Abstract

The use of English for adult L2 writers encountered significant challenges in an English-mediated environment. This phenomenon is experienced by EFL teachers while pursuing a Master’s degree abroad. The necessity of challenges and the lack of writing strategies may highlight the obstacles to writing productivity. Therefore, identifying the challenges and effective writing strategies is needed to achieve the goal of writing a thesis. This study used a qualitative narrative inquiry, with in-depth interviews, and focused on 3 Indonesian participants who studied abroad. The findings showed several challenges faced by participants, including academic and non-academic challenges. Academic challenge covers language and content challenge, including problems in grammar, academic style, vocabulary, finding a topic, and novelty, as well as non-academic challenge, including issues in supervisor relationship, time management, mental and emotional pressure. Also, four strategies are applied: cognitive, metacognitive, affective, and social. This research may guide future Master’s students on the importance of specific writing strategies in academic writing and may highlight effective English teaching and impact future international writing publications.

Abstract

English language teaching in Papua faces distinctive challenges due to its multilingual environment, geographical isolation, and reliance on undocumented oral traditions, yet limited research has examined how these realities shape culturally responsive pedagogy in EFL contexts. This study aimed to explore how English teachers at junior high, senior high, and university levels in Jayapura integrate Papuan local cultural content into narrative reading instruction, and to identify challenges in implementing such instruction when source materials are largely oral and undocumented. Guided by culturally responsive pedagogy and using a narrative inquiry design, three purposefully selected teachers participated in in-depth interviews, classroom observations, document analysis, and maintained reflective journals over three months. Data were analyzed thematically with cross-case comparison. Findings revealed six interrelated strategies, contextual substitution, community engagement, project-based cultural documentation, trilingual and bilingual vocabulary methods, and student-centered cultural knowledge exchange, through which teachers enhanced reading comprehension, cultural relevance, and student engagement. These strategies, however, were constrained by six persistent challenges: scarcity of documented materials, high individual material development burden, time constraints, cultural sensitivity and protocol requirements, curriculum rigidity, and professional isolation. The study offers an empirically grounded framework for integrating indigenous oral traditions into English reading instruction and highlights the need for institutional support, collaborative networks, and curriculum flexibility to preserve oral cultural heritage while strengthening students’ linguistic and cultural identities.

Abstract

In EFL classrooms, each teacher is expected to be able to act professionally in teaching and assessing the students through the ability to control emotions. However, studies that capture such phenomenon are lacking. This study investigated the narratives of Indonesian EFL teachers’ emotional geographies who conducted online assessments using 'Funtainment Assessment' in 'Grammar' classes. The study employed a narrative inquiry as the design by collecting individual in-depth interview data over four months. Findings unveiled five aspects that influenced changes in the participants' emotional geographies: physical, moral, sociocultural, professional, and political. Participants had a variety of attitudes in response to the emotions that arose when assessing the students' grammar competence online. Interestingly, the participants experienced continuous adaptation to the practice of negotiation to the emotional changes Thus, it did not distract the professional developments they had done through agentive actions. The study's empirical results also suggest that the 'emotional geography dimensions' contributed to future teachers' professional developme

Abstract

Foreign language anxiety has been proven to be an important issue in language learning, according to research on language learning in foreign languages. This study aims to determine the level of anxiety experienced by English preservice teachers. Most research projects in the past concerned learners’ anxiety about students who learning English. To fill the gap, the current study tries to deliver a different perspective on classroom anxiety. Thus, the current study investigates anxiety from preservice teachers’ points of view quantitatively. The current study examines the level of anxiety by adopting the Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety Scale (FLTAS) by Yoon (2012). Next, the scale in the form of a questionnaire has been responded to by 27 English preservice teachers. Further, the results show that the preservice teachers have a moderate level of anxiety. Overall, the study outlines the principal factors causing and affecting preservice anxiety about teaching English as a foreign language in the classroom

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of developing a learning track to respond to the demands of the creative market industry in the community, particularly with regard to journalism and related content creation. The study is based on a collaborative workshop conducted with practitioners from the Indonesian platform Kapanlagi Youniverse. The results of this preliminary study indicate that designing a curriculum and learning program that aligns with current industry practices is essential for preparing the journalism and creative content workforce. Collaborating with industry practitioners is crucial to competing in the rapidly evolving creative industry. The findings also suggest that incorporating subjects such as focused journalism and specific writing, as well as collaborative subjects, into up-to-date learning programs is vital for meeting contemporary industry requirements. Furthermore, the study highlights the needs to take action to develop an undergraduate curriculum that leverages relevant materials, media, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. By preparing the creative industry’s workforce in the community, we can enhance its readiness, thus fostering a circular learning process that benefits the community as a whole.
