Abstract

The creativity of English L2 speakers exploiting the language provoked the researcher to explore students' preference for having native English speaker teachers (NESTs) and non-native English speaker teachers (NNESTs) in their classes. Thus, the current study aimed to explore EFL students' perceptions of native English speaker teachers (NESTs) and non-native English speaker teachers (NNESTs) teaching English in a class. The study recruits a hundred EFL students across Malang, East Java, piloting survey design on the basis of a convenience sampling technique. In general, the study unpacked the students' positive attitudes toward NNESTs. They agreed that they should have NNESTs at primary, secondary, and university levels. However, they suggested that NESTs should teach speaking and pronunciation. In addition, the respondent preferred having both NESTs and NNESTs in a class to be more engaging and stress-revealing. Therefore, initiating a class team teaching between NESTs and NNESTs is paramount for the stakeholders to be taken into account.

Abstract

Despite the expanding scholarship on English for Specific Purposes (ESP), insufficient attention has been given to the pedagogical and curricular consequences of developing ESP for Business courses in contexts where textbooks are unavailable, unsuitable, or intentionally excluded. Much of the existing literature remains anchored in textbook-dependent models, thereby overlooking how curriculum design, instructional practices, and learning coherence are negotiated in textbook-free settings. Addressing this gap, this study investigates the pedagogical challenges and curriculum opportunities emerging from the design of an ESP for Business course at Universitas Cipta Wacana, a private Indonesian university. Adopting a design-oriented qualitative research approach, the study examined iterative processes of course planning, materials development, and instructional enactment over one academic semester. The participants comprised 38 undergraduate Business Administration students and two ESP instructors, selected through purposive sampling. Data were generated from instructional design artifacts, teaching reflections, learner feedback instruments, and focused interviews with instructors, and were subjected to systematic qualitative analysis. The findings indicate that the absence of a prescribed textbook fostered curricular adaptability, contextual authenticity, and closer alignment with disciplinary communication practices, while simultaneously generating tensions related to instructional consistency, assessment benchmarking, and increased cognitive and temporal demands on instructors. These findings highlight the dual pedagogical implications of textbook-free ESP design and suggest the need for institutionally supported frameworks to sustain innovation while ensuring curricular coherence.

Abstract

The scattered of English throughout the world signaled the language significance. Thus, the current study aims to improve junior high school vocabulary mastery in TEFL. A random sampling technique under pre-experimental design was employed to select one class out of the eight classes. The study then recruited 21 students. Vocabulary test in the form of multiple choices was implemented as the instrument of the study, consisted of 50 items. The test was administrated twice. The first test was pre-test and the second test was post-test to see the method significance difference. Moreover, the results of the pre-test and post-test were analyzed by using t-test. Based on the study, the data analysis on the students’ score in pre-test unpacked that the mean score of the pre-test was 45.61, the mean score of post-tests was 67.52, the t-value was 79.56, and the t-value in the table was 17.25. Therefore, the finding of the research showed that the use of PPP method may increase EFL vocabulary mastery, indicating accepted hypothesis.
