Abstract

Research on international teaching practicum (ITP) has revealed challenges for teacher trainees, particularly in advancing their teaching strategy in the context of intercultural context. However, other studies suggest that the program holds the potential for the development of teachers trainees’ skills. This study examines the teaching strategies and difficulties encountered by Indonesian EFL teacher trainees and their intercultural sensitivity level during the ITP program in Thailand. This case study involved three Indonesian EFL teacher trainees participating in the ITP program in Thailand. Data were obtained from questionnaires, observation, and interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed statistically, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that participants employed a variety of teaching tactics, including goal setting, working examples, noting similarities and differences, providing recognition, assigning homework, providing feedback, practicing, visual scaffolding, modeled discourse, the grammar-translation approach, and facing some cultural barriers. Furthermore, the intercultural sensitivity level demonstrated that all teacher trainees can interact, appreciate differences, be confident, enjoy, be attentive, and value different perspectives when communicating in multicultural circumstances. The study implies that the ITP program should be continued by facilitating a bridging course to cope with intercultural context.

Abstract

Accomplishment in higher education recently depends on the ability to communicate effectively in English; due to increasingly globalized academic setting. This essay investigates the creative ways that speaking technology and cross-language exercises might be combined to improve students' proficiency in English communication. By utilizing students' current linguistic resources, cross-language practices, which entail the purposeful use of different languages, can promote deeper comprehension and retention of English language abilities. When combined with cutting-edge speaking technology, such AI-driven language learning tools and speech recognition software, these approaches provide a dynamic and engaging means of honing English communication skills. With a focus on practical application in academic and professional contexts, the study investigates the effects of these combined techniques on students' language proficiency. This research is a comparable passage that has been adjusted for the study's setting. The study involved 45 students from different academic disciplines, 60% of whom were female and 40% of whom were male, and used a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach to investigate their views and experiences about cross-language practices in combination with speaking technology. Surveys, pre- and post-speaking evaluations for descriptive analysis, and reflective notebooks for qualitative insights were all used in the data collection process. The study of descriptive data was done using theme analysis. As evidenced by the overwhelmingly favorable response from participants, the data showed that integrating student languages alongside English, backed by speaking technology, dramatically increased their English communication skills.

The research reports on issues centred of Instant Messaging Activity in Writing English Slogans to Stimulate the 10th Grade Vocational Students’ Critical Thinking. The idea derives from the facts that students still feel writing difficult skill involving vocabulary mastery and sentences translation; this topics leads the research to be carried out. The study aims to find out the activity of using instant messaging in writing English slogans to stimulate students’ critical thinking and analyze the linguistic features, in particular, sound strategies used by the students. In this activity, students can think critically in choosing words when writing English slogans. The method used by researchers is a qualitative case study using observation, field note, a document of narrative slogans and a semi-interview. Thirty-three students from X-OTKP have participated in this research. The observation result and field notes was to be explained descriptively; and the documents of slogans was to be analyzed by using the theory of J.A. Cuddon (1998). Meanwhile, the interview result was recorded, transcribed, and interpretied. The findings indicated that, several students were able to create an interesting slogans well and correctly even though there were still some vocabulary words written incorrectly in the slogans. This might be an evidence of students’ critical thinking skill in term of Taxonomy Bloom’s applying, analyzing, evaluation, and creating; but it still needs improvement. In addition, the use of instant messaging activities were able to provide a pleasant learning atmosphere. Unfortunately, there are still some less motivated students. Therefore, future researchers are advised to learn and determine the effectiveness of instant messaging using quantitative methods.

Abstract

This study examines how cultural background and gender relate to argumentative coherence in English writing among Indonesian and Japanese EFL learners. Although intercultural rhetoric research has explored cross-cultural variation in argumentative structure, limited corpus-based studies have compared learners at controlled proficiency levels using a structured analytical framework. Drawing on 20 B1_2-level essays from the ICNALE corpus, this study applies the Toulmin Argument Pattern (TAP) framework to analyze the distribution of claims, data, counterclaims, and rebuttals. Argumentative quality was further assessed using an adapted coherence-level scale. The findings reveal clear cross-cultural variation: Indonesian learners produced a higher frequency of claims and supporting data, reflecting a predominantly linear argumentative structure, whereas Japanese learners more frequently incorporated counterclaims and rebuttals, resulting in more structurally complete argumentative cycles. Gender-related differences were observed in the distribution of argumentative elements; however, these patterns should be interpreted cautiously due to the exploratory sample size. Overall, the study highlights the role of culturally shaped rhetorical preferences in EFL argumentative writing and demonstrates the usefulness of TAP as a diagnostic tool for examining intercultural variation in coherence. Pedagogical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

The integration of digital textbooks in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom has become more common, particularly as digital literacy grows in importance for 21st-century learners. While many digital learning tools are available, there is limited research that closely examines how digital textbooks contribute to students’ digital literacy development in real classroom practice, especially in EFL contexts. This study aimed to explore how the use of digital textbooks contributes to students’ digital literacy development in EFL learning from both student and teacher perspectives. A qualitative case study was conducted involving classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with students and an English teacher. The analysis was guided by Hague and Payton’s digital literacy framework by covering eight aspects: functional skills, creativity, critical thinking and evaluation, cultural and social understanding, collaboration, ability to find and select information, effective communication, and safeguarding. The findings indicated that digital textbooks supported several aspects of digital literacy, particularly functional skills, information selection, and critical evaluation. However, certain aspects, such as creativity and safeguarding, were less frequently observed. The study concludes that digital textbooks have the potential to foster digital literacy in EFL settings, but their effectiveness depends on how actively features are utilized and supported through guided classroom practices.

Abstract

Speaking English is a crucial part of learning English as a foreign language (EFL), yet many Indonesian students struggle with vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and fluency. While numerous studies have been conducted on mobile-assisted language learning (MALL), little is known about the precise function of TikTok videos as a self-help tool for speaking acquisition, particularly in studies that do not consider the user's perspective. This study examines how TikTok videos can help improve English speaking skills, with an emphasis on vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and fluency. Three TikTok videos were selected using a qualitative content study. The results indicate that these videos demonstrate authentic and spontaneous English speaking techniques that can help users improve their speaking skills through unstructured digital content. This implies that TikTok videos can be used as supplementary speaking examples for students learning English as a second language (EFL). Teachers and content producers can learn more about the educational potential of social media platforms from this research.
