Abstract

This qualitative case study examines how English teachers perceive and enact practices for promoting learner autonomy in under-resourced senior high-school EFL contexts and identifies factors that enable or constrain those practices. Eleven English teachers in Lebak Regency, Indonesia, participated in in-depth interviews, and two of them additionally participated in classroom observations. Interview and observation data were analyzed thematically. The findings show that teachers promoted learner autonomy through inquiry and resource exploration, active and reflective participation, opportunities for students to make selected learning-related decisions, and collaborative group work and peer support. Teacher commitment emerged as an enabling condition, whereas teacher-perceived student dependence on teacher direction and limited teacher knowledge of autonomy-supportive assessment were identified as constraining conditions. The observation data provided contextual support for selected reported practices but were not treated as representative of all participants. The study suggests that learner autonomy in resource-constrained settings can be supported through purposeful pedagogical use of available digital, printed, local, and interpersonal resources. It also highlights learner autonomy as a gradually developed, pedagogically supported, and socially mediated process rather than as independence from teachers or peers.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible factors inhibiting the university lecturers or professors in Indonesia from publishing their research results in reputable international journals in English. The research used a mixed (quantitative and qualitative) method, employing a national survey and in-depth interviews with selected lecturers and researchers in five different universities in Indonesia (i.e., Bengkulu University, Padang State University, Makasar State University, Unika Atma Jaya University and Mataram University). The results show that three main factors have hindered the lecturers from submitting their articles to reputable international journals: lack of self-confidence on the quality of their own research and article, finding it very difficult and very time consuming to prepare an article in English and no adequate reward for those who can successfully publish in reputable international journals. However, the majority of them have a positive attitude toward international journal publication for their own benefits or for the sake of their institution.
