Abstract

In Indonesia, where more than 700 languages exist, EFL teachers make use of students’ linguistic repertoire (e.g., utilize the Indonesian language [hereafter ‘Indonesian’] which functions as the national and official language) during the English instruction. While previous studies have focused on various aspects of EFL teachers’ cognition, little has been known concerning students’ perceptions of teachers’ utilization of languages other than English during the EFL instruction. Therefore, the present study aims to further understand this issue by investigating students’ perceptions of translanguaging practices performed by their teachers during English lessons at a junior high school in Yogyakarta. A qualitative study with case study design was conducted to address the objectives. Three teachers’ classroom practices were observed and five students were purposively invited for interviews. Results showed that translanguaging practices performed by the teachers functioned as explanatory and rapport-building strategies. While students demonstrated positive attitudes towards such practices and stated that the teachers’ translanguaging practices supported their learning goals and helped to boost their motivation in language learning, they seemed to be concerned that uses of languages other than English during English lessons would not only reduce their exposure to the target language but also decrease their opportunities to improve their English-speaking skills.

Abstract

Despite a growing body of research on translanguaging internationally, more studies are needed to examine secondary school teachers’ reasons and purposes of translanguaging during English lessons, especially in Outer Circle countries such as Chile, Germany, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. This paper aims to contribute to this emerging area of interest by investigating junior secondary school teachers’ reasons for and purposes of utilizing students’ linguistic repertoires during English language instruction in the Indonesian ELT context. Data were primarily collected through interviews with three teachers working at two schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The findings reveal several reasons for translanguaging, including limited exposure to English outside the classroom, lack of foundational English knowledge, restricted vocabulary, and diverse student learning needs and proficiency levels. Teachers reported using languages other than English to build rapport, foster a relaxed classroom atmosphere, reinforce or clarify instructions, facilitate comprehension, check understanding, and manage instructional time efficiently. These findings suggest that translanguaging can be an effective pedagogical strategy in English language classrooms, particularly in contexts with limited English exposure. The study points out the importance of incorporating translanguaging approaches into teacher education programs and recommends further research into its long-term effects on student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research aimed to improve the writing skills of ninth-grade students at a junior high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, incorporating folktale films as a learning tool. Twenty-eight students (Class A) participated, with collaboration from an English teacher. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and tests, employing a triangulation method. The research consisted of two cycles, following the action research phases: plan, action, observation, and reflection. Results showed a significant enhancement in students' writing skills with the use of folktale films. These films increased confidence and participation in English writing, leading to effective narrative text creation. The students actively engaged in lessons, positively impacting their overall writing abilities, as observed and reflected in improved test scores. The paper concludes with practical implications based on the study's findings.

Abstract

Abstract: English language literacy is essential for pre-service English teachers, as it shapes their academic performance, professional identity, and future classroom practices. However, many pre-service teachers in Indonesia continue to encounter challenges in developing strong English literacy skills due to motivational, contextual, and experiential constraints. Guided by Self-Determination Theory, which emphasizes the psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, this study examined the factors influencing pre-service EFL teachers’ motivation to develop their English literacies and how these factors shape their learning trajectories. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis with two pre-service teachers enrolled in an English Education program in Yogyakarta. The findings reveal six key motivational factors: relatedness through social and environmental support, intrinsic motivation through interest in English, autonomy supported by digital technology and learning preferences, extrinsic motivation and goal orientation, and competence development through teaching experience. These factors interact to influence how pre-service teachers engage with literacy practices and internalize motivation for long-term development. The study highlights the central role of fulfilling psychological needs in sustaining literacy motivation and points out the importance of supportive learning environments, digital literacy integration, and meaningful teaching opportunities. Implications for teacher education programs include designing motivation-enhancing practices that foster positive attitudes and improve English literacy outcomes among future teachers.
