Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of metacognitive strategies in enhancing students' reading skills. The sample consisted of 50 Islamic Economics majors selected through random cluster sampling from 100 undergraduate EFL majors studying at different universities in East Java. The participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (N=50) or the control group. Five main instruments were used in the study: the Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS), Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), semi-structured interviews, a background questionnaire, and a reading comprehension test. The experimental group did much better on the posttest for reading comprehension (M=31.96, SD=10.56) than the students in the control groups. The results of this study are important for students, teachers, and people who make tools for teaching English as a second language.

Abstract

This research aims to explore deconstructive reading on traditional narratives in coursebook and how the EFL pre-service teachers’ insights on it. This research imposes its theoretical framework in the concepts of Deconstruction, EFL Pre-service Teachers, Literature, Traditional Narrative Text, and Coursebook. The type of this research is qualitative, the approach is case study. The data in this research are text fragmentations from the narrative texts and the statements of the EFL students. The first source of the data is the narrative texts in the coursebook. The second source of the data is interview with some EFL pre-service teachers from various university in Surabaya. The techniques of data collection in this research are documentation and non-structured interview. The technique of data analysis in this research is thematic analysis. The result of the analysis is narrative texts provided by Kemendikbud in English coursebook seem to be conventional and it requires EFL teachers with good sense of literature to help out students to make the meaning relevant with the life they live today. Some interviewed EFL pre-service teachers put some insights that meaning in the traditional narrative texts in the English coursebook. For them, traditional narrative is important, but the interpretative meaning should be deconstructed in more various meaning, not in one-sided claim which one is true and false.

Abstract

This research aims to determine students' perceptions and challenges faced using AI due to the gaps faced by EFL students. This research uses a qualitative method which uses two data collection techniques, namely observation as supporting data and interviews with 6 students from different classes as main data. To analyze the data, researchers used thematic analysis and then used content validity to support the research. The results of this research show that the majority of students agree that the use of AI in EFL classes is very helpful in the independent learning process and improves speaking, reading, writing, and giving ideas. So the researchers concluded that based on students' perceptions, these perceptions had a positive impact on the use of AI in EFL classes. Researchers hope that students and lecturers can use AI according to the role of AI. Researchers also hope that this research can become a reference for readers.

Abstract

The study investigated the influence of the Spotify application on the vocabulary achievement of eleventh-grade students. The research identified the need for engaging methods to enhance vocabulary learning, as non-technology media approaches often failed to captivate students. Spotify’s audio media features, such as songs and lyrics, offered contextual and interactive learning opportunities. Previous studies and the theoretical framework suggested that digital platforms like Spotify could significantly influence students’ vocabulary acquisition by presenting language in dynamic and authentic contexts. This study took a quantitative approach, using a pretest and posttest experimental research design that involved 80 students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used Spotify for vocabulary exercises, including listening to curated songs, analyzing lyrics, and completing interactive tasks, while the control group received conventional lessons. Data analysis through IBM SPSS 19 assessed vocabulary improvements between the two groups, highlighting Spotify’s pedagogical advantages in creating engaging and effective language-learning environments. The results confirmed the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ), indicating that Spotify enhanced vocabulary achievement. The null hypothesis (H₀), which assumed no significant difference, was rejected. The results confirmed that Spotify enhanced vocabulary achievement. This suggested that integrating Spotify into language instruction not only influenced vocabulary retention but also fostered motivation and engagement among students, marking it as an effective educational tool.

Abstract

This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the interaction between children and adults when learning a second or foreign language, to offer a more coherent and academic response to the question of whether children outperform adults in second language acquisition. The process of learning a second language can occur naturally, in formal instructional settings, or through social interactions. Several internal factors, such as the role of the first language, student motivation, and attitudes, play a crucial role in determining the proficiency level of second language learners. The findings of this study lend support to the notion that the aging process is correlated with a decline in the ability of pupils to recall language information. However, it is important to emphasize that successful second language acquisition is not solely determined by age, but rather hinges on the individual's intrinsic motivation to engage in meaningful communication and interaction with others through the medium of a second or foreign language.

Abstract

This study explores the preferences of Generation Z for English learning media and the factors influencing these preferences. Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, demonstrates a strong inclination toward modern digital platforms such as social media, video streaming services, and learning apps like Duolingo, which offer flexibility, interactivity, and visually appealing content. The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative surveys of 77 respondents aged 15–25 years and qualitative interviews with four participants. Key findings reveal that ease of access, visual appeal, and relevance to personal interests significantly influence Gen Z’s media choices. Challenges include distractions, short attention spans, and a lack of motivation in self-directed learning. The findings highlight the importance of designing media that aligns with Gen Z’s learning styles, incorporating interactive and gamified elements to enhance engagement and learning outcomes. This research provides valuable insights for educators and developers to optimize digital media for effective English learning

Abstract

  This research aims to design digital gamification literacy for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers, particularly in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia. In the current digital era, gamification has emerged as an innovative approach to enhance student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. However, many teachers still face obstacles in adopting this strategy, such as a lack of understanding, training, and limited access to technology. This study employs an explanatory mixed-method approach, involving 20 lecturers from the English Education study program in a quantitative survey and 3 of them in qualitative interviews. The research results show that although the majority of respondents are accustomed to using digital technology, only a small fraction actively apply gamification in their teaching. The main obstacles identified include time constraints, lack of training, and gaps in technology access. On the other hand, the participants showed a high interest in gamification training and recognized its positive potential in enhancing student-centered learning. This study recommends the development of practice communities, experiential training, and the provision of structured digital resources as strategic steps to strengthen digital gamification literacy among EFL teachers.

Abstract

In the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), teaching style is a crucial factor influencing students' motivation and engagement. However, because there are more separate studies than comprehensive syntheses, there remains a deficiency in the overall synthesis of what is commonly utilized and, from the perspective of learners, the most effective in teaching. This systematic review seeks to determine prevalent teaching styles in EFL classrooms and their perceived effects on students' engagement and motivation. Employing the SALSA framework—Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis—30 peer-reviewed empirical studies from 2014 to 2024 were analyzed. Studies were chosen based on stringent inclusion criteria, including EFL/ELT environments and empirical data on teaching approaches linked to student results. Findings indicate that student-centered approaches, especially the Facilitator and Delegator styles, consistently correlate with enhanced learner autonomy, emotional backing, and active engagement. Traditional approaches like Expert and Formal Authority styles, although still in use, are shown to hinder intrinsic motivation when they are overly dominant. Moreover, contextual elements like culture, type of institution, and mode of learning (for instance, in-person or online) greatly influence the success of teaching methods. Although they are valuable, the majority of research depends on limited, perception-driven data with a narrow geographic focus and insufficient attention to young learners or informal education. Future studies must tackle these constraints using longitudinal and experimental methodologies. The review underscores the critical significance of culturally relevant and adaptive teaching methods in enhancing EFL learning results.
