Abstract

and their solutions in speaking English. The research design of this study was a mixed method with an explanatory sequential design approach. The population of this study was second-grade students, and its sample was two classes consisting of 60 students and 3 English teachers who taught them. The instruments used in this study were questionnaires and interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using the formula from Sugiyono (2005) f/n x 100%, while the qualitative data was analyzed using the technique by Miles and Huberman (1992:16) data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verifying. The results of this study indicate that students still have problems speaking English, especially psychological problems such as fear of making mistakes, lack of self-confidence, lack of motivation, and anxiety. Therefore, based on the problems above, there are several solutions provided by teachers and students to overcome these problems.

Abstract

Literacy practices in EFL contexts within geographically marginalized regions remain understudied, particularly in eastern Indonesia. This study examined how English teachers in rural areas of the Aru Islands Regency, Tual City, and Southeast Maluku Regency enact literacy practices in their classrooms. A mixed-methods explanatory sequential design was employed, with quantitative data collected through an adapted PISA 2018 Language Teacher Questionnaire administered to 19 teachers, followed by semi-structured Zoom interviews with five participants to deepen the survey findings. Descriptive and thematic analyses revealed that teachers demonstrated meaningful commitment to students' literacy development through pre-lesson reading routines, vocabulary enrichment tasks, and integration of digital tools such as Canva and Quizizz. Nevertheless, most teachers held a narrow view of literacy, associating it predominantly with reading skills. Limited infrastructure and students' declining reading motivation posed persistent challenges. Future research should incorporate students' perspectives to provide a more comprehensive account of literacy outcomes.
