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.

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.

Abstract

This study explores the perspectives and experiences related to AI writing assistants for college-level English language learners, casting light on potential as valuable supports for language learning and academic writing enhancement. This study uses a qualitative design with narrative inquiry approach. The study was conducted with three English Language Learners in Magister program from one university in Malang. The two research questions were addressed by conducting semi-structured interviews with these students. The results of this investigation show that students' perceptions of ChatGPT were contradictory, with both positive and negative aspects swaying their perspectives. Moreover, the study highlighted factors among them academic workload, time efficiency, and affordability that affected the English language learner’s intent to employ ChatGPT as a writing assistant in an academic context. Regardless the numerous benefit such as instant feedback, grammar proofreading correction, expanding vocabulary, and language style suggestions, the incorporation of AI-based writing aids in academic contexts still faces ethical and practical challenges. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of these aspects can provide valuable insights for educators, enabling them to develop efficacious strategies for the responsible and sustainable integration of AI tools. These strategies aim to effectively facilitate language learning and academic writing for those who are learning English as a foreign language.

Abstract

This study employs qualitative research methods, particularly narrative inquiry, to explore the challenges preschool teachers face in teaching English to young learners. Through face-to-face semi-structured interviews, a purposively selected and diverse group of four early childhood educators, each with varying English language proficiency and educational backgrounds, provided insights into their experiences. This research primarily investigates the strategies these teachers implement to effectively manage interdisciplinary teaching activities and to enhance student engagement with English language materials. Additionally, it examines into the enduring impacts of these instructional strategies on preschool students, as reported by the teachers. The findings are organized into three key themes: the specific challenges faced in English language instruction, the strategies developed to address these challenges, and the short- to medium-term effects observed by the teachers. These outcomes offer significant implications for educators and policymakers in the realm of early childhood education. They contribute to a deeper understanding of effective teaching practices and inform the development of curricula and pedagogical approaches that can better support English language acquisition among preschoolers.

Abstract

EFL teachers typically confront an abundance of problems that can lead to stress and have an influence on their resilience. Understanding resilience and stress can help improve well-being and education. This qualitative study tried to figure out the resilience and stress factors faced by EFL teachers across educational levels. The narrative inquiry involved an in-depth semi-structured interview administered to four EFL teachers across primary, middle, and secondary levels. The findings indicate that EFL teachers across educational levels encounter similar stressors, such as heavy workloads, student behavior, and low salary. Surprisingly, there were differences in stress factors and resilience strategies utilized by teachers across educational levels. The primary-level teacher reported more stress when dealing with students’ behavior, whereas middle-level teacher was stressed by students’ behavior and resources, and high school teacher by resource constraints and encouraged student engagement. Regarding resilience strategies, teachers at all levels indicated seeking support from family and friends but also using different coping methods such as meditation, leisure activities, and positive thinking. The findings suggest the importance of understanding the unique stress factors faced by EFL teachers across educational levels and establishing targeted support programs to enhance teacher resilience.
