Abstract

In order to give the lecturer with the necessary information to construct effective teaching practices for preparation, in-class activities, and evaluation, the capacities and requirements of students performing translation work should be determined as early as possible. With regard to the students’ interest, expectations, knowledge, abilities, and experience, among other factors, this preliminary study sought to determine the students’ capacities and requirements. The preliminary research participants were third-semester students enrolled in the English Language Education department of a university in Lamongan Regency, who planned to enroll in translation courses during the next three semesters. Through the use of both closed- and open-ended survey questions, the descriptive approach was used in this study. Based on a few theories of teaching and learning translation, such as those proposed by Duff (1994), Gile (1995), Tisgam (2009), Clavijo & Marin (2013), and Wang (2014), the data were examined. The data analysis’s elaborations primarily addressed the students’ capacities and requirements to acquire thorough and understandable explanations of the indicated components. Following data analysis, recommendations were made for how to create a teaching design that included instructional strategies, materials, kinds of practices, and evaluation.

Abstract

Speaking skills are regarded as one of the most difficult skills to be acquired by EFL students, especially high school EFL students, because of language and psychological factors. This paper attempts to examine high school EFL students’ speaking difficulties as identified by peer feedback in TikTok speaking activities. Qualitative descriptive design was adopted in this study by involving 15 tenth-grade students in carrying out speaking activities in the form of recording TikTok video clips and commenting on their peers’ videos. The data obtained include speaking clips, peer feedback comments, and reflective statements of the participants, which were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The results found that there were four different types of speaking difficulties, namely fluency difficulties, pronunciation difficulties, organizational difficulties, and difficulties related to confidence and anxiety levels of students when conducting a speaking activity. This can be evidenced by the students’ hesitation, frequent pauses, mispronunciation, disorganized speaking, and lack of confidence when speaking. Peer feedback comments play an important role in discovering this problem pattern among high school EFL students.

Abstract

The use of generative Artificial Intelligence has increasingly influenced English Language Teaching, particularly in supporting speaking practice. One widely used AI tool is ChatGPT, which offers flexible opportunities for language learning. However, studies on students’ perceptions of its use in speaking activities at the senior high school level remain limited. This study aims to explore EFL students’ perceptions of using ChatGPT for speaking practice. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through a questionnaire and supported by semi-structured interviews with selected students, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that students perceive ChatGPT as a useful tool that provides additional opportunities for practice, increases confidence, and supports independent learning. However, several challenges were also identified, including over-reliance on the tool, uncertainty about the accuracy of responses, and the lack of real human interaction. Students also emphasized the importance of teacher guidance in using ChatGPT effectively and responsibly. These findings suggest that students’ perceptions should be considered in integrating AI tools into language learning, and that guided use of ChatGPT can support more meaningful speaking instruction.

Abstract

This study investigates how motivation can evolve over time within a fee-based private English course in East Java, Indonesia. Most existing studies have focused on formal educational contexts, and we investigate the realities of what can happen when participation is completely voluntary, meaning learners can actively disengage from learning at any time. This was carried out using Dörnyei's L2 Motivational Self System and Self-Determination Theory frame for motivation, following 18 students aged between 9 to 15 over a period of six months. Data were gathered via reflective journals & semi-structured interviews. The study found motivation in this context was not static, with motivation varying according to how students perceive the class atmosphere, teacher behavior, activities and their own feelings of progression. While many students were influenced by their parents to sign up for the course, they continued to attend feeling that they were being supported and they could do it. Little moments when they received something as simple as praise or were able to successfully complete something had an impact on their motivation and as such, the little praise was not insignificant. If learners encountered a situation where a task felt too difficult, or they did not receive feedback, motivation was lost which sometimes meant they stopped attending. Younger learners appeared to be more affected by if the class felt enjoyable, as older learners began to care about their future aspirations more. The study concludes that in non-formal English education, emotional security and meaningful teacher-student relationships are more crucial than rigid curricula or disciplinary structures.

Abstract

This convergent parallel mixed-methods study examined the effect of a six-week, peer-mediated Creative Partnership intervention on the critical thinking and reading comprehension of 32 senior high school EFL students (aged 15–17, intermediate/CEFR B1 proficiency) at a senior high school in East Java, Indonesia, and explored how the intervention reshaped classroom interaction. Quantitative data were collected using a researcher-developed, expert-validated pre-/post-test measuring literal, inferential, and evaluative comprehension aligned with Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy (Cronbach’s α = .87) and analyzed with a paired-sample t-test and Cohen’s d. Qualitative data classroom observation (Cohen’s κ = .82), semi-structured interviews, and reflective journals were analyzed through the thematic coding procedure of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. Results indicated a statistically significant overall gain in reading comprehension, t(31) = 10.21, p < .001, 95% CI [13.44, 20.14], with a very large effect size (d = 1.81); evaluative comprehension improved the most (36.4%, d = 2.35), followed by inferential (29.4%, d = 2.15) and literal comprehension (19.3%, d = 1.84). Thematic analysis identified four convergent patterns: dialogic co-construction of meaning, emergence of critical and reflective thinking, collaborative creativity and engagement, and the teacher’s repositioning as co-learner. The integration of both strands suggests that structured creative partnership functions as a cognitive, social, and affective scaffold that moves students from literal decoding toward higher-order interpretation. Findings support Creative Partnership as a promising pedagogical model for developing critical thinking and reading comprehension in EFL classrooms, while the single-group, single-site design underscores the need for controlled, multi-site replication before broad claims of effectiveness are warranted.

Abstract

Classroom-based evidence on Strategic Interactive Writing Instruction (SIWI) in Indonesian special-school contexts remains limited, despite the urgent need for accessible English composition instruction for deaf students. This qualitative case study examines how SIWI supports English writing among seventh-grade deaf students in an Indonesian special school. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two English teachers, classroom observations, and document analysis of student writing samples and instructional materials. Reflexive thematic analysis identified three connected patterns. First, teachers implemented SIWI through visual scaffolding, gestures, board modeling, guided vocabulary work, and shared text construction. Second, students became more willing to participate in writing activities when English words were linked to visible meanings and immediate feedback. Third, student progress appeared strongest in vocabulary, formulaic expressions, and simple sentence frames, while paragraph organization, genre control, and independent revision remained limited. The study contributes classroom-level evidence on locally adapted SIWI practice in an Indonesian SLB context. It suggests that SIWI can make English writing more accessible for deaf learners when teachers combine language access, interaction, and explicit metalinguistic mediation. Further instruction should strengthen systematic writing portfolios, genre-based tasks, and rubric-guided assessment.
