Abstract

The research aimed explores politeness approaches in EFL textbooks, especially Indonesian English textbooks. There were two textbooks which analysed as the sample for this study. The textbooks entitled “Talk Active 1” and “Talk Active 2: Language and Culture Programme”. The researcher limited the analysis on the dialogs which provided as materials in the textbooks. Brown & Levinson's (1987) politeness strategies were applied to categorize the data. The researcher applied content analysis method proposed by Denscombe, (2010) as the research method. The results of the study revealed bald on-record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record were reflected in the Indonesian English textbooks. Both types of bald on-record strategies were found in the Indonesian English textbooks. However, there were only three types of off-records strategies were reflected in the textbooks. The finding revealed 11 types of positive politeness as strategy follows: S1: Notice, attend to hearer; S2: Exaggerate, S3: Intensify interest to hearer; S4: Use in-group identity markers; S6: Avoid disagreement; S7: Presuppose/assert/raise common ground; S8: Joke; S10: Offer, promise; S12: Include both speaker and hearer in the activity; S13: Give (or ask for) reasons; S14: assume or assert reciprocity. The result also presented 8 types of negative politeness as follows: S1: Be conventionally indirect; S2: Question, hedge; S3: Be pessimistic; S4: Minimize the imposition; S5: Give deference; S6: Apologize; S7: Impersonalize speaker and hearer and S10: Go on record as incurring a debt, or as not indebting hearer. The analysis showed positive and negative politeness strategies were central strategies that reflected in the textbooks. It proved that Indonesian English textbooks have pragmatics input for the students.

Abstract

This research intended to describe how students' speaking ability improved through short daily conversations. The research belonged to classroom action research and consisted of two cycles. The setting of the research was in SMAN 1 Kretek, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The participants of this research were 25 students of XI IPA 2. The researcher gathered the data through conducting a pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2. In addition, to analyze the pre-test and post-test, the researcher used a descriptive quantitative approach describing the mean and the percentage of student improvement in each cycle. After implementing the research, the researcher found that short daily conversations can improve the student's speaking ability. It was shown from the result of the student's test scores. In each cycle, the student's score improved significantly. The pre-test result was low, with a mean score of 56.4. However, in the second result in the first cycle, the score was higher than the pre-test; the mean score was 66.12. Then, the last post-test in the second cycle was the highest; the mean score was 79.24. The conclusion was that teaching English using short daily conversations can improve students' speaking ability.Keywords: Speaking Skills, Short Daily Conversation, Speaking, Conversation, Action Research   .

Abstract

The teaching practicum is a critical component of preparing pre-service teachers, bridging theoretical knowledge and authentic classroom experiences. Despite its importance, there is limited research on how rural pre-service English teachers reflect on their practicum experiences within Islamic educational contexts. This study investigated (1) the reflective processes of rural pre-service English teachers during their teaching practicum, (2) the challenges they faced, and (3) the practicum’s contribution to their professional development and teacher identity formation. Utilizing a qualitative exploratory design, the study engaged three pre-service English teachers from an Islamic Higher Education Institution in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through written reflective reports and analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Four interconnected themes emerged: the development of professional teacher identity through experiential learning, the navigation of student diversity via adaptive teaching practices, the acquisition of ethical and relational teaching dimensions, and the adoption of a holistic teaching mission in Islamic schools. The findings indicate that the teaching practicum functioned as a transformative learning experience, enhancing participants’ self-confidence, pedagogical awareness, reflective capacity, and professional competence. Major challenges included student diversity, low English proficiency, limited motivation, and restricted instructional time. Participants demonstrated adaptability by modifying instructional strategies and contextualizing learning materials to address learners’ needs. The study also found that the Islamic school context contributed to the development of a holistic teacher identity, encouraging participants to view themselves as language instructors, character educators, moral role models, and facilitators of students’ spiritual development. These findings underscore the significance of reflective practicum experiences in fostering adaptive, ethical, and holistic teacher development in rural educational settings.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has changed how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is taught. However, there is still little research on how pre-service teachers use digital tools when facing serious material and geographic challenges. This study looks at the real experiences of pre-service English teachers at a rural private Islamic college in South Sumatra, Indonesia, as they used GenAI tools during their micro learning and teaching practicum. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach based on van Manen’s framework, data were gathered from structured, open-ended written reflections by all four students in the specialized track. The analysis found four main themes: (1) a shift in teaching beliefs from grammar-focused methods to Communicative Language Teaching (CLT); (2) the use of GenAI as a support tool alongside hands-on, non-digital adaptations, showing a digital divide within the group; (3) the Macro-Micro Paradox, where technical lesson planning with GenAI made classroom challenges more visible, especially due to teacher anxiety and student passivity; and (4) a change in professional identity from strict knowledge transmitters to flexible, empathetic facilitators. The study introduces the Macro-Micro Paradox, showing that while GenAI helps with lesson planning, it cannot solve the social and emotional challenges of real classroom engagements. These results indicate that teacher education programs should be re-examined to include digital empathic and technical skills, and that policy support is needed for underfunded faith-based institutions in the Global South.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between speaking anxiety and English speaking ability among students at an Islamic vocational high school in South Sumatra, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 100 students. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The results showed that the students had a relatively high level of speaking anxiety (M = 38.49, SD = 4.63), while their English speaking ability was at a moderate level (M = 36.02, SD = 2.63). The correlation analysis revealed a very weak negative and statistically nonsignificant relationship between speaking anxiety and English speaking ability (r = −0.043, p = 0.670). The findings indicate that speaking anxiety was not significantly associated with the students’ English speaking ability. Their speaking ability may therefore be influenced by other factors, including instructional practices, motivation, learning context, and environmental support.
