Abstract

Assessment cannot be separated from the teaching and learning process. An English teacher must carry out the teaching and learning process and class assessment. However, not all English teachers really understand and have a good perception of English language assessment and apply English language assessment correctly to measure students' English abilities based on indicators that students must master. This research aims to determine: English teachers' perceptions of English language assessment; carrying out English language assessments; and the correspondence between their perceptions and the implementation of the English language assessment. This research uses a qualitative case study involving 20 English teachers. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires, observation and document analysis. Data validity was carried out using triangulation of techniques and sources. Data analysis was carried out using an interactive analysis model which includes data condensation, data presentation, drawing conclusions and verification. The research results show that: most English teachers have good and positive perceptions of English language assessment; most English teachers implement English language assessments; and there is a match between their perceptions and the application of English language assessment in the teaching and learning process. Implications of this research shows that it is important to align English language assessment policies with the realities of practice on the ground.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the cognitive levels present in “Bahasa Inggris Work in Progress Buku Siswa Untuk SMA/SMK/MA Kelas 10.” It evaluates how they might influence the development of students' thinking skills. The study employed qualitative content analysis, using an analytical framework adapted from the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy to analyze 35 WH-questions from six selected chapters. This research primarily employed WH-questions as the primary data source, as they are highly valuable for promoting students' literal comprehension skills, rearranging text information, and developing evaluations, personal responses, and predictions. This research found that higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) were more dominant than lower-order thinking skills (LOTS) in the WH-questions. Furthermore, not all six levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy were represented. The cognitive level “Understand” becomes the most dominant in the textbook, followed by “Evaluate,” “Analyze,” and “Remember,” which are the least dominant cognitive levels found in the data. Conversely, the cognitive levels “Apply” and “Create” were not found in the examined data. These results suggest that while the textbook effectively promotes certain aspects of higher-order thinking, it lacks diversity in cognitive challenges. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to supplement the textbook with additional tasks that foster real-world application and creativity. Textbook designers should also integrate a broader range of cognitive levels to provide more comprehensive and balanced learning experiences aligned with the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

Language teachers were bound to perform many kinds of different emotions, known as emotional labor (EL), throughout their teaching experiences. However, despite the growing interest in recent years, the primary teachers’ emotions have been persistently ignored. This study thus aims to explore the emotional experiences of primary school English teachers in Indonesia on how those processes contribute to their professional identity. Employing a case study design, it seeks to deepen the understanding of teacher emotions by aligning data from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews (n=3) with the emerging theory of Emotional Labor Process (Hochschild, 2012). The findings reveal the dual impact of emotional labor (EL) on teachers' professional identity. Deep acting positively influences commitment by helping teachers align their emotional expressions with their professional values. This alignment strengthens their dedication and engagement in teaching. Conversely, if teachers experience significant stress and struggle their commitment may decrease. Surface acting, which involves faking or suppressing emotions, affects teachers' ability to manage stress effectively. Their ability in managing emotional labor impact their instructional beliefs and self-efficacy that undermining their confidence and teaching quality. This study highlights the need for emotional management training in teacher development programs to strengthen their capacity to navigate EL and maintain their professional identity. Furthermore, creating a supportive work environment is essential for sustaining teachers’ well-being and professional growth.

Abstract

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping education, yet its role in lesson planning warrants further exploration. This study examines how Indonesian high school English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers integrate MagicSchool AI, a generative AI tool, into lesson planning, revealing opportunities and challenges. Data from 38 teachers, collected through post-workshops open-ended questionnaires, and focus group interviews, highlight AI's dual potential: while it accelerates lesson planning, supports differentiated instruction, and fosters creativity, it also necessitates critical teacher oversight, effective prompt-engineering skills, and significant adaptation to align with classroom dynamics. Teachers emphasized AI’s value in reducing workloads and generating diverse instructional ideas but noted that its outputs often lack readiness for immediate use, requiring refinement to ensure pedagogical soundness. These findings underscore the importance of targeted training and professional development to equip teachers with the skills to navigate AI tools effectively. This study emphasizes the critical balance between human expertise and technological efficiency by framing AI as a collaborative ally rather than a replacement for educators. It contributes to the growing discourse on AI in education, offering insights into optimizing human-AI collaboration for innovative, contextually relevant, and impactful teaching practices. This research invites educators and policymakers to envision AI as a transformative force, capable of bridging innovation with pedagogical integrity to shape the future of education.
