Abstract

One of the most important aspects that must be included in ELT textbooks is culture. This research aims at exploring types of cultural contents and cultural elements. The subject of this research was English Textbook for grade XII entitled “Bahasa Inggris”. This research belongs to content analysis. Document observation was used to collect the data which were analyzed by using Miles & Huberman’s model and coding method. The research findings show that there were three types of culture found in this textbook, namely the source culture (66 times or 58%), target culture (34 times or 30%), and, international culture (14 times or 12%). Concerning the cultural elements, they were represented by product (39 times or 80%), person (9 times or 18%), and practice (1 times or 2%). Meanwhile, perspective was not represented. It implies that the textbook still focused on source cultures which were more easily internalized by the learners and on products which were the most concrete for learners to learn the culture. It is recommended that the authors of the textbook balance the cultural contents proportionally and the teachers creatively insert more target and international cultures to avoid cultural shocks.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the significant influence of giving feedback on improving the descriptive writing ability of grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Hu'u, Dompu, Indonesia. This study used a quantitative method with an experimental design of 20 students who were divided into experimental and control groups. In this study, the results of the pre-test showed that 65% of students obtained scores below 70. After providing feedback, the percentage of students who scored above 70 increased to 85%. To calculate the student score data, the researchers used a paired sample t-test that showed a significant improvement (p = 0.001) with a correlation value of 0.662. An analysis of the effect size yielded a Cohen value d = -1.602, indicating a large effect of the intervention. In addition, questionnaire data showed that more than 80% of students responded positively to feedback, and observations showed an improvement in students' understanding of the structure and language features of descriptive texts.

Abstract

Speaking skills are one of the important aspects in learning English as a foreign language; however, in reality, it still becomes a challenge for junior high school students, including at SMPN 1 Sape. Based on the initial observation, students showed fear, lack of self-confidence, as well as limitations in vocabulary and sentence structure when speaking in English. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the storytelling method in improving the English speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Sape. The research method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR), utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. The reflective spiral model of Kemmis and McTaggart was applied in two cycles, each consisting of two meetings. Quantitative data were collected through pretest and posttest, while qualitative data were obtained through observation, questionnaires, documentation, and field notes. The results of the study showed that the students’ average score increased from 56.41 in the pretest to 78.54 in the posttest of Cycle II, with an N-Gain score of 0.51 (medium category). In addition, students’ active participation and self-confidence in speaking also experienced a significant improvement. Storytelling-based learning with a local cultural context has been proven to enhance students’ speaking skills both communicatively and contextually. In conclusion, the storytelling method is an effective learning strategy for improving junior high school students’ English speaking skills and promoting meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PBL) has been widely promoted as a learner-centred pedagogy in English Language Teaching (ELT) and is increasingly emphasized in teacher professional education programs. However, limited research has examined how in-service teachers experience learning PBL during professional education and how such learning is subsequently enacted in classroom practice, particularly in online professional development contexts in developing countries. Grounded in Vygotsky’s social constructivist theory, this exploratory qualitative study investigates Indonesian in-service English teachers’ experiences of PBL during their Teacher Professional Education (TPE) program and their enactment of PBL in secondary school classrooms. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with three in-service English teachers and analyzed thematically. The study highlights a pedagogical disconnect between individualised professional learning experiences and socially mediated classroom practice and suggest that effective professional education for PBL requires structured opportunities for sustained collaboration, guided mediation, and technology-supported interaction that mirror the pedagogical principles teachers are expected to implement. This study contributes to international discussions on teacher professional learning, PBL enactment, and digitally mediated pedagogy in EFL contexts.
