Abstract

The development of English teaching materials related to sustainable tourism in vocational high schools still faces various challenges, despite the significant growth of the tourism industry in Indonesia. This Community Service Program aims to enhance the teaching abilities of English teachers at vocational high schools in Malang by helping them develop teaching materials that incorporate various aspects of sustainable tourism through an intensive educational and mentoring approach. A total of 20 teachers participated in this workshop and training program. During implementation, they received training to develop online learning materials that simultaneously enhance reading, listening, and writing skills while also providing practice in tour guiding. Additionally, they were trained in utilizing technology to present interactive teaching materials aligned with advancements in the modern tourism industry. As a result, the teachers' ability to develop digital-based learning materials improved significantly, enabling them to guide students more effectively. In line with the teachers' enhanced ability to design innovative and sustainable learning materials, this initiative aims to raise educational standards at the vocational high school level and support students in adapting to advancements in the tourism industry.

Abstract

This study investigates the core beliefs of English teachers facilitating English language learning in Islamic boarding schools. Using a phenomenological research method, the research explores the lived experiences of six participants, four students (S1, S2, S3, S4) and two teachers (T1, T2), regarding English learning in Islamic educational settings. The study conducted detailed, semi-structured interviews and observations at a privately-run Islamic boarding school in Pasuruan regency, East Java, Indonesia. The results reveal that the teachers face significant challenges including inadequate technological resources, poor student motivation, and beliefs that religious knowledge supersedes English proficiency. Likewise, the students initially demonstrated low motivation due to limited extracurricular activities and perceptions that English conflicts with religious studies. However, institutional interventions through interactive techniques, modern teaching practices, and cultural exchange programs gradually improved student attitudes. Adaptive strategies emerged, incorporating Islamic values into language education while emphasizing Englishs practical applications. The findings suggest that culturally sensitive and innovative teaching strategies are crucial for effective English language acquisition in religious educational settings. By integrating Islamic principles into language instruction, educators can enhance student engagement while preserving cultural identity. This study provides important perspectives on English language learning in Islamic boarding schools and presents recommendations for educators and policymakers to enhance language education in similar contexts, while maintaining respect for religious and cultural values.

Abstract

Second language acquisition (SLA) research often prioritizes adult and tertiary-level learners, leaving adolescent learners in secondary schools underrepresented. This study investigates how teacher–learner interactions shape SLA in Indonesian junior high school classrooms, focusing on instructional strategies and contextual challenges. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with four teachers and thirty-two students. Thematic analysis revealed that scaffolding, modified input, peer collaboration, and implicit feedback were key strategies that fostered engagement, comprehension, and learner confidence. Teachers employed stepwise guidance, slowed speech, visual supports, and role-plays to encourage active participation, while rephrased feedback helped reduce anxiety during error correction. However, persistent challenges emerged, including student anxiety, wide proficiency gaps, limited teaching resources, and overcrowded classrooms, which constrained interaction patterns. The findings highlight the importance of differentiated instruction, low-anxiety learning environments, and resource support to optimize SLA in adolescent EFL contexts. This study contributes to SLA literature by emphasizing the critical role of interactive strategies in promoting effective language acquisition among younger learners in non-western settings.
