Abstract

This study explored pre-service English teachers’ emotional experiences and professional identity construction during their teaching practicum in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, narrative inquiry was employed to gather data from two pre-service teachers through semi-structured interviews and reflective diaries. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify themes related to their emotional experiences, such as anxiety, self-doubt, and motivation, and how these emotions influenced their teacher identities. Findings revealed that positive emotions like enthusiasm and empathy facilitated professional identity formation, while negative emotions such as anxiety and fear of making mistakes posed challenges. Mentor teachers played a crucial role in both alleviating and exacerbating these emotional responses. The study highlights the importance of emotional management and identity development in teacher preparation programs. However, the study’s limitation lies in its small sample size, focusing on two participants from a private university in Indonesia. Future research could expand the sample size and explore the emotional dynamics of pre-service teachers in different contexts or academic fields.

Abstract

This study investigates how integrating Literature Circles with the Teaching and Learning Cycle enhances junior secondary English as a Foreign Language students engagement, comprehension, and motivation in extensive reading of narrative texts. Using a qualitative classroom action research design with phenomenological orientation, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and classroom observations. The intervention followed four Teaching and Learning Cycle stagesBuilding Knowledge of the Field, Modelling of the Text, Joint Construction of the Text, and Independent Construction of the Textcombined with rotating Literature Circle roles to scaffold comprehension and collaboration. Findings reveal that students progressed from supported participation to independent analysis, showing gains in vocabulary noticing, inferential reasoning, and critical response. Students also reported heightened intrinsic motivation, confidence, and ownership of learning, facilitated by structured peer interaction and equitable participation. Challenges such as time constraints, text difficulty, and performance anxiety emerged but also suggested avenues for refinement in instructional design. This study contributes conceptually by bridging constructivist, sociocultural, and genre-based perspectives, pedagogically by operationalizing scaffolding through structured roles, and contextually by adding evidence from Indonesian junior secondary classrooms. These findings highlight the potential of Literature Circles integrated with the Teaching and Learning Cycle as a sustainable model for student-cantered reading instruction and provide directions for future research on scalability, digital mediation, and application across genres

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the strategies used by English teachers at SMK Insan Tazakka, Cikampek to teach reading comprehension. This study uses two English teacher participants at different grade levels. This study employed a qualitative method of data collection. Data were collected through semi-structured interview sessions and author-administered questionnaires. Interviews were conducted with 14 questions to obtain detailed data. And a 25-item questionnaire consisting of three categories. Metacognitive strategy guidance (planning, monitoring, evaluation), cognitive strategy guidance (visualization, summarization), and social strategy guidance (collaborative learning, questioning) are performed to complete the data obtained. According to interview findings, the first English teacher used the K-W-L (Know, Want to Know, and Learned) reading strategy and SQ3R (Surveying, Questioning, Reading, Reciting, and Reviewing) strategy. This was deemed sufficient to cover all aspects of the learning process, and the K-W-L strategy allows students to practice concentration during the learning process. It is even said that the K-W-L strategy can support and help students' reading skills. At the same time, the second English teacher uses her CIRC (Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition) teaching strategy. This is because teachers find the process easy to implement and use. The obtained questionnaire data then corroborated the previous data in writing. It can be concluded that two English teachers at SMK Insan Tazakka use different strategies in teaching reading comprehension in class.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how different genders are represented in Indonesia's grade eight English textbooks. The primary goal of this research is to ascertain the various gender representations and how language and images are used in the English textbook "Think Globally Act Locally." The study employs Fairclough's (1989) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) frameworks, specifically the description, interpretation, and explanation. Analyses are divided into five categories: Authors' genders, character genders, issues centered on men or women pictures and visibility, and linguistic traits. Additionally, the images have been subjected to a critical image analysis using the Critical Image Analysis program. The investigation's findings reveal that gender prejudice or stereotypes persist in the English textbooks used in Indonesian schools, despite the government's efforts to promote equality and fairness in education through the country's educational policy. Lastly, the study offers some pedagogical implications and recommendations for resolving gender inequality in the educational materials used in English classrooms.

Abstract

The acquisition of vocabulary plays a crucial role within the realm of language proficiency, as words are assimilated in a manner that facilitates comprehension, oral expression, and subsequently, reading and written communication in the English language. One of the pedagogical approaches that can be employed for vocabulary instruction is the utilization of interactive word walls. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of interactive word walls on students' comprehension and learning experience in vocabulary acquisition through the utilization of word wall approaches. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the viewpoints of students on the utilization of this technique for the purpose of acquiring new vocabulary. The research design employed a classroom action approach. The findings of this study indicate that the utilization of word walls in vocabulary acquisition can significantly impact learners' comprehension of vocabulary learning, particularly in the aspect of word class identification and comprehension of novel vocabulary terms. Interactive word walls have been found to elicit a favorable response from pupils due to the facilitation of vocabulary acquisition. Nonetheless, there exist drawbacks associated with the utilization of interactive word walls. One of the primary challenges encountered by students while utilizing interactive word walls is to the acquisition of new vocabulary and the pronunciation of unfamiliar terms. This difficulty arises from their limited proficiency in effectively utilizing dictionaries and their lack of familiarity with the process of searching for new vocabulary entries within such resources. The efficacy of the interactive word wall method in enhancing students' vocabulary acquisition can be inferred from the evidence. This pedagogical approach facilitates the identification and comprehension of word classes, hence fostering a more effective vocabulary learning experience. Furthermore, the interactive nature of the strategy successfully engenders student engagement and enthusiasm towards vocabulary acquisition

Abstract

There is a significant ongoing discourse in Indonesia over the potential and appropriateness of including both Indonesian and English languages in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms for instructional purposes. There is a divergence of opinions among educators on the efficacy of utilizing English exclusively in the learning process. Some proponents argue for the effectiveness of this approach, while others advocate for the utilization of many languages, such as translanguaging (Garcia, 2012). The primary objective of this research is to examine the beliefs and practices employed by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Indonesia regarding the utilization of translanguaging as a pedagogical tool for English instruction within EFL educational settings. The data was obtained by completing a set of questionnaires and conducting interviews. The present study employs Braun and Clarke's (2006) theme analysis framework, which encompasses six distinct stages. The findings of this study indicate that educators hold the belief that the use of translanguaging can prove advantageous in enhancing language proficiency within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructional settings. The findings of this study indicate that two individuals held views favoring translanguaging in the optimal position, while one participant held beliefs favoring translanguaging in the maximal position. Despite the varying positions held by these teachers, they consistently engage in the activity of translanguaging across five distinct segments of the classroom setting (Garcia & Wei, 2014).

Abstract

Over the years, even though there has been a lot of study on vocabulary learning strategies, the usage of the Vocabulary Self-Collected Strategy integrated with video viewing activity as an approach is still underreported. Therefore, to fill this void, this study aims to find out students experience and their responses in incidental vocabulary learning through video-viewing activities and to what extent the integration of VSS and video viewing help students in learning general vocabulary on high school students in Karawang. In this research, classroom action research is used. The information is collected through observation, interviews, and reflective journals. By examining the result of data from the meeting, the researcher came to the opinion that using VSS to teach vocabulary in combination with a video viewing activity helped the students comprehend the text more easily. By investigating students' responses to general vocabulary learning within VSS and video viewing activity, the current study contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into its potential to improve EFL students' vocabulary mastery.
