Abstract

Although many studies have explored teacher questioning strategies (TQS) in EFL classrooms, only some studies have been conducted in EFL online classes in a vocational high school context. This study aims to shed the EFL online classroom practices regarding using first language and teacher's questioning strategy. To this end, a qualitative case study was conducted at one public vocational school in Karawang, West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through Zoom recordings for four sessions and classroom observation. Additionally, follow-up interviews were conducted after the classes. The data were analysed with thematic analysis. The findings revealed bilingual classrooms with teachers adopting the first language to build rapport, ice-breaking, and grammar explanation. The teachers also adopted various TQS: rephrasing, repetition, simplification, and decomposition. The findings confirm the roles of teachers' questioning strategies to improve students' engagement. This engagement contributes to students' understanding, resulting in enhanced learning effectiveness. Therefore, teachers need to strengthen their awareness of their questioning abilities to optimise the teaching and learning experience in the classroom.

Abstract

Needs analysis is essential for developing a curriculum and teaching materials. Integration of technology in courses provides a supportive environment for learners across a wide range of courses. However, the needs analysis on the technology-integrated Basic English Grammar course learning is insufficient. This report aims to determine students' needs for studying Basic English Grammar courses through technology integration. For this purpose, the researchers used a descriptive qualitative design by distributing questionnaires. Twenty-four students completed the questionnaire, and the researchers recruited several students for interviews. The results of this study reveal students' expectations for technology-integrated assignments, such as submitting writing caption chores to Instagram, with a 48 per cent success rate. The technology-integrated Basic English Grammar course learning presences depict the most commonly used technologies such as YouTube, Instagram, the Quiz app, Google Classroom, Webbing, and e-Books. The researchers identified the lack of internet connection and an overabundance of information that perplexes students—this suggests the necessity to provide training to cope with the technological challenges of learning Basic English Grammar. The study proposes a teaching-learning situation in the Basic English Grammar course with technology integration as learning activities materials in the syllabus so that the teachers as the curriculum makers can develop the curriculum according to the needs of students. This report highlights that lecturers and universities perform periodic assessments of their students' needs as a basis for developing a curriculum with these reflective needs. In addition, the pedagogical implications for technology-integrated tools in the Basic English Grammar course are discussed.

Abstract

Because of its emphasis on superimposing virtual information on top of real environments, augmented reality (AR) technology in education has emerged as a cutting-edge and promising field in both research and practice. This sets learning in a different context from traditional learning and opens up a whole new creative realm for learning.. The gap between teaching methods and the technological environment is increasing as a result of students' disinterest and low motivation when using traditional teaching approaches as well as teachers' reluctance to implement learning with technology. The lack of knowledge and ability of teachers at SDN Larangan 5, Tangerang City in the use and use of integrated technology in classroom teaching is still limited, especially for Augmented Reality (AR) technology, so boredom and lack of variety in the disclosure of their teaching materials often occur, which has an impact on learning outcomes. which is not optimal. This community service activity aims to achieve knowledge transfer by socializing learning content by utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) technology using a smartphone or tablet which will later be used to see and observe objects from the markers that have been provided. This activity uses the Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) method with three core stages of the CBPAR action cycle, namely: planning, implementation and evaluation. And the results of the analysis of this activity state that there has been an increase in knowledge and interest regarding the use of technology, especially Augmented Reality (AR) technology which is included in learning activities with analysis results of 50%.

Abstract

This community service program was conducted at Madrasah Aliyah/Pondok Pesantren Al-Mansyuriyah, Tangerang, to provide students with structured experience in English news writing and digital publication through blogs. The program responded to three main partner needs: limited experience in structured English news writing, limited use of blogs for publication, and the need to strengthen students’ digital literacy and writer identity. The activity was designed as a participatory and practice-based training program through three workshops: EFL News Writing, Blogging for EFL News Writing, and English Journal Writing. The evaluation used a pre-survey, a post-survey, observation, and documentation of student blog posts. The pre-survey involved 46 students; 31 students (67.4%) had written English news articles, but 42 students (91.3%) had never used blogs or written blog posts. The post-survey involved 45 students; all respondents (100%) reported that they understood ethical blog publication, and 42 students (93.3%) reported that they could use blogs, images, links, and videos to support their writing. The program produced six student blog posts on pesantren activities, National Santri Day, Teacher’s Day, new student admission, and literacy events. These findings indicate that blog-based genre pedagogy can provide an authentic medium for introducing EFL news writing, digital publication, ethical awareness, and students’ emerging writer identity. Further mentoring is needed to evaluate and improve the linguistic accuracy, news structure, and multimodal quality of students’ writing.

Abstract

This study explores Indonesian EFL student teachers’ experiences of learning to write news articles through blogging in a Journalism course. The study was motivated by the need to provide meaningful and genre-based writing practice for EFL student teachers, who often face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing information, meeting genre expectations, and writing for authentic aences. Employing a qualitative case study design, the study involved twenty undergraduate student teachers from a private Islamic university in Tangerang, Indonesia; all participants completed an online quetaire, and five volunteers joined follow-up semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire data were alysed descriptively, while the interview data were examined thematically. The findings indicate that blogging supported regular writing practice, helped students understand news text structure, enouraged clearer organization of headlines, leads, and supporting details, and increased engagement by allowing students to publish and share their work. Blogging also promoted peer interaction and selfevaluation because students could read, compare, and comment on one another’s posts. However, some paticpants eprienced challenges related to technical blogging skills, uncertainty about writing standards, limited peer feedback, and discomfort with public online publication. The study concludes that blogging can serve as a useful platform for EFL news writing when it is supported by explicit istrucion, relevant tasks, clear assessment criteria, structured feedback, and ethical awareness in using digital and AI-driven tools.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers support vocabulary learning beyond formal classroom instruction. Existing studies have mostly examined learners' autonomous use of AI tools,while the teacher's role in mediating AI through everyday instructional planning remains under-theorized. This conceptual paper proposes a teacher-centered framework that explains how informal AI-mediated planning can enhance EFL vocabulary instruction. Synthesizing vocabulary acquisition theory, teacher cognition, learner engagement, and digital pedagogy, the framework links teacher decision-making to informal AI-supported planning, pedagogical mediation, learner engagement, and vocabulary development. The framework positions AI as a planning resource whose instructional value depends on teachers' professional judgment rather than as an independent instructional agent. The model provides a foundation for future empirical research and practical guidance forpedagogically grounded AI integration in vocabulary instruction.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has opened up new opportunities to improve the efficiency of the learning process, particularly in terms of how teachers can prepare teaching materials more innovatively and efficiently. However, the use of AI technology in education still faces several challenges, primarily due to teachers' limited digital literacy. The purpose of this Community Service (PKM) activity is to help PKBM Maleo teachers improve their digital competency by teaching them how to use AI applications, specifically ChatGPT, when preparing lessons. In this activity, Participatory Action Research (PAR) is the approach method used in this activity. PAR supports active partner participation in every step of the process, such as problem identification, program planning, training implementation, evaluation, and reflection. The training activity was held in January 2026 with 14 teachers participating, with the results of the activity evaluation carried out using pre-test and post-test methods to measure the level of participants' understanding of the material provided. The pre-test results showed a significant increase in participant understanding, with an average score of 97.14, while the post-test results showed an increase to 85.7% to 100%. The results of this PKM activity demonstrate that AI training with ChatGPT can help teachers improve their digital literacy skills and better prepare learning materials. It is hoped that this activity will encourage the wise and productive use of artificial intelligence technology in learning in non-formal schools.
