Abstract

The scholarly discussion surrounding the implications of World English (WE) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in English language teaching has been taking place for decades. As part of the expanding circle country based on Kachru's Three Concentric Circles, Indonesia considers English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and has been gradually influenced by the conceptual frameworks of WE and ELF. This study aims to critically examine the existing literature on the incorporation of ELF into EFL classrooms in Indonesia, with a focus on the following questions: (1) What are the types of ELF concepts that have been introduced to the EFL context in Indonesia? (2) How do teachers perceive and approach the incorporation of ELF in EFL classes? (3) What are the potential opportunities for incorporating ELF in the Indonesian EFL context? and (4) What are the potential challenges facing the incorporation of ELF in the Indonesian EFL context? The findings of this study reveal that the types of ELF in Indonesia can be found in code-mixing and the uniqueness of articles and plurals by Indonesian speakers of English in an ELF context. Half of the teachers observed in the studies were found to be familiar with ELF, with many potentials for implementing ELF in Indonesian EFL considering the fact that Indonesia is as a multilingual country with diverse linguistic culture, and many scholars working on policy recommendations. However, the challenges of ELF in Indonesia still exist due to the practices of native speakers' ideology in Indonesia that have arguably been implemented since the beginning of English language teaching in Indonesia.

Abstract

Debate competitions are integral to university life, fostering critical thinking and public speaking skills among students. However, they also present significant psychological challenges, notably speaking anxiety, which can hinder performance and personal growth. This qualitative study investigates the experiences of speaking anxiety among student debaters at Universitas Pasifik Morotai, focusing on triggers, manifestations, coping strategies, and the evolution of anxiety over time. Ten students of Univrsitas Pasifik Morotai who have previously taken part in National University Debating Championship (NUDC) and Kompetisi Debat Mahasiswa Indonesia (KDMI) were selected to participate in semi-structured interviews, and their responses were illustrated through thematic analysis. The findings revealed that anxiety triggers such as fear of forgetting arguments, pressure to perform, and the competitive environment were amongst the factors contributing to the students’ anxiety. Physical symptoms (e.g., rapid heartbeat), emotional distress (e.g., fear), and cognitive challenges (e.g., difficulty concentrating) were common manifestations that they experienced. Students’ anxiety coping strategies include thorough preparation, social support, and gradual exposure, leading to increased confidence and improved coping over time. These findings contribute nuanced insights into managing speaking anxiety in competitive academic settings, informing support mechanisms and educational practices.

Abstract

Peer feedback and teacher feedback have been discussed in many scholarly works among researchers of second and foreign language (L2) writing field. This qualitative study aims to explore first-year students’ reflections toward peer feedback and teacher feedback activity in paragraph writing course in Indonesian university. This current research focusing on answer two research questions; 1) How are the students’ reflections of peer feedback in paragraph writing course (2) How are the students’ reflections towards the implementation of teacher feedback in paragraph writing course. The findings show that students have complex opinion about peer feedback because they see it as opportunity to improve their writing through feedback from peers but also perceive it negatively due to how they receive the feedback. However, when it comes to teacher feedback students tend to share positive attitudes and experience as well as tend to prefer teacher feedback compared to peer feedback to some extent.
