Abstract

This case study investigates English language teachers’ understanding and implementation of self-assessment (SA) in elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels. The research focuses on exploring how English teachers’ understanding of SA and how SA is applied in classroom settings. Data were collected through interviews and classroom observations involving five English teachers from a private school in East Jakarta, selected through purposeful sampling to capture diverse teaching experiences and grade levels. The findings indicate that all participants demonstrated a clear understanding of SA, its classroom implementation varied. Factors such as student age influenced the adaptation of SA practices, with younger learners requiring more guided approaches. Additionally, the frequency of SA use ranged from regular integration throughout lessons to limited use at the end of the term. These insights suggest areas for improvement, such as promoting more consistent use of SA throughout the learning process. The study offers practical examples of how English language teachers incorporate SA, providing guidance for educators aiming to enhance student engagement and autonomy through reflective learning practices.

Abstract

While the role of code-switching in multilingual classrooms has been widely examined in previous studies, particularly in general educational settings, only a limited number of investigations have focused on its application to pesantren settings teaching religious and secular subjects concurrently. This study investigates the use of code-switching in English teaching at a pesantren or Islamic boarding school in East Ciputat. The research found that code-switching is strategically used to explain vocabulary, check understanding, summarize lessons, and provide feedback. It was found that during complex content delivery and reflective activities, code-switching was more frequent, simplifying challenging material. Students generally showed positive reactions, but occasional confusion was observed. The study also found that other teaching styles, such as group discussions and multimedia use, further complemented code-switching. The study suggests that while code-switching enhances comprehension, teachers must strike a balance to avoid over-reliance on the native language, promoting more immersive English language learning. It calls for continued professional development for teachers in multilingual environments to optimize code-switching strategies and support students' language proficiency growth.
