Abstract

In English language teaching, integrating local wisdom into reading materials is frequently overlooked, leading to a disconnect between students and their cultural heritage. This gap often results from the reliance on external textbooks that do not reflect local culture, which can alienate students from their cultural identity and reduce their motivation to engage with reading materials. The research aims to describe the use of local wisdom-based instructional materials in English language teaching. Research focuses on junior high schools in Timor Tengah Selatan, emphasizing local cultural elements like historical sites, legends, and symbols. The data can be obtained through observation on the application of local wisdom-based instructional materials in English language teaching, analysis of lesson plan documents, using interviews, and a series of questionnaires. The interview is addressed to the teachers and students, while the questionnaire is addressed to the students, and the next is distributed to the teachers. The interview used to know how teachers apply local wisdom-based instructional material used in English language teaching. The researcher used questionnaire to find out the students’ and teachers’ responses on the use of local wisdom-based instructional materials in English language teaching. The researcher interviewed three teachers who have appropriate educational qualifications, more than 5 years of experience teaching English, and three students who get high level achievement, medium, and low achievement. The researcher adopted interview guidelines through a semi structured technique. Then the researcher distributed the questionnaires to know the students’ responses on the use of local wisdom-based instructional materials in English language teaching, and the teachers’ responses on the use of local wisdom-based instructional materials in English language teaching. This study included 60 students and 10 teachers engaged in activities featuring local cultural elements. Descriptive qualitative analyses were used to interpret the data, with responses categorized using Likert scale categories measure how strongly respondents agree or disagree with a statement. Local wisdom-based instructional materials in English language teaching incorporate regional cultural and contextual knowledge into the learning process. This approach makes learning more relevant and engaging for students, while also deepening their appreciation of their cultural heritage. Students generally respond favorably to these materials, finding them relevant, engaging, and culturally enriching. Teachers value the use of local wisdom-based materials because they connect students with their culture and enhance their English skills. This method also supports cultural preservation and makes learning more meaningful. The study recommends that English curricula include local folklore, myths, legends, and historical narratives. Texts, audio-visual aids, and interactive projects can strengthen students' cultural connections and improve their language acquisition

Abstract

Promoting self-determination was identified as facilitating access to effective learning in higher education contexts. However, amidst the competitive educational climate and various contemporary educational issues, there remained a gap in understanding the factors influencing its implementation. This study explored the factors that reflected students' self-determination for effective learning. This quantitative study involved two hundred and eighty-five participants from private universities. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing twenty-three statement items to measure students' determination in their learning, and then the data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The study revealed six factors of student determination for effective learning. They were learning control and flexibility, learning strategy development, academic ability and engagement, academic progress and evaluation management, perception of the academic environment, and collaboration and social engagement. These factors need to be considered in developing strategies and educational interventions that are truly efficient, as in a teaching scenario, to facilitate students' self-determination performance and promote academic success and student well-being.

Abstract

Writing is a process-oriented language skill requiring students to construct and develop ideas and thoughts in written form. This study was designed to investigate whether there is an effect of PLEASE strategy on students’ writing skills and motivation to recount texts among 11th-grade students.  This study employed a quasi-experimental design on both experimental and control classes. The data were collected through writing tests to measure writing skills and a writing motivation questionnaire to analyze writing motivation. The data were analyzed statistically using a t-test after complying with Normality and Homogeneity test. The results revealed that PLEASE strategy affected student’s writing skills and motivation to recount texts compared to teacher-centered strategy. PLEASE strategy promoted a metacognitive skill within the writing process on recount texts. This was favorable to assist the students in planning, monitoring, and evaluating writing through the steps of Pick, List, Evaluate, Activate, Supply, and End, and motivate the students to write extrinsically and intrinsically. This study recommended broader implementation of PLEASE strategy to teach the writing process across other text genres in all stages of education.

Abstract

The central concern in educational research was determining which model of a teacher's multiple roles was preferable. In the general debate on this issue, precise positions were frequently adopted. The research examined this central question and the various stances taken within the field of education. Furthermore, the study aimed to develop the design-based classroom action research as an educational research method design. Researchers synthesized qualitative research to interpret the multiple roles of teachers, which were strongly linked to their professionalism through the development of DCAR. This qualitative study gathered data through (1) focus group discussions (FGD) and (2) expert judgment. The application of the ADDIE development model—comprising analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation—was initiated, but the process ended during the development phase with the inclusion of an expert design evaluation. The findings from the needs analysis indicated that teacher professional development programs should focus on (1) enhancing teaching skills and knowledge, (2) improving the teacher's ability as a course designer, and (3) nurturing research skills. In response, researchers introduced DCAR as a research method design that combined the roles of course designer and classroom action researcher. Additionally, expert judgment recommended DCAR as an alternative research method design suitable for educational research. These findings highlighted the expansion of the teacher professional development model as a tool for creating a comprehensive profile of a professional teacher.

Abstract

Authentic learning materials (ALM) are recognized for providing meaningful and engaging educational experiences. However, there is a lack of extensive research examining the relationship between authentic learning materials, students’ intrinsic motivation, and their listening skills. This study addresses this gap by employing a quantitative method through the distribution of a 35-item Likert scale questionnaire to junior high school students in Batam. The questionnaire aimed to assess students’ attitudes and perceptions regarding the use of authentic materials in their English classes. The results from 30 students indicated that authentic learning materials positively influence student engagement, intrinsic motivation, and cultural awareness. These materials were found to enhance students' interest and participation in learning activities by making the content more relatable and applicable to real-life situations. The study also highlighted some challenges, such as difficulties in comprehension and issues with classroom dynamics, which could impact the overall effectiveness of these materials. Despite these challenges, the data suggest that authentic learning materials effectively bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world language use. This connection fosters a sense of achievement and satisfaction among students, as they can see the practical application of their language skills. Thus, incorporating authentic materials into the curriculum can provide significant benefits, enhancing the overall learning experience and motivation of students in the English classroom.
