Abstract

The current research aimed at analyzing the EFL students' speaking skill development through digital social media inside university context. Many researchers conducted their research outside universities but it is still rare to explore existing aspects, both inside university. The study design used the ethnographic study. The study was conducted at two Indonesian universities. Universitas Muhammadiyah Parepare (UMPAR), located in Parepare, and Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang (UMS Sidrap), located in Sidrap, South Sulawesi. The subjects of this study were three lecturers and six students who are familiar with using digital social media in speaking development. The data collection methods were observations, lecturers’ interviews and students interviews. The techniques for analyzing data in ethnographic research are descriptive labels, selecting, identifying, generalizing, and noting. This study showed that in speaking development, several social media platforms inside universities were utilized in their teaching and learning process. The students developed their speaking skill development through digital social media in some ways in universities context: making appointments with strict guidelines, adapting speaking activities to different learning styles with the help of digital social media in classroom and understanding the function of digital social media in developing speaking skills for the students in classroom.

Abstract

Despite growing interest in digital communication and pragmatic development, limited research has examined how everyday family WhatsApp interactions contribute to EFL learners’ sociolinguistic growth. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates how humor, politeness, and intimacy shape learners’ communicative development in home-based digital environments. Employing a qualitative, micro-longitudinal ethnographic design, the study involved three EFL learners who regularly interacted with siblings and parents through WhatsApp. Data were drawn from screenshots and exported chat logs, supported by field notes and reflexive journals documenting contextual details. Data analysis combined Thematic Analysis, Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis, and sociopragmatic frameworks to trace patterns across six months. Results reveal clear developmental trajectories: blunt humor and unmitigated requests gradually declined, while affiliative humor, indirect requests, supportive moves, and structured confirmation strategies increased. Intimacy emerged as a key factor mediating pragmatic flexibility, and digital affordances such as emojis and laughter tokens played an important role in meaning-making. These findings highlight the value of everyday digital communication as a rich environment for sociolinguistic development and suggest practical implications for EFL pedagogy, emphasizing the integration of naturalistic CMC-based activities in pragmatic instruction.

Abstract

Studies on classroom silence have often explained student position through the perspectives of communication anxiety, linguistic limitations, or low participation. Readings that position silence as a culturally negotiated communication practice in intercultural classroom communication are still relatively limited. This study aims to explore how students interpret silence and how cultural identity shapes their participation in cross-cultural classroom interactions. This study used a Classroom Ethnography approach, involving 22 students in a single college class, with 10 focal participants for in-depth exploration. Data were collected through classroom observations, field notes, audio-video recordings, stimulated recall interviews, ethnographic interviews, and student reflective narratives. Data were analyzed using iterative interpretive analysis through the identification of critical interactional episodes, ethnographic coding, constant comparative analysis, and the development of ethnographic themes. The findings indicate that silence functions as face protection, linguistic self-monitoring, hierarchical navigation, cultural discipline, and selective participation. This study concludes that silence is not an absence of participation, but rather a culturally negotiated participation that reflects the negotiation of identity, social risks, and communication norms in academic spaces.

Abstract

This study designed, validated, and refined a podcast-assisted Project-Based Learning (PjBL) instructional procedure for EFL speaking development in an Indonesian higher-education context. Framed as model development within a descriptive–exploratory educational design research/design-and-development research approach, the study produced an initial prototype specifying learning activities and sequencing, then subjected the procedure to expert review and iterative refinement. Two expert validators evaluated the model using a 5-point validation rubric comprising 16 indicators covering key instructional components (Introduction, Core, Closing, and Assessment) and four criteria (logicality, appropriateness, alignment, and non-controversiality), complemented by open-ended comments to guide revisions. Quantitative ratings were analyzed using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Aiken’s V, supported by descriptive summaries and agreement metrics. Findings indicate excellent content validity: all indicators met the relevance criterion (I-CVI = 1.00; S-CVI/Ave = 1.00; S-CVI/UA = 1.00). Aiken’s V coefficients ranged from 0.75 to 1.00, with a mean of 0.898 (≈0.90), and the overall feasibility/appropriateness rating was high (M = 4.59/5). Feedback from, the validators informed targeted refinements, particularly strengthening the production-oriented Core phase by clarifying scaffolding and integrating an explicit feedback–revision cycle, including an individual (solo) podcast recording task. The final model organizes instruction into three connected phases (Introduction–Core–End) with assessment embedded across phases, offering a validated, classroom-ready procedure for integrating authentic audio input and project-based speaking production. The findings have important implications for teachers who wish to explore alternative ways to teach language using digital and project-based methods.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the characteristics of MOOC-based instructional material for the flipped English speaking class  and the model of MOOC-based instructional materials for flipped English speaking class The researchers implemented the initial phase of qualitative research to achieve their objectives. The study focused on students in the English Language Education (ELE) Department at Indonesian Higher Education, as well as the ELE program's lecturers. The findings revealed that the MOOC-based materials for the flipped-English speaking class were a need analysis to be supportive, accommodating, goal-oriented, and focused on both fluency and accuracy. These materials were diverse, up-to-date, engaging, and motivating. They included both monologues and dialogues suitable for formal and informal contexts, and also incorporated tools relevant to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as WhatsApp and Edmodo. The proposed model for MOOC-based materials in the flipped-English speaking class emphasized the integration of key elements: goals, content, activities, venue, and media. The goal was to help learners become proficient in speaking by mastering content that included various topics, language uses, and genres. The model engaged students in nine activities: guessing I, identifying, searching, finding, guessing II, clarifying, evaluating, reflecting, and projecting. The recommended learning venues were both online (using platforms like WhatsApp and Edmodo) and offline (such as classrooms, language labs, and outdoor settings). For media, the model suggested using laptops, LCD projectors, and leaflets during the learning sessions.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study investigates how Project-Based Learning (PjBL) supports pre-service English teachers’ digital pedagogy development in a TEFL classroom. Although previous studies have examined technology integration and digital competence in teacher education, limited attention has been given to how pre-service teachers develop pedagogical reasoning while designing digital English teaching media through project-based experiences. This study involved 20 sixth-semester students in the English Education Study Program, Faculty of Education and Literature, Universitas Bosowa, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and documentation of students’ digital teaching media projects. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to learning experiences, digital media development, collaboration, reflection, and challenges. The findings reveal that PjBL functioned as a bridge between TEFL theory and teaching practice by encouraging students to transform pedagogical concepts into meaningful digital learning resources. The project supported the development of pedagogical creativity, technology-informed instructional decision-making, collaboration, and reflective awareness as future English teachers. The findings also indicate that students gradually shifted from focusing on digital tools as products toward understanding technology as a means to achieve learning objectives. However, students experienced challenges related to technical skills, pedagogical alignment, and time management. The study contributes to TEFL teacher education by demonstrating how PjBL can foster digital pedagogy development through the integration of theory, practice, technology, and reflection. Practically, the findings suggest that TEFL lecturers should provide structured guidance, feedback, and reflective activities to help pre-service teachers design pedagogically meaningful digital teaching media.
