Abstract

Within applied linguistics and foreign language pedagogy, the role of emotions in language learning has been somewhat overshadowed. Addressing this oversight, our study focuses on psychological elements pertinent to English learning stages. We explore the interplay between academic perfectionism, self-efficacy, and language learning burnout. Survey data was collected from 263 English Department students at a university in Malang across the 2nd, 4th, and 6th semesters using structured questionnaires. Notably, while second-semester students showed no significant correlation among these variables, meaningful connections emerged for students in the fourth and sixth semesters. Analysis revealed that, though academic perfectionism plays a role, its impact on burnout is relatively minor compared to self-efficacy. There was a distinct correlation between academic self-efficacy and language learning burnout throughout the English program's progression, with a weaker relationship in the 2nd semester and a stronger one in the 4th and 6th semesters. The results underscore the need for an educational environment that champions growth over mere perfection. Prioritizing stress management, self-reflection, and goal setting is paramount. Furthermore, specialized support is vital to cater to students' shifting needs as they advance academically.

Abstract

This study explores the lived experiences of a science teacher implementing English Medium Instruction (EMI) in an Indonesian Islamic elementary school. Amid the global push for EMI, it examines the often-overlooked intersection of pedagogical, linguistic, and cultural-religious pressures faced by educators in such unique contexts. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study analyzes data from a semi-structured interview to understand the teacher’s challenges and meaning-making processes. Findings reveal three key themes: (1) the teacher’s daily experience as a constant balancing act between delivering science content and teaching in English; (2) the navigation of significant linguistic, pedagogical, and emotional challenges; and (3) the intentional effort to reconcile English instruction with Islamic values, framing EMI as a means to cultivate a “Global Muslim” identity. The study argues that the teacher functions as an intuitive, culturally responsive agent, employing strategies like translanguaging to bridge global educational demands and local cultural values. The study concludes that effective EMI implementation in culturally diverse settings must go beyond focusing solely on language proficiency. It calls for policies and professional development that support teachers in their complex roles as cultural mediators. These insights have implications for designing context-sensitive educational programs that empower teachers working at the intersection of global and local educational expectations.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) questions in fostering critical thinking among EFL learners in a Listening for Academic Purposes (LAP) class. While academic listening inherently involves cognitive processes such as inference, evaluation, and analysis, EFL instruction often focuses on lower-order comprehension tasks. To address this gap, the study implements HOTS-based questioning strategies within a Classroom Action Research (CAR) framework, promoting reflective teaching and continuous improvement. The research was conducted with six intermediate EFL students over two cycles, incorporating academic audio materials, structured HOTS questions, and student-centered discussions. Data were collected through observation checklists, student reflection sheets, and pre- and post-tests. Findings indicate that students initially struggled with higher-order questions but showed significant improvement in both critical thinking and listening performance after receiving appropriate scaffolding and practice. The post-test results and classroom observations revealed increased engagement, deeper analysis, and more thoughtful responses. This study concludes that integrating HOTS questions into LAP instruction can effectively enhance critical thinking skills in EFL learners. It also highlights the value of reflective teaching practices in adapting instructional strategies to meet learner needs. Implications are offered for language teachers, curriculum designers, and future researchers aiming to enrich listening pedagogy through critical thinking development.

Abstract

Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan pembelajaran kosakata bahasa Inggris yang menyenangkan dan mudah dipahami kepada anak-anak di Panti Asuhan Graha Baiturrahmah, Banjarmasin. Analisis kebutuhan awal menunjukkan bahwa 34 anak (27 siswa sekolah dasar dan 7 siswa sekolah menengah pertama) memiliki tingkat penguasaan tata bahasa dan kosakata bahasa Inggris yang masih rendah. Permasalahan ini perlu ditangani untuk memperkuat kemampuan dasar bahasa Inggris mereka sekaligus meningkatkan motivasi belajar. Program ini dilaksanakan dalam dua kali pertemuan dengan menggunakan model service-learning interaktif yang melibatkan dosen dan mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Metode yang diterapkan meliputi observasi awal, pengembangan lembar kerja yang sesuai dengan usia peserta, serta pelaksanaan sesi pembelajaran secara langsung. Pendekatan pembelajaran mengintegrasikan permainan edukatif, media visual, lagu, dan praktik percakapan sederhana sebagai upaya menggantikan metode pembelajaran monoton yang sebelumnya dialami anak-anak. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan yang signifikan dalam pemahaman kosakata bahasa Inggris dasar serta tingkat partisipasi aktif anak-anak. Penggunaan aktivitas pembelajaran yang menarik dan berpusat pada peserta didik mampu meningkatkan perhatian, kepercayaan diri, dan kemauan untuk berkomunikasi menggunakan bahasa Inggris sederhana. Program ini berhasil meningkatkan keterampilan kosakata bahasa Inggris anak-anak panti asuhan sekaligus memperkuat kompetensi akademik dan sosial mahasiswa yang terlibat. Temuan ini menunjukkan efektivitas model service-learning yang memberikan manfaat ganda dalam kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat.
