Applying critical thinking is the ability to actively analyze, assess and understand information in depth before making a decision or concluding something. Researchers conducted this research on two English language education students at Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri University to find out what obstacles and efforts were applied when teaching in the classroom. This research uses a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews. Based on the research results, there are eight obstacles faced by teachers, namely: traditional teaching methods, time constraints, assessment challenges, teacher training, disciplinary disorders, resistance to change, limited resources, and cultural and social factors. All of these obstacles have been overcome well, namely by using various efforts such as argument mapping, analyzing texts and sources, using real-world examples, encouraging collaborative learning, building relationships, providing clear instructions, encouraging inquiry-based learning, demonstrating thinking processes, improve academic achievement, and problem-solving skills. Recommendations for future researchers are to develop this research by using comparative classes and expanding the scope of the research and further researchers can develop it by using more research instruments to further strengthen the results applying.

This paper reports on the implementation of an Extensive Reading (ER) program using Literacy Cloud for mobile English learning, and the perception of the student participants. For roughly four weeks, 45 EFL students enrolled in third grade from two major courses, namely a pharmacy and dental assistant course at a vocational high school in East Java, Indonesia, joined this program to experience extensive reading through Literacy Cloud for mobile English learning. They had no experience to use Literacy Cloud before, so literacy cloud is introduced to support ER program. Data was gathered with a questionnaire and interviews were given to ascertain student experience using Literacy Cloud in ER class. The results show that students had positive attitudes and perceptions about Literacy Cloud and felt that Literacy Cloud was very useful for supporting the development of their English skills, especially their reading skill. The results of this study have implications for English language teaching, for deploying ER with vocational school students. The integration of technology such as Literacy Cloud can provide many benefits for the students’ reading skill development.

One of the Government policies mentioned in the points of the National Education Policy Direction in the field of Elementary and Secondary Education in 2001/2004 was to reform and strengthen the system. The quality of education at elementary level is demanded to always be better along with the world's changing. The teacher as the leading role in teaching and studying activity is expected to be able to use acceptable media to improve student's learning interest. Visual based teaching media in game formation is one of effective alternative media to improve studying quality. Children in elementary level have a tendency to play. Fun and relaxing situations will help children to increase their learning interest. There is a new paradigm recently that through playing children will be able to learn more and their studying activity will be more effective when the situation is set to be fun. The development of this learning media in the form of “ular tangga”game is aimed at giving discourse about alternative teaching media for elementary level. The use of this alternative media is expected to improve the quality of teaching and studying activities at elementary level.

Understanding language assessment literacy (LAL) is an important part of pre-service English teachers’ professional development. Although interest in language assessment has increased, studies focusing on pre-service teachers’ LAL in the Indonesian EFL context remain limited. A clearer understanding of how pre-service teachers view and interpret classroom assessment is therefore needed to support more effective assessment practices and improve language teaching and learning. This qualitative study explores Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers' perceived readiness for classroom assessment by examining how aspects of LAL are articulated through interview data. The study involved ten English education study program students who had completed the teaching practicum program in East Java, Indonesia. The findings indicate that, despite expressing confidence in their readiness to teach, the participants demonstrated limited and uneven understandings of key LAL components. The small number of participants and the specific institutional context limit the transferability of the findings. Nevertheless, this study suggests that closer attention to LAL within pre-service English teachers’ education may help support the development of more balanced assessments.

Teachers' limited capacity to integrate digital technology into English lessons was identified as a key problem in Islamic elementary schools (madrasah ibtidaiyah) in Ngasem, Bojonegoro, through observation, partner discussions, and pre-training self-assessment. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen three domains of teachers' digital literacy: conceptual understanding, application-operating skills, and the ability to design digital teaching materials. Thirty teachers from madrasahs under LP Ma'arif NU Bojonegoro and the Ngasem Working Group of Madrasah Principals took part in a seven-stage Participatory Learning and Action program: needs analysis, focus group discussion, module development, workshop, mentoring, monitoring, and evaluation. Six complementary applications were introduced: Canva for Education, Wordwall, Quizizz, Padlet, Khan Academy Kids, and Literacy Cloud. Observation, questionnaire, product documentation, and performance data were analysed descriptively through triangulation. Teachers' competence shifted from low to good in conceptual understanding and application operation, and from poor to good in designing teaching materials. Outputs comprised a training module and four types of classroom-ready products that formed an initial digital media bank, and participant satisfaction was rated very good. These categorical findings indicate that participatory, product-oriented mentoring supported teachers' digital competence, whereas sustained classroom use and student impact require follow-up measurement.

The increasing prevalence of technology has brought about a shift in teaching methods, notably with the rise of remote speaking tasks, utilizing digital platforms to enrich language learning experiences for English learners. In the context of language education, proficiency in English is increasingly recognized as a vital skill for academic, professional, and social success in today's interconnected world. Previous researchers have extensively explored various aspects of language learning, with a predominant focus on conventional classroom-based activities. However, there has been limited investigation into the potential benefits of remote speaking tasks specifically in enhancing understanding, proficiency, and confidence among English learners. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of remote speaking tasks on English learners' understanding, proficiency, and confidence. The study used open-ended surveys with 19 English students at Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri, employing NVivo 12 to examine attitudes towards remote speaking tasks and achieving data saturation with this sample size. The findings emphasize the transformative impact of integrating remote speaking tasks and video creation in language learning, highlighting their significant benefits in enhancing comprehension, retention, critical skills, and English proficiency. The practical implications underscore the need for educators to adapt instructional methods by designing engaging activities, such as collaborative projects and creative language assignments, using platforms like VoiceThread and TikTok. These specific actions for educators aim to foster active learning, enhance students' speaking skills, confidence, adaptability, and fluency in real-life situations, while also developing essential 21st-century skills for academic and professional success.
