Abstract

This study investigated the perspectives of non-English major students at an Islamic institution of higher education in Indonesia regarding the attributes of effective English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers. The study aimed to identify key factors students consider important in learning English and to explore teaching strategies that enhance learning effectiveness. A quantitative survey method was employed, involving 300 students from various non-English majors. Data were analyzed using ANOVA to examine differences among groups, followed by post-hoc Tukey tests to identify specific group differences. The results indicated that students rated communication skills (M = 4.52, SD = 0.61) and teaching methods (M = 4.47, SD = 0.65) as the most important attributes of effective EFL lecturers. These were followed by lecturer credibility (M = 4.32, SD = 0.68) and knowledge of English (M = 4.29, SD = 0.70). Additional influential factors included the quality of interpersonal relationships between lecturers and students, fairness in assessment, and organization and preparation in teaching. Furthermore, the study found that the strategic use of the mother tongue (L1) in instruction increased students' confidence in using English. The implications of this study underscore the importance of flexible teaching approaches that accommodate diverse learning styles. The use of interactive methods, educational technology, and clear material delivery can significantly enhance the effectiveness of English language teaching in higher education settings.

Abstract

Academic writing is a crucial component of university education, yet it remains one of the most challenging skills for EFL students. This study investigates the perceptions of English Department students at IAIN Kerinci regarding the challenges they face in academic writing. Using a mixed-method approach, the research involved four undergraduate students who had completed academic writing courses in previous semesters. Data were collected through writing performance tests and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative findings indicate that students performed well in content (average score: 7.5) but struggled significantly with writing coherence (4.5). Vocabulary and grammar showed standard capability (6.875 and 6.25). The qualitative results revealed deeper challenges, including difficulties in constructing coherent paragraphs, selecting appropriate vocabulary, applying complex grammar structures, and managing writing anxiety. Contributing factors included lack of motivation, limited reading habits, and insufficient exposure to academic texts. Furthermore, students emphasized the importance of feedback from lecturers and self-reflection as key strategies for development. The findings suggest that while students may be confident in generating ideas, they require more support in expressing those ideas effectively through structured, cohesive academic writing. This study contributes to the field by highlighting the need for integrating linguistic, motivational, and strategic instruction in EFL academic writing contexts.
