Abstract

To illustrate the concept of ghosts, this research aimed to explain how they were described in Ã`ma Lóngh and Lebu’ Kulit language, the collection of Dayak Kenyah short stories. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method based on figurative language personification theory. Data analysis is conducted using corpus analysis with the AntConc application. This research concluded that there are four categories that employ personification in relation to the term 'ghost' namely the ghosts act like human, the ghosts being described as dying like humans, ghosts can transform into other forms and ghosts being described as animals. The use of personification in these stories allows readers to relate to and believe in the ghost, enhancing the drama and suspense of the story. The ghosts in this research were only described using personification. Further research might investigate ghosts through different theories to see how their appearance can contribute to certain meanings in the stories.

Abstract

Many studies have discussed the challenges faced by international students in English-speaking countries, but little focus on the academic and social challenges in non-English-speaking countries. This study aims to investigate the academic and social challenges faced by undergraduate EFL students in a non-English-speaking country during the Indonesian International Students Mobility Awards (IISMA) program. This case study involved two participants of undergraduate Indonesian students purposively selected from the IISMA program at a state-partnered university in Olomouc, Czech Republic. The data were collected through interviews and reflective journals, and they were analyzed deductively using thematic analysis. The findings show that students have substantial challenges due to the requirement to understand varied English accents and the lack of a shared native language in the IISMA program. However, the students enhanced their English skills by interacting with local people and experiencing social and academic challenges. Despite these limitations, the use of supportive teaching methods and peer interactions enhances students' English proficiency and overall academic experience, even in non-English-speaking contexts like the Czech Republic. This suggests that such approaches could be widely applicable in similar educational environments, offering potential insights for improving language education

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of reflective teaching practices by an English lecturer instructing non-English major students and examines its contributions to professional development and classroom engagement. Reflective teaching involves a continuous cycle of self-assessment, adaptation, and improvement, which enables educators to refine their teaching methodologies to better meet students' needs. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research employed multiple data collection methods, including reflective journals, semi-structured interviews with the lecturer and students, and non-participant classroom observations. The findings indicate that reflective teaching significantly enhances lecturer self-awareness, fostering a more adaptive, student-centered instructional approach. By regularly analyzing his teaching methods and incorporating student feedback, the lecturer was able to create a more engaging and inclusive learning environment. Students reported increased motivation, participation, and comprehension as a result of these pedagogical adjustments. Even though the study found some benefits, it also found some problems that can make it hard to use reflective practices consistently. These problems include a lack of time and too much administrative work that should be done by the lecturer. The research underscores the importance of integrating reflective teaching into professional development programs to promote a culture of continuous learning among educators. Additionally, it highlights the need for further studies involving diverse educational settings to explore the long-term impacts of reflective teaching on both instructors and students. By addressing these gaps, future research can contribute to the development of more effective and sustainable approaches for incorporating reflection into higher education teaching practices

Abstract

Driven by the growing awareness of cultural relevance in English language teaching (ELT), this study presents the development of English materials based on Islamic stories for Islamic schools. This study aims to describe the design of English teaching materials that integrate Islamic values in response to the lack of culturally appropriate resources available to teachers in Islamic educational settings. This study used a qualitative approach to describe the process of developing teaching materials from Islamic stories through the development stages. The primary data consists of drafts of teaching materials at each development stage, from initial design through revisions to the final prototype. Supporting data is obtained from literature, learning theories, and teaching materials design principles, which serve as the foundation for each development step. The development process involved determining learning goals, selecting and adapting content, texts, and tasks, instructions, and learning outcomes assessment. The materials were carefully designed to meet students’ linguistic level and moral development goals. In the process, the researchers do self-evaluation, consultation with experts, and revision to produce high-quality materials. This study highlights the broader framework of Islamization of knowledge in ELT, emphasizing the importance of aligning language learning with Islamic worldviews. By offering culturally and spiritually relevant learning resources, the materials developed in this study provide English teachers with practical tools to foster both language proficiency and religious character education in Muslim learners.

Abstract

Gender representation and gender roles have been characterized in a variety of elements based on categories of Gender visibility and Gender roles theory, including Main Characters, Named as Non-active Characters, Non-named, Non-active Characters, Appearances in Illustration, Noun and Pronoun. As a result, the goal of this study was to discover gender representation and gender roles in the English textbook Bahasa Inggris When English Comes in Handy for Tenth Graders. Grafindo Media Pratama is the publisher. The research approach is a qualitative investigation with content analysis. Males dominated in areas such as the number of named-non active, non-named-non active, appearance in drawings, and titled & named, according to the findings of this study. In addition, female characters dominated the primary characters. Males also performed the majority of gender duties, including home and public gender roles. Finally, if the discrepancies between male and female gender are greater than 5%, the book is deemed to possess gender bias, according to Stockdale's thesis.

Abstract

Education is a critical area in promoting gender equality to the young generation of this country. The curriculum that promotes gender equality could be represented in a textbook as a teaching material resource commonly used in Indonesia. This study is a critical discourse analysis that examines the gender representation in the English textbook for the third grade of primary school in order to discover whether or not the textbook promotes gender equality. The data were collected from “Grow With English” English book 3 published by Erlangga Publisher. The data in the forms of pictures, words, phrases, and sentences were then analyzed qualitatively by using Fairclough’s three dimensional frameworks and Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics. The findings revealed that: the examined textbook represents genders equally in terms of the quantity in which females and males are portrayed equally in pictorial representation and names of characters. In terms of social roles of job positions, male and female are also portrayed occupying various professional occupations such as doctors, fire fighters, police officers, and so on. However, the portrayals of male and female in domestic roles and activities are still stereotypical in which females are portrayed doing more domestic activities and less active, while males are portrayed doing more active outdoor activities. These results may have the implication that the English teachers for young learners could improvise by providing more understanding about gender equality while using the textbook.

Abstract

Dalam konteks pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA), strategi metakognitif berperan penting dalam membantu pemelajar merencanakan, memantau, dan mengevaluasi proses belajar mereka. Meskipun sejumlah penelitian sebelumnya menegaskan efektivitas strategi metakognitif dalam pembelajaran bahasa kedua, kajian yang secara khusus menyoroti strategi metakognitif pada pembelajaran BIPA masih terbatas. Sebagian besar studi BIPA lebih menekankan pada metodologi pengajaran, integrasi budaya, atau pemanfaatan teknologi, tanpa menyelami secara mendalam pengalaman personal pemelajar. Hal ini menimbulkan kesenjangan penelitian, sebab sejauh ini belum ada kajian yang berfokus langsung pada penerapan strategi metakognitif dalam konteks BIPA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisi kesenjangan tersebut dengan menggunakan pendekatan mixed methode. Partisipan penelitian terdiri atas lima mahasiswa asing dari Polandia, Madagaskar, dan Thailand yang mengikuti program darmasiswa BIPA Universitas Mulawarman. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner strategi metakognitif (20 item, 8 dimensi) setelah mereka menempuh 9 bulan pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh partisipan menerapkan strategi metakognitif, dengan kecenderungan kuat pada aspek perhatian umum (80% selalu memilih cara termudah memahami materi) dan manajemen diri (50% selalu, 40% sering mencari informasi saat kesulitan). Namun, kelemahan menonjol terdapat pada aspek evaluasi diri, di mana 44% mahasiswa hanya kadang-kadang melakukan refleksi terhadap pencapaian belajar. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa strategi metakognitif memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap kemandirian belajar pemelajar BIPA, khususnya dalam hal kesadaran memilih strategi belajar, kemampuan monitoring, serta fleksibilitas menyesuaikan pendekatan. Namun, rendahnya kemampuan evaluasi diri menunjukkan bahwa proses metakognisi belum berjalan menyeluruh, sehingga kemandirian belajar belum sepenuhnya optimal. Novelty penelitian ini terletak pada fokus kajian yang secara eksplisit menyoroti penggunaan strategi metakognitif dalam pembelajaran BIPA sebuah area yang sebelumnya belum pernah diteliti secara mendalam. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan untuk mengeksplorasi faktor budaya dan latar pendidikan asal mahasiswa yang memengaruhi praktik refleksi, serta merancang intervensi pedagogis untuk memperkuat aspek evaluasi diri pemelajar BIPA.
