Abstract

The 1970s marked the emergence of innovative pedagogical approaches, notably Caleb Gattegno's Silent Way, as a response to the shortcomings of traditional learning methods like the Grammar-translation approach, which persist today. This research investigates the advantages and challenges of implementing Silent Way at an English Club in Bandung. Two English teachers from the English Club comprised the study cohort, and a qualitative case study served as the chosen methodology. The researcher meticulously processed the analysis through multiple stages. The researcher closely examined the observations to capture detailed insights, while also condensing interview transcriptions for quick reference, contributing to a robust dataset. By combining data from both observations and interviews, this comprehensive approach guided the conclusions of the study, which were presented within the research framework. The findings underscore numerous benefits associated with the utilization of the Silent Way in teaching English to children within an English club. Particularly noteworthy is its capacity to heighten engagement, boost students' confidence, and enhance critical thinking skills. Nonetheless, the study identifies certain internal and external factors as impediments to the full-scale implementation of this teaching method.

Abstract

In line with the global trend of the internationalization of higher education, students are increasingly seeking educational experiences abroad. In this context, English as a lingua franca (ELF) plays a key role in navigating multilingual and multicultural environments. This study examines the experiences of six Indonesian students participating in the International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA) program, focusing on their use of ELF in Asian and European contexts. Using a qualitative case study design, with data collected through individual interviews and focus group discussion, the study highlights that familiarity with the host country’s language and cultural knowledge contribute to participants’ ability to communicate effectively. Participants’ experiences indicate the development of intercultural competence as they navigated linguistic and cultural differences. Two main themes emerged: (1) meaning-making through multilingual resources, and (2) negotiating understanding and misunderstanding in ELF contexts. The study offers implications for international education programs, particularly in strengthening language support and intercultural preparation to better equip students for global academic and social engagement.
