Abstract

Attention of students is an important aspect of effective learning since it directly determines comprehension, memory and classroom participation. But focus is also an issue as it is easy to lose track with distractions, mental exhaustion and the repetitive ways of teaching. The purpose of this study was to determine the causes of inattention among 7th grade students of SMP Negeri 19 Surabaya in the 2024-2025 academic year. A sample of 33 students was used through completion of questionnaires and five students were used in semi-structured interviews to learn more about their lived experiences. The thematic analysis showed that the lapses of attention were not consistent but were always situational, with noisy peers, lack of clarity when explaining the concepts to the students, and fatigue being the most prevalent reasons. Students used to deal with losing focus by doodling, chatting or switching seats or making personal notes. The results show that the attention depends not only on the internal state of students but also on the classroom ecology and the quality of instruction. In theory, this research expands the knowledge on the maintenance of attention by autonomy-supportive environments. In practice, it implies that educators can make their classes more focused by incorporating interactive instruction, gamified learning, and brief brain-break exercises to establish dynamic and psychologically supportive learning environments.

Abstract

This study focuses on how the teacher manages learning media in English classes by comparing the teacher's reflective practices and the contents of teaching modules as official guides. The background of this study departs from the gap between the creativity of the teacher in the classroom and the administrative approach that is reflected in the learning documents. This study uses a qualitative case study design to describe in depth the practice of learning media management in schools. The data collected through in-depth interviews with teacher and document analysis of teaching modules. These two types of data used thematic analysis by applying triangulation methods to ensure the validity of the findings and reinforce the interpretation of the results. The results show that teacher actively choose and modify the media to be more interesting and in accordance with the ability of students, while also preparing alternatives when faced with technical obstacles. In contrast, the teaching module displays only standard media without reflection on their effectiveness or barriers to use. These findings indicate that teacher practice is more innovative than the content of teaching modules that are procedural. The research discussion emphasizes the need to integrate teacher's practical reflections into learning documents so that planning becomes more adaptive, contextual, and responsive to student needs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the English Day program at SMPN 19 Surabaya as a medium for introducing English vocabulary in context. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through interviews with one English teacher directly involved in this program. The results show that the English Day program is conducted regularly from Tuesday to Thursday and contributes positively to the development of students’ English language skills, especially in terms of vocabulary mastery and speaking skills. Teacher observed that students became more confident when the material presented was relevant to their daily lives. However, obstacles encountered included low students’ participation, lack of motivation, and limited confidence. To optimize this program, teachers suggested increasing the frequency and variety of activities, rewarding students who play an active role, and involving students in planning the English Day program so that it can develop well and become a sustainable school culture. This study also provides input for schools and teachers in the process of optimizing contextual English language learning program. The findings of this study also state that contextual and student-centered learning activities are very important to support the teaching of learning, especially vocabulary.
