Abstract

Every teacher has different style to teach their students. Therefore, this research investigates teaching style differences between a male and a female teacher, the development of the students’ learning style from teachers’ teaching style, and its contributions toward learning objectives. This descriptive qualitative research used observation, students’ response journal, field note, and video recording to collect the data. The researcher analyzed the data by using theory from (Grasha, 1996) for analyzing teaching style used by a male and a female teacher. Theory from (Kolb, 1984) was used to analyze learning style of the students. The result shows that there are no significant differences of teaching style used by a male and a female teacher. Converger, accomodator, and diverger are learning styles which are used by the students. The students who have converger and accommodator for their learning style have more active contributions in the classroom. Keywords: Teaching Style, Learning Objectives, Male Teacher, Female Teacher

Abstract

The Chinese Whisper game and the Question Students Have method can be used in teaching listening comprehension. This research aims to determine whether there is a significant difference in listening comprehension between students taught using the Chinese Whisper game and those taught using the Question Students Have method and decide which is better to improve listening comprehension. This research used a quantitative approach of quasi-experimental design by involving 45 students selected using the purposive cluster sampling technique in grade eight of junior high school in Baubau, Southeast Sulawesi. Data were obtained using a test. They were analyzed by applying three steps: descriptive analysis, normality test, and inferential analysis using the Wilcoxon test, Paired Sample test, and Mann-Whitney U test. The result indicated that students' listening comprehension improved after being taught using the Chinese Whisper and the Question Students Have method. The conclusion is that there is a significant difference in listening comprehension after those were applied. The Chinese Whisper game improves listening comprehension higher than the Question Students Have method.

Abstract

This current study aims to investigate how non-English department students use Machine Translation (MT) to learn English and to explore the students’ perceptions of using MT to learn English. This study employed mixed methods to obtain the data by distributing online questionnaires and interviews. Involving 80 non-English department students throughout Indonesia as the participants, this study found that students use MT to translate texts from Indonesian to English and vice versa, look up the meanings of English vocabulary, phrases, and sentences, and learn how to spell and pronounce unfamiliar words. The findings also showed that the students perceived the use of MT positively, highlighting that MT is relatively easy to use, MT enhance their language learning skills, and MT has positive effects on their language learning process. The findings provide implications and future research.

Abstract

Previous research has shown that school principals play a crucial role in supporting the success of English language teaching for young learners (TEYL) within the context of English as a second language (ESL). However, there has been limited research focusing on the role of principals in supporting the success of TEYL in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore, the objective of this study is to describe the role of private elementary school principals in Yogyakarta in the implementation of TEYL. This study is a case study conducted in two private elementary schools (ES) in Yogyakarta that have achievements in the field of English language education. The subjects of this study include the school principals, curriculum coordinators, English teachers, and staff members of ES A and B. The research instruments were developed based on the Principals’ Work Manual (Directorate of Educational Personnel Development for Elementary and Secondary Education, 2017) and were used to collect data through interviews and observations. The data analysis technique to be used in this research referred to Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The activities in data analysis are data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings indicate that the role of private elementary school principals in Yogyakarta in supporting TEYL encompasses several aspects. The aspects are curriculum implementation, student development, teacher professional development and involvement of educational staff, provision of infrastructure, fostering a positive academic culture and atmosphere, enhancing parental and community participation, and organizing additional programs aimed at improving the quality of teaching. The implications of this study suggest that school principals hold a strategic position in assisting teachers to optimize TEYL. Further research could explore the development of training programs for principals to support TEYL within the context of EFL. Keywords: principals, private elementary schools, TEYL, EFL

Abstract

This study investigates the difficulties faced by students in learning English grammar at Tunas Baru Jinseung Junior High School, driven by concerns over consistently low grammar performance despite years of formal instruction. English grammar plays a central role in language acquisition, yet students often struggle with core aspects such as tenses, articles, and prepositions structures that differ significantly from those in Bahasa Indonesia. The aim of this study is to identify grammar-related challenges, analyze the contributing linguistic and psychological factors, and evaluate the influence of teaching strategies. The research addresses three main questions: the specific grammar difficulties students face, factors influencing these challenges, and the role of teaching methods in student grammar comprehension and performance. A qualitative method was applied, using purposive sampling to select six students and two English teachers involved in grammar learning. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations over two months. Interviews provided in-depth perspectives from participants, while observations allowed the researcher to examine classroom practices and student engagement in real-time. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring issues and barriers in grammar learning. The results indicate that structural differences between English and Bahasa Indonesia, coupled with teacher-centered methods relying heavily on memorization, hinder students' ability to grasp and apply grammar effectively. Psychological factors such as anxiety and low motivation further contribute to these difficulties. The study highlights the need for more communicative and task-based teaching approaches, emphasizing practical use of grammar in meaningful contexts. A supportive learning environment is also essential to foster motivation and reduce anxiety.

Abstract

Abstract This study investigates speaking challenges among students and evaluates the effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in addressing these issues. Conducted at Andalusia Islamic School, the study involved 20 junior high school students. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected through direct observation and analyzed using SPSS version 20. The research identified key problems, including insufficient vocabulary, low self-confidence, and inadequate practice. Following the application of CLT, there was a notable improvement in students' speaking abilities, with average scores rising from 63 to 70. Significant enhancements were observed in pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. This study highlights the effectiveness of CLT in improving speaking skills and offers recommendations for additional support to further enhance student performance.
