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

This study examined the impact of high learning intensity on the speaking performance of EFL students with different learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The study involved the 129 selected students from Computer Study Program, Bumigora University through a total sampling technique. The instruments were the VARK questionnaire identifying the participants’ learning styles, a learning intensity questionnaire assessing their learning intensity, and a speaking performance test evaluating their fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Data were analyzed by using One-Way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests to determine differences among the groups. The findings revealed significant differences in speaking performance across the three learning styles with F value 59.967, Sig. value 0.000 < 0.05. Kinesthetic learners demonstrated the highest mean score of 82.16), significantly outperforming visual learners’ mean score of 77.09, and auditory learners’ mean score of 70.80. Post-hoc analysis confirmed that kinesthetic learners performed significantly better than auditory learners with mean difference is 11.364, Sig. value 0.000 < 0.05, and visual learners’ mean difference is 5.069, Sig. value 0.000 < 0.05. The visual learners also outperformed auditory learners with mean difference is 6.295, Sig. value 0.000 < 0.05. These results suggested that the kinesthetic learners benefited most from the high-intensity learning environments, achieving better speaking performance. This study showed the importance of considering learning styles in designing EFL learning curriculum. The findings emphasize the need for integrating kinesthetic activities into instructional practices to maximize speaking performance, particularly in high-intensity learning contexts.

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

Automated writing evaluation (AWE) tools have been extensively used in foreign language writing classrooms, and their use has been progressively expanding recently. The study investigates an overview of Grammarly’s Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE). The research employed a quasi-experimental, comparative design with convenience sampling to assess the effects of Grammarly on the automated writing evaluation and self-editing of 56 administrative officers. The findings demonstrate that Grammarly’s AWE editing groups produced many better-written outputs. Grammarly’s AWE editing and self-editing experimental groups outperformed the control groups that did not engage in Grammarly’s AWE software. The level and complexity of the impact articles written by experimental groups are much more significant. The comparison was made between automated and non-automated editing. It demonstrates the existence of a considerable advantage for AWE editing. There were statistically significant changes in favor of the post-test between the pretest and post-test mean scores for both groups. These outcomes may be clarified with the software’s contribution. There is no difference between the experimental groups that are statistically significant. This result corresponds with whether there is a substantial difference in the effects on the writings of Grammarly’s AWE and self-editing experimental groups.
