Abstract

Despite the significant allocation of time and resources to formal classroom English teaching in Indonesia, the outcomes have not been found to be commensurate or equivalent. Despite all the constraints, a minority of EFL learners in Indonesia have have demonstrated exceptional achievements in their learning journey, earning them the recognition of successful learners. This narrative research aims to study the participants’ out-of-class learning experience viewed from the perspective of ecology. To gain extensive exploration of the experience, this study incorporated the participants’ language learning careers (LLC). In order to complement the data and to gain deeper insights into the participants’ experiences, follow-up interviews were also conducted. The result demonstrated that the participants exercised their autonomous learning strategies in three dimensions of learning, namely the emergence of interest, the creation of learning opportunities, and the boundaries crossing. Through these dimensions, the participants navigate and manage the resources, opportunities, and constraint in their learning journey. This study provides insights into the management of learning beyond the classroom through the awareness of the environment.

Abstract

Language plays a central role in the teaching process because they connect, complement knowledge, and shape learners’ worldviews. When learning a language, textbooks play a very important role in conveying language input as well as shaping leaners’ knowledge of language structure and social roles. In Indonesia, English textbooks are expected to meet the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standards to supports communicative competence across educational level s. However, recent studies show that many high school English textbooks fail to meet the expected ECFR B1 level. Addressing this issue this study investigates how transitivity processes and participants are represented in the reading sections of Pathway to English textbook for SMA/MA Grade X with the aim of discovering how language structures facilitate students’ linguistics and cognitive development. Using descriptive qualitative method and discourse analysis grounded in Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics theorized by Gerot and Wignell, the study analyzes 297 clauses from selected texts. It determines the process types of transitivity and explores participant roles in each process. The results reveal dominance of material processes (51.85%), which implies focus on physical activity and concrete events, followed by elational (29.97%), mental (7.74%), verbal (6.06%), existential (3.03%), and behavioral (1.35%) processes, none of the meteorological processes. Participant roles such as actors and goals mainly took place in material processes, while sensors and phenomena were common in mental processes. This distribution shows that although the textbook offers diversity in types of transitivity, it may fall short in offering balance to ensure diversified linguistic exposure. These findings offer suggestions for textbook developers and teachers to strengthen the expression of the process of transitivity, thus improving English instruction and enriching students’ linguistic and critical thinking skills in EFL context.

Abstract

Inspired by the approach of “Teaching Unplugged: Dogme in English Language Teaching” developed by Luke Meddings and Scott Thornbury, this theoretical research introduces and offers a conceptual design of teacher training intended to be relevant to novice Indonesian EFL teachers, especially those working at schools located in the most remote and disadvantaged areas of Indonesia. The training is designed based on the theoretical framework of the approach and critical reviews of several related empirical studies. This article, therefore, focuses on exploring the applications of the approach by examining some other research including the most recent ones about the approach, and investigating its relevance to the context of English education at the most disadvantaged schools in Indonesia. The practical stages and syllabus are also presented in the article so that both teachers as participants and teacher educators can easily follow and understand how the materials can be implemented in their teaching contexts. Considering the theoretical-based materials and well-planned activities that the training offers, novice EFL teachers, after completing the program, are expected to be able to improve their both language and pedagogical skills that are needed in their school contexts and in line with the recent curriculum, the Merdeka curriculum.
