Abstract

This study aims to examine the progress achieved by participants in a TOEFL preparation program, as reflected in their TOEFL pre-test and post-test scores. The participants attended 24 TOEFL preparation sessions, and their performance before and after completing the program was compared to evaluate the program's effectiveness. The participants of this study consisted of university lecturers from one of the public universities in Indonesia, coming from different disciplines. This study employed a quantitative experimental design. The data were taken from the pre-test and post-test at the beginning and end of the TOEFL preparation program. The pretest and posttest data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The findings reveal that although some participants showed individual score fluctuations across the skills, the overall results did not indicate statistically significant improvement in TOEFL performances. The paired sample t-test showed that the p-value of .537 is greater than the conventional significance level of α=0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis failed to be rejected. It can be concluded that the TOEFL preparation for lecturers at a university in North Maluku did not result in a statistically significant improvement in their overall TOEFL scores.

Abstract

The limited production of scientific publications by teachers in Indonesia's disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions continues to constrain the development of teacher professionalism and a sustainable literacy culture. This community engagement program was designed to strengthen teachers' capacity to produce scientific papers, document evidence-based best practices, and utilize the Education Report Card as a foundation for school improvement planning. The program was implemented over four months through a collaborative partnership involving the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Pasifik Morotai, Save the Children, and the Stimulant Institute across 13 partner elementary schools in Pulau Morotai. A participatory and collaborative approach was adopted through In-Service Training (IST), On-Service Training (OST), followed by continuous mentoring, monitoring, and evaluation. The program substantially improved teachers' competence in academic writing and reflective teaching practices. Overall, 90% of the scientific manuscripts were completed and submitted to national journals, while 12 of the 13 participating schools successfully produced best-practice reports that satisfied the program standards. The mentoring process also fostered professional learning communities that strengthened collaboration among teachers. These findings indicate that sustained collaborative mentoring provides an effective strategy for cultivating teacher literacy and supporting continuous educational quality improvement in 3T regions.

Abstract

The scholarly discussion surrounding the implications of World English (WE) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in English language teaching has been taking place for decades. As part of the expanding circle country based on Kachru's Three Concentric Circles, Indonesia considers English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and has been gradually influenced by the conceptual frameworks of WE and ELF. This study aims to critically examine the existing literature on the incorporation of ELF into EFL classrooms in Indonesia, with a focus on the following questions: (1) What are the types of ELF concepts that have been introduced to the EFL context in Indonesia? (2) How do teachers perceive and approach the incorporation of ELF in EFL classes? (3) What are the potential opportunities for incorporating ELF in the Indonesian EFL context? and (4) What are the potential challenges facing the incorporation of ELF in the Indonesian EFL context? The findings of this study reveal that the types of ELF in Indonesia can be found in code-mixing and the uniqueness of articles and plurals by Indonesian speakers of English in an ELF context. Half of the teachers observed in the studies were found to be familiar with ELF, with many potentials for implementing ELF in Indonesian EFL considering the fact that Indonesia is as a multilingual country with diverse linguistic culture, and many scholars working on policy recommendations. However, the challenges of ELF in Indonesia still exist due to the practices of native speakers' ideology in Indonesia that have arguably been implemented since the beginning of English language teaching in Indonesia.
