Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the representation of culture and gender in visual and verbal texts in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks used by upper secondary school students. A content analysis was conducted on three EFL textbooks for upper secondary school students, using Xiao's (2010) framework to guide the analysis of culture “small-c” representation, and Brugeilles and Cromer's (2009) study to  examine gender character according to their roles portrayed in the textbooks. The findings revealed that the highest number of visual illustrations was predominantly presented in the lifestyle aspect, followed by customs, values, holidays, hobbies, and food. It was also observed that gender representation was equally represented in the verbal text, but not proportionally in the visuals. The findings indicate that culture and gender awareness among students could be improved if textbooks provided a more balanced representation of various cultures encompassing source culture, target culture, and international target culture, and paid more attention to the equal treatment of genders.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of flipped learning on classroom interaction and student autonomy among secondary school EFL students involved in the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening (P5) project. A mixed-methods design was used, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data to gain a deeper understanding of the research questions. Data were collected through a survey and interviews. The survey, completed by 536 students, assessed students’ perceptions of flipped learning using the adapted Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data analysis was conducted using Rasch analysis, which helped identify outliers and assess the reliability of the survey instrument. Qualitative data, gathered from interviews with 10 students, were analyzed thematically to explore how flipped learning influenced students’ classroom interaction and autonomy. The findings indicate that flipped learning improves both classroom interaction and student autonomy, although challenges related to technology access and adapting to independent learning were noted. These insights offer valuable guidance for educators and curriculum developers aiming to implement flipped learning effectively in secondary education.

Abstract

This small-scale study aimed to factors that contribute to foreign language speaking anxiety among international tertiary students in Indonesia. The study drew on a qualitative method where seven International students studying at three universities in Indonesia were interviewed. The collected data then were transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis. The result revealed that the student participants experienced both facilitative and debilitative speaking anxiety when interacting with their peers during classroom learning. Language barriers, negative attitudes, intercultural communication apprehension were identified to provoke FLSA among the students. More importantly, these three factors also contributed to students’ feeling of speaking anxiety in their daily communication. Keywords: English as a Foreign Language (EFL), Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety (FLSA), Facilitative and Debilitative Speaking Anxiety

Abstract

Writing is a complex and essential language skill that integrates cognitive, linguistic, and creative elements. Many students face challenges in developing writing process skills and critical thinking, particularly in short story composition. This study investigates the effectiveness of the guided inquiry learning model in enhancing students' writing process skills and critical thinking abilities. A true experimental design with a randomized control group was employed, involving two groups of 11th-grade students from SMA Negeri 4 Pandeglang (N = 64). The experimental group received instruction using the guided inquiry model, while the control group followed conventional methods. Data were collected through tests, observation sheets, documentation, and interviews. Students’ critical thinking skills were measured using a validated post-test and analyzed with the Independent Sample T-Test in SPSS 22. The results showed a progressive increase in the writing process skills of students in the experimental group across three meetings, with an overall average score of 76.46%, categorized as “good.” Additionally, the critical thinking post-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.0015, one-tailed), indicating the positive impact of guided inquiry learning on students' higher-order thinking. The guided inquiry model effectively enhances students’ short story writing process skills and significantly improves their critical thinking abilities. This model is recommended as an alternative instructional strategy for developing literacy and cognitive skills in secondary education.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study examined the use of an AI-powered automatic speech recognition (ASR) tool (SpeechAce) for high-school EFL speaking assessment, with a focus on perceived effectiveness, meaningfulness, and enjoyment. Thirty students completed pre- and post-surveys, and ten students participated in semi-structured interviews; classroom observations were documented using a structured checklist. The intervention lasted two weeks (four 40-minute meetings) in which students accessed SpeechAce on their smartphones via the web and followed an iterative speak–check–revise routine. Quantitative results (paired-samples t-tests) showed significant gains in perceived speaking skill and meaningfulness, whereas enjoyment remained stable. Qualitative findings indicated that automated, non-judgmental feedback supported lower anxiety, increased willingness to speak, and greater learner autonomy, while teacher facilitation (warm-ups, modelling, and brief mini-lessons) helped students interpret feedback and set revision goals. These findings suggest that ASR-supported assessment can function as a formative learning episode in school contexts when tasks, feedback interpretation, and revision opportunities are explicitly structured.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically analyze the evolution, research trends, and scientific impact of digital teaching and learning scaffolding through the application of bibliometric analysis. By employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 methodology, a total of 396 relevant journal articles published between 2013 and 2023 were identified from Google Scholar using Publish or Perish (PoP). The dataset was then analyzed using VOSviewer, with a specific focus on citation patterns, keyword co-occurrence, co-authorship networks, and thematic clusters. The bibliometric mapping revealed five dominant research clusters: (1) integration of digital technology in higher education, (2) learning strategies and their impact on students’ outcomes, (3) digital games and scaffolding approaches in children’s education, (4) teacher education development and practice, and (5) contextual influences in educational research. In addition, the study identifies prominent authors, highly influential publications, and major institutional as well as international collaborations, offering a comprehensive overview of the intellectual structure of the field. The findings highlight an increasing global interest in digital scaffolding in education, demonstrating its significant contributions to improving student engagement, cognitive development, problem-solving, and personalized learning experiences. Nevertheless, several challenges remain evident, particularly in terms of accessibility across diverse contexts, teacher readiness to adopt innovative pedagogies, and technological limitations within resource-constrained environments. This research contributes to the academic discourse by providing evidence-based insights and practical recommendations to optimize the implementation of digital scaffolding in contemporary educational settings. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of continuous exploration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and adaptive learning systems to further strengthen the effectiveness and sustainability of digital scaffolding practices in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to develop transcultural multimedia teaching materials for learners of Indonesian as a Foreign Language (BIPA) using a three-mode communication approach: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) method, the process involved six key stages including needs analysis, planning, product development, and limited trials. Validation from five experts yielded an average score of 4.55, indicating high quality. A field trial involving 30 foreign learners demonstrated significant improvement in learner motivation, cultural understanding, and communication skills. This study's mixed-methods analysis demonstrates that a technologically advanced, culturally aware curriculum greatly improves students' language proficiency and critical intercultural competency, which are required for effective communication in the real world. Interactive features, contextual videos, and reflective activities effectively enhanced pragmatic competence and intercultural awareness. Participant feedback highlighted the need for more regionally diverse content and adaptive learning paths. This study underscores the importance of integrating cultural and technological elements in language education to foster comprehensive communicative and intercultural competence. In the end, these study findings offer a revolutionary BIPA model.

Abstract

This qualitative case study examines how teacher educators' policy literacy shapes the integration of Indonesia's government-endorsed deep learning (DL) approach within Teacher Education Programs (TEPs). Through semi-structured interviews with six teacher educators from four private universities across Jakarta, Bandung, Jambi, and Palembang, the study investigated: (1) how EFL teacher educators conceptualize and demonstrate policy literacy regarding DL, (2) how they translate DL principles into curriculum design and pedagogical practice, and (3) what systemic and institutional barriers impede coherent integration. Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed a persistent policy-practice gap characterized by limited policy literacy, inconsistent pedagogical translation, and structural impediments. While participants demonstrated conceptual recognition of reform goals, their policy literacy remained superficial, lacking the interpretive capacity to operationalize DL principles effectively. Findings of the study show that effective curriculum reform requires transitioning from policy diffusion to pedagogical assimilation through sustained development of interpretive competence, collaborative sense-making platforms, and institutional scaffolding.

Abstract

Limited evidence exists on how platform-specific AI feedback functions in secondary EFL writing assessment—especially regarding its connections to learners’ motivation and self-confidence. This mixed-methods study used a one-group pre–post design with 35 Indonesian secondary EFL students during regular classes, integrating Ginger Writer. Motivation items were adapted from Schmidt & Watanabe, and self-confidence items from Bandura; both scales used 5-point Likert responses and showed good internal consistency. Semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and non-participant observations explored students’ experiences with AI feedback during drafting and revision. Quantitatively, motivation increased significantly (pre: M=20.9, post: M=22.1; t(34)=−2.32, p=.026, Cohen’s d₍z₎≈0.39), while self-confidence rose modestly but not significantly (pre: M=20.7, post: M=21.5; t(34)=−1.80, p=.081, d₍z₎≈0.30). Qualitative data showed students describing immediate, non-judgmental feedback that supported iterative revision, error noticing, and sustained effort, along with limitations such as connectivity issues and the need for teacher mediation to interpret suggestions. Triangulation suggests that quick, actionable feedback is linked to increased motivation during revision cycles, whereas confidence may require more extended exposure and scaffolding. The study indicates that schools can feasibly incorporate platform-specific AI feedback into formative writing assessment when combined with teacher guidance and reliable access; policy should support teacher professional development and infrastructure to enable equitable implementation.

Abstract

The majority of high school students still experience difficulties in creative thinking and creative writing. This study aims to investigate the impact of a guided writing strategy based on Gen-AI and multimedia on creative writing skills and creative thinking abilities. The research method used in this study was a quasi-experimental study involving 250 high school students. Data collection methods used the Torrance Creative Thinking Test and a writing creativity scale. The results showed that a guided writing strategy based on Gen-AI and multimedia improved creative thinking skills and writing creativity in short story writing. Increased flexibility was seen in language variations and adaptation of short stories to short story composition topics. Increased originality was seen in students' thought patterns in the short stories they wrote. Increased elaboration was characterized by more complex and varied linguistic abilities. Furthermore, increased sensitivity was seen in the adaptation of short stories to more comprehensive themes. Thus, a guided writing strategy based on Gen-AI and multimedia can improve thinking skills and writing creativity in short story writing. This study implies that the integration of guided writing with technology can improve writing skills and motivation as well as creative thinking.
