Abstract

In blended learning environments, learner identity construction and the factors influencing it have received less attention than the extensive study on language learner identity in face-to-face classroom settings. This critical review paper critically summarizes and reviews a qualitative case study on learner identity construction in blended learning environments through collaborative writing presented in Chen et al.’s (2022) study. Their research addresses a significant gap in second language acquisition by exploring identity construction across online and offline contexts. Through class observations, recordings, platform logs, and interviews, the researchers identified distinct learner identities in face-to-face sessions (Group Leader, Spokesperson, Summarizer, and Follower) and online writing (Industrious Contributor, Prudent Reader, Procrastinator, and Cooperative Writer). The study reveals that identity construction stems from interactions between personal factors (language proficiency, personality traits) and contextual elements (peer dynamics, assigned roles, teacher supervision). In this critical review paper, the researchers analyse the study's methodological approach, findings, and theoretical contributions, highlighting strengths (comprehensive exploration, data triangulation) and limitations (small sample size, lack of demographic diversity). Chen et al.'s study contributes valuable insights into the dynamic nature of learner identity in contemporary educational settings and offers practical implications for curriculum design in blended environments.

Abstract

The phenomena of code-switching and code-mixing were inevitably in EFL classroom. Several studies have been conducted to investigate those issues, meanwhile this research was significant to seek for the kind of code-switching and code-mixing used by EFL students across different age and how this affected their English proficiency level. Therefore, a descriptive-qualitative study through observation was conducted to investigate what kinds of code-switching and code-mixing used. The observation was conducted during the online classes by analysing the recording utterances used by the three EFL students with different age and background. Then, it was found that the code-switching and code-mixing used by the students were varied, such as code-mixing in the form of word, inter-sentential code-switching, and intra-sentential code-switching. Indeed, the kind of code-switching and code-mixing used by the students would show their English proficiency level

Abstract

English speaking skills and 21st-century competencies are crucial for vocational high school graduates, yet they remain low in Indonesia. Digital Multimodal Composing (DMC) strategies, especially when combined with a task-based approach, offer the potential to enhance both skills. Unfortunately, the implementation of DMC in this context remains rarely explored. This research aimed to explore the implementation of DMC on English-speaking and 21st-century skills in vocational high school. This is a qualitative case study, using observation and interview as data collection techniques. This study involved a class with 17 students majoring in Visual Communication Design and an English teacher. The finding revealed that the implementation of DMC followed the steps of Willis (1996) and had a great potential in developing speaking and 21st-century skills. However, the post-task stage was absent, which caused the learners to lose the opportunity to engage in linguistic review and language focus.

Abstract

In an era where English proficiency opens global doors, speaking fluency remains the Achilles' heel for many language learners. Initial observations at a senior high school in Kota Malang Grade XI students struggled with speaking, lacked confidence, and had low motivation to improve their speaking ability. Teachers also faced constraints in applying effective speaking strategies due to limited instructional time. To address these issues, this study integrated the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy with the RealLife English application, focusing on the “Pair” phase to maximize interaction and authentic communication. This Classroom Action Research (CAR), following Kemmis & McTaggart’s model, involved 36 eleventh-grade students over eight meetings. Data were collected through speaking tests, questionnaires, classroom observations, and interviews. Students’ speaking performance was assessed using an analytical scoring rubric covering fluency, lexical resource, grammar, and pronunciation. Findings indicate a significant improvement in speaking fluency, supported by notable gains in other criteria. Students reported enhanced vocabulary, greater confidence, and deeper cultural awareness through interactions with international peers on RealLife. Analysis of perceptions revealed three key outcomes: meaningful learning through cultural exchange, effective synergy between a classical cooperative strategy and digital tools, and improved learning efficiency when integrating flipped learning with TPS. This research demonstrates that TPS combined with RealLife offers a powerful, innovative approach to fostering speaking proficiency in EFL contexts. However, there are some shortcomings that should be noted, including the connection issue during the action phase. Some suggestion is also taken into this study.

Abstract

Saat ini guru dituntut untuk selalu kreatif dan inovatif dalam mengembangkan bahan ajar bahasa Inggris karena banyak siswa sekolah dasar yang memiliki kemampuan bahasa Inggris yang masih rendah. Guru kelas diwajibkan menguasai semua mata pelajaran termasuk bahasa Inggris, tetapi sebagian besar dari mereka masih bergantung pada lembar kerja siswa (LKS) sebagai bahan ajar utama. Masalah yang dihadapi di sekolah wilayah urban adalah minimnya akses kegiatan-kegiatan penunjang yang terkait penggunaan teknologi dalam pembelajaran dan menciptakan bahan ajar yang kreatif dan inovatif.  Oleh karena itu, guru perlu mendapatkan kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan dalam menciptakan bahan ajar baik digital maupun non-digital. Bahan ajar digital dirancang sebagai bentuk adaptasi terhadap kemajuan teknologi yang pesat, sedangkan bahan ajar non-digital dimaksudkan untuk mendukung praktik pembelajaran yang berlangsung saat ini. Peserta dalam pelatihan ini berjumlah 20 orang guru dan tenaga kependidikan MI Miftahul Ulum 02, kabupaten Malang, Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan meliputi pelatihan, pendampingan, implementasi dan evaluasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa 52,9 % peserta yang awalnya belum pernah mengikuti pelatihan pengembangan bahan ajar baik digital dan non-digital, kini 75 % peserta merasa mendapat pengetahuan terkait pembuatan bahan ajar. Selain itu, 82,4% peserta fokus menggunakan LKS dalam pembelajaran, kini 100% peserta mempunyai satu bahan ajar digital, satu bahan ajar non-digital. Pellatihan ini menunjung pembeljaran yang kontekstual berbasis teknologi di sekolah dasar wilayah rural. Development of English Lesson Digital and Non-Digital Teaching Materials for Teachers at MI Miftahul Ulum 02 Putat Lor, Malang Regency Abstract Currently, teachers are required to be creative and innovative in developing English language teaching materials because many elementary school students have low English skills. Classroom teachers are required to master all subjects, including English, but most of them still rely on student worksheets (LKS) as the main teaching material. A problem faced in urban schools is the limited access to supporting activities related to the use of technology in learning and creating creative and innovative teaching materials. Therefore, teachers need training and mentoring in creating both digital and non-digital teaching materials. Digital teaching materials are designed as a form of adaptation to rapid technological advances, while non-digital teaching materials are intended to support current learning practices. Participants in this training were 20 teachers and educational staff from MI Miftahul Ulum 02, Malang Regency, Indonesia. The methods used included training, mentoring, implementation, and evaluation. The results of the activity showed that 52.9% of participants who had not previously participated in training on developing digital and non-digital teaching materials, now 75% of participants felt they had gained knowledge related to creating teaching materials. In addition, 82.4% of participants focused on using LKS in learning, now 100% of participants have one digital teaching material, one non-digital teaching material. This training supports technology-based contextual learning in elementary schools in rural areas.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media transformed communication, encouraging the emergence of slang as a creative, identity-driven linguistic practice among Generation Z (Gen Z). Previous studies extensively examined types, functions, and general impacts of slang, presenting contradictory conclusions, either its positive role or negative implications. These inconsistent findings make it difficult to understand the actual role of English slang in communication effectiveness. However, limited research examined how Indonesian Gen Z use English slang and how it affects communication effectiveness among Gen Z users with similar linguistic backgrounds and comparable English proficiency. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates the types of English slang used by Indonesian Gen Z majoring in English studies in communication and analyzes its effects on clarity and effectiveness. With a qualitative-descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires (N=65) and semi-structured interviews with selected participants (n=6). The collected slang was categorized using a slang taxonomy and analyzed in relation to perceived message clarity and effectiveness. The findings reveal four types of slang: fresh and creative, flippant, acronym, and clipping. Acronyms were reported as the most frequently used slang in communication. The interviews indicate participants perceive slang as having positive impacts on communication effectiveness, self-expression, vocabulary development, and strengthening solidarity. However, the use of slang causes misunderstandings for those unfamiliar with slang and may encourage its inappropriate use in formal contexts. Future research should involve more diverse participant groups and examine the long-term effects of English slang on language use and communication.

Abstract

This study delves into the use and impact of fanilect, a specialized form of language, within Taylor Swift’s fandom on TikTok. By employing discourse analysis, it examines the various forms and functions of fanilect in this digital community. The findings reveal four key types of fanilect: jargon, which consists of specific terms and phrases used only within the fan group; intertextual references, where fans incorporate Taylor Swift's lyrics or cultural references into their interactions; routine interactions, such as repeated behaviors or phrases during events or online discussions; and multimodal communication where fans express themselves through a combination of text, images, and videos. Furthermore, the study identifies fanilect's roles in shaping the dynamics within the Swiftie fandom. First, it contributes to identity formation, helping fans identify themselves as part of the community. Second, it establishes power structures, where knowledge of fanilect signifies status within the fandom. Third, fanilect fosters community building by encouraging emotional connections and shared experiences. Lastly, it enhances creative expression, allowing fans to engage with the fandom in varied and artistic ways. This research provides critical insights into how fanilect influences community interactions and identity within Taylor Swift’s fanbase, offering broader implications for understanding linguistic practices in digital fan cultures.

Abstract

Blended learning has emerged as a prominent teaching approach in the post-pandemic era, particularly in higher education. This study investigated students' motivation levels on blended learning environments. Using mixed-method design, data were collected from 101 third-semester English Language Education students at a public university in Malang, Indonesia. Participants who had participated in both in-person and online learning completed online questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed using formula from Sugiyono (2015) to derive percentage data. Then, semi- structures interviews transcripts were analyzed using the interactive qualitative data analysis model, such as data condensation and display, conclusion and verification. The findings of this study indicated that students expressed primarily high level of motivation in blended learning environments. Further, their motivation levels were influenced by various factors, including clarity of materials, technology working properly, prior learning experiences, and the physical and emotional environment. While the findings express the potential for blended learning to foster learner autonomy and learner motivation, it should be noted that the study was limited by sample size, students’ experiences, and self-reported data. In turn, future research should include contexts and methods that involve more participants to increase generalizability and further understanding of learner engagement in blended learning environments.

Abstract

he current study aims to deepen knowledge on Indonesian English as a foreign language (EFL) lecturers' perception of screencast feedback, their feedback practice, and the consistency between their feedback practice and perception. To investigate the phenomena, five Indonesian university-level EFL lecturers and their EFL students (N=30) were recruited to participate in the study. The researcher employed several data collection techniques including open ended pre-survey, students' essay collection, think-aloud protocol, and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the EFL teacher participants have positive perception and towards screencast feedback in L2 writing, which influenced their feedback practice. However, the study also discovered two inconsistencies between the teachers' perception of the focus and the type of feedback they provided and their actual practice.

Abstract

This study explores translanguaging and trans-semiotizing in employment, benefits and challenges, and situations facilitated or hindering the learning process in special needs education for students with intellectual disabilities in Indonesia. This research conducted a case study on two English teachers in SLBN 3 Banjarmasin. With a qualitative approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations on intellectual disabilities classroom, for the junior high school. Results from two teachers show that both teachers use three languages; Banjar (local language), Indonesian, and English. They also employ various semiotic modes to increase students’ understanding, create a comfortable learning environment, and reduce academic pressure. The challenges faced by teachers include differences in mother tongue between teachers and students, spent time in lesson preparation and implementation. In conclusion, translanguaging and trans-semiotizing help students who have difficulty understanding vocabulary. However, excessive use without careful planning or without balancing verbal and non-verbal modes, makes students completely dependent on their mother tongue and semiotic signs, this can actually hinder verbal language skills and hinder students' progress in learning the target language.
