Teachers' motivations and identities have been popular topics of discussion among researchers. What has been missing in the discussion, though, is the investigation of the motivations and identities of student teachers who studied at an EFL teaching program but were unmotivated to be teachers. Therefore, this study investigated this missing topic in the Acehnese context in Indonesia. Five student teachers participated in this study. To collect the data, a reflective journal and a semi-structured interview were used. Codes were written, and themes about the student teachers’ motivations and identities emerged. This study showed three key findings. First, the student teachers uninterested in teaching were affected by extrinsic motivations to study in an EFL teaching program. Second, the student teachers progressively accepted their identities as EFL student teachers and shaped their desired and undesired future career identities. Third, fears and hopes fluctuated along with feelings of uncertainty about their future identities.

: In the 21st century, digital literacy is deemed crucial for sustaining social life, especially in the realm of education. This significance extends to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, where students' language acquisition abilities are believed to thrive in a digitally literate environment. Despite its importance, research on the integration of digital literacy into EFL learning materials is scant. This study addresses this gap by investigating the presence of digital literacy in EFL learning materials in one junior high school in Jakarta. Utilizing a qualitative approach with content analysis, the researcher examined 33 learning materials from three English teachers, drawing on seven digital literacy components. The findings reveal a comprehensive incorporation of digital literacy components in all analyzed English learning materials. Functional skills emerged prominently, constituting 45% of occurrences, followed by critical thinking and problem-solving skills at 34%. The prevalence of these components is attributed to the predominant use of digital resources in crafting learning materials. Notably, digital literacy is most concentrated in the assignment component, followed by the content component, indicating that teachers effectively guide students in achieving learning goals through properly structured assignments that emphasize digital literacy. Overall, the study underscores the integral role of digital literacy in EFL education and highlights opportunities for enhancing students' skills in evaluating digital information and addressing challenges associated with digital technology.Keywords: Digital Literacy; English learning materials; junior high school

English grammar learning poses a significant challenge for teachers, particularly in countries characterized by linguistic and cultural diversity, such as Indonesia. Although English language learning, which inherently encompasses grammar, is compulsory in Indonesian junior high schools, students face difficulties due to the absence of engaging learning strategies. This descriptive qualitative research delved into the perspective and experiences of three Grade 10 teachers from two private high schools in Yogyakarta. The focus was on their awareness of students' difficulties in learning grammar, their perception of the challenges encountered by students in mastering grammar, and their effective teaching strategies aimed at assisting students in overcoming these challenges. The research was conducted through one-on-one, in-depth interviews with the participating teachers. This study revealed that teachers possess the awareness to identify their students' difficulties in learning grammar. In addition, the challenges faced by students primarily stem from their limited exposure to English and lack of motivation. To address these challenges, teachers employ effective strategies such as guided spoken sentence construction and the use of games. These strategies not only provide a structured approach to grammar learning but also make the process engaging and enjoyable for students. By acknowledging the unique needs of their students and utilizing effective teaching methods, teachers play a crucial role in facilitating the mastery of grammar skills.Keywords: EFL Teachers, Grammar, Awareness, Obstacles, Teaching Methods
