Abstract

There has been a growing concern about plagiarism among students. This survey sets forth first-year vocational college students' knowledge of plagiarism. A 10-item survey was distributed to vocational students enrolled in the course of English for Specific Purposes. This study reveals that most students are unclear if they should give credit to the author, especially if they have previously paraphrased the line. They believe that unintentional plagiarism occurs mostly due to short deadlines for assignments, pressure to earn a decent score, and the notion that assignments are mere formalities that will not be examined by lecturers. According to the findings of this study, students lack adequate quoting and paraphrasing skills. Despite having insufficient knowledge of plagiarism, students were eager to learn how to avoid plagiarism. This study suggest the difficulty of students in reading paper in English. This study urges senior high school teachers to introduce plagiarism ethics to students. Lecturers and college staff are encouraged to train students to avoid plagiarism as early as possible, especially for vocational college students who have less time dealing with theories in the classroom.

Abstract

This study was initiated to support English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers in enhancing culturally responsive writing instruction by integrating elements of Indonesian local wisdom. Recognizing the need to strengthen students’ cultural identity and moral values through language learning, this initiative aimed to explore current practices, benefits, and challenges faced by lecturers in embedding local content into academic writing tasks. A qualitative-descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through a questionnaire completed by 30 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers from various Indonesian universities. Findings revealed that a majority of lecturers incorporate proverbs, folktales, traditional events, and cultural values, primarily through descriptive, narrative, and argumentative essays. These practices not only improve students’ linguistic and cognitive skills but also foster reflective thinking and cultural pride. However, lecturers reported several challenges, including limited resources, curriculum constraints, and lack of professional training. The results promote a more localized and meaningful approach to EFL writing instruction, empowering both educators and learners to preserve and reflect on Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage. Moreover, this study contributes to the broader discourse on decolonizing EFL curricula and offers a replicable model for culturally sustaining pedagogy in other multilingual, multicultural contexts.
