Abstract

Students’ motivation and engagement are two crucial variables in EFL teaching. One strategy to improve them is via altering teaching approaches. Theme-based instruction was deemed effective in boosting EFL students’ motivation and engagement. The reason for conducting this study was to assess how theme-based instruction affected the motivation and engagement of non-English major students in EFL teaching and learning activities. A mixed-method research approach was employed to uncover elements that boosted students’ motivation and engagement in learning English utilizing theme-based instruction. The respondents employed in this study were students of a history education study program from a state-owned university in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Interviews and questionnaires were utilized to collect data for this study. While data from interviews were evaluated thematically, data from questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS. The results of the questionnaire demonstrated higher mean scores for attitude toward the approach, affect, motivation, self-confidence, and sense of improvement before and after the students' EFL teaching and learning activities were intervened with a theme-based instructional approach. These statistics demonstrated positive impact of theme-based educational approach. Findings from interviews revealed three elements affecting students’ motivation and engagement in EFL teaching with the approach. These included teacher factors, peer and teacher impact, and sense of improvement in English learning. In summary, theme-based instruction increased non-majoring-in-English students' performance in EFL teaching and learning activities.

Abstract

Environmental literacy is crucial to overcome sustainability issues such as zero waste, especially in educational environments. This study evaluates the needs of students for augmented reality (AR) based zero waste content to improve environmental literacy in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context at MAN 2 Palembang. A descriptive quantitative design was employed using a needs analysis approach with 92 eleventh grade students. Data were collected through a questionnaire assessing environmental knowledge, attitudes, material needs, familiarity with AR technology, and the demand for AR-based learning media. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed distinct patterns across five indicators: Environmental Material Needs had the lowest mean score (M = 3.02, SD = 0.73), followed by Environmental Attitude and Responsibility (M = 3.41, SD = 0.34), and Environmental Knowledge and Awareness (M = 3.63, SD = 0.42). In contrast, AR-related indicators received higher mean scores, with AR Technology Knowledge attaining the highest (M = 3.88, SD = 0.39) and the Need for AR Based Learning Media showing strong support (M = 3.78, SD = 0.50). Furthermore, 58.7% of respondents indicated a high need for AR based learning media, while only 6.5% expressed low needs. These findings suggest that integrating zero waste content with AR based learning media can effectively support environmental literacy in EFL education. Practically, the results offer educators and curriculum developers evidence based guidance for creating contextually relevant and enhanced environmental learning materials that align students' technological readiness with their need for meaningful environmental content.
