Abstract

The present phenomenological study discovers the lived experiences of English education graduates pursuing non-teaching careers (any professional roles that do not involve teaching students in formal educational settings). By conducting in-depth interviews with three participants, their lived experiences uncovered the interaction between non-teaching career exploration, appealing job opportunities, interest-driven career decisions, career choice consistency, self-efficacy, confidence, career growth, and development opportunities, which guided them to pursue their non-teaching careers. They considered intrinsic factors (self-efficacy and confidence, personal goals, personal interest, personal development, and outcomes expectations), along with extrinsic factors (financial stability, teaching limitations, career prospect, workload vs. compensation, continued engagement with educational background) in deciding their careers. The skills from English education such as teaching, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and English skills are applicable to help them adapt to their non-teaching career. The findings prove the adaptability of English education graduates in managing job market difficulties and diverse applications of their educational experiences. By having these facts this study informs higher education institutions and English education programs to support and guide the English education graduates as they fit for diverse career paths.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the problems faced by university students in English speaking classes across different proficiency levels at one of the universities in East Kalimantan and their strategies to overcome the problems. This research used a quantitative survey method. The data was collected using a questionnaire divided into two sections, speaking problems and strategies, shared using Google Forms. 85 of 100 students answered the questionnaire. The findings revealed that the most prevalent problems were affective-related (68.7%) and linguistic-related (62.0%). Specifically, 83.5% of students reported fear of making mistakes, 82.4% struggled with overuse of their mother tongue, and 75.3% faced insufficient grammar knowledge. Beginner students exhibited the highest frequency of issues, with 100% acknowledging fear of mistakes, while intermediate and advanced students also reported significant affective and linguistic challenges, albeit at slightly lower rates (e.g., 86% and 74% for fear of mistakes, respectively). Coping strategies varied by proficiency level: beginners relied heavily on passive methods like watching movies (75%), while intermediate students incorporated more interactive strategies, such as peer practice (37.9%). Advanced learners demonstrated balanced strategies, including regular speaking practice (52.2%) and peer interaction (60.9%). The study results underline the need for tailored pedagogical interventions to support students’ emotional readiness and language competence, emphasizing the importance of strategic practice environments and personalized feedback.

Abstract

This study examined the forms and functions of lecturers’ code-switching in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom interaction in Indonesian higher education. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through classroom observations and student interviews and analyzed thematically. The study focused on naturally occurring interactions across multiple lessons to capture authentic language use. The findings reveal three main forms of code-switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag switching, with inter- and intra-sentential appearing more salient during explanatory and instructional sessions. Functionally, code-switching was used toexplain material, give instructions, check understanding, build rapport, and manage classroom behavior. Students reported that code-switching supported their understanding while still maintaining the use of English as the main instructional language. These results indicate that lecturers’ code-switching is a patterned and interactionally grounded practice, demonstrating how bilingual resources can be effectively leveraged to enhance learning outcomes and student engagement in Indonesian EFL classrooms.
