This study evaluates the effectiveness of a pedagogical intervention using the IELTS Speaking Part question framework to improve speaking skills among students in the English Education Program at IAIN Parepare. The intervention introduced most students to the IELTS Speaking format for the first time, focusing on familiarizing them with speaking techniques that align with international standards. A pre-experimental design was employed, with a one-group pretest-posttest method. The research involved 57 students from the PBI 2022 cohort, with a sample of 15 students (Class PBI4C) selected through cluster purposive sampling. The primary instrument was a speaking test structured around the IELTS framework, with scores measured on a 0-100 scale to allow for detailed interval analysis. Data analysis, conducted in Microsoft Excel, revealed a significant improvement, as the average score rose from 63.7 (pretest) to 83.17 (posttest). A t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference, with a t-value of 5.91 exceeding the t-table value of 2.14 at a 0.05 significance level. These results suggest that using the IELTS-based framework effectively enhanced students’ speaking skills, providing valuable exposure to international testing standards.

This study examines gendered request strategies in Indonesian EFL classrooms from a sociocultural perspective, focusing on how Bugis EFL teachers negotiate authority, politeness, and interpersonal relations through classroom requests. Drawing on sociocultural approaches to classroom discourse and pragmatics, the study investigates how local cultural norms shape teachers’ interactional practices during English-mediated instruction. Employing a qualitative discourse-analytic design, data were collected through classroom observations, audio recordings, and semi-structured interviews involving four Bugis EFL teachers at a senior high school in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A total of 360 minutes of naturally occurring classroom interaction were transcribed and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal distinct gendered patterns in classroom request realization. Female teachers tended to employ mitigated and relationally oriented requests through modalization, hedging devices, minimizers, and kinship-based address terms to maintain interpersonal rapport and participation. In contrast, male teachers tended to employ more direct and task-oriented request strategies emphasizing instructional clarity, efficiency, and classroom control. The findings further demonstrate that classroom requests function not merely as pedagogical directives but as socioculturally mediated interactional practices shaped by local sociocultural understandings of hierarchy, solidarity, and politeness within the Bugis cultural context. This study contributes to sociocultural approaches to classroom pragmatics by highlighting the importance of localized cultural meanings in interpreting classroom discourse and gendered communication in multilingual EFL settings.

English has become an important global language used in international communication, education, and professional development. In Islamic educational contexts, English learning may involve negotiation between global communication needs and the preservation of religious identity. This study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions of English as a Global Language and its compatibility with religious identity in an Islamic senior high school context. This study employed a quantitative descriptive research design involving 40 students of MAN 2 Parepare, Indonesia. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire consisting of 21 items measured using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean scores and standard deviation. The findings revealed that students generally had positive perceptions toward English as a Global Language, with an overall mean score of 4.09 categorized as high. Students strongly recognized the importance of English for global communication, academic purposes, and future career opportunities, although acceptance of different English varieties received a relatively lower score. The findings also showed that students generally perceived English learning as compatible with their religious identity, with an overall mean score of 4.15 categorized as high. Students believed that English learning did not conflict with Islamic values and could coexist with their religious and cultural identities. The study concludes that students in Islamic educational contexts are able to maintain strong religious identities while simultaneously developing positive attitudes toward English as a Global Language. These findings highlight the importance of culturally and religiously responsive English language teaching practices in Islamic educational institutions
