Abstract

This study examined distance learner resilience in overcoming academic burnout during their research in the English department. The descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to evaluate the experiences and perspectives of 144 distance learners on their self-directed learning activities from the Undergraduate and Graduate English Education Study Programs at Universitas Terbuka (UT). The findings revealed that a strong support system is important in enhancing learners' resilience in distance higher education. Support from family and institutions contributes to their emotional and academic stability, while community engagement and access to digital resources expand learning opportunities and overcome barriers. In addition, the balance between online learning and personal life is key to preventing academic burnout and maintaining learning motivation. Therefore, educational institutions need to develop holistic support strategies, covering emotional, social, and managerial aspects for distance learners.

Abstract

The background of this research is the assumption that a gap exists, causing cultural conflict represented by Customs and Values (Culture) in English textbooks used in Junior High Schools, especially in grade 7. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine whether the gap is indeed true. Moreover, it will also be clear why the gap occurs and what the solution to the problem is. The research method employed is a qualitative approach using a content analysis research instrument to analyse the visualisations contained in English textbooks for grade 7 students in Junior High School. The visualisations are obtained from two selected English textbooks, namely English for Nusantara and English in Mind. The results of the study revealed social conflict in English textbooks used by 7th-grade junior high school students in the Customs and Values entity, which is part of the Culture sector. Based on a comprehensive data analysis, this study provides several conclusions. Referring to Berelson's content analysis steps, there was social conflict in terms of customs and values ​​in both English textbooks, namely English for Nusantara and English in Mind. After comparison, social conflict related to customs occurred more frequently than others, with a percentage of around 70% to 30%. Therefore, social conflict arose in both customs and values. This study contributes to the discourse on culturally sensitive English language teaching, offering practical guidance for curriculum designers, educators, and policymakers to enhance intercultural competence and contextual relevance in language learning.

Abstract

Digital reading platforms have transformed the landscape of language instruction, particularly within the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, where traditional methods often fall short in meeting diverse learner needs. Grounded in sociocognitive and constructivist perspectives on digital literacy, this study explores how EreadingWorksheets.com enhances strategic reading comprehension and scaffolds metacognitive engagement in an Indonesian EFL program. Specifically, the research aims to investigate teachers’ perceptions of the platform’s effectiveness and the challenges and benefits experienced during its integration in the English Garden Course. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving twelve adolescent learners and their instructors. Thematic analysis revealed that teachers perceived the platform as effective for differentiated instruction and student motivation, while also observing improvements in learners’ strategy use. However, challenges related to cultural mismatches in content, limited digital access, and curriculum misalignment were also reported. These findings suggest that while EreadingWorksheets.com offers significant pedagogical affordances, its effectiveness depends on teacher mediation and contextual adaptation. The study underscores the critical role of educators in optimizing digital tools and provides practical insights for the design of technology-enhanced reading instruction that promotes cognitive depth and literacy equity in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study identifies how exposition texts in Grade XI English textbooks contribute to character building using the 4C paradigm. Curriculum Merdeka is the guideline for promoting student autonomy and a pedagogical shift towards the 21st-century soft skills framework. This study employed qualitative case study analysis and interviews to evaluate the exposition texts of Ministry of Education-approved textbooks, assessing their capacity to enhance character building in eleventh-grade students. The case study analysis reveals that exposition texts primarily address ethical issues and social concerns, providing several opportunities for character education. However, the associated learning activities demonstrated the consistency of the 4C paradigm, with critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity regularly included in the process of character development during the teaching-learning process. Expository text should be used to improve moral reasoning, perspective-taking abilities, and ethical awareness for eleventh-grade students at school. English textbooks provide students with the selection and use of exposition texts to maximize their contribution to overall character building in secondary education. The implementation of 4C in the activities included in the English textbook enables students to be more aware of their environment in a wise manner.
