Abstract

Merujuk pada hasil survei Programme of International Student Assessment (PISA) yang dilaksanakan pada tahun 2018, kemampuan literasi dan numerasi para siswa Indonesia berada pada posisi lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan siswa di negara-negara lain. Posisi Indonesia pada tahun 2018 untuk membaca berada di peringkat 72 dari 77 negara, dan sains berada di peringkat 70 dari 78 negara (OECD, 2018).  Melihat tingkat literasi yang rendah dari para siswa di Indonesia, maka harus ada upaya yang terus menerus untuk meningkatkan literasi mereka, mengingat literasi menjadi tuntutan bagi para siswa/peserta didik untuk memenuhi kualifikasi kompetensi di abad 21 ini. Saat ini Kemendikbudristek telah mencanangkan penggunaan Kurikulum Merdeka pada satuan-satuan pendidikan di Indonesia. Pengembangan literasi menjadi salah satu fokus dan perhatian pada kurikulum ini sedikit banyak telah mendorong para peneliti, guru dan praktisi pendidikan untuk melakukan eksplorasi keilmuan dalam mengembangkan berbagai model pembelajaran yang menyenangkan, sesuai dengan ragam karakteristik peserta didik dan mampu memacu mereka untuk mengembangkan literasi. Oleh karena itulah, kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pelatihan dan pendampingan para guru Bahasa Inggris di SMP Negeri 6 Blora untuk mengembangkan Model Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris Berbasis “Critical Thinking”.

Abstract

Engaging young learners in English language lessons while fostering vocabulary development is a key challenge in elementary education. This study investigates the use of mini booklets, designed with colorful illustrations, as a tool to enhance student engagement and support vocabulary acquisition among first-grade students at SD 1 Margorejo. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving 12 students as participants. Data were collected through observation sheets and teacher reflection notes to examine how the mini booklets influenced classroom dynamics and learning outcomes. The findings indicate that the use of mini booklets significantly increased students’ enthusiasm and participation during English lessons. Students enjoyed interactive activities, demonstrating improved vocabulary retention and confidence in speaking. This study highlights the effectiveness of creative, student-centered teaching materials in early English education, offering practical recommendations for educators aiming to improve engagement and learning outcomes in similar contexts.

Abstract

This study provides a qualitative analysis of a casual talk between two male postgraduate EFL students, who are Indonesian, Javanese, and English-speaking close friends. The conversation, conducted spontaneously without prior planning, consists of 203 turns and forms 23 conversational story sequences. The findings highlight key aspects of casual conversation, including structural, interactive, and interpersonal features. Structurally, the dialogue follows adjacency pairs and the IRF (Initiate-Respond-Follow-up) pattern. Spontaneity is evident in filled pauses, repetitions, false starts, backtracking, incomplete utterances, and frequent use of conjunctions and fixed expressions. Interactivity is demonstrated through turn-taking, respectful silence, occasional interruptions, and discourse markers, with communication strategies employed to prevent breakdowns. Interpersonal engagement is reflected in the use of laughter and chuckles, fostering group solidarity. Coherence emerges through cooperative exchanges, where speakers provide relevant responses and comments. Additionally, negotiation occurs in both interpersonal exchanges and logical-semantic adjustments to maintain clarity and understanding. These findings suggest that the conversation builds engagement through laughter, coherence through cooperation, and clarity through negotiation, maintaining structured storytelling despite its casual tone. However, a key limitation of this study is its reliance on audio recordings, which excludes the analysis of gestures and facial expressions. Further investigation into diverse conversational contexts, participant relationships, and cultural influences could provide deeper insights into the dynamics of casual interactions

Abstract

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are crucial for developing students’ critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Using questioning tactics in the classroom has been found to improve HOTS by encouraging students to think more deeply and more involved. Teachers need to know how to ask different kinds of questions to help students learn, especially in English classes. This study explores the use of questioning strategies by EFL student teachers in microteaching course at the English Education Department (EED) of a private university in Indonesia. This qualitative phenomenological study used audio visual material from microteaching video and structured interviews to collect the data. The results of the study reveals that the EFL students teachers used three types of questions, namely procedural, convergent, and divergent questions. Convergent questions are the most dominant, while divergent questions are the least frequently used. The convergent questions are more related to lower-order thinking skills (LOTS), meanwhile, divergent questions are related to higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Therefore, it is recommended that teacher educators should provide more focused training for crafting and using higher-order questions. Additionally, integrating Bloom’s Taxonomy explicitly into lesson planning and reflective teaching practices can help student teachers align their questioning strategies with intended learning outcomes across cognitive domains.

Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the teaching strategies that were found in English learning videos that are published on TikTok using account @kadang.sokinggris as the primary source. In the second phase, 25 videos were selected using purposive sampling methods. The videos were selected using multiple viewing, descriptive note taking and thematic coding. The aims of the study were (1) to identify the types of teaching strategies used, (2) to analyze how the teaching strategies were used in the videos, and (3) to identify the distinct characteristics of the teaching strategies used. This analysis leads to identifying four main groups of strategies. Direct instruction, on-screen text, humor and repetition are shown through multimodal means which combine verbal and non-verbal elements such as gesture, gaze, intonation and text on screen. The three parts of the overall approach taken by the videos' creators include personal humor, an adaptation of colloquial phrases to culture and audience participation. This multimodal approach allows for the more interactional, contextualized, and effective learning of English in the informal digital environment. This study seeks to contribute to the growing learning of online language pedagogy and to reveal the educational potential of short-form video in particular. The study also has pedagogical implications for English teachers and content creators on how to create social media material that is more linguistically relevant and culturally interesting.
