Being a non-permanent English teacher in a remote area is not easy. The non-permanent teachers have to face many challenges. Without having resilience, the teachers can not survive to teach in the area. This study investigated the factors that influenced the resilience of the non-permanent English teachers in building a professional identity in the remote areas of South Sulawesi. The mixed-method explanatory sequential experimental design was used by involving non-permanent English teachers at five schools in the remote area of Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi Province. The RSA Scale questionnaire and interview were used to find out what factors influenced teachers’ resilience. The results showed that the challenges faced by non-permanent English teachers made them resilient teachers. Personal resources and contextual resources seemed to play a major role in their growth of resilience. The high resilience of teachers shapes their professional identity, which makes them stay afloat and think that teaching is their calling. This study suggests implications for the education of policymakers and the government in Indonesia, and also for future researchers who are interested in a similar topic may conduct further studies with a broader context

Being a teacher in special needs school is not an easy job. Besides having to possess knowledge about children with special needs, special needs school teachers are required to have high patience and good mentality at work. One factor that affects the teachers’ success in educating students at special needs school, is the teachers’ motivation in carrying out their obligation. This study aimed to investigate what factors affected Indonesian teachers’ motivation in shaping and developing their identities and what strategies they used in teaching students with special needs.Using a qualitative method, the researchers gained data by interviewing teachers from two special needs schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that both intrinsic factors such as the desire to assist students with special needs to be more independent, and extrinsic factors such as family, students, and colleagues influenced the teachers’ motivation to teach in special needs schools in Yogyakarta. These factors played an important role in developing and shaping the teachers’ identity. The researchers also found that audio visual materials became the most effective and helpful strategies in teaching English for special needs schools.

The researchers gained data from 26 students in Basic writing Class by using quantitative approach.

Reading skills are crucial for elementary school students, especially in English learning. Students can understand the text if they have good reading skills. Therefore, teachers should provide appropriate strategies to improve students' reading skills. The purpose of this study was to find out what strategies English teachers used in improving students' reading skills in a private elementary school in Ngabang. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. This research was conducted at SDS Alfa Omega Ngabang. The subjects in this study were two English teachers who taught in class 5. The data collection instruments in this study used observation and interview. Data analysis used data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results showed that there were five strategies used by English teachers: previewing text, guessing word meaning, skimming, scanning, and reading aloud. The reading aloud strategy is the most frequently used strategy by teachers at SDS Alfa Omega Ngabang because teachers feel that this strategy can train students' pronunciation, make students active, and increase students' motivation and interest in reading. It is suggested that teachers can choose strategies for teaching reading skills based on the students' ability level and education level.
