Abstract

Standardized English tests have long been used to determine English learner’s level of proficiency. Tests such as TOEFL (Test of English as a foreign language) and IELTS (International English language testing system) are arguably the most popular English tests in the world. On the other hand, English learners are consistently being assessed by their teachers through a performance-based assessment which provides a comprehensive description of student’s learning achievement in learning English. The results of these two forms of assessments were hardly compared and correlated. Therefore, this paper investigates the correlation between student’s TOEFL score and teacher score. Moreover, this study explores how teacher uses washback effects of TOEFL and class tests. Investigating 42 grade 12 students in an English immersion school in Indonesia, the result of this study indicated a positive but weak correlation between TOEFL and teacher’s assessment scores (r = 0.246, p = 0.116). This weak correlation indicates that the two types of assessments measure student’s achievement and performance differently. The washback effect of TOEFL is mainly in the form of teacher’s encouragement to the students to be more serious when taking TOEFL test so that they will be about to get higher scores.

Abstract

English-medium instruction (EMI) continues to expand globally, yet multilingual classrooms remain linguistically complex, as students and lecturers navigate layered communicative challenges. While EMI research has advanced in general education settings, empirical studies grounded in healthcare-specific, discipline-oriented classrooms, particularly in non-English-dominant regions, remain limited. Addressing this gap, this study examines how multimodal resources including gestures, vocalizations, gaze, body movement, and first-language (L1) use are mobilized in EMI nursing classrooms at a university in Indonesia. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and ten hours of recorded classroom discourse, the study reveals how meaning is collaboratively constructed through multimodal ensembles that also shape power relations and pedagogical agency. A unique contribution of this research is the culturally embedded concept of Gado-Gado English, a metaphor for the dynamic blend of linguistic and semiotic resources used by teachers and students to cope with EMI challenges. Findings show that multimodal strategies foster inclusive participation, emotional engagement, and active knowledge construction in clinical learning contexts. By capturing naturalistic interaction in an underexplored EMI healthcare setting, this study offers both theoretical and practical insights into discipline-specific EMI pedagogy. Implications are drawn for EMI policy, curriculum design, and professional development, especially regarding the integration of multimodal resources as legitimate and empowering pedagogical tools.

Abstract

This study examines the experiences of ELL students regarding their teaching practice and their development of pedagogical competence despite insufficient training.  Conducted as qualitative research, this study gathered data from 36 ELL students via reflective essays, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations, which were subsequently analyzed thematically.  The results show five main themes: student engagement, classroom management, adaptability, teaching anxiety, and peer support.  These themes reflect challenges encountered by education majors; however, the analysis indicates that ELL students experience them in unique ways due to their disciplinary background.  Specifically, they relied heavily on peer support as an informal community of practice, negotiated teaching anxiety linked to their perceived lack of legitimacy, and shifted from linguistic to pedagogical and finally to adaptive competence during TP.  This study makes a theoretical contribution by introducing the ELL TP Experience Framework, which conceptualizes transformative pedagogy as a process through which students transition from linguistic competence to pedagogical and adaptive competence while negotiating their teacher identity.

Abstract

The phenomenon of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) has spread across the globe with the promise of equipping students with high English proficiency levels. While a plethora of research has been done to explore students’ and teachers’ readiness for EMI, very few have dealt with the reverse phenomenon, EMI graduates transferring from English to first-language (L1) medium instruction. Therefore, conducted as a case study of six EMI graduates, this research project seeks to understand how the participant adapted to L1 instruction at higher education. The data was collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal seven themes in the participants’ experiences namely, developing critical thinking skills, reading skills and the love of literature, language flexibility, challenges in transitioning to L1 instructions, essay writing challenges, challenges in socializing, and mentoring and tutoring as a learning strategy. The study concludes that the participants had a positive experience transitioning from EMI to L1 instruction. They also value English as their linguistic capital and employ various strategies to make the transitioning process go smoothly. This study helps EMI teachers, parents, and policymaker to mitigate the transition process for students who are moving from one language of instruction to another. Such mitigation is necessary to reduce anxiety and improve student’s readiness to study in the new linguistic environment.
