Abstract

In understanding foreign language texts, there are several challenges faced by young learners. The transformation of the learning system into online increasingly adds new problems for them. Students' motivation in online learning is relatively low, while the acquisition of foreign language reading comprehension demands great motivation (Fareh, 2010). Authentic text can be a solution to this problem. Therefore, this study was conducted to test its effectiveness in improving young students' reading comprehension in online classes and to examine their perceptions of teaching reading comprehension using authentic texts in online classes. This research is a quasi-experimental research with one group pre-test post-test design. The data generated is quantitative data in the form of student learning outcomes and reading interest questionnaires. The results showed that the use of authentic texts was proven to be effective in resolving new conflicts that arose in the online foreign language reading comprehension class. In addition, students' perceptions of the use of authentic texts are also good. However, the role of teachers and students is needed in its implementation

Abstract

In today’s globalized business environment, English plays a vital role in professional communication, especially in non-English-speaking countries like Indonesia. This study explores English language usage in Indonesian workplaces, the challenges employees encounter, and their motivation to improve proficiency. It aims to understand how English affects workplace dynamics and identify strategies to enhance communication. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire completed by employees across various sectors. The 26-item instrument measured language use, perceived difficulties, attitudes, and motivation on a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to interpret the findings. Results indicate that receptive skills (e.g., reading English documents) are used more frequently than productive skills (e.g., speaking in meetings). Participants reported moderate difficulties in expressing ideas and understanding accents, but showed strong awareness of English’s importance and high motivation to improve. Additionally, there was a strong expectation for organizational support, such as training programs and communication policies. This study highlights the need for targeted interventions to bridge communication gaps and promote effective English usage. With high employee motivation and clear institutional demand, organizations have a valuable opportunity to strengthen their workforce's communicative competence and global competitiveness.

Abstract

Critical reading is a vital skill for tertiary EFL learners, as it helps develop deeper understanding and analytical thinking. However, most assessment practices still rely heavily on paper-based tests that primarily measure comprehension in a limited way, leaving a gap in understanding how students demonstrate critical reading through alternative methods. This study investigates how tertiary-level EFL students demonstrate critical reading through three assessment formats: a written paper-based test, a visual concept map, and an oral BookTalk presentation. Drawing on descriptive data from ten English Literature students enrolled in a Critical Reading course, the study compares performance across these modalities to understand how each format supports different dimensions of critical reading. Findings show that while paper-based assessments effectively measure basic comprehension, visual and oral tasks better reveal skills such as synthesis, interpretation, and personal response. Students who performed moderately on written tests often improved significantly in the visual and oral tasks, suggesting that multimodal assessments better capture learners’ critical engagement. The results underscore the value of integrating varied assessment types to form a more comprehensive and equitable understanding of student learning. By including visual and oral formats, educators can support a wider range of learner strengths and foster deeper interaction with texts. This study contributes to expanding assessment practices in tertiary EFL contexts by highlighting the potential of alternative formats in developing students’ critical reading skills.
