Abstract

This study investigates the attitudes of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pre-service teachers toward the use of the KWL (Know-Want to know-Learned) strategy to enhance reading comprehension skills. The KWL strategy, a three-step framework designed to activate prior knowledge, set learning objectives, and reinforce retention, is commonly used to improve reading comprehension. Through a multi-case study approach, this research gathers data from interviews, classroom observations, and reflective journals to analyze pre-service teachers' perceptions of KWL’s effectiveness in diverse classroom contexts. Findings reveal that pre-service teachers view KWL as a valuable instructional tool that engages students actively and facilitates deeper understanding of texts. However, some challenges in implementation are noted, particularly regarding adapting KWL to varied reading levels and managing class time effectively. This study provides insights into the benefits and limitations of KWL as perceived by pre-service teachers, contributing to the development of effective reading instruction practices in EFL settings.

Abstract

The intrinsic and extrinsic motivational variables that affect students' English language acquisition in the English Literature program at Universitas Kristen Cipta Wacana are examined in this study. The study employs a qualitative case study technique to analyze individual, academic, and social variables that influence students' participation in English education. Semi-structured interviews and focus group conversations with 10 carefully chosen subjects were used to gather data. Thematic analysis showed that students' intrinsic motivation is frequently derived from their love of literature, personal pleasure in learning English, and aspiration for self-improvement. In the meanwhile, external incentives are influenced by academic demands, parental expectations, and professional ambitions. The research sheds light on the two roles of motivation in language acquisition and makes pedagogical recommendations for encouraging long-term learner involvement.

Abstract

The goal of this community service program is to increase public awareness of how digital technology and English language skills work together to prepare people for the workplace. The program employed a qualitative and community-based participatory method to provide interactive training, technology-mediated English practice, and mentoring activities that were based on actual workplace scenarios. In order to record participants' learning experiences and attitudes, data were gathered via observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group conversations. The results indicate that combining technology with English enhances participants' digital literacy, communication confidence, and knowledge of workplace expectations. The program also illustrates how experiential and participatory learning can effectively promote skill development and encourage ongoing education. In conclusion, this initiative emphasizes the significance of integrating language proficiency and technological proficiency in community service programs in order to increase employability and workforce flexibility.
