Abstract

This study explores the challenges that pre-service teachers face when developing interactive video assessments, with a focus on the technological, pedagogical and psychological aspects involved. While interactive videos have been shown to increase student engagement, some pre-service teachers struggle to create them. Three English education students from Mulawarman University were purposefully selected for the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed technical challenges like unstable internet and delayed AI. Pedagogical challenges such as teachers relied heavily on AI, and limiting creativity. Psychological challenges when participants did not trust the accuracy of AI or the grammar of AI-generated questions, necessitating additional scrutiny. Despite these challenges, the study showed that participants transitioned from passively accepting the AI's output to actively adapting and refining it. This demonstrates that, when teachers take ownership of the contextualisation of materials, interactive video assessments can be effective, provided they are supported by thorough training in digital pedagogy and AI literacy.

Abstract

This study is an attempt to address the issue of how extensive reading (ER) as a supplementary reading approach is able to encourage students’ critical literacy. Further, how ER influences students’ perception of critical literacy related to students’ viewpoint of the texts is examined thoroughly. ER in this study was employed as a supplementary reading activity where students were engaged to read in a large number of materials on a wide range of topics and they had freedom to select the reading material based on its relevance to their interests, knowledge, and experience (Day & Bamford, 2002). Relating the characteristics of ER, it seemed to us that students’ understanding of the text through ER activity should be scrutinized as one important aspect in English language teaching (ELT). In order to get more comprehensive picture, questionnaires were distributed to 38 students in the class. Yet, only 3 (three) students were willing to return the questionnaire and to be interviewed based on their answers in the questionnaire. The findings revealed that ER is evidenced to motivate students to approach texts critically, challenge taken knowledge, relate the texts to world’s issues, improve their awareness of how to see and understand human beings, and question the intention of the texts from distinct viewpoints.Keywords: extensive reading, critical literacy development, EFL

Abstract

This study applied the Technology Acceptance Modes (TAM)framework to investigates university EFL students' acceptance of DeepL machine translation tool, focusing on how frequency of use influences their perceptions. A descriptive qualitative approach was used involving purposive sampling of four students in semi-structured interviews. A short questionnaire was administered beforehand to classify participants into two categories, two frequent and two infrequent DeepL users. of the machine translation tool DeepL in the context of learning English as Foreign Language (EFL), involving four participants (two frequent users and two infrequent users). The results showed that frequent users found DeepL valuable for vocabulary acquisition, translation accuracy, and academic writing support, whereas infrequent users highlighted limitations such as the lack of a paraphrasing feature and issues with formality. These differences suggest that usage frequency significantly impacts perceived usefulness and ease of use of the tool. This study is among the first to extend the TAM framework to a machine translation tool like DeepL, addressing a gap in MT research by examining the role of usage frequency. The findings offer both theoretical and practical significance, providing insights into how MT tools can be more effectively integrated into EFL learning.

Abstract

Kajian akademik ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara komprehensif pelaksanaan Dana Bantuan Operasional Sekolah Daerah (BOSDA) di Kabupaten Mahakam Ulu sebagai landasan yuridis dan empiris dalam penyusunan Peraturan Kepala Daerah (Perkada). Meskipun BOSDA bertujuan untuk meningkatkan mutu pelayanan pendidikan dengan memberikan dukungan biaya operasional non-personalia, implementasinya sering menghadapi tantangan terkait landasan hukum, mekanisme penetapan alokasi, dan akuntabilitas penggunaan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah hukum normatif-empiris, menggabungkan analisis terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan terkait (APBD, Permendikbud, dan peraturan daerah yang relevan) dengan data empiris di lapangan yang dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dan observasi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Belum terdapat regulasi setingkat Perkara yang secara spesifik dan terperinci mengatur tata kelola BOSDA, yang menyebabkan keragaman interpretasi dan pelaksanaan di tingkat sekolah

Abstract

This study examined the forms and functions of lecturers’ code-switching in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom interaction in Indonesian higher education. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through classroom observations and student interviews and analyzed thematically. The study focused on naturally occurring interactions across multiple lessons to capture authentic language use. The findings reveal three main forms of code-switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag switching, with inter- and intra-sentential appearing more salient during explanatory and instructional sessions. Functionally, code-switching was used toexplain material, give instructions, check understanding, build rapport, and manage classroom behavior. Students reported that code-switching supported their understanding while still maintaining the use of English as the main instructional language. These results indicate that lecturers’ code-switching is a patterned and interactionally grounded practice, demonstrating how bilingual resources can be effectively leveraged to enhance learning outcomes and student engagement in Indonesian EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a major challenge for students learning English as a foreign language. It often arises from fear of making mistakes, limited vocabulary, poor pronunciation, and the pressure of being judged. This study explores how English Education students at Mulawarman University experience and manage speaking anxiety. Using a qualitative design with semi-structured interviews involving three participants, data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in causes, triggers, and coping strategies. The findings reveal that anxiety is most intense during formal tasks such as presentations or spontaneous questioning. Students adopt strategies like self-practice, note preparation, breathing techniques, self-recording, and peer support to reduce anxiety. These approaches gradually enhance confidence and improve speaking performance. The study concludes that emotional and instructional support from teachers and peers significantly reduces anxiety levels. Implications suggest that educators should foster supportive classroom environments and integrate reflective speaking practices to help students overcome fear and participate actively in English communication.

Abstract

Background:  This study explored how students with high and low English reading proficiency employed online reading strategies when engaging with academic texts. It focused on sixth-semester of undergraduate students in Kalimantan Island. Guided by metacognitive theory, which highlights learners’ ability to monitor and regulate reading processes, this study addressed the growing importance of online academic reading in higher education.  Methodology:  A comparative qualitative design was employed. Six students were purposively selected based on their TOEFL reading scores to represent different proficiency levels. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to identify strategy use, reasons behind their choices, and the difficulties encountered. Findings:  Students applied global, problem-solving, and support strategies differently based on proficiency. High-proficiency students read with clear goals, adjusted pace, and used contextual clues. Low-proficiency students focused on task completion, avoided long texts, and depended on external tools. While both slowed down when necessary, high-proficiency students showed more control. In support strategies, high-proficiency students used selective notes and minimal translation, while low-proficiency students relied on full translation. Conclusion:  Strategy use was shaped by reading habits, learning experience, and proficiency level. Common difficulties included eye strain and lengthy texts, while vocabulary and technical problems varied. These findings highlight the need for proficiency-sensitive strategy instruction that also supports effective use of digital reading tools and helps students manage screen-based reading challenges. Originality:  This study fills a gap by comparing online reading strategies across proficiency levels in academic contexts. It provides insight into how cognitive and contextual factors shape digital reading behavior

Abstract

Merdeka Mengajar Platform (MMP) was released to support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. While this platform aims to improve teacher competence and learning effectiveness, research into the extent to which English teachers adopt and practice MMP is limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze English teacher's beliefs and practices in implementing MMP, identify the alignment and misalignment between beliefs and practices, identify the challenges faced, and explore the strategies used in adapting teaching practices to MMP principles. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of learning documents. The results showed that English teacher has a positive belief in MMP as a useful tool in improving pedagogical skills, facilitating differentiated learning, and enriching teaching methods. However, there were challenges in implementing MMP include low active student participation, limited facility support, and varying levels of teacher understanding of the platform. To overcome these challenges, the English teacher applied strategies such as the use of diverse learning media, differentiated assessments, and intensive communication with parents. The results of this study confirm the need for continuous support in the form of professional training and provision of adequate infrastructure to optimize the use of MMP. Further studies are recommended to examine the long-term impact of MMP on teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes in English language learning.
