Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of extensive reading program using the website er-central.com to promote reading habit among high school students in East Java. The study employs a qualitative case study where the program has been done in a high school of 17 Agustus 1945 Senior High School which runs the extensive reading using a digital website. The data is given in two ways, the report of students' reading progress on the administrator page and the response to an open-ended questionnaire that asks students’ perception of how the program impacts their reading habits. The 5 examples of students reading progress reports show that students' reading is still in progress where students have the autonomy to choose the texts and do the quiz. The answers to the open-ended questionnaire show that students argued the program impacts their reading habits. It is shown that 60.78% of the respondents agreed that extensive reading encourages them to read and be autonomous. It can be concluded that the extensive reading program encourages the students’ reading habits.

Abstract

This essay explores the impact of Extensive Reading (ER) on vocabulary acquisition among junior high school students, highlighting its potential as an effective and engaging language-learning strategy. ER emphasizes reading a variety of texts chosen based on personal interests, creating a natural and immersive environment for students to encounter new words in meaningful contexts. Unlike traditional vocabulary instruction, ER fosters incidental learning, encouraging students to develop language skills through enjoyable and authentic reading experiences. To assess its effectiveness, this study analyzed the pre- and post-ER vocabulary scores of 21 junior high school students. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement in their vocabulary knowledge, underscoring the effectiveness of ER in promoting language growth. These findings not only validate the role of ER in enhancing vocabulary acquisition but also shed light on its broader potential for improving overall language proficiency. By incorporating ER into language curricula, educators can offer a more holistic and student-centered approach to language learning. This research highlights the importance of integrating ER into educational frameworks to cultivate lifelong reading habits while simultaneously boosting linguistic competence. As such, this study provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers aiming to enhance language instruction for junior high school learners.

Abstract

The study examined how, in the age of globalization, education had advanced to a new level where the sharing of information had transcended national boundaries and examined intercultural communication competency based on the experiences of foreign students in Indonesia. But educational establishments weren't completely equipped to meet these contemporary demands. Even though intercultural communication research is not new, concerns about emerging cultural diversity have only recently gained a lot of attention. As a result, intercultural communication competency (ICC) in educational sectors is still quite low and needs further investigation. The study used a descriptive qualitative methodology in conjunction with a case and phenomenological investigation strategy. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data, along with research material. Through the analysis of the interactive multicultural building model—which is bolstered by the ideas of intercultural communication and the internationalization of higher education—the research findings demonstrate the persistence of disparities and opinions, as well as an evaluation of the three-perspective model that serves as the main focus of the study. It consists of three processes: behavioral (intercultural adeptness), cognitive (intercultural awareness), and emotional (intercultural sensitivity). In addition, there are other difficulties that need to be overcome.

Abstract

The phenomena of education graduate alumni selecting non-teaching employment was the main focus of this qualitative study on the employability of teacher education graduates after graduation. The present non-teaching jobs, the reasons behind the non-teaching career choice, the skills and abilities useful to their current work, and their opinions and feelings regarding their non-teaching occupation were all described using an interpretive phenomenology. One-on-one online interviews were used to collect the qualitative data, 3 categories were created in order to address specific research concerns. According to this research, there are three categories of non-teaching occupations currently held by graduates of teacher education programs: office work, non-education related training positions, and service and management. After careful investigation, it was also shown that graduates chose non-teaching careers due to their lack of commitment to the teaching profession, contextual influence, competitive pay, support for their passion and growth, flexibility, and desire for a balanced life. Additionally, professional values and attitudes, transversal skills, learning skills, documentation, and teaching abilities were useful qualities for their current non-teaching position. Graduates in teacher education who are not in teaching feel happy, fulfilled, and flexible. The results indicate that the basic competencies obtained in the Teacher Education Program (TEP) provide a multitude of skills that significantly enhance one's capacity to be flexible, adaptive, and productive in non-teaching roles.

Abstract

This study investigates the self-perceived digital literacy competencies of college English teachers and explores how these competencies shape their digital identities on social networking sites (SNSs). This research is considered important in an era where the integration of technology in education and the use of SNSs for professional and personal purposes are increasingly prevalent. Through a comprehensive examination of teachers' self-perceptions and practices on SNS, this study highlights the complex interplay between digital competencies and digital identity construction. Data were collected through in- depth interviews and observations on lecturers' social media content, which provided valuable insights into the role of digital literacy in educators' digital identity. Findings highlighted that although these teachers generally demonstrated moderate digital literacy, they were able to create and develop positive and professional identities on social media. These skills empowered them to engage effectively in online educational communities, interactions, and networks. In addition, the teachers also demonstrated digital competence, confidence, and awareness of their professional responsibilities.

This study adopts an exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative research design. Barriers included student and parental attitudes, teacher and institutional issues, and cultural constraints. Participants noted a lack of cultural value for critical thinking. Recommendations emerged, such as tailored teacher training programs, a shift towards critical thinking in curricula, pedagogical support emphasizing critical thinking, and enriched textbooks with activities encouraging critical thought. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on English language teaching from the perspective of teachers' perceptions, particularly regarding the role of textbooks and the enhancement of critical thinking skills among students.
