Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of demotivation in essay writing among pre-service English teachers at UIN Palangka Raya. Academic writing is often perceived as difficult by EFL learners due to limited vocabulary, weak grammar, and challenges in organizing ideas, which reduce students’ confidence (Baehaqi, 2023). Moreover, even teachers tend to avoid academic writing because of insufficient knowledge and low confidence (Qamariah et al., 2023). Using a qualitative phenomenological design (Moustakas, 1994), data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten students who had completed essay writing courses and analyzed through epoche, phenomenological reduction, imaginative variation, and synthesis of meanings and essences. The findings revealed seven themes of demotivation: language-related anxiety, unclear instruction and passive teaching style, loss of autonomy and relevance gap, time pressure and preparation gap, class format and timing issues, coping strategies, and supportive teaching as motivator. Both internal and external factors contributed to demotivation, yet students managed to cope through peer collaboration, self-regulation, and online resources, while supportive teaching emerged as a key factor in restoring motivation. This study contributes to the understanding of demotivation in EFL essay writing and underscores the importance of empathetic, autonomy-supportive, and process-oriented teaching practices in sustaining student engagemen.

Abstract

Purpose: This study describes the implementation of a multimodal approach to enhance English vocabulary learning among fourth-grade students at a private Islamic elementary school in Palangka Raya. Method: A descriptive qualitative design was employed. Data were collected through classroom observations, student worksheets, reflection questionnaires, and documentation. Three worksheet types assessed vocabulary mastery, while observations and questionnaires explored student engagement. Practical Applications: Findings provide pedagogical insights for teachers designing interactive, multisensory English instruction that accommodates diverse learning styles and promotes active participation in primary education. Conclusion: The multimodal approach significantly improved students' vocabulary understanding, engagement, and enthusiasm. Integrating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modes creates meaningful, enjoyable learning experiences, supporting effective vocabulary acquisition for young EFL learners.

Abstract

Students at MTs Hidayatul Insan experience difficulties in understanding spoken English due to conventional listening instruction that provides limited visual support and low engagement. To address this issue, a community service program was implemented using digital animation integrated with games, dialogues, and role-playing activities. The program aimed to integrate digital animation media and interactive teaching methods into English listening instruction while encouraging student participation and classroom engagement. Participants were ninth-grade students at MTs Hidayatul Insan. Data were collected through classroom observations, student feedback, and documentation and were analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that digital animation provided visual and auditory support that encouraged students’ engagement with listening materials and promoted classroom participation. Furthermore, games, dialogues, and role-playing activities encouraged active participation, interaction, and meaningful language use. Overall, students demonstrated positive responses, high enthusiasm, and active involvement throughout the learning activities. The program demonstrates that the integration of digital animation media and interactive teaching methods can create a more engaging environment for English listening instruction in EFL classrooms.
