This qualitative study examines cultural representation in the Indonesian EFL textbook "Think Globally Act Locally" for Grade 9 students. Employing a descriptive design and content analysis approach, the research applies the theoretical frameworks of Cortazzi & Jin (regarding cultural categories: Source, Target, and International Cultures) and Yuen (regarding cultural dimensions: Product, Practice, and Perspective). The findings reveal a conspicuous imbalance. Cultural representation is significantly dominated by Indonesian Source Culture, reflected in the use of local names, folklore, cuisine, and landmarks. While this aligns with the "Act Locally" directive, this dominance overshadows the inclusion of both Target and International Cultures, which are not only minimal but also presented superficially. Furthermore, the analysis of cultural dimensions indicates a heavy reliance on surface-level representations of Products, while understanding of Practices and, in particular, the underlying Perspectives or philosophical values of cultures is severely limited. The study concludes that the textbook's unbalanced approach risks constraining students' global outlook. Therefore, it recommends a more equitable and profound integration of diverse cultural categories and dimensions to effectively foster the intercultural awareness competence essential for navigating global dynamics.

This study investigates teachers' strategies for applying the EWA application in the classroom. Using qualitative methods, data were collected from teachers through observation, interviews, and documentation. The documentation consisted of materials from teachers who used the EWA application, while structured interviews provided detailed insights into their experiences teaching English vocabulary with the app. The results highlight two main strategies: Cooperative Learning and the Clustering Method. In Cooperative Learning, students share and exchange vocabulary, promoting peer-to-peer learning. The Clustering Method involves using pictures to prompt students to identify related vocabulary, enhancing visual learning. Both strategies actively engage students and make learning enjoyable due to the EWA app's interactive and visually appealing features. However, internet connectivity issues pose challenges. Teachers utilize LCD projectors and computer labs to overcome these, ensuring that lessons proceed smoothly. This study concludes that using Cooperative Learning and the Clustering Method with the EWA application can significantly enhance student participation and enjoyment in learning English vocabulary.

This study employs a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design, specifically the one-group pre-test and post-test. The sample of the study consists of IX.1 class students at SMP Muhammadiyah Tilango, selected due to their low vocabulary skills based on interviews with teachers and researchers. The research aims to analyze the effect of problem-based learning on improving students' vocabulary in narrative texts. Data were collected through vocabulary tests administered before and after the intervention. In addition, observations were conducted from the first to the fourth meeting to assess the effectiveness of the method. The results show a significant improvement in the vocabulary skills of the experimental class compared to the control class, which did not receive any treatment. Data analysis using the t-test reveals that the calculated t-value of 4.108 is greater than the t-table value of 2.119, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). Thus, it can be concluded that problem-based learning effectively improves students' vocabulary skills. This study implies that the problem-based learning method can be implemented as an effective approach to enhance vocabulary learning in secondary schools.
