Abstract

This study examines English Guru Penggerak teachers' perceptions of Deep Learning through the Mindful, Meaningful, and Joyful (MMJ) framework in junior high school English classrooms in North Gorontalo Regency. In this study, Deep Learning refers to a pedagogical policy within the Indonesian education system rather than artificial intelligence or machine learning. The study addresses two research questions: how teachers perceive Deep Learning through the MMJ principles and how they describe their readiness to implement them. A descriptive qualitative design was employed involving eight English Guru Penggerak teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and supported by document analysis of teaching modules, worksheets, and assessment instruments. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, including coding, cross-participant comparison, and document triangulation. The findings indicate that teachers generally perceived MMJ positively and considered it relevant to English language learning. They associated the framework with a safer classroom climate, greater student participation, stronger motivation, and more meaningful learning experiences. However, teachers demonstrated varying levels of conceptual understanding, with some still developing their understanding of MMJ while others articulated its principles more comprehensively. Teachers also showed uneven readiness to implement the framework. Pedagogical readiness was reflected in contextual learning tasks, reflective practices, and interactive classroom activities, whereas assessment readiness remained the weakest dimension. In addition, leadership support, professional learning communities, academic supervision, infrastructure, workload, and time allocation influenced implementation. The study concludes that MMJ implementation remains vulnerable to “joyful but shallow” enactment when enjoyable learning activities are not supported by purposeful awareness, meaningful learning, reflection, feedback, and evidence of student learning progress.

Abstract

Writing anxiety remains a persistent challenge for EFL university students, shaping their cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement with academic writing. While digital and AI-assisted tools are increasingly used to support writing development, little is known about how learners with different personality traits particularly extroverts and introverts employ technology to manage writing-related anxiety. This article reports the qualitative component of an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study that examined levels, types, causes, and coping strategies of English writing anxiety among Indonesian EFL undergraduates. Building on quantitative findings derived from the EPQ, SLWAI, and CWAI, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 purposefully selected students (10 extroverts; 10 introverts) to explore their technology-mediated coping strategies. Thematic analysis revealed clear personality-based distinctions. Extrovert students relied on stimulation-rich, interactive, and feedback-oriented technologies including YouTube tutorials, social media videos, writing applications, and AI tools to boost motivation, model writing processes, and reduce fear of errors. Technology served as an external scaffold that energized their writing engagement. In contrast, introvert students preferred quiet, private, and self-paced digital environments. They used calming media, reference-based tutorials, translation tools, vocabulary apps, and AI feedback to regulate emotions, clarify ideas, and resolve linguistic uncertainties in low-pressure settings. Technology functioned as an internal regulator that supported cognitive clarity and emotional steadiness. These findings underscore that technology-mediated coping is personality-sensitive, highlighting the need for flexible, personalized digital interventions to support diverse emotional and cognitive needs in EFL writing contexts.

Abstract

This research explores innovative strategies to improve students' vocabulary mastery in English language teaching. Utilizing cognitive skill-based approaches, such as the "working with words" strategy, the study aims to create an effective and engaging learning environment. The research employs various methods, including observations, document analysis, recordings, and treatment procedures. Initial observations indicate that students possess a reasonable level of cognitive skills, providing a foundation for vocabulary acquisition. However, subsequent assessments reveal a decline in vocabulary proficiency, prompting the need for intervention. To address this issue, cognitive skill-based strategies, such as the "category game" and "contextual reading clues," are applied in the teaching process. These strategies aim to tap into students' intellectual capacities, motivating independent learning. Post-treatment results show significant improvement, with the contextual reading clues strategy leading to a remarkable 91.30% increase in vocabulary proficiency. In conclusion, cognitive skill-based strategies have a substantial impact on students' cognitive behaviors and vocabulary acquisition. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating vocabulary learning with reading exercises, continuous assessment, and progress recording. It underscores the significance of vocabulary mastery for language proficiency and calls for the integration of such strategies into language teaching practices.

Abstract

Improving education quality for the 21st century necessitates a strong focus on English Reading Comprehension for Academic Purposes (REAP), particularly in higher education. This competency is essential for enabling students to engage with global information and meet the demands of a competitive, interconnected world. Therefore, enhancing reading comprehension in English is vital, especially by employing a strategy that is innovative, creative, and effective. The Case Method Strategy, rooted in Problem-Based Learning (PBL), is identified as one of the most effective approaches to elevate REAP competencies. This strategy fosters creative thinking, inquiry-based learning, and problem-solving skills, allowing students to analyze academic texts critically. Within the REAP course framework, which aligns with Outcome-Based Education (OBE), the objective is for students to develop metacognitive abilities to interpret complex academic texts at an advanced level. To support the Case Method Strategy, complementary techniques, such as Inquiry Method and Discovery Learning, can be integrated into REAP learning. This study aims to present a comprehensive model for implementing the Case Method Strategy to improve REAP outcomes. Ultimately, the findings contribute valuable insights to English Language Teaching (ELT) by offering an effective, alternative teaching technique that enhances applied linguistics and reading comprehension in university-level education.

Abstract

Background:  Vocational students often struggle to understand English texts that are complex and not related to their daily lives. In Eastern Indonesia, the lack of culturally relevant materials can reduce engagement and comprehension. Integrating local wisdom into reading materials can bridge this gap by connecting learning with students’ experiences, supported by schema theory and culturally responsive pedagogy. Aims: This study aimed to identify vocational students’ needs for English reading materials incorporating local wisdom in Banggai Laut, Central Sulawesi, and to examine how cultural elements relate to students’ reading challenges, learning needs, and preferences. Methods: This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a descriptive survey design within a needs analysis framework. The analysis of target needs (lacks, needs, and wants) was informed by Hutchinson and Waters, while learning needs (input, procedures, teacher roles, learner roles, and settings) were based on Nunan. Twenty students from SMK Al-Hajar and SMK Negeri 2 Banggai participated during the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through a 33-item Likert-scale online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using mean scores and percentages to identify dominant response patterns. Results: The findings revealed that students experienced difficulties with complex sentence structures, technical vocabulary, and factual texts lacking cultural relevance. They reported strong needs for vocabulary support, culturally familiar topics, visual aids, and teacher guidance. Students preferred reading materials related to local folktales, coastal life, traditions, and regional history, and favored activities such as independent reading, small-group discussion, summarizing, highlighting keywords, and strategy modeling. Implications: Mapping students’ target and learning needs prior to material development is essential for vocational contexts. Incorporating local wisdom can support more engaging, comprehensible, and contextually relevant English learning aligned with students’ cultural backgrounds.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify and thoroughly analyze the specific reading comprehension problems faced by tenth-grade vocational students at SMK Negeri 1 Gorontalo within the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka. The research employed a descriptive qualitative methodology utilizing the interactive data analysis model framework. The participants consisted of 21 tenth-grade vocational students (Batch 2023). Data were collected using a 42-item Likert-scale diagnostic questionnaire administered via Google Forms, complemented by semi-structured interviews with 10 selected key respondents. The theoretical foundation was grounded in Duke and Cartwright's Active View of Reading model. The findings revealed a severe "linguistic bottleneck" where 85.7% of students struggled significantly with unfamiliar vocabulary, forcing 90.4% to rely heavily on mechanical word-for-word translation. Furthermore, 71.4% experienced cognitive overload when encountering complex sentence structures and multi-clause syntactic patterns. Externally, an instructional gap was prominent, with 76.1% of students highlighting a critical deficiency in visual or multimodal learning media in the classroom. Conversely, cultural schema activation acted as a major catalyst; 80.9% exhibited high motivation when reading local folklore. The study concludes that vocational reading failure is primarily driven by linguistic barriers and instructional limitations rather than motivational apathy, emphasizing an urgent need for multimodal scaffolding in vocational EFL contexts.

Abstract

Kosakata merupakan komponen dasar dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di sekolah dasar, namun penguasaannya masih sering terkendala oleh metode pembelajaran yang kurang variatif dan tidak sesuai dengan karakteristik belajar anak usia dini. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan kosakata bahasa Inggris dasar kepada siswa kelas 3 sekolah dasar melalui pendekatan pembelajaran kreatif berbasis art & craft. Metode pengabdian dilakukan dengan pendekatan learning by doing melalui kegiatan tematik seperti coloring craft, paper folding, dan vocabulary tree yang diintegrasikan dengan latihan listen and repeat. Kegiatan dilaksanakan secara langsung di kelas dengan pendampingan tim pengabdian dan guru kelas. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa siswa terlibat aktif dalam pembelajaran, mampu mengikuti instruksi, serta menunjukkan peningkatan keberanian dalam menyebutkan dan melafalkan kosakata bahasa Inggris. Selain memberikan pengalaman belajar yang menyenangkan dan kontekstual bagi siswa, kegiatan ini juga memberikan manfaat bagi guru melalui pembelajaran kreatif yang aplikatif serta bagi mahasiswa melalui penguatan keterampilan mengajar bahasa Inggris untuk anak usia dini. Pendekatan berbasis art & craft dinilai relevan sebagai alternatif pembelajaran kosakata yang efektif dan berkelanjutan di sekolah dasar.
