Abstract

This research studied student motivation in light of Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System theory. There are three motivational dimensions: Ideal-L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and Language Learning Experience in this theory. According to the idea, this research studied whether individual variables (gender and school accreditations) influence students’ motivation in private senior high schools. This study used a quantitative survey research methodology. This survey included second-grade pupils from seventeen private high schools in Samarinda. 193 students were chosen as the sample using random cluster selection and random individual sampling. This research used the English Learner Questionnaire (ELQ) developed by Dörnyei and Taguchi. This study used SPSS 25 of descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The data revealed that private high school students in Samarinda were highly motivated (M = 4.27) to study the English language. In addition, a statistical analysis revealed female pupils demonstrated greater motivation than male classmates. In addition, the findings for the relationship between school accreditations and student motivation revealed that school accreditations do not predict learners’ motivation. Based on the L2 Motivational Self System, pupils at private senior high schools in Samarinda were highly motivated. Their motivation was often defined by gender, but not by educational attainment.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of reflective teaching practices by an English lecturer instructing non-English major students and examines its contributions to professional development and classroom engagement. Reflective teaching involves a continuous cycle of self-assessment, adaptation, and improvement, which enables educators to refine their teaching methodologies to better meet students' needs. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research employed multiple data collection methods, including reflective journals, semi-structured interviews with the lecturer and students, and non-participant classroom observations. The findings indicate that reflective teaching significantly enhances lecturer self-awareness, fostering a more adaptive, student-centered instructional approach. By regularly analyzing his teaching methods and incorporating student feedback, the lecturer was able to create a more engaging and inclusive learning environment. Students reported increased motivation, participation, and comprehension as a result of these pedagogical adjustments. Even though the study found some benefits, it also found some problems that can make it hard to use reflective practices consistently. These problems include a lack of time and too much administrative work that should be done by the lecturer. The research underscores the importance of integrating reflective teaching into professional development programs to promote a culture of continuous learning among educators. Additionally, it highlights the need for further studies involving diverse educational settings to explore the long-term impacts of reflective teaching on both instructors and students. By addressing these gaps, future research can contribute to the development of more effective and sustainable approaches for incorporating reflection into higher education teaching practices

Abstract

Driven by the growing awareness of cultural relevance in English language teaching (ELT), this study presents the development of English materials based on Islamic stories for Islamic schools. This study aims to describe the design of English teaching materials that integrate Islamic values in response to the lack of culturally appropriate resources available to teachers in Islamic educational settings. This study used a qualitative approach to describe the process of developing teaching materials from Islamic stories through the development stages. The primary data consists of drafts of teaching materials at each development stage, from initial design through revisions to the final prototype. Supporting data is obtained from literature, learning theories, and teaching materials design principles, which serve as the foundation for each development step. The development process involved determining learning goals, selecting and adapting content, texts, and tasks, instructions, and learning outcomes assessment. The materials were carefully designed to meet students’ linguistic level and moral development goals. In the process, the researchers do self-evaluation, consultation with experts, and revision to produce high-quality materials. This study highlights the broader framework of Islamization of knowledge in ELT, emphasizing the importance of aligning language learning with Islamic worldviews. By offering culturally and spiritually relevant learning resources, the materials developed in this study provide English teachers with practical tools to foster both language proficiency and religious character education in Muslim learners.

Abstract

Reading is a crucial skill that Indonesian learners are expected to master, as outlined in the 2013 Curriculum. Students are required to develop comprehension skills to understand both explicit and implicit information in a text. To assess students’ knowledge, teachers often use tests. During these reading tests, students may employ strategies to aid their comprehension. This study investigates the strategies used by secondary high school students at MA Darul Ihsan Samarinda during an English reading comprehension test, along with the challenges they face when using these strategies. This study employs a qualitative design to examine the strategies utilized by six students: high score, middle score, and lowest score. The data, gathered through the think-aloud method and interviews, is analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that students employed 23 out of 31 strategies to answer factual questions and 19 strategies for inferential questions. Both the high score and middle score students predominantly used the strategy of reading the text for clues in both types of questions. Conversely, the lowest score student primarily relied on the strategy of rereading the question. Despite the differences, all students utilized a meaning-based text strategy to choose their answers. The middle score and lowest score students frequently faced challenges with time management and complex vocabulary. Additionally, using mixed-method research designs could provide deeper insights into test-taking strategies. This study focused on the strategies used by high school students during reading tests, while other research has examined test-taking strategies in high-stakes language tests
