Abstract

The nature influence of speaking anxiety on foreign language (FL) learning settings has been established. In addition, research acknowledges the relevance of speaking performance in affecting individual predisposition to experience anxious feelings. However, few studies examine the Indonesian college students' anxiety influencing factors, mainly when speaking English. Data strategies employed a parallel design combining quantitative and qualitative methods mixing a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire with an in-depth interview. Twenty-eight college students responded online via Google Form to the questionnaire, while in addition, the in-depth interviews lasted 45-60 minutes with six college students. The results indicate that learning situations in classroom activities revolve around how teachers teach, college students' self-confidence, belief in language learning experiences, and excessive learning material are nature-related prominence factors of college students' anxiety in speaking English. In contrast, a lack of college students' preparation has no effect. Examined are the means through which this research contributes to the advancement of understanding and comprehension of previously unidentified components that influence college students' speaking anxiety.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate students' perceptions of interdisciplinary teacher collaboration (ITC) in ESP classes and to explore the challenges and problems students face during the implementation of ITC. The study involved 38 students from three non-English majors (Department of Agriculture, Department of Fisheries, and Department of Politics and Science). Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed, with the quantitative method used to investigate students' perception of ITC through team teaching and teachers' teaching methods in the ESP classroom. The qualitative method was used to explore the challenges and problems students faced during the implementation of ITC in the ESP context. Data was collected through a questionnaire on Google Forms and individual interviews with 12 students. The results showed that students had a positive reaction to the implementation of ITC, particularly in the areas of team teaching and teachers' teaching methods. However, challenges related to pronunciation, listening, misinterpretation, confidence, writing, grammar, and speaking were identified during the implementation of ITC.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the EFL lecturer's beliefs in teaching speaking using video to fifth-semester students in a private university in Indonesia. A qualitative method was employed as the design of this study, involving an in-depth exploration of the lecturer's perspectives and practices. An English teacher was purposefully selected as the research subject of the study. The data were collected through stimulated recall and semi-structured interviews, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the lecturer's beliefs and classroom practices. The findings were categorized into six major themes: 1) the source of the lecturer's belief in teaching speaking using video; 2) the purpose of using video in teaching speaking skills; 3) the reasons for using video in teaching speaking skills; 4) the reflection of those beliefs in classroom practices; 5) considerations in choosing the videos; and 6) challenges faced by the lecturer in teaching speaking using video. The results revealed that there was no discrepancy between the teacher's beliefs and teaching practices. The lecturer believes that using video in teaching speaking classes enables students to learn individually, which is reflected in his teaching practice. For example, the lecturer allows students to watch videos individually, facilitating a more personalized learning experience. This alignment between belief and practice underscores the importance of integrating multimedia tools in language teaching, as they can enhance student engagement and autonomy. The study highlights the potential of videos as a valuable resource in language education, particularly in improving speaking skills among EFL learners

Abstract

This study investigates the underlying factors contributing to speaking inhibition among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, with a particular focus on barriers to oral proficiency. Despite the increasing emphasis on communicative competence in language education, many EFL students experience significant challenges when it comes to speaking English fluently and confidently. Through a qualitative approach, this research explores factors that hinder students' oral proficiency from both signs of inhibition and internal factors include language anxiety, lack of self-confidence, and fear of making mistakes. Data were collected through classroom observation and interviews involving thirteen (13) EFL learners who were taking Basic Speaking Course. The findings from observation reveal that mostly students showed less eye contact more often than other inhibition signs such as rubbing the palms and staggered voice during their speaking practice at classroom. While from interview result, it was found that students mostly experienced the inhibition factor in a combination of language barriers and psychological problems such as anxiety and fear of making mistakes. This paper discusses these elements in detail and offers recommendations for educators to create a more supportive and conducive environment for developing students' oral proficiency. By addressing these barriers, educators can better facilitate EFL learners' ability to communicate effectively in English.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines empirical studies on ICQ in EFL classrooms. Guided by PRISMA 2020, eleven peer-reviewed articles published between 2016 and 2025 were selected from Google Scholar, Taylor & Francis Online, and ERIC. The review identifies ICQ types, methodological trends, and pedagogical contributions to instruction-giving and understanding-check practices. Findings indicate that ICQs are mainly used as comprehension checks, confirmation checks, and clarification requests. Form-based ICQs commonly appear as yes/no and Wh-questions, while display questions dominate the purpose-based category. Methodologically, qualitative studies dominated, followed by mixed-methods and limited quantitative research. The review concludes that effective ICQs should be specific, task-based, and evidence-seeking to strengthen instructional clarity and classroom interaction in EFL contexts.

Abstract

The integration of gamification into technology-based English language teaching (ELT) has emerged as a promising strategy to address low student engagement in EFL classrooms. This study investigated the effectiveness of gamification elements embedded in digital platforms to enhance student engagement among tenth-grade students at Baitul Qur’an Al Askar Madrasah Aliyah. Employing a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design, the research involved 36 students who participated in gamified English lessons utilizing platforms such as Kahoot! and Quizizz. Gamification elements, including points, badges, leaderboards, and instant feedback, were integrated into vocabulary, grammar, and speaking activities over a 12-week intervention period. Student engagement was measured using a validated 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire adapted from the Student Engagement Instrument, supplemented by classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analysis using paired-sample t-tests revealed a statistically significant increase in overall engagement scores from pre-test (M = 3.18, SD = 0.75) to post-test (M = 4.47, SD = 0.62), t(35) = -8.76, p < .001. Qualitative findings further indicated heightened motivation, active participation, and collaborative learning. The study concludes that gamification in technology-based ELT effectively boosts student engagement in Islamic senior high school settings. Practical implications for EFL teachers and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is fundamental to English language proficiency, yet many Indonesian senior high school students continue to face challenges in acquiring adequate vocabulary due to conventional teaching methods. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of digital platforms in enhancing English vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at SMA Al Quran Wahdah Islamiyah Kendari. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 23 students from Class XI selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of systematic vocabulary learning activities utilizing selected digital platforms over an eight-week period. Data were collected through a validated vocabulary achievement test administered before and after the treatment. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-test. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ vocabulary scores following the implementation of digital platforms (p < 0.05). Students also reported higher motivation and engagement during the learning process. This study concludes that digital platforms constitute an effective, accessible, and student-centered tool for improving vocabulary acquisition in EFL contexts. The results offer practical implications for English teachers and curriculum developers seeking to integrate technology in technology-limited or faith-based secondary schools in Indonesia.

Abstract

The integration of technology in language teaching has become increasingly important to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. This study examined the effect of interactive video-based learning on students’ English learning outcomes at SMA N 2 Kulisusu Utara, Southeast Sulawesi. Employing a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, the research involved the entire population of 17 students in Class XI. Interactive videos, developed using Canva and Edpuzzle with embedded quizzes, subtitles, and interactive tasks aligned with the 2022 Merdeka Curriculum, were implemented over eight weeks. English learning outcomes were measured through a validated achievement test covering vocabulary mastery, grammar, reading comprehension, and listening skills. Data were analysed using paired sample t-test with SPSS version 26. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ English learning outcomes after the intervention (pretest mean = 64.12, SD = 8.45; post-test mean = 81.76, SD = 7.23; t = 9.87, p < 0.001). Additionally, students reported high positive perceptions toward the learning media. These findings indicate that interactive video-based learning is an effective and engaging instructional strategy for improving English proficiency in senior high school settings, particularly in resource-limited madrasah environments. The study recommends wider adoption of interactive video technology and further research with larger samples and control groups.

Abstract

This study explores the roles and practices of an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teacher in fostering student engagement among non-English major students in higher education. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with a teacher at Muhammadiyah University of Kendari. The findings reveal that the teacher’s effectiveness stems from a combination of pedagogical, social, and professional competencies. Strategies employed to enhance engagement include creating a warm and inclusive classroom environment, tailoring teaching methods to accommodate diverse student proficiency levels, and implementing effective time management practices. These approaches significantly improved students’ confidence, participation, and language acquisition outcomes. The study also identified challenges such as limited course duration, which restricts long-term assessment, and occasional student reluctance in group activities. To address these challenges, the teacher relied on adaptive strategies and emphasized the importance of professional development programs, such as the Inter-disciplinary Teacher Collaboration (ITC) program, which provided new insights into effective ESP instruction. The study sheds light on the importance of collaborative learning, scaffolding techniques, and tailored instruction in meeting the specific linguistic and professional needs of ESP students. This research contributes to the understanding of ESP pedagogy by offering practical and theoretical insights into effective teaching practices. It highlights the critical role of teacher agency in shaping engagement and learning outcomes. The findings provide a foundation for improving ESP instruction and call for future research to explore longitudinal impacts, comparative studies, and the integration of technology in ESP classrooms.
