Abstract

This study studied how pre-service teachers without English training taught young learners at SD Antasari Medan, Indonesia. The qualitative descriptive study comprised six PGSD pre-service teachers who volunteered to teach English without formal English training. Classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis formed the basis for thematic analysis. The results demonstrated that teachers' general pedagogical skills helped them build pleasant learning spaces by greeting students, asking questions, motivating them, and planning Indonesian-English transitions. Teachers employed repetition, modelling, songs, pictures, gestures, and online resources to engage and instruct children. Due to their first language, pupils had problems reading, spelling, writing, and pronouncing words, and classroom management and evaluation were still poor. Transferable educational abilities helped, but they couldn't replace linguistic expertise. The study highlights the importance of focused professional development, improved instructional tools, and institutional support for primary school English teaching. The results also suggest that teacher education programs should better prepare non-English teachers for English instruction and encourage reflective practice. Comprehensive and longitudinal studies should examine non-specialist teaching's long-term consequences.

Abstract

This study investigates how EFL students use English podcasts and their perceptions of the impact of using podcasts in developing their listening skills. By using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation with five students of the English Education Department at Zainul Hasan Genggong Islamic university, Probolinggo. The findings reveal that students used English podcasts as a flexible learning medium to practice listening anytime and anywhere. Students engaged in several listening activities, such as replaying the audio, focusing on difficult parts, and selecting podcast topics based on their interests. Students viewed English podcasts as an effective learning medium to support listening practice, increase motivation, and help them become more familiar with spoken English. The benefits of using English podcasts include improving listening comprehension, increasing learning motivation, providing opportunities for repeated listening practice, and helping students become more accustomed to authentic English pronunciation and expressions. Thus, it can be concluded that English podcasts serve as an effective medium to support the development of EFL students’ listening skills through exposure to authentic spoken English.
