Abstract

Metadiscourse, or language that is used to reflect on or comment on the content of a message, plays a critical role in the development of student comprehension and learning in the English language classroom. This paper investigates the ways in which English language teachers use metadiscourse to scaffold learning and support student comprehension. The paper employs a qualitative analysis of lesson transcripts, interviews with teachers, and observations of classroom interactions to identify the types of metadiscourse that are used and the ways in which they are used to guide student learning. The results of the paper highlight the importance of metadiscourse in pedagogical discourse, and provide insights into the ways in which teachers can effectively use metadiscourse to support student learning in the English language classroom.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges and strategies employed by English teachers in rural junior high schools in Tanjung Jabung Timur, Indonesia, particularly in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum. As English becomes increasingly important as a global lingua franca, its role as a foreign language (EFL) in Indonesia's education system is crucial. The research utilized a qualitative, phenomenological design, focusing on three schools: SMPN 9 Tanjung Jabung Timur, SMPN 2 Tanjung Jabung Timur, and MTsN 02 Tanjung Jabung Timur. Researchers collected data through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with English teachers, ensuring data reliability using trustworthiness techniques. Researchers used the Miles and Huberman approach for data analysis, uncovering patterns and strategies employed by teachers in rural settings. Professional development remains a significant challenge, with formal training opportunities being scarce. Teachers often use self-directed learning, informal networks, and online resources to meet professional demands. The study calls for more targeted interventions to support rural teachers, foster greater parental involvement, and improve educational infrastructure. Recommendations emphasize reducing disparities between rural and urban education to create a more inclusive and equitable system in Indonesia
