Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop English learning materials for MA Ali Maksum's Conversational Program. Because the presence of English materials in speaking classes is critical, material development may aid students in learning. Materials that help students improve their skills and motivate them are those that are personalised to the student's situation and background. This research and development (R&D) study employs the ADDIE instructional design model. This research consists of needs analysis, syllabus design, English speaking material development, product validation, product testing, and final product. Interviewees include experienced English teachers, an expert in English materials design, and 10th grade students from MA Ali Maksum's Conversation Program. Student questionnaires, student and teacher interview guides, and validation sheets for expert judgment are among the data collection tools used. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The result showed that the average interval for the English module was 2.26 x 3.24, and material expert validation ranged from 2.80 to 3.40, classifying this module as good and valid with several revisions. Therefore, this English module can be used to motivate students while also assisting them in learning English in a speaking or conversation context.

The Cambridge Curriculum, which is typically implemented in international standard schools, is the primary focus of this investigation. Nevertheless, Assalafiyah Islamic Junior High School, a boarding school, has incorporated the Cambridge Curriculum into its educational program. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the implementation of the Cambridge Curriculum on Students' English Academic achievement in VIII Graders of Assalafiyah Islamic Junior High School Mlangi Yogyakarta. The academic performance of eighth-grade students was compared under two distinct curricula: the 2013 Curriculum and the Cambridge Curriculum, using a mixed-methods approach. The grades of 89 students in three classes (A, B, and C) were analyzed to collect quantitative data under both curricula. Further, interviews were conducted with 12 participants from the Islamic Junior High School in Mlangi, Yogyakarta, including 6 male students, 5 female students, and 1 teacher, for the qualitative analysis. The results of this study indicated that the application of the Cambridge Curriculum on Students' English Academic achievement of VIII graders had a very good impact.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze students' difficulties in learning English using Cambridge Curriculum. Furthermore, the research tried to look for solutions from the obstacles. The research used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The stages of the research included initial research and data collection, transcription of conversations and interview results, conducting data analysis, and the reports. Data collection techniques in this study were observation, interviews, and documentation, with research subjects consisting of 10 students from eight-grade MTs students, one English teacher, and a representative from Assalafiyah Language Center (ALC) who oversaw the implementation of the Cambridge Curriculum at MTs Assalafiyah. To analyze the data, this research used Miles and Huberman’s theory. It consisted of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results showed that there were obstacles experienced by the students related to learn English using Cambridge Curriculum, such as limited mastery of vocabulary, which made it difficult for students to understand the explanations in the book. This was also the cause of students' lack of understanding when the teacher explained the material using full English and due to limited time in the learning process. The alternative solution for students was to start memorizing vocabulary and practice it in everyday life. Thus, teachers were expected to mix English and Indonesian language when explaining the material and add time for lesson hours so that students could learn optimally to maximize the implementation of the Cambridge curriculum in MTs Assalafiyah.

Abstract

Both Indonesia and Estonia have similar contexts of learning English as a foreign language.  The learning achievements reveal a considerable disparity when considering the worldwide assessment of English proficiency, with Indonesia ranking 79th and Estonia securing the 23rd position according to the (EF English Proficiency Index in 2023). This study compares English curricula in Indonesia and Estonia, examining the differences between them despite similar conditions for teaching English as a foreign language. The fundamental goal of the study was to identify the factors that influence diverse learning outcomes in various countries. The study used content analysis to compare curricular papers from both countries on six critical criteria including: (1) stakeholders involved in English curriculum development, (2) stakeholders' reactions to the English curriculum, (3) stated purposes of the curriculum, (4) educational philosophies underlying the English curricula, (5) unstated purposes of the curricula, and (6) influential factors shaping the curricula. The analysis suggested that the key drivers to the discrepancy in learning results in both countries were national policy, pedagogy, and assessment implementations. The results showed that the main result of the mentioned alterations underscored the need for an enhanced approach to the instruction and acquisition of English. Allocating sufficient time for English learning allows students to maximize their opportunities for developing language skills. Moreover, integrating speaking and writing elements into final evaluations and embracing a communicative language strategy can inspire both educators and learners to participate in more genuine learning experiences.

Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic extended serious impact toward educational field in all countries. Most schools conducted teaching and learning activities fully online even hybrid to reach the best interaction and communication. This study aimed to explore and describe the implementation of hybrid communication, the benefits, the evaluation and assessment, and the perceptions of both students and parents in English language teaching for the primary education at Afkaaruna Islamic School (AIS) Sleman Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It was qualitative research with a case study research design. In collecting data, the researchers interviewed the principal, the head of curriculum, three English teachers, three students, and parents. The oservation of class activities, the documentation of teaching, and questionnaires of perceptions were also administered as supporting data. In analyzing the data, the researcher used interactive model by Miles & Huberman including data collection, data reduction, data display and conclusions.  The results showed that teachers used lab-rotation model (50:50) in teaching and learning. Hybrid communication offered contributions toward English language teaching and learning at primary education including students' enhancement and engagement on English skills, technical skills, class management, and digital literacy as well. Also, it facilitated students to access and obtain many online resources and references such as PDF texts, websites, e-books, YouTube videos, and animations. Moreover, it helped the teachers explained materials easily due to various digital tools used in the classroom. This study is expected to serve as a hybrid learning model for educators as an alternative approach when full online is deemed challenging to implement.
