Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Critical Pedagogy in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) based on the perspectives of senior high school teachers in Palu, Indonesia, within the framework of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum. Using a qualitative research design, this study explores how teachers understand and apply key principles of Critical Pedagogy, such as dialogue, problem-posing, reflection and action (praxis), and the development of students’ critical awareness of social issues. Data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with three purposively selected EFL teachers. The findings reveal that the teachers have attempted to implement student-centered learning through classroom discussions, problem-solving tasks, and project-based learning connected to local contexts, including disaster awareness and community issues. However, several challenges were identified, including curriculum constraints, limited teaching resources, insufficient professional development opportunities, and students’ limited readiness for critical engagement. This study concludes that the effective integration of Critical Pedagogy in EFL classrooms in Eastern Indonesia requires context-sensitive teacher training, greater curricular flexibility, and stronger policy support to promote critical and socially responsive English language teaching.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Word Chain Game as a strategy to enhance vocabulary mastery among students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Utilizing a library research method with a qualitative descriptive approach, this research synthesizes findings from five recent studies conducted between 2018 and 2023. The results consistently indicate that the Word Chain Game is an effective tool for improving students’ vocabulary acquisition, engagement, and confidence in using new words. Teachers have applied both oral and written forms of the game, integrating it into thematic lessons to make vocabulary learning more contextual and enjoyable. Despite its advantages, some challenges remain, including time constraints, classroom management in large groups, and the need for alignment with curriculum goals. Nevertheless, the benefits—such as increased vocabulary retention, higher test scores, and reduced student anxiety—demonstrate the game’s pedagogical value. This study concludes that the Word Chain Game is a practical and engaging method for teaching vocabulary in EFL settings and recommends its inclusion in language teaching practices, with consideration given to proper adaptation and teacher training. Future research could explore integrating the game with digital tools to further enhance its effectiveness.

Abstract

This study investigates the types and frequencies of linguistic errors found in descriptive texts written by tenth-grade students of SMKN 5 Palu. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method to analyze students’ written work using the error taxonomy proposed by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982), which categorizes errors into omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. Data were collected from 32 students who completed a writing task focused on descriptive text production. The findings reveal a total of 278 errors across all samples, with misformation errors being the most prevalent (36.69%), followed closely by omission errors (35.25%). Addition errors accounted for 15.47%, while misordering errors represented 12.59% of the total errors. These results indicate significant challenges among students in applying correct grammatical structures, vocabulary, and sentence organization when writing descriptive texts. The study underscores the need for more focused instruction in grammar, vocabulary development, and writing practice to help students improve their descriptive writing skills. Additionally, the findings suggest that error analysis can serve as an effective diagnostic tool for identifying students’ writing difficulties and guiding targeted pedagogical interventions. Overall, this research contributes valuable insights into the nature of writing errors in Indonesian EFL classrooms and highlights the importance of tailored instructional approaches to enhance students’ writing competence.

Abstract

This study aims to explore English teachers’ perceptions of the Merdeka Curriculum and to examine its perceived impact on students’ English proficiency at SMPN 2 Palu. Specifically, the study seeks to understand how the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum influences classroom practices, student engagement, and language learning outcomes, as well as to identify the challenges faced by teachers during its implementation. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research investigated the experiences of three English teachers who had implemented the curriculum for more than one year. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and triangulated with students’ midterm English examination scores to enhance the validity of the findings. The results indicate that teachers perceive the Merdeka Curriculum as beneficial in promoting student-centered learning, increasing students’ speaking confidence, and encouraging collaborative learning. Nevertheless, several challenges were reported, including limited technological resources and difficulties in shifting from traditional teaching approaches. To address these issues, teachers adopted strategies such as differentiated instruction and peer tutoring. This study provides valuable insights into the influence of curriculum reform on English language teaching and offers recommendations for improving teacher training, resource availability, and curriculum implementation strategies.

Abstract

The Gane language, an indigenous language in South Halmahera, is at a critical stage of language shift, particularly among the younger generation. This study aims to document the patterns of Gane language use, identify the driving factors of its shift, and analyze the attitudes of senior high school students amidst this phenomenon. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with senior high school students, teachers, principals, and community leaders, as well as observations in school and social settings. The findings indicate that the use of the Gane language among students is significantly low, having lost its primary communicative domains to the dominance of Indonesian and Ternate Malay. The primary driving factors are the penetration of technology and social media, peer pressure that associates dominant languages with modernity, and the lack of economic value and prestige of the Gane language. Amidst this situation, a crucial paradox was discovered: students reject the use of the Gane language in practice, yet consciously express positive attitudes, admiration, and a strong desire to preserve it as a symbol of identity. This finding implies that revitalization strategies must be youth-centric, integrating formal school policies (curriculum) with informal, digital community-based movements that are relevant to their world.

Abstract

This research topic discusses the religious values ​​contained in a poem by analyzing the poems of the traditional ceremony of turun tanah (land descent) of the Aceh Besar community. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach and content analysis of the poems. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and audio-video recordings, then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that poems such as Marhaban, Tala'al Badru 'Alayna, Mahalluqiyamin, Ya Nabi Salam 'Alaika, Keu Aneuk Manyak, and Peutron Aneuk contain religious values ​​in the form of traditional rituals that serve as a medium for character education. The value of worship is evident in the poems of marhaban, shalawat, and prayers offered as a form of obedience to Allah and respect for the Prophet Muhammad. The value of ruhul jihad reflects the spirit of struggle inherited through the poem Tala'al Badru 'Alayna, which depicts the Prophet's journey of hijrah as a symbol of the struggle to establish Islam. The value of exemplary behavior is strengthened by depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a role model to be emulated in everyday life. The value of trust is evident in prayers that children grow into obedient individuals who are responsible to God, their parents, and society. Meanwhile, the value of sincerity is evident in the prayers and hopes offered by parents selflessly, solely for God's pleasure.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the representation of women’s existence in Fatima AlBanawi’s film Basma through the lens of Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminism. The film portrays the struggles of Basma, a woman living under the patriarchal social structure of Saudi Arabia, which restricts her choices and personal freedom. Using a descriptive qualitative method and content analysis, this research identifies dialogues, scenes, and visual symbols that correspond to Beauvoir’s key concepts: The Other, immanence transcendence, and the existential project. The findings reveal that Basma is initially positioned as The Other through familial subordination, bodily surveillance, and social moral expectations. She then experiences immanence as her mobility and decisions are controlled by her father and society. However, through growing self-awareness and acts of resistance, such as demanding education, refusing domestic confinement, and leaving home, Basma enters a phase of transcendence. Ultimately, through writing and expressing her desire to build her own path, she initiates an existential project that affirms her freedom as a conscious subject. This study concludes that Basma not only critiques patriarchal norms but also illustrates a woman’s existential awakening aligned with Beauvoir’s theoretical framework. These findings enrich contemporary Arab film studies and contribute theoretically to understanding how women construct their existence within restrictive cultural spaces.

Abstract

The rise of ChatGPT as a tool in language learning has created new opportunities, particularly in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, for enhancing students' speaking skills. Therefore, it is important to explore EFL students’ perspectives on the benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT to learn English speaking skills. To achieve the objectives of this research, the researcher used the systematic review method by reviewing 20 empirical articles published between 2023 and 2025, using Google Scholar. The findings of the analysis were classified into five main themes. The first three themes were related to the benefits of using ChatGPT to learn speaking: (1) ChatGPT might reduce students’ anxiety, (2) ChatGPT might enhance students’ motivation, (3) ChatGPT might enhance students’ learning flexibility. Meanwhile, the other themes were related to the challenges of using ChatGPT: (4) ChatGPT may not give students authentic interaction as a human, and (5) ChatGPT poses a risk of student over-reliance. Each theme is discussed and connected to the relevant literature, accompanied by practical solutions and recommendations for future research.
