Abstract

This study was designed to develop appropriate listening materials based on the needs of users namely the teachers and the students of the English Department of IAIN Palangka Raya. The Research and Development (R&D) design was applied in this study. The research subjects were four listening instructors and the first-semester students (freshmen) who encountered fourteen meetings of this on-going semester. The findings showed that (1) the stages of the listening materials development such as needs survey, developing materials, expert and instructors validation, revision, try out of materials, revision, and final product; (2) the product is in the form of compact disc recorded materials, an instructor

Abstract

The article discusses the primacy of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) in research and pedagogy on second language (L2) writing in Indonesia. Indonesian academics use SFL theory as a shell to value arguments and observations in the methodological literature of L2 writing, demonstrating how the theory transforms into an "instrument reliable for scaffolding thinking, for propelling knowledge and ideas forward" (Thomas, 2007, p. 44) in their research and practice. The hijacking of an educational researcher's thought process and methodology by a linguistic paradigm serves only to reinforce the researchers' lack of confidence in challenging the established and recognized paradigm. Numerous articles from reputable local publications were gathered and analyzed. The paper concludes that researchers working in Indonesiashould commit to conducting more thought experiments to learn and support critical refection over and above imitating

Abstract

Vocabulary retention remains a persistent challenge among EFL and ESL learners because newly learned words are often forgotten without systematic, repeated exposure.  Although spaced repetition (SR) is widely recognized as an effective strategy for long-term memory, there is still limited understanding of how SR can be optimally implemented across diverse EFL and ESL learners' contexts, particularly regarding spacing schedules, instructional design, and technology integration. As a result, evidence on SR implementation in EFL and ESL learners' vocabulary learning remains fragmented. EFL and ESL learners’ systematic literature review aims to synthesize the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of SR for vocabulary learning among EFL and ESL learners. Following the PRISMA guidelines, 25 studies published between 2010 and 2025 were selected from Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ResearchGate based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The reviewed studies examined various SR approaches, including digital flashcards, retrieval-based activities, mobile-assisted language learning applications, cumulative testing, and multimodal learning tools. The findings indicate that SR provides substantial opportunities, particularly for improving vocabulary retention and enhancing long-term memory, while also increasing learner motivation, learner autonomy, retrieval practice, and technology-enhanced language learning. However, several challenges were identified, including instructional design issues, uncertainty regarding optimal spacing schedules, technology and digital literacy constraints, learner-related differences, and limited empirical evidence across diverse educational settings. Overall, the reviewed evidence consistently points to the positive potential of SR as a cognitively efficient approach for supporting vocabulary development, particularly when implemented through well-designed instructional practices.
