Abstract

In today's globalized world, the ability to communicate effectively in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and critical thinking are indispensable skills for Indonesian students. However, traditional EFL curricula in Indonesia often prioritize linguistic competence and neglect critical thinking skills. This study explores the perspectives of EFL teachers in Bengkulu regarding their students' critical thinking skills and their views on integrating critical thinking instruction into the EFL curriculum. Using two adapted questionnaires, data was collected from 23 teachers in various educational institutions in Bengkulu. The results showed that although students demonstrated basic critical thinking concepts, they struggled with higher-order skills such as evaluating evidence objectively and anticipating consequences. Most teachers (91.3%) believe that teaching critical thinking is part of their job, and 65.2% support its incorporation into the EFL curriculum. However, 65.2% felt that they needed more training, and 34.8% were unsure about what critical thinking entailed. These findings underscore the need for a comprehensive curriculum overhaul in which critical thinking is woven throughout the language domain, supported by extensive teacher training, localized learning materials, and innovative assessments. By undertaking such reforms, Indonesia can nurture a generation of globally competent communicators capable of navigating the complexities of the 21st century.

Abstract

The Subject of this study is the difficulties confronted by the Indonesian foreign language learners (BIPA) that taught by postgraduate English Education students at University of Bengkulu. Data collection involves a total of 20 participants aged from 19 to 63 years who attended six to seven online sessions conducted by postgraduate students in their third semester, with a quantitative research method. Participants were assessed for their experience and hardships via a questionnaire regarding how they were challenged by the learning setting out alongside pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, cultural barriers, and lack of time practicing. It came out that out of the challenges the students encountered vocabulary and averages were the most fundamental problems together with pronunciation, grammar, cultural differences, and insufficient time to practice speaking. This is consistent with the literature on the subject of cultural and psychological variables working in combination with linguistic factors learning in a virtual environment. The conclusion reached in the study is that to deal with the above problems better teaching strategies such as the use of technology, culture, and practice are needed.
