Abstract

This research explores the difficulties and the strategies faced by second-year students of the English Study Program at FKIP Universitas Riau in comprehending English journal articles. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed in this study, utilizing a sample of 77 fourth-semester students chosen through cluster random sampling. Data was collected through a questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale, designed to measure two variables: students' difficulties and strategies in comprehending journal articles. The results indicate that the main difficulties experienced by students include inability to use effective reading strategies, limited academic vocabulary, and lack of familiarity with the journal article format. Meanwhile, the strategy most used by students is Problem-Solving Strategies (PROB), followed by Global Reading Strategies (GLOB), and Support Strategies (SUP). These findings highlight that improving students’ mastery of academic vocabulary, familiarity with journal structures, and strategic reading skills is essential to enhancing their comprehension of academic texts.

Abstract

This study aims is to identify public speaking challenges which are mostly faced by pre-service English teacher’s at FKIP Universitas Riau during the English Students Conference (ESC). The ESC, which is part of the public speaking course aims to assess students' speaking skills in formal, academic settings.The method used was quantitative descriptive research, with data collected from 32 seventh-semester students through a validated questionnaire containing 40 items. Internal factors included linguistic and psychological aspects, while the learning environment included external aspects. The results of this study indicate that anxiety is the most common challenge, at a high level, while vocabulary was the highest challenge in linguistic aspects. Other psychological challenges were at a moderate level, such as lack of motivation, shyness, fear of making mistakes, and lack of self-confidence. Fluency, grammar, pronunciation, and comprehension are linguistic issues that are also at moderate level. External factors show minimal impact, with the lowest score coming from an unsupportive classroom environment and peers. In conclusion, psychological factors, especially anxiety, are the main challenges to effective public speaking performance. This highlights the need for targeted strategies focusing on anxiety management, building self-confidence, and creating a supportive learning environment.

Abstract

This study investigated students’ perceptions of difficulties in the listening section of the TOEFL among English Education students of FKIP Universitas Riau. The study aimed to identify which listening indicators were perceived as the most difficult by students. A descriptive quantitative method supported by interviews was employed. The participants consisted of 177 English Education students selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire adapted from Phillips’ (2001) TOEFL listening indicators and semi-structured interviews to support the quantitative findings. The results revealed that several listening indicators were perceived as highly difficult by the students. Indicators categorized as high difficulty included identifying speakers’ implied meanings, understanding idiomatic expressions, recognizing almost negative expressions, and distinguishing similar sounds. These findings indicate that students experienced significant challenges in comprehending implicit information and specific linguistic features in TOEFL listening tasks. The study suggests that greater instructional emphasis should be placed on these listening indicators to improve students’ listening comprehension skills.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the pedagogical challenges faced by English teachers in Teaching English for Young Learners (TEYL) in the context of an Islamic school. Qualitative research was employed with three English teachers from Grades 1, 3, and 6 at Al-Ulum Islamic School, Pekanbaru. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, and then analyzed thematically. The findings showed that they encountered various challenges, including differences in students’ abilities within a class, limited instructional time, heavy teaching workloads, lack of resources and professional training, difficulty in maintaining students’ motivation alongside participation, as well as curriculum-related obstacles. To address these issues, they adjusted their teaching by differentiating materials and activities, applying varied strategies and media, positioning stronger students as peer models, and modifying assessment practices to suit learners’ abilities. The implications that can be given from this research emphasize the importance of providing professional development opportunities in TEYL and also highlight the need for stronger institutional support for English teaching in Islamic school contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze teachers’ perceptions and implementation of differentiated instruction (DI) and to identify the key barriers and implications for improving DI within the Indonesian education system. The study adopted a systematic review approach based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles were retrieved from Scopus, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar using Boolean search operators. Of the 151 articles initially identified, 15 empirical studies published between 2022 and 2026 met the inclusion criteria. The selected studies were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that Indonesian teachers generally hold positive perceptions of differentiated instruction, recognizing its potential to address learner diversity, enhance student engagement, and promote inclusive learning. However, the implementation of DI remains inconsistent and largely superficial. Although content differentiation is widely implemented, process differentiation, product differentiation, and systematic diagnostic assessment receive considerably less attention. Major barriers to effective implementation include limited instructional time, large class sizes, inadequate learning resources, insufficient diagnostic assessment literacy, limited professional development opportunities, and varying levels of teacher readiness. This study contributes to the literature by synthesizing recent empirical evidence on teachers’ perceptions and implementation of differentiated instruction in Indonesia and highlighting priority areas for policy, teacher professional development, and future research.
