Abstract

As frontline educators, ESL teachers possess invaluable insights into their students needs and a profound understanding of practical pedagogical strategies. Despite their crucial role, limited research has explored their perspectives on involvement in decision-making processes and the challenges they face, particularly when navigating the tension between institutional expectations and students needs. This study addresses this gap by examining the challenges confronted by ESL teachers and identifying areas for potential improvement in English Language Teacher Education (ELTE) within the Malaysian educational context. Through qualitative inquiry, data were gathered from ten expert ESL teachers and five ELTE administrators via semi-structured interviews. Using inductive coding in Atlas.ti and thematic analysis, several critical challenges were identified, including the pressure to deliver academic results while fostering critical thinking, adjusting to rapid technological changes, dealing with attitudes of both teachers and students, managing insufficient facilities, and coping with an exam-oriented syllabus. Additionally, participants expressed feelings of being unheard and overwhelmed by administrative tasks. The findings not only contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by ESL teachers but also offer insights into enhancing ELTE in terms of pre-service and in-service training, facilities and resources, and incorporating teachers voices into policy-making processes. These insights pave the way for targeted interventions and foster teacher empowerment in decision-making.

Abstract

In this study, we wanted to see if the way a company's money is arranged affects how different things like gender diversity, how much money it makes, how big it is, and its stock price relate to each other. We looked at 30 companies listed on the Jakarta Islamic Index in Indonesia. We used information from things like reports and websites. Specifically, we focused on annual reports from 2019 to 2022. We studied a total of 120 companies. To analyze the data, we used a few different methods with a software called Eviews. What we found was that gender diversity, how much money a company makes, and how big it is, all influence its stock price. Interestingly, the way a company's money is arranged didn't change how gender diversity or size affected stock price, but it did affect how profitability influenced it. This suggests that focusing on making profits could be key for companies listed on the Islamic Index to improve their stock prices. Our findings could help managers of these companies make decisions about how to manage their finances and boost profits. They could also be useful for shaping policies for Islamic Index companies in Indonesia
