Abstract

This reflective study explores the implementation of communicative learning strategies in teaching English at a senior high school during a one-month teaching practice in an Islamic boarding school setting. The aim is to analyse how communicative approaches such as role-play, group discussion, and real-life interaction tasks can be effectively applied without reliance on digital tools. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through classroom observation, reflective journals, teaching documentation, and student interviews. The findings indicate that communicative strategies significantly improved students' engagement and speaking confidence, despite limited technological support. Interview responses revealed that students felt more motivated and involved when participating in real-life based communication activities rather than rote learning. Observational and documentation data further confirmed that learner-centered methods encouraged greater autonomy and peer collaboration. The study also reveals several challenges, including time constraints and students’ varying language proficiency levels, which at times hindered balanced participation. However, adaptive teaching techniques such as differentiated instructions, visual aids, and role-based tasks proved effective in addressing these issues. This study contributes practical insights into English language teaching in resource-limited contexts and highlights the importance of contextual flexibility. Furthermore, it emphasizes the value of reflective teaching practices for pre-service teachers, particularly in environments where modern technological tools are limited or unavailable. Ultimately, the findings advocate for the integration of communicative learning strategies to enhance learner motivation and speaking fluency in traditional educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the influence of local accent on English pronunciation among English Department students. In the context of Indonesia, which is rich in regional language diversity, local accents often affect the pronunciation of English vocabulary, especially on sounds that are not found in the speakers' native language. This challenge is important to note, given that proper pronunciation greatly affects the ability to communicate in English. To investigate this, the research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of recorded speaking tasks and in-depth interviews. This study involved 30 students who came from various regional backgrounds. The results revealed that most students were still affected by regional accents, such as the pronunciation of the phoneme /θ/ into /t/ or /s/, as well as intonation patterns that were not in accordance with English standards. For example, the word “think” is often pronounced as “tink” or “sink”. These findings indicate the need for a more intensive phonetic approach in teaching speaking in English classes, as well as the development of teaching materials that are more responsive to the diversity of local accents. Thus, this study is expected to contribute to the development of English curriculum and teaching methods in Indonesia.

Abstract

this research examines the students' first-hand experience with multicultural cross-cultural engagement at Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL). This dissertation examines the value of such multicultural educative experiences for the students in relation to their English language skills acquisition. English language and culture learners achieve Communication Competence. This study adopted the qualitative case study approach, classroom adjacencies, and in-depth, one-on-one interviews with students and teachers for data collection. The study purposely sampled six students and cross multicultural engagement, intra, and extra school activities. Authentic experiences and reflections were the objectives of the study, and data was collected over one month. It has been shown that students who routinely partake in cross-cultural interaction have better English vocabulary, speaking fluency and overall confidence when using English in everyday scenarios. The participation of teachers was central in enriching these experiences by incorporating cultural elements of the lessons as well as promoting cooperative learning of students with different cultural backgrounds. The research provides evidence on the relevance of multicultural interfacing and its relation to cross cultural interaction in enhancing learners’ language proficiency.
