features to enhance listening skills, the perceived benefits, and the challenges encountered. Findings indicate that students actively utilize YouTube's playback controls, subtitles, and content diversity to support autonomous learning, reporting improved comprehension of natural speech, better accent recognition, and expanded vocabulary. However, significant barriers emerged, including content discoverability difficulties, platform distractions, and technological limitations. The study highlights YouTube's dual role as both an empowering resource for authentic language exposure and a potentially disruptive medium requiring careful navigation. It reveals that while the platform aligns well with principles of self-directed learning (SDL), its effectiveness depends on institutional support and digital literacy training. Key implications suggest the need for structured guidance in material selection, curated playlists, and strategies to minimize distractions. The research contributes to the growing discourse on technology-enhanced language learning by providing insights from the Indonesian EFL context, where digital resources are increasingly adopted despite infrastructure challenges. Recommendations include integrating YouTube into formal curricula with scaffolding mechanisms to optimize its educational potential while addressing local constraints.

Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates the impact of Generative AI (GenAI) as a "co-author" on the creative short story writing skills of 19 fourth-semester students in the English Education Study Program at Citra Bangsa University. Amidst the growing debate on AI in education, this study explores how EFL learners utilize tools like ChatGPT to overcome challenges such as blank page syndrome and limited lexical resources. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and analysis of digital artifacts (chat logs and story drafts) following a six-week creative writing workshop. The findings reveal that GenAI significantly reduced writing anxiety by serving as an ideation partner and expanded students' descriptive vocabulary through context-specific synonyms. However, the study also highlights a complex negotiation of authorship, where students acted as "creative directors," curating AI outputs to ensure cultural relevance and narrative voice. The research concludes that integrating GenAI requires a pedagogical shift from product-oriented to process-oriented assessment, emphasizing "prompt engineering" as a critical new literacy for future English teachers

Abstract

This research examines the role of self-efficacy in the use of information technology at SMKN 1 Kupang Barat. The study adopts a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative case study with quantitative methods using Likert scales. Participants include teachers and students actively using information technology in their learning processes. The research findings indicate varying levels of self-efficacy among participants, with the majority of teachers demonstrating high self-efficacy due to training and school management support. Students exhibit diverse levels of self-efficacy influenced by prior experience and access to devices. Analysis of the Likert scale questionnaires indicates a positive perception towards the use of technology in enhancing learning quality and preparing students for the future. Practical implications of this study include the necessity for ongoing teacher training, school management support, and optimization of technological resources to enhance the integration of information technology in learning at SMKN 1 Kupang Barat. Additionally, the study offers guidelines for the development of more effective educational policies in the future.
