Abstract

This study was designed to evaluate more about the teacher’s perception on implementing Differentiated Instruction in Vocational High School (SMKN) Gowa using qualitative approach. Four research instruments were used to collect data in this study involves classroom observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The participant of this research were  English teachers of Vocational      High School (SMKN) in Gowa, South Sulawesi, which were consist of five representatives’ teachers from each Vocational High School in Gowa. There are: SMKN 1, SMKN 2, SMKN 3, SMKN 4, SMKN 5 Gowa. Qualitative data was analyzed by using the Thematic Analysis (TA) criteria. Document analyses and classroom observations were utilized to gather data on the actual practices of teachers regarding differentiated instruction (DI). Concurrently, a questionnaire was administered to collect information on teachers' perceptions and practices related to DI. Additionally, interviews were conducted to assess teachers' views on DI. The findings of the study revealed that most of the teacher’s agreed that Differentiated Instruction (DI) has many positive outcomes, such as increased student engagement, equitable learning opportunities, addressing individual needs, fostering a sense of belonging, inspiring students to achieve their maximum potential, and enhancing student’s motivation. Meanwhile, all the teachers stated that Differentiated Instruction adoption could be difficult to be implemented because of its time requirements, difficulty with increased class sizes, differing teacher approaches, and difficulty fitting DI into regular classroom procedures.Teacher’s perspective in implementing differentiated learning in line with the Kurikulum Merdeka at Vocational High School in Gowa is the wide range of student abilities. Not all students are ready for a more flexible approach, so they sometimes need time to adapt to the method. In addition, limited resources—such as teaching materials suited to students’ needs—hinder effective differentiated instruction.

Abstract

Proses pembelajaran di kelas masih cenderung konvensional dan monoton karena dominasi metode ceramah, yang menempatkan guru sebagai pusat pembelajaran, sehingga siswa kurang aktif berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu, inovasi pembelajaran berbasis teknologi diperlukan untuk menciptakan lingkungan pembelajaran yang lebih interaktif dan menarik. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan aplikasi Zep Quiz ke dalam proses pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan dan minat siswa terhadap materi pelajaran. Metode implementasi dilakukan dalam beberapa tahapan, yaitu sosialisasi penggunaan aplikasi, pengenalan fitur Zep Quiz, implementasi pembelajaran berbasis aplikasi, praktik siswa, dan evaluasi pembelajaran. Kegiatan ini melibatkan siswa dari SMA Islam Al-Azhar 12 Makassar sebagai partisipan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi partisipatif dan penyebaran kuesioner untuk mengetahui tingkat keterlibatan siswa, antusiasme, kepuasan, dan efektivitas penggunaan aplikasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari 80% siswa lebih aktif saat menggunakan aplikasi Zep Quiz dibandingkan dengan metode ceramah. Dengan demikian, penggunaan aplikasi Zep Quiz dapat meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa di kelas sekaligus mendukung penggunaan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran yang lebih inovatif dan interaktif.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the inhibiting factors affecting students’ English-speaking performance. A descriptive qualitative design was employed to obtain an in-depth understanding of students’ experiences. The research was conducted at SMP Negeri 4 Sungguminasa, involving six eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed eight inhibiting factors affecting students’ English-speaking performance, namely pronunciation difficulties, limited vocabulary, fear of negative evaluation, lack of exposure to English, teacher’s teaching styles, classroom conditions, grammar mastery, and negative past experiences. The findings also indicate that inhibiting factors are not only related to cognitive limitations but also arise from the interaction of affective, cognitive, psychological, and environmental factors during the speaking process. This study is expected to contribute to teachers’ understanding of students’ speaking difficulties and to support the development of more responsive and supportive speaking instruction strategies.Keywords: English speaking performance; inhibiting factors; junior high school students

Abstract

This study investigates secondary school students’ responses to the integration of YouTube Shorts and Microsoft Copilot AI in English grammar learning, assessed through the CRAAP (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) model. Motivated by students’ declining interest in grammar and the limitations of traditional instructional methods, this research explores the pedagogical potential of combining short-form educational videos with AI-driven chatbots. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive approach, a CRAAP-based questionnaire was administered to a purposively selected Grade VIII class at UPT SMPN 33 Makassar following an AI-enhanced grammar learning intervention focusing on parts of speech and tenses. Results from 29 respondents revealed highly positive perceptions across all five CRAAP dimensions, with every statement receiving a “Strongly Agree” rating above 75%. Currency and Relevance emerged as the most endorsed aspects, while Authority and Purpose, though still positively rated, suggested the need for clearer source attribution. The findings indicate that the YouTube Shorts–Microsoft Copilot AI collaboration not only effectively supports grammar comprehension but also aligns with students’ digital preferences and fosters learner autonomy. This study affirms the value of integrating multimedia and AI in language education and encourages future efforts to enhance credibility, transparency, and long-term engagement with such tools.Keywords: English grammar learning, student responses, CRAAP model, AI, short video social media, YouTube Shorts, Microsoft Copilot AI.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a key challenge for EFL students in Indonesia, particularly at the senior high school level. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in improving students' vocabulary mastery and engagement in English learning at SMAN 7 Soppeng. Employing a mixed-method explanatory sequential design, the research involved both quantitative and qualitative data collection. The quantitative phase used a quasi-experimental method with pre- and post-tests, while the qualitative phase employed semi-structured interviews to explore students' perceptions. This study was grounded in Tomlinson’s theory (2001) of Differentiated Instruction, which emphasizes tailoring instruction based on students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles. In addition, Fredricks et al.’s (2004) theory of student engagement was used to examine behavioral, emotional, and cognitive aspects of learners’ involvement. The findings revealed that DI significantly enhanced students’ vocabulary acquisition and promoted higher levels of engagement. These results suggest that implementing DI is a beneficial instructional strategy to address diverse learning needs and foster active participation in vocabulary learning.

Abstract

In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in higher education, Intensive Listening courses are expected to prepare students for the demands of academic listening yet teaching practices do not always align with students' actual needs. This study explores the impact of students' listening needs on the development of lecturers' pedagogical competencies in Intensive Listening courses. Using a mixed-methods needs analysis design, data were collected from 120 students in three classes through questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while observation and interview data were analyzed thematically and combined through triangulation. The research findings indicate that students prioritize academic listening as their primary goal, but still struggle with lexical density, high speech rate, accent variation, and note-taking when dealing with long spoken texts involving multiple speakers. Students also strongly prefer multimodal and scaffolded activities, particularly video-based materials supported by transcripts or subtitles and clear guidance at the pre-listening, during-listening, and post-listening stages. These needs point to specific areas where lecturers' pedagogical competencies need to be strengthened, including planning and designing academic listening tasks, implementing process-oriented instruction and strategies, and implementing assessments that truly reflect the demands of academic listening. This study proposes the EPMT (ESP-informed, Process-oriented, Metacognitive, and TPACK-supported) model as a practical framework for aligning Intensive Listening pedagogy with students' needs.
