Abstract

Emotional management is one crucial skill that teachers should acquire. In this case, the teachers should be able to regulate their emotions to succeed in the teaching process. This study aimed to investigate how Papuan English teachers manage their emotions during teaching based on two research questions: 1. In which situation do Papuan English teachers experience positive and negative emotions? 2. To what extent can Papuan English teachers manage their emotions during teaching? The four participants who contributed to this study were experienced English teachers from two Junior High Schools in Timika, Papua, Indonesia. In this study, the researchers employed a qualitative method, specifically a descriptive case study. In collecting the data, the researchers used two types of instruments namely open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews. Meanwhile, the researchers used the thematic analysis method to analyze the data. Based on the findings, the positive emotions consisted of four elements such as happiness, motivating, confidence and pride. The negative emotions also encompassed four elements: anger, stress, sadness, and anxiety. In addition, the findings suggested that most participants had regulated their emotions properly and appropriately by employing several strategies such as avoiding harsh words during anger, self-relaxing, self-talking, and reflection. They also treated the students with care and love in building teacher-students' relationships (professional empathy).

Abstract

Although writing motivation has been widely investigated, limited research has focused on the three elements of internal motivation: writing beliefs, self-efficacy, and attitudes, let alone in the Papuan context. This study explored 32 Papuan EFL undergraduate students' internal motivation in essay writing through a purposive sampling technique. This research adopted a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative data. In collecting the quantitative data, a questionnaire was distributed through the Google Forms platform and analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Meanwhile, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain qualitative data and analyzed by reading the data transcription and listening to the data recording three times to gain more valid information about the students' internal motivation in writing. The findings revealed that most EFL students had realized the importance of writing (WB1; M=3.63). Some students also demonstrated self-efficacy as writers (SE1; M=3.67), while others still felt anxious during writing (SE4; 3.60). Furthermore, some participants had created a positive attitude toward writing, whereas others did not. This research offers pedagogical implications for the lecturers and educators to promote the importance of writing to their students, encourage them to increase their self-efficacy as writers, and create positive attitudes toward writing.

Abstract

The current study aimed to scrutinize the approaches employed by Papuan EFL students to improve their vocabulary skills. The study utilized a mixed methods approach, incorporating both a questionnaire and interviews to gather data from 30 Papuan EFL students enrolled in a private university in Timika, Papua. The results revealed that the majority of participants employed four key strategies for vocabulary acquisition: social, memory, cognitive, and metacognitive. Notably, the memory strategy was most commonly utilized, with participants frequently associating new words with personal experiences to aid in retention. This study provided beneficial recommendations and suggestions for educators. In this sense, the findings of this study can be utilized as useful strategies to teach EFL students based on their interests. Thus, those strategies can facilitate them to achieve vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Reading motivation is a critical factor in English language acquisition, recognized as a significant issue for decades. Scholars have explored this topic from various perspectives, including teachers’ strategies and students’ intrinsic motivation. However, no studies have examined teachers’ strategies for fostering reading motivation among junior high school students in the Papuan context, particularly in Wamena, Papua Pegunungan Province. This study addresses this gap by investigating the strategies employed by Papuan English teachers to enhance students’ reading motivation. Data were collected using a qualitative approach through a descriptive case study. Eight Papuan English teachers participated, responding to open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that teachers employed several strategies to boost reading motivation, including designing engaging reading materials, modelling enthusiasm for reading, allowing students to choose their reading texts, providing constructive feedback on reading progress, and fostering strong teacher-student relationships. These findings offer valuable pedagogical implications and practical recommendations for educators to underscore the importance of reading, thereby fostering greater student motivation to engage with texts.
