Abstract

The implementation of the independent curriculum continues to raise numerous questions among educators. Teachers face the challenge of adapting to and successfully implementing this curriculum by employing engaging media and effective learning strategies tailored to their respective disciplines. This is especially crucial in the context of English language instruction, a subject often perceived as difficult by students. One potential solution to address these challenges is the adoption of differentiated learning strategies. Differentiated learning aims to unlock and maximize the potential of every student by aligning instructional methods with their individual needs, readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles. Within this framework, Cultural Responsive Teaching (CRT) emerges as a valuable approach, enabling educators to create inclusive and culturally relevant learning experiences that resonate with diverse student backgrounds. This study investigates the implementation of CRT in supporting differentiated learning strategies in English language education. Utilizing a pre-experimental design, the research was conducted at MAS Darul Qalam Bulukumba. Data collection methods included administering questionnaires to assess student interest and conducting pre- and post-tests to measure learning outcomes. The findings reveal a significant positive improvement in students' interest in learning English after the introduction of CRT, compared to their interest levels prior to its implementation. Additionally, the analysis of test results indicates a notable increase in students' academic performance, demonstrating the effectiveness of CRT in fostering both engagement and achievement. These results highlight the potential of CRT as a transformative tool in enhancing English language learning in the context of the independent curriculum.

Abstract

The implementation of e-portfolios in education has gained widespread recognition for its potential as both an assessment and learning tool. This study examines challenges faced by students in creating e-portfolios during public speaking classes and strategies to overcome them. Conducted among fifth-semester English Education students at a university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, this qualitative research employed observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation for data collection. Findings reveal obstacles such as confusion with e-portfolio structure, limited digital skills, unreliable internet, and time management struggles. Students also faced issues with creativity, motivation, and balancing workloads. To address these challenges, students employed collaborative learning by consulting peers and lecturers, and self-directed learning through online tutorials. Time management strategies like task segmentation and avoiding procrastination helped them stay on track. They utilized concept maps for organization, identified reliable internet hotspots, and relied on peer feedback for mutual support and revisions. Focus on self-responsibility and goal setting further enhanced their motivation. The study concludes that despite its challenges, e-portfolio development fosters critical skills like independence, creativity, and time management. Institutional support through workshops and improved digital infrastructure plays a crucial role in enabling student success. Educators can systematically address barriers to optimize e-portfolio use as a powerful tool for academic and professional growth.

It is quite effective to develop it as an assessment tool in the learning process, especially in online learning. Nevertheless, it required a stable connection and google account. It is incapable of detecting fraud, requires additional security, and it cannot be adapted to the bold, italic and underlined word functionalities. However, teachers have their own ways of solving the problem.
