Abstract

Teaching English in Islamic boarding schools or traditional Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia faces significant challenges due to technological developments. In recent years, technology has changed how people learn, communicate, and interact. This study aims to investigate how English teachers teach English in the digital era when Islamic boarding school regulations prohibit students from bringing gadgets. Qualitative study was used in this study by using interview and observations as data collection technique. The findings of this study revealed that the educational pattern at pesantren fulfilled the characteristics of a modern pesantren with formal and informal education system. English teachers do not refuse the existence of technology but do not use it as the primary method of learning in the classroom. The learning method is still based on teacher-centered and lecture-based learning methods. Some challenges in teaching English are traditional learning methods, monotonous classroom atmosphere, lack of teacher competence, and lack of teaching sources. The conclusion emphasizes the need for teacher training, improved teaching methods, and teaching sources.

Abstract

The study investigates the roles of images and intermodal relationships of both language and images in two English textbooks used in Vietnamese lower secondary schools, namely Tieng Anh and Solutions textbooks to gain insights on the ways to optimise the use of both language and images as resources in teaching and learning activities. Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (1996, 2006) framework on the grammar of visual design is used to analyse the images, looking at the types of image representations and the compositional meanings. The language-image relationships in the books, on the other hand, are analysed using the framework of Intermodal Identification (Unsworth & Cleirigh, 2014). Intermodal identification is built on the notion that language complements the meaning of the image and vice versa. Language identifies image by glossing the image participants which are not encoded in the language elements. Image identifies language in three aspects: intensive to visualise quality such as shape, colour, or texture, possessive to visualise additional participants which are not explicitly addressed in the language and circumstantial to visualise the elements of locations in the language. While image in textbooks has always been considered essential as a source of teaching and learning materials as well as helping students to learn, this study suggests that the role of image is augmented when juxtaposed with the accompanying language. The study implies the need for further investigation, for example in the classroom action research on how language and image resources can be utilised in teaching and learning activities. Also, the result of the study may be replicated to analyse language-image relationship in different samples of textbooks.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a prevalent challenge in foreign language learning that can hinder students’ ability to communicate effectively. This study investigates the causes of speaking anxiety among undergraduate students in the English Language Education program at Universitas Negeri Malang. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from 11 participants through the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and factors contributing to students’ anxiety. The findings reveal three primary sources of speaking anxiety: communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. Students reported experiencing physiological symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, nervousness, and fear of being mocked, which significantly influenced their classroom participation and speaking performance. These results highlight the urgent need for supportive pedagogical strategies that not only enhance students’ linguistic competence but also address their psychological and emotional well-being. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the multidimensional nature of speaking anxiety and provides insights for educators in developing effective interventions to foster more confident English communication among students.

Abstract

Merosotnya eksistensi warisan budaya lokal akibat dominasi budaya populer global menyebabkan hilangnya identitas budaya dan pengetahuan tradisional. Tujuan penelitian mengembangkan strategi komersialisasi motif tekstil kontemporer berbasis budaya populer dengan prinsip localism untuk menjadikan warisan lokal sebagai tren global. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Research and Development (R&D) yang dikembangkan oleh Borg dan Gall (1983). Subjek penelitian melibatkan desainer, pengrajin lokal, dan konsumen. Hasil penelitian ini adalah pengembangan brand fesyen bernama kioskita.namanya. Brand ini menjadi representasi konkret dari strategi komersialisasi yang efektif. Melalui serangkaian tahapan R&D, mulai dari analisis kebutuhan hingga uji keefektifan, ditemukan bahwa komersialisasi yang berlandaskan prinsip localism tidak mengikis esensi budaya, melainkan berfungsi sebagai jembatan untuk merevitalisasi warisan lokal di tengah arus globalisasi. Prototipe produk yang dihasilkan, berupa koleksi busana dan aksesori, berhasil memadukan motif tradisional dengan elemen budaya populer, menciptakan desain yang relevan, estetis, dan memiliki narasi budaya yang kuat. Uji keefektifan menunjukkan bahwa produk tersebut secara signifikan meningkatkan persepsi konsumen terhadap keunikan motif dan daya tarik budaya, membuktikan bahwa warisan lokal dapat diwujudkan sebagai tren global melalui pendekatan desain kreatif dan strategi pemasaran digital yang tepat.

Abstract

Online learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic has been broadly regulated for the past two years in Indonesia. However, there is a limited exploration of the experiences of students and teachers in the English learning loss at upper secondary level students. Thus, this study aimed to fill this gap by exploring the English teacher and students' experiences in learning loss of online English field during the pandemic outbreak. A narrative inquiry was implied to express their voices. Online questionnaire to know students’ demographic background was employed. One English teacher and two third grade students shared their experiences through the narrative interview (NI). The findings showed that English teachers felt students' loss in English subjects rather than the previous cohort. Some students decreased their understanding and motivation in learning English and had to take remedial courses while missing the examination or assignments. Meanwhile, students mentioned they experienced difficulties in learning English through an online classroom. They felt they had degraded their English skills because they did not practice it at home. Moreover, they also lost interest and motivation to join the class and submit the assignments. Those factors initiated the loss in English learning for first-year secondary students.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media transformed communication, encouraging the emergence of slang as a creative, identity-driven linguistic practice among Generation Z (Gen Z). Previous studies extensively examined types, functions, and general impacts of slang, presenting contradictory conclusions, either its positive role or negative implications. These inconsistent findings make it difficult to understand the actual role of English slang in communication effectiveness. However, limited research examined how Indonesian Gen Z use English slang and how it affects communication effectiveness among Gen Z users with similar linguistic backgrounds and comparable English proficiency. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates the types of English slang used by Indonesian Gen Z majoring in English studies in communication and analyzes its effects on clarity and effectiveness. With a qualitative-descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires (N=65) and semi-structured interviews with selected participants (n=6). The collected slang was categorized using a slang taxonomy and analyzed in relation to perceived message clarity and effectiveness. The findings reveal four types of slang: fresh and creative, flippant, acronym, and clipping. Acronyms were reported as the most frequently used slang in communication. The interviews indicate participants perceive slang as having positive impacts on communication effectiveness, self-expression, vocabulary development, and strengthening solidarity. However, the use of slang causes misunderstandings for those unfamiliar with slang and may encourage its inappropriate use in formal contexts. Future research should involve more diverse participant groups and examine the long-term effects of English slang on language use and communication.
