Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is fundamental to English language fluency, enabling comprehension in reading and listening, which subsequently facilitates speaking proficiency. Flashcards offer an engaging learning medium for vocabulary development, particularly beneficial for students with intellectual disabilities who often experience boredom and disinterest in traditional English instruction. This study investigated the effectiveness of flashcards intervention in enhancing vocabulary mastery of nine students with intellectual disabilities enrolled at SLB Rela Bhakti II Wates, Yogyakarta. Employing a pre-experimental, one group pre-test-post-test research design with a quantitative approach, assessed vocabulary gains following the flashcard-based intervention. The pretest established baseline vocabulary knowledge, followed by targeted flashcard instruction, and concluded with a posttest to measure improvement. Data analysis compared pretest and posttest scores to determine the impact of the intervention. The results of the study demonstrated a significant increase in vocabulary mastery. The average pretest score was 6, while the average posttest score rose to 44.4. Furthermore, the lowest pretest score was 0, increasing to 26 in the posttest, and the highest pretest score of 32 improved to 76 in the posttest, indicating substantial vocabulary growth across all participants. These findings suggest that flashcards are an effective tool for improving speaking vocabulary among students with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Teacher Professional Development (TPD) on EFL teachers’ instructional practices and their perceived effects on students’ academic achievement in the Indonesian context. Drawing on Guskey's model of teacher change, this quantitative research involved three English teachers at SMA BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta who participated in a structured TPD initiative. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire, and analyzed descriptively on the impact of Teacher Professional Development and their perceived effect on students' academic achievement. The findings revealed consistent positive changes across five indicators: professional growth, instructional practices, student-centered adjustment, student engagement, and academic achievement. The respondents reported that TPD may enhance their self-confidence, increase innovative teaching strategies, and improve responsiveness to student needs. Furthermore, the study found that instructional improvement had a clear motivational effect on students; previously passive learners became more engaged, confident, and enthusiastic about learning English. Teachers also perceived improvements in students’ academic performance across key skill areas, including speaking, writing, and comprehension. This shows that TPD programs not only enhance teachers' pedagogical capabilities but also lead to meaningful gains in the students' engagement and learning achievement.

Abstract

In the evolving education landscape, teacher professional development (TPD) is crucial for enhancing English language teaching. This qualitative study, using a case study approach, explored how TPD programs impact teaching quality, focusing on the experiences of NH, an exemplary female teacher at SMA N 1 Prambanan Klaten, Central Java. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis was employed to identify key insights. Data analysis in this study followed the three-stage framework developed by Miles et al. (1988): data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification, including; first, Data reduction aimed to simplify the raw data by summarizing key points and paraphrasing, thus making it more manageable. Second, Data display focused on organizing and presenting the reduced data for enhanced comprehension. Finally, conclusion drawing/verification involved interpreting the displayed data and deriving meaningful insights. The findings revealed that TPD programs, including the Teacher Educator Program, Teacher Target Program, and Instructor Mover Program, significantly contributed to the teacher's professional growth. Specifically, the teacher highlighted the benefits of collaborative learning, practical application of materials, active learning strategies, and the development of a strong professional community. These elements were perceived as essential for effective TPD. This study recommends future research to investigate diverse TPD approaches across various educational contexts and teacher demographics to further understand their impact on teaching quality.

Abstract

Vocabulary and translation are two aspects that have a close relationship in learning English as  to be able to translate a text student should have adequate vocabulary mastery. The presented study aims to figure out the correlation between students’ vocabulary mastery and their translation ability, and to explore their problems in translating English descriptive text into Indonesian. This study applied quantitative research by using the correlational method, and the respondents were 32 students of grade X C at SMAN 1 Purwanegara, Central Java. Furthermore, in order to gather the data, researchers used tests and semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed using Pearson-Product Moment correlation using SPSS 26.0. The findings revealed that the mean score of students’ vocabulary mastery was 66.72, and the mean score of translation ability was 63.72. Meanwhile, the correlation value (r) between the vocabulary mastery and English-Indonesian translation ability score is 0.786. Thus, based on the interpretation score of correlation proposed by Sugiyono (2018), the correlation between vocabulary mastery and the ability to translate the descriptive text was in the high category (0.786), Furthermore, the result of hypothesis testing revealed that the comparison of the “rcount” and the “rtable” shows that rcount as much as 0,786 is clearly higher than “rtable” value which is 5% or 0,338 and 1% or 0,435. Therefore, there is a high correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and their ability to translate descriptive text into Indonesian.

Abstract

This research aimed to detect students' ability to write narrative text using local legendary picture series and further explore their perceptions of using picture series in writing narratives. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, and 30 students (10 males and 20 females) participated as respondents in the present study. Furthermore, the students were asked to write a narrative text based on a series of pictures from the local legend of Danau Toba. The findings indicated that picture series significantly enhanced students' narrative writing skills. The average scores revealed that the organization, vocabulary, and grammar were 3.19, 3.43, and 2.92 respectively, categorized into the "Good" level. Meanwhile, the average score for mechanical ability was 2.46, categorized as "Enough". Furthermore, the majority of students viewed positively to the use of picture series, with 46.67% strongly agreeing and 46.67% agreeing that picture series enhanced their ability to absorb and retain information. Thus, the picture series used are effective media for learning narrative writing skills. This study may serve pedagogical implication to the teaching of writing skills. Therefore, the researchers recommend that teachers integrate picture series in their teaching strategies and next researchers could explore the use of picture series in other text types and across various English language skills to provide broader insights and potentially more robust pedagogical strategies.

Abstract

This research investigates language centres within Indonesia’s higher education institutions, aiming to examine their forms, functions, and the challenges they face. Drawing on responses from 109 participants across 14 universities, the study highlights the legal basis of their establishment, with most centres relying on rector-issued regulations. The management structure emphasizes the central role of the Head of Language Centre, responsible for both administrative coordination and academic leadership. Findings reveal a broad range of language services, with Indonesian and English as core languages, supported by various regional and international languages. Educational functions feature prominently, including language training and certification. Language centres also contribute to research by managing language-related data and serve as key hubs for community service, extending their impact beyond the university setting. However, several challenges persist, including limited infrastructure and funding, repetitive programming, and human resource limitations. Future research should expand institutional coverage, apply diverse methodologies, and examine the influence of technological developments. To strengthen the strategic role of language centres, policymakers are encouraged to implement a standardized classification and accreditation system based on their varied forms and functions. Such a framework would promote quality assurance, institutional accountability, and allow universities to leverage accredited centres for academic advancement and eligibility for government-existing research grant schemes.

Abstract

Microteaching courses are crucial for equipping pre-service teachers with foundational skills through simulated teaching experiences before they enter actual classrooms. This mixed-methods study investigated how English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) pre-service teachers perceive the influence of microteaching courses on their self-confidence during PLP II teaching practice, and identified contributing factors. The study involved 27 ELESP pre-service teachers (9 male, 18 female) from Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta, all of whom had completed microteaching courses and PLP II teaching practice. For the qualitative phase, six students were purposively selected for semi-structured interviews based on their high, middle, and low questionnaire scores, ensuring diverse perspectives on self-confidence during PLP II. Quantitative data was collected using a 4-point Likert Scale Scoring Rubric and analyzed, while qualitative interview data was analyzed using the interactive model adapted from Miles & Huberman (1994). Questionnaire results indicated that pre-service teachers' self-confidence related to microteaching courses in PLP II teaching practice was in a "Good" category, with an average score of 78. Interviews revealed that self-concept was the most dominant influencing factor. This was shaped by internal aspects like material preparation and external elements such as peer and mentor-teacher feedback. Additionally, self-esteem was significantly impacted by external factors including student enthusiasm, attention, and mentor appreciation. This study distinguishes itself by focusing specifically on the role of microteaching in fostering pre-service teachers' self-confidence. The implication is study may enhance pre-service teachers' teaching skills and self-cconfidence, and serves as a reflection for the teacher educators to highlight the crucial role of microteaching in preparing pre-service teachers for school-based practice.
