Abstract

Developing learning tools is a skill that a teacher needs to master. In this case, learning English requires material appropriate to real-life, called Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) so that the language mastered by students is the language that is applied in everyday life, including the use of songs. Although many studies have explored songs for English language learning, the integration of Islamic songs in English classroom activities has not been widely discussed. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the viewsand practice of prospective English teachers on the integration of Islamic songs. The method used is a qualitative approach involving analyzing online interviews and teaching module documents prepared by prospective teachers. The results show that the consideration for selecting songs expressed by the prospective teacher is based on three orientations, namely pedagogical, psychological, and cultural. Regarding the worksheet design, participants prefer giving fill-in-the-blank format as the main assessment in measuring students' level of understanding. This research implies that CLT is good for EFL class, so the pedagogical knowledge possessed by prospective teachers need to be fostered, particularly in selecting the appropriate content of the song and adjusting it to create various communicative and meaningful activities for EFL learners.

Abstract

Many EFL learners who have spent years studying the language cannot perform well in writing. The difficulties in producing written English can hinder the success of learning English. Thus, this research aims to analyse the challenges that students commonly face in writing descriptive text. It employed a qualitative descriptive method to study the writing performance of seventh-grade EFL learners in one of the Indonesian junior high schools. Observation, students’ texts, and questionnaires were used to collect the data. The results of this study show that the difficulties in writing descriptive text concern language (vocabulary and language use), cognition (content, organisation, and mechanics), and psychological difficulties (feedback). The significant difficulty found in the students’ writing is reflected by mistakes made in language mechanics, which returned the lowest mean score (1.71). The other factors contributing to the students’ low writing performance are lack of vocabulary, of interest in learning English, and of understanding of language use and the structure of the text. Further factors include limited exposure to English writing activities – compounded by limited availability of dictionaries – as well as ineffective feedback from the teacher. Based on the results, it is suggested that teachers pay more attention to all aspects of challenges faced by students and their contributing factors by creating or providing creative and effective learning methods or media that can encourage students to achieve their learning objectives.Keywords: Students’ difficulties; Writing; Descriptive text

Abstract : General background: Pronunciation is a fundamental component in English language learning, especially for primary school students, as it affects communication clarity and confidence. Specific background: In many Indonesian primary schools, pronunciation teaching is often limited to conventional methods without engaging multimedia tools, leading to low motivation and varied achievement. Knowledge gap: Limited research has applied reading aloud activities with Powtoon video to support pronunciation improvement in primary-level learners. Aims: This study investigates the use of Powtoon video integrated with reading aloud to improve the pronunciation of 24 sixth-grade students at a primary school in Pasuruan. Results: Using a quantitative pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test, findings show a significant increase in post-test scores (M=79.27) compared to pre-test scores (M=59.79), with a paired t-test value of -24.472, p < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference. Novelty: This research applies Powtoon not for reading comprehension but specifically for pronunciation through reading aloud, targeting young learners. Implications: The results suggest that integrating Powtoon into pronunciation lessons can increase student engagement, provide multisensory learning experiences, and improve pronunciation consistency.
