Abstract

This study revisits the perceptions of pre-service English teachers (PSETs) in Indonesia and Thailand on English as an International Language (EIL) concept. This topic under-study scrutinizes their beliefs about the EIL development and implementation, their exposure to diverse English varieties, and the cultural factors that influence their teaching approaches. Review of related literature and studies shows that there has been lack of comparative analysis between non-English-speaking countries regarding Indonesian dan Thai PSETs perception of EIL. This study, therefore, comprises the factors support and hinder the practice of English as an International Language (EIL) in Indonesia and Thailand and the PSETs in Indonesia and Thailand perceive the practice of English as an International Language (EIL) as the focuses understudy.This paper employs a qualitative research method comprised of interviews and observations to study the perspectives of the PSETs under-study. However, generalization of the phenomena will not be attempted as the limitation of the respondents for this study attempts the in-depth analysis of the perceived value on EIL teaching in Indonesia and Thailand. The study pursues a view PSETs as to convey the initial overview and comparison between two countries respecting the EIL practices.  This study focuses on 4 (four) PSETs from state high schools in Indonesia and Thailand. The study presents that while teachers acknowledge the global ownership of English, native-speaker norms still dominate assessment standards and curriculum design. Exposure to different English accents is recognized as beneficial, but challenges such as cultural resistance, resource limitations, and lack of real-life practice hinder effective EIL implementation. The findings suggest that systemic changes are needed in curriculum design, teacher training, and assessment methods to align with EIL principles. Future research should explore the long-term impact of EIL-based pedagogy and policy adaptations in non-English-speaking countries so that the practices can be positively beneficial for the implementation of EFL teaching in the context of non-native English-speaking countries.

Abstract

Kurikulum Merdeka pushes Indonesian secondary schools toward Student-Centered Learning (SCL), but classroom-level enactment does not always follow the policy script. This study examines that gap through a two-stage qualitative design: an exploratory observation-checklist mapping across eleven secondary schools in Batam, followed by an intensive case study of one classroom selected because it showed the sharpest contrast between strong lesson-plan compliance and weak student participation. Over a six-week period, data were generated through non-participant classroom observations, field notes, and semi-structured interviews with one EFL teacher and six students grouped into high-, moderate-, and low-motivation tiers, then analyzed using Bogdan and Biklen's code-families framework. The findings show that the teacher's lesson plan was rated highly compliant with SCL and Kurikulum Merdeka expectations, yet open-ended classroom tasks routinely broke down into extended silence. Foreign language anxiety_tied to limited vocabulary, fear of peer judgment, and unfamiliarity with unscripted speaking, pushed students toward strategic silence, which the teacher managed by reverting to first-language (L1) mediation and more teacher-led questioning. These patterns should be read as evidence from one critical case rather than a general trend across Indonesian classrooms: they show that a lesson plan's alignment with SCL principles does not by itself guarantee student participation. Supporting learners through this gap is likely to depend on gradual vocabulary preparation, affective safety, and structured scaffolding, rather than treating teacher-led support as a pedagogical failure.
