Abstract

Background: EFL teaching in Indonesian urban and rural schools have been experiencing persistent challenges due to linguistic, cultural, geographical and resources differences. However, these conditions have not been portraited from ecological persepctive of agency. Therefore, this study examines EFL teacher agency and instructional problem-solving in urban and rural Indonesian classrooms Methodology: This mixed-method study involves 129 EFL instructors (85 from rural schools, 44 from urban schools) who completed a survey, and 35 submitted reflective journals. Quantitative data were assessed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were evaluated through thematic analysis. Findings: Both urban and rural EFL teachers faced similar classroom issues like low motivation, vocabulary gaps, and speaking anxiety, though rural teachers linked them to limited resources and urban teachers to distractions and pressure. Urban teachers showed stronger and more consistent agency, especially in autonomy, professional growth, and future goals, while rural teachers drew on deep personal motivation but were often hindered by local challenges. Conclusion: The study shows that teachers’ ecological past experiences, present conditions, and future goals shaped how they solved problems. Rural teachers relied on local resources and flexible strategies, while urban teachers used creative, student-centered methods to build autonomy and global skills, pointing to the need for context-specific support and policies that empower teacher-led innovation. Originality: This study offers how teacher agency is lived out in the everyday problem-solving of EFL classrooms, not just in teachers’ beliefs or intentions. By comparing rural and urban contexts in Indonesia, it reveals how agency looks different across settings and highlights the creativity and resilience of teachers, especially in resource-challenged schools.

Abstract

Background: This research presents a case study on the valuable contribution of corpus linguistics to English instruction with an environmental focus, aiming to raise environmental awareness among students. The study explores the role of corpus linguistics as an effective tool for teaching English in the context of comprehending and discussing environmental issues. Methodology: To achieve this, the research utilizes the News on the Web (NOW) corpus to identify common vocabulary in environmental texts. The study was conducted with a group of 13 students in a Specialized Listening and Speaking class, with an intermediate level of English proficiency. The research was conducted over three terms. Initially, students were provided with 75 words from the News on the Web (NOW) corpus, complete with definitions and example sentences. Subsequently, they were tasked with writing three sentences for each word and memorizing their usage within an environmental context. Finally, the students were tested by having to provide talks on 15 randomly selected words. Findings: The research findings indicate that 10 students were able to proficiently use 60.51% of the environmental words, while three students encountered difficulties in using these terms within the environmental context. Seven students demonstrated their ability to connect sentences coherently, utilizing proper grammar and pronunciation.  Conclusion: This research suggests that most students successfully integrated environmental lexical items into their speaking, showcasing proficiency in grammar and pronunciation. However, most of the students (11 out of 13) require further support in structuring their speech cohesively. Rather than constructing a coherent narrative, they often employ words in isolation. Originality: This underscores the importance of using corpus-based methods to provide relevant vocabulary and fostering the skills necessary for constructing well-structured and cohesive speeches.

Abstract

Background Politeness is a key element of communication that reflects cultural identity, social values, and interpersonal ethics. In both Indonesia and Uzbekistan, politeness plays a crucial role in maintaining harmony and respect, yet it is realized differently due to variations in cultural norms and interactional styles. Methodology This study employs a linguo-pragmatic comparative approach based on Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and Goffman’s concept of face. Data were collected through natural observations, recorded conversations, and questionnaires with 120 participants from Indonesia and Uzbekistan. The analysis focused on verbal and nonverbal expressions of politeness in daily communication, marketplace interactions, and hospitality situations. Findings The results show that Indonesian speakers tend to use negative politeness strategies emphasizing moderation, indirectness, and hierarchical respect. In contrast, Uzbek speakers prefer positive politeness strategies characterized by expressiveness, warmth, and repeated offers. Both cultures regard politeness as a reflection of communal and moral values, although they differ in the pragmatic realization and social intensity of politeness. Conclusion Politeness in both societies serves as a tool for sustaining harmony and social cohesion. The study confirms that Brown and Levinson’s theory remains relevant but must be contextualized within Asian collectivist pragmatics to fully capture the moral and relational dimensions of politeness in Muslim-majority societies. Originality This research offers one of the first comparative linguo-pragmatic analyses of Indonesian and Uzbek politeness, contributing new insights into intercultural Communication, pragmatic competence, and culturally responsive language education.
