Abstract

This study explores third-semester students’ expectations and actual experiences of group work in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning within an English Education Study Program in higher education. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study design, the research involved ten third-semester students (five males and five females) selected through purposive sampling based on their prior experience with collaborative learning. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that most participants held positive expectations of group work, particularly regarding increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and greater engagement in English learning. These expectations were largely confirmed in practice, indicating an alignment between students’ expectations and classroom realities at the affective level. However, the study also identified important tensions, as unequal participation and inconsistent use of English persisted during group interactions. While group work functioned as an effective scaffold that encouraged participation, it did not automatically ensure equitable contribution or sustained target-language use. By explicitly contrasting students’ expectations with their lived classroom experiences, this study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of group work as a pedagogical strategy whose effectiveness depends on structured design and teacher scaffolding. The findings offer important implications for EFL teacher education and collaborative learning practices in higher education.

Abstract

This community service program aims to describe the manifestation of deep learning principles—joyful, meaningful, and mindful learning—in teaching English for young learners in a non-formal education setting. The program was conducted at a Pusat Pengembangan Anak (PPA) involving learners aged 9–11 years and implemented over seven instructional meetings. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through field notes and observation sheets. The findings show that joyful learning was manifested through students’ enthusiasm, active participation, and positive emotional engagement during learning activities. Meaningful learning appeared as students connected English materials with their daily experiences and used language in relevant contexts. Mindful learning was reflected in students’ attention, cooperation, and gradual awareness of the learning process. These findings indicate that deep learning principles can be effectively implemented in non-formal English learning contexts and highlight the potential of community-based programs in supporting meaningful and sustainable English education for young learners.
