Abstract

Each student has a unique set of learning needs, learning styles, and background of knowledge, concerns have been expressed about differentiated instruction. Differentiated instruction is a teaching strategy that modifies lessons to meet the needs of each individual student, improving learning and motivation. Traditional instruction frequently fails to meet the requirement for struggling and advanced learners because it tent to focus on ordinary students.  Using the framework proposed by Thomlinson (2014), this study evaluates the potential use of the textbook English on Sky to assist differentiated instruction as evidenced by the occurrence of differentiated instruction elements: content, process and product contained in the textbook. This descriptive qualitative study collected data through a three-type categorization of differentiated instruction from Thomlinson (2014) and an interview conducted to an English teacher using the textbook. The findings reveal that the textbook does not support any differentiated instruction content, process and product. The teacher also has adequate understanding about DI. The study leads to the conclusion that English on Sky does not have potential to assist differentiated instruction considering that the book was not written for an emancipated curriculum. To accommodate different students' interests and learning styles, it is recommended that teachers switch to textbooks that offer differentiated instruction in terms of content, process, and product.

Abstract

English Textbook is a widely used source for teaching English in Indonesia, but studies showed that many textbook tasks are unsuitable for students’ needs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out the task types presented in the EFL Textbook, Easy English for Package B (Junior High School level), used by an Institution, focused on Module 1, Getting Acquaintance. The research design was a content analysis under a descriptive qualitative study. The data were collected from the EFL Module 1, and 1 teacher was recruited as a participant. The study used the task types rubric by Nunan (1999; 2004). Besides the content analysis, an interview was conducted to identify tasks found in the textbook and the teacher's perspective regarding the module. The finding showed that the module does not meet the standards of a good textbook, predominantly because it centered around linguistic tasks, comprising 97.66% of all tasks; another type of task is creative tasks, constituting only 2.32%. In other words, the module lacks diversity in task types, as there are no cognitive, interpersonal, or affective tasks. In the interview, the teacher shows a negative attitude towards the tasks in module 1, which is that the tasks ignore many other important aspects of learning. To improve, textbook makers should include various tasks from Nunan’s framework that apply to real life. Teachers should use these materials creatively, and schools should offer textbooks that provide comprehensive language tasks.

Abstract

Background: Recent studies found that some English textbooks do not support Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) principles that are suitable to be emphasised in teaching with the current emancipated curriculum in Indonesia. Objective: This study attempts an analysis on exercises in an English textbook entitled “Think” (CEFR A1) by Cambridge University Press for seventh graders. The research was to analyze the extent to which the exercises in the textbook follow the principles of CLT, to explore the teachers’ perspective in the use of textbooks to support CLT, and to describe the students' performances of the communicative classroom activities. Methods: The research used a qualitative case study method employing document analysis, teachers’ interview and classroom observations in a private Islamic Junior High School in Semarang, Central Java. Findings: The results show that the textbook strongly promotes communicative competence dominated by task completion activities with a proportion of individual tasks excelling in pair/group works in them. Conclusion: However, the large number of exercises makes this book seem like a workbook. Although the teachers have adequate understanding of CLT principles and the activities presented in the textbook, the interviews showed that time constraints meant that most of the time, they could only use task completion and role play. The results of the students' performance showed that most of them succeeded in practicing the role play well although the low achievers who had problems in practicing the dialogue needed better scaffolding and time during the tasks completion.

Abstract

This writing intended to explore authentic assessment in teaching EFL writing, focusing on how the authentic assessment is presented in writing, the problem of the implementation, as well as the effectiveness.  This is a literature review writing that examines previous articles. According to previous studies, some teachers have used authentic assessment to evaluate their students’ writing skills, but they have faced some challenges such as lack of time and resources to implement all kinds of authentic assessment. Authentic assessment is a powerful way to measure student writing because it allows students to write about realistic situations that suit their needs, and it can also enhance their writing abilities, motivation, enthusiasm, and desire to write

Abstract

Learner autonomy is essential in young learners’ language development, yet its implementation remains limited at the elementary level, particularly in contexts rooted in teacher-centered traditions. This study examined the understanding of elementary EFL teachers and the strategies they use to foster learner autonomy in EYL classrooms in Indonesia, employing a sequential mixed-methods design. The study commenced with a survey of 34 teachers, followed by semi-structured interviews with four selected teachers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze survey data, while thematic analysis was applied to interview transcripts. The findings revealed that most teachers have a positive understanding of learner autonomy, with a particular emphasis on their role as facilitators and motivators. Teachers applied various strategies to foster autonomy, such as providing choice in learning activities and giving positive feedback. However, this positive orientation was contrasted by the presence of teacher skepticism regarding young learners’ readiness for autonomy. These findings suggest that while the conceptual understanding of learner autonomy is present, its implementation still requires targeted professional development focusing on age-appropriate pedagogical scaffolding and practical tools to move teachers beyond conceptual understanding to consistent autonomous practice.

Abstract

Digital literacy has emerged as a crucial skill for teachers to acquire in order to adapt to the enormous digital learning resources available online. This study aims to explore English teachers’ digital literacy knowledge and practices, particularly their adaptation of digital learning resources for classroom use. This study employed a qualitative content analysis design guided by the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators(DigCompEdu). The study focuses on three areas: digital resources, teaching and learning, and empowering learners, to map teachers’ competence against their classroom practices. Data were collected from 12 digital learning resources created by three junior high school English teachers, supported by DigCompEdu-derived questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Although the sample is small, the study adopts an in-depth case-oriented approach to generate rich, contextualized insights into the relationship between perceived and enacted digital competence. The findings reveal a significant disparity between teachers’ self-assessed competence levels (B1–C1) and the pedagogical depth of their resource adaptation. While teachers frequently use multimodal resources and demonstrate functional digital skills, critical evaluation of sources, systematic citation practices, learner-centered adaptation, and integration of problem-solving remain limited. This gap highlights a conceptual distinction between operational digital proficiency and profound digital literacy in pedagogical contexts. The novelty of this study lies in its empirical evidence of competence-practice misalignment, based on a triangulated analysis of self-assessment data and real instructional artifacts within the DigCompEdu framework. The findings contribute to global discussions on teachers' digital literacy by emphasizing the need to move beyond skill acquisition toward reflective, evaluative, and pedagogically grounded digital integration in language education

Abstract

This study aims to examine the existence of Korean language in public spaces in Bandung City through a Linguistic Landscape approach. Korean language is increasingly found in various public sectors, particularly in the culinary, beauty, non-formal education, and banking sectors. Data was collected through photographic documentation of signage in eight districts, which was then analyzed based on spatial distribution, language combination forms (monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual), and their socio-cultural functions. The findings reveal that Korean is not only used as a communication tool but also as a symbol of identity and cultural capital in public spaces. The patterns of combining Korean with Indonesian and English reflect marketing strategies, modernity, and symbolic values influenced by globalization and Korean popular culture. These findings confirm that the public spaces of Bandung serve as an arena for interaction between local and global values, reflecting the sociolinguistic dynamics of contemporary urban society.
