Abstract

This study examines the evolving role of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in the context of curriculum changes in Indonesia. The research addresses two key objectives: (1) to describe the characteristics of effective English teachers and (2) to identify the traits of ineffective English teachers. As educational reforms in Indonesia prompt shifts in teaching strategies, understanding these characteristics is critical to fostering improved learning outcomes in the EFL classroom. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, this study employs an interpretive approach to gather and analyze data. Qualitative research, in this context, attempts to describe and explain the teaching phenomena as they occur naturally. The study relies on interviews, observations, and document analysis to collect data, which is presented descriptively rather than numerically. The findings highlight the importance of adaptive teaching methods, pedagogical skills, and student-centered learning approaches in shaping the effectiveness of English teachers. Conversely, ineffective teachers tend to lack adaptability, demonstrate poor classroom management, and fail to engage students actively in the learning process. The significance of this research lies in its potential to inform teacher training programs and professional development initiatives. By providing a clear delineation between effective and ineffective teaching practices, the study offers valuable insights into how teachers can better align their methods with contemporary curriculum demands. This, in turn, can lead to enhanced critical thinking and language skills among EFL students in Indonesia. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on EFL teaching in Indonesia and underscores the need for continuous adaptation in teaching methodologies to meet evolving educational standards.

Abstract

This research investigates the challenges faced by new students of the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) in writing essays. Writing is a complex skill that involves the organization of ideas, proper use of grammar, and clarity of expression. New students often struggle with various aspects of essay writing, which can hinder their academic progress. The study employs a qualitative research approach, focusing on 142 students from the second semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. Data was collected through interviews and analyzed descriptively. The findings reveal several key challenges that students encounter when writing essays. These include difficulties with English grammar, low vocabulary, challenges organizing ideas, and issues expressing thoughts clearly. Additionally, students face non-technical obstacles such as a lack of confidence, poor time management, and the physical strain of writing. The study highlights that the essay writing process is multifaceted, requiring not only technical skills but also critical thinking and self-management abilities. Understanding these challenges provides valuable insights for educators in designing more effective teaching strategies. By addressing both the technical and psychological barriers to writing, lecturers can help students improve their essay-writing skills and better prepare them for higher academic demands. The research emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to teaching writing, one that considers the diverse challenges faced by students and aims to enhance their overall academic performance.
