Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of the School Literacy Movement (GLS) program at SMP Negeri 4 Namohalu Esiwa through an ethnographic approach. It examines the perceptions of teachers, students, and parents regarding the program, literacy practices within the school, socio-cultural barriers, and school culture factors that support students' reading interest. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the GLS program at SMP Negeri 4 Namohalu Esiwa has not yet effectively improved students' reading interest due to limited library facilities, insufficient access to relevant reading materials, and low parental involvement in supporting students' literacy development. Furthermore, the local culture, which emphasizes oral traditions over written literacy, poses a significant challenge. Nevertheless, teacher support and literacy activities such as reading corners and a 15-minute pre-class reading period demonstrate potential for further development. This study recommends enhancing literacy facilities, providing teacher training, fostering collaboration among schools, parents, and communities, and integrating local cultural elements into the GLS program. These steps are expected to foster a sustainable literacy culture and significantly improve students' reading interest.

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of using Portuguese and Tetun as languages of instruction in primary and secondary schools in Dili, Timor Leste, and its implications for human resource development. While Tetun facilitates students' understanding in local contexts, its limited global relevance presents a challenge. Conversely, Portuguese, though internationally recognized, is not fluently spoken by most teachers and students, reducing the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. This qualitative research involved 68 informants, including education officials, principals, teachers, and students across Dili. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that language barriers, particularly in Portuguese, negatively affect classroom interaction, leading to poor student comprehension and low academic achievement. This situation may hinder the development of quality human resources capable of competing globally. The study recommends that the Timor Leste government and Ministry of Education intensify Portuguese training for both teachers and students, allocate funds for Tetun development, offer incentives to high-performing teachers, and encourage the consistent use of the instructional Language at home and in school, drawing from practices in Cuba and Venezuela. Strengthening language proficiency among educators and learners is essential to improving education quality and supporting Timor-Leste's broader socio-economic advancement.

Abstract

Fluency and accuracy. These two things have victoriously won many teachers attention at tertiary level. In the case of writing, these two remain debatable, and have always attracted many people, both lecturers and students attention. These language production measures have distracted many lecturers concentration: should they be faithful to fluency of ideas, or grammatical and language accuracy in correcting students essays? This paper tries to present the classical yet never-ending dilemmatic conflicts within the area of writing assessment. This debate still remains interesting to follow. Data were gained from close observation on documents, that is, 21 students essays and interviews with 2 students of Academic Writing in Semester II, 2015-2016. Four writing lecturers were also interviewed for their intellectual and critical opinions on these dilemmatic problems in assessing writing. Discussion results of FGD (Forum Group Discussion) involving all writing lecturers at the English Education Study Program at the Faculty of Language and Literature of Satya Wacana Christian University which were held in June, 2016, were also included as source of data. Hopefully, this paper gives a little more colour in the area of writing assessment, and gives a little enlightenment for other writing lecturers.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies and challenges faced by six foreign teachers in learning the Indonesian language at an international school in Semarang, Central Java. Foreign teachers are increasingly playing significant roles in education in Indonesia, yet they often encounter difficulties in adapting to local linguistic and cultural norms. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and field notes. The findings reveal that the main challenges experienced by foreign teachers include differences between formal and informal language use, pronunciation difficulties, grammatical complexity, dialect variations, limited opportunities for practice, and a tendency toward code-switching. To overcome these challenges, the teachers employed strategies such as community support, immersive learning through real-life practice, attending formal classes, self-study, and using language applications. Among these strategies, community support and immersive learning proved to be the most effective in enhancing fluency and cultural understanding, while formal classes provided a strong foundation in grammar and vocabulary. This study highlights the importance of combining immersive experiences with structured learning to support successful language acquisition for foreign teachers in Indonesia. The findings are expected to provide practical contributions for educational institutions in designing language support programs and promoting more inclusive cultural integration.Â
