Abstract

The implementation of motivational strategies not only promotes a positive attitude towards writing but also encourages more effective development of students’ writing skills. This study explores lecturers’ insights on how they perceive the motivational teaching strategies in their English writing class. This study employs a qualitative approach with two English writing lecturers from Maros Muslim University as participants. Semi-structured interviews and classroom observation were the instruments used to collect the data and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that both lecturers implement motivational strategies effectively by utilizing positive reinforcement, active learning strategies, and addressing students’ difficulties. Positive reinforcement significantly improves students’ motivation and writing performance. It was strengthened by the observational data that showed both lecturers constantly praised students whenever they responded positively during learning process. Lecturers emphasize that giving active learning strategies can motivate students to engage actively in writing tasks, which can enhance motivation and writing proficiency. The lecturers also acknowledge that addressing students’ difficulties is essential in reducing their anxiety and fostering confidence in writing. Recognizing and responding to students’ difficulties can reduce anxiety and encourage them to share their thoughts more confidently in writing.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of a contextual approach in enhancing students’ poetry writing skills, creativity, and engagement at SMPN 1 Majene. By integrating students’ personal experiences and cultural contexts into the learning process, the study aimed to address challenges such as limited understanding of poetic structures, difficulties in self-expression, and lack of engagement in poetry writing. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving classroom observations, student artifacts, interviews, and reflective journals. The findings reveal that the contextual approach significantly improved students’ understanding of poetic elements such as rhyme, rhythm, and stanza structure. Furthermore, students demonstrated enhanced creativity and self-expression, producing authentic and emotionally resonant poems by drawing on their lived experiences. Collaborative activities, such as peer reviews and group discussions, fostered a supportive learning environment that further motivated students. However, challenges were observed, including difficulties with advanced poetic techniques and hesitancy in sharing work during peer sessions. These findings highlight the transformative potential of contextual learning in making poetry writing more accessible and meaningful, while also underscoring the need for ongoing refinement of teaching strategies. This study provides valuable insights for educators and curriculum designers seeking to enhance creative writing instruction through relevant and inclusive pedagogical approaches.

Abstract

Digital learning has become a potential learning tool since the COVID pandemic which causes the use of new technologies including digital games-based language learning. However, the implementation still has challenges due to technical, instructional, and financial barriers. Previous studies suggest exploring more teaching experiences related to the use of digital games-based language learning for future contributions. This study aims to explore the implementation of digital games-based language learning in higher education. To achieve this goal, this study was conducted in an Indonesian higher education, the State University of Makassar by applying a qualitative case study to collect data. The researcher collected the data from 2 lecturers recruited using a convenient sampling technique. The thematic analysis was used to analyze the collected data. This study explores teacher experiences in using digital games-based language learning in a speaking classroom. This study found that the lecturers plan, implement, and evaluate digital games-based language learning in three categories namely well, moderate, and low implemented. From this result, it is claimed academically that digital games-based language learning (DGBLL) can be planned, implemented, and evaluated strategically in speaking classrooms based on learning objectives, learning outcomes, and students' learning needs. Combining technology with game-based learning, education can be more dynamic and relevant, accommodating a variety of learning styles and motivating students to be more actively involved in the learning process.

Abstract

The Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework has emerged as a central framework for technology integration in English language education. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of the research literature on TPACK in English language education (ELT) to examine publication trends, citation patterns, thematic clusters, and collaboration networks. The findings demonstrate steady interest in research, with intense acceleration during the digital shift precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the developing themes identified are teacher education, e-learning integration, and subject-area-specific applications. The research identifies both the benefits and challenges of TPACK implementation, demanding large-scale instructor training and organizational support. Longitudinal studies and the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality in TPACK-based teaching approaches should be the subject of future studies.

Abstract

This study examines the efficacy of literature-based instruction in fostering English language proficiency among junior secondary school students in Makassar, Indonesia. Employing a mixed-methods research design, data were collected from 120 students and 8 teachers across four public junior high schools through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, pre- and post-tests, and document analysis over one academic semester. Findings reveal that classes utilizing literary texts demonstrated significantly higher improvements in vocabulary acquisition (27.3%), reading comprehension (23.1%), and writing skills (19.7%) compared to control groups using conventional textbooks. Furthermore, qualitative analysis indicates enhanced student engagement, cultural awareness, and critical thinking skills when literature served as the primary instructional material. The study concludes that systematically integrated literary materials provide a comprehensive foundation for language development that addresses both linguistic competence and higher-order thinking skills essential for adolescent learners at this critical developmental stage.
