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

Speaking is one of the important skills to master. The importance of learning speaking skills helps people to share their ideas, agreement or disagreement, compliment, and so on to others. Some students feel a lack of practice in learning English because they don't have enough support, including those in Taiwan. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to investigate how Taiwanese teachers apply CLL in speaking activities and the students' responses towards speaking activities which implement CLL at an elementary school in Taiwan. Data for this qualitative study were gathered from semi-structured interviews and reflective journals. The participants were one Taiwanese English teacher and 32 elementary school students. Data from the semi-structured interview were recorded, then transcribed. After that, themes were drawn based on the transcribed interviews. Based on the data, it was found that the Taiwanese English teacher applied CLL to teach the English language. Some activities such as group discussion and Think-Pair-Share were done. These activities were found useful because students could gain more vocabulary, a fun atmosphere created inside the classroom, and better fluency and pronunciation.

Abstract

The shift to communicative objectives in language teaching has promoted the mastery of speaking skills. Second-language (L2) speaking, in fact, is a demanding task for ESL learners because it involves integrating affective, linguistic, and social skills that may vary across cultures. In China, teachers need to delve deeper into learners’ cultural backgrounds to better motivate their L2 oral production. This case study aimed to explore how inhibiting factors affect Chinese ESL primary learners in L2 oral production. The interview took place on 11-15 November 2025. Altogether, there were 10 interviewees from a private elementary school. Two research questions to be answered in this study are: What affective, linguistic, and social factors inhibit students’ L2 speaking, and how do students experience these factors in the classroom? What kind of support from the teachers do Chinese ESL students report needing to facilitate their L2 oral production? The conclusions drawn from the study are as follows. First, participants frequently experienced low self-efficacy, demotivation, and anxiety in L2 speaking. This finding is profound because young learners are usually more adaptable in language learning compared to adults. Secondly, participants reported that difficulty in finding the right English words was the major linguistic hindrance. Therefore, they strongly needed teachers to help with vocabulary. Third, participants were reluctant to participate in a classroom presentation, mostly due to the fear of others’ judgment. The last conclusion is that participants depended on external motivation more than internal motivation to produce speech in L2. One recurring theme which underlies the findings is the fear of losing ‘face’, as the concept of ‘face’ is much valued in the Chinese culture.  This research is hoped to benefit English language teachers, both local and expatriate. Theoretically, this study will enrich Second Language Literature in the domain of learners’ differences.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Moodle-based Academic Supervision Model, "SiParti" (Participatory Synergy), to enhance elementary school teachers' pedagogical competence. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach adapted from Sugiyono's model, with the stages limited to the first product revision phase. The research subjects consisted of five teachers (ranging from junior to senior levels), one principal, one school committee member, and two expert validators (a supervision expert and an ICT expert). The research instruments included validation sheets, feasibility questionnaires, and user satisfaction surveys. The results of the material expert validation indicated a feasibility percentage of 88.3%, categorized as "Highly Feasible," while the ICT expert validation obtained 80%, categorized as "Feasible." Field testing demonstrated a user satisfaction rate of 95.1%, categorized as "Very High," particularly in aspects of collaboration, system security, and ease of use. The SiParti model integrates the stages of Si (Preparation), Par (Observation), and Ti (Follow-up) digitally through a role-based access control (RBAC) system to ensure data security and teacher professionalism. These findings indicate that the Moodle-based SiParti Academic Supervision Model is valid, feasible, and effective as a digital collaborative supervision innovation in supporting the sustainable improvement of elementary school teachers' pedagogical competence.
