Abstract

Critical thinking (CT) has already been acknowledged as a significant skill in education, including in the field of English language learning. However, very few studies have investigated the challenges and strategies in enhancing students’ CT skills in English language subjects. This qualitative research aims to investigate the Indonesian English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ conception of the necessity of implementing CT in EFL subject. This research is also intended to find out the challenges and strategies in encouraging students to use CT in their learning process. This research employed two research tools for data collection: questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The study revealed that EFL teachers believe in the value of promoting CT in their teaching classroom activities. However, CT has been practically rarely unnoticed in the implementation of English language classes due to the EFL teachers’ concentration on linguistic skills, grammar instruction, and English communicative skills. The findings also found some challenges faced by the EFL teachers in implementing CT, as well as some strategies in promoting the skill. This research recommends the importance of involving Indonesian EFL teachers in a training on CT to enhance their understanding and allow them to stimulate CT among their students.

Abstract

Students’ failure to be successful English learners is primarily due to uninteresting materials that lead to demotivation in learning. This research aimed to uncover the students’ motivation to study in the Indonesian English immersion program (IEIP) of Kampung Inggris Pare and to investigate the innovative methods of teaching speaking as a communicative approach in the IEIP at Kampung Inggris Pare. This qualitative study with a micro-ethnography approach was conducted in four English course institutions by associating ten students and four teachers as participants. By having the initial interviews, the results revealed that most students perceived learning English at formal schools as unsatisfied. In comparison, the two months of observation in “the daffodils, Mr. Bob, Kresna, and Peace” English course institutions found that the teachers taught speaking by integrating the other skills and utilizing some sources. They could regulate and deliver the materials attractively based on their methods. The communicative methods employed namely teaching speaking through writing practice (TSWP), teaching speaking through listening practice (TSLP), and teaching speaking through visual media or pictures (TSVM). This study supports students learning English at the IEIP because it fits the purpose of communicative goals, which directs the students’ success.

Abstract

This paper reports the outcomes of a ‘Community Service’ activity related to the integration of technology in English language teaching in Indonesia in the 21st century. The activity was conducted for junior high school English language teachers in Depok District, Indonesia. It outlines the opportunities and challenges faced by teachers in incorporating technology into their teaching and learning processes. Key themes emerging from the activity, include enhancing English language proficiency, increasing engagement and motivation, developing 21st-century skills, cultural exchange and global awareness, as well as the role of teachers and professional development. However, the effectiveness of technology integration heavily relies on the teachers' proficiency, availability of infrastructure, and pedagogical adaptation. The findings of the activity highlight the importance of comprehensive teacher training programs, improvements in educational infrastructure, and a pedagogical shift towards a curriculum more inclusive of technology. Recommendations include enhancing collaboration among stakeholders to support a technology-enriched learning environment to meet the evolving needs of learners in Indonesia.

Abstract

The ability to apply correct and appropriate academic writing becomes a crucial requirement in composing scientific papers. Many researchers suggested that the intensity of reading and writing habits have a significant impact and determines students’ ability to put ideas in writing. This study aimed to identify the main challenges faced by postgraduate students of Universitas Terbuka in writing and finalizing their thesis, including difficulties in creating good and correct written Indonesian language. This research employed mixed method research (MMR) with three research instruments for data collection, namely questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. There were 165 students participated in answering the questionnaire, and 24 students and 16 lecturers from 7 study programs were involved in the interviews. Thirty proposals for master’s thesis were analyzed by using a document analysis method. The research participants were purposefully selected using purposive sampling. The research findings showed that the aspects that were considered the easiest in writing the thesis are the literature review section and the conclusions and suggestions section. While the most difficult parts of the thesis were the introduction and discussion sections. The research also found that students were still very constrained in terms of good and correct written Indonesian language skills.

Abstract

In an era dominated by visual media, this study examines the effects of visual literacy training on the ability of English teachers at Kalam Kudus Elementary School in Bali to create effective teaching materials. Utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest design, 21 teachers underwent training in the CRAP (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity) principles. Data collected from pre-and post-tests, alongside a supplementary questionnaire, indicated a notable enhancement in teachers' visual literacy, with an average Gain score of 74.15%. Although the training was deemed moderately effective, educators experienced a significant boost in their understanding and application of visual design principles, contributing to the creation of more engaging educational content. The study highlights the need for continued professional development in visual literacy to address ongoing challenges, emphasizing its importance in improving educational practices.

Abstract

Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which identifies autonomy, competence, and relatedness as core drivers of intrinsic motivation, this study examines the effectiveness of VOA Learning English in enhancing EFL learners’ listening comprehension and motivation. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed, combining a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design with semi-structured interviews. Seventy tenth-grade students from a public senior high school in Anambas Regency, Indonesia, were assigned to either an experimental group using VOA Learning English or a control group receiving conventional instruction; six students were purposefully selected for the qualitative phase. Results showed that the experimental group achieved a significantly greater improvement in listening comprehension (pre-test M = 44.00; post-test M = 76.00) than the control group, supported by statistically significant between-group differences (t = -3.077, p = .003). Motivation scores were also uniformly high (M = 4.28), spanning intrinsic, extrinsic, integrative, and instrumental dimensions. Qualitatively, students across all proficiency levels reported positive learning experiences, citing the transcript and replay features as particularly effective scaffolding tools. These findings indicate that VOA Learning English is a pedagogically sound and inclusive instructional tool, with implications for the broader integration of mobile-assisted platforms into EFL curricula.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of podcast-based learning in enhancing junior high school students’ listening skills and learning motivation in the Indonesian EFL context, where learners often have limited exposure to authentic spoken English and low engagement in listening activities. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed involving 68 ninth-grade students from a junior high school in West Java, Indonesia, who were assigned to experimental and control groups. Quantitative data were collected through listening pre-tests, post-tests, and motivation questionnaires, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher listening gains than the control group. ANCOVA results confirmed a significant effect of podcast-based learning on listening achievement (F = 39.4, p 0.001, η² = 0.377), indicating a large effect size. Students also reported increased motivation, confidence, enjoyment, and engagement. Interview data further showed that podcasts provided authentic listening input, enhanced vocabulary and pronunciation awareness, and promoted learner autonomy. Overall, podcast-based learning offers an effective, authentic, and learner-centered approach to improving listening proficiency and motivation in secondary EFL education.
