Abstract

This study aims to investigate how EFL teachers decide on and adapt teaching strategies for young learners in ELT classrooms and explore strategies teachers use to encourage independent language learning. The research was conducted as a case study in an academic English course in Batam and involved three experienced EFL teachers. Data collection methods included observation checklists, semi-structured interviews, and analysis of lesson plans. Descriptive analysis was applied to observation checklists and document reviews, while thematic analysis was used for interview data. The findings underscore the importance of flexible teaching methods that emphasize student engagement and align instructional activities with learning goals. They highlight the necessity of customizing teaching strategies to students' backgrounds and interests and efficiently utilizing classroom resources to promote active learning and enhance educational outcomes in EFL contexts, thereby fostering autonomous learning among students. In conclusion, effective EFL teaching involves integrating student engagement, active learning strategies, customized teaching approaches, and adequate classroom resources. The implications stress the importance of a holistic approach to EFL learning that prioritizes student engagement, active and independent learning, effective technology use, and continuous professional development for EFL teachers

Abstract

Team-based project (TBP) has been implemented in some universities to encourage students to be creative and motivated to develop some projects. However, not all EFL teachers in higher education can effectively apply TBP in generating the projects, including English instructional tools for young learners developed by EFL pre-service teachers. This study examines the EFL pre-service teachers' perspectives on using TBP in the contexts of how English lesson plans are developed, their creativity, motivations, and learning opportunities in the primary school teacher education program (PSTEP). The participants of this study are EFL pre-service teachers of PSTEP in one of the reputable private universities in Jakarta, Indonesia, who attended an English Learning in Primary Schools course in the second semester. This study uses a mixed methods design for collecting data from the survey and data from interviews. The results showed that EFL pre-service teachers had positive perceptions of using TBP in developing English lesson plans. The results also demonstrated that EFL pre-service teachers’ creativity, motivation, and learning opportunities, qualitatively increased. Thus, this study recommends that EFL pre-service teachers continually work in groups to discuss and share their critical ideas with their teammates to produce English lesson plans as projects.

Abstract

This study investigates the Willingness to Communicate (WTC) among Indonesian master's students in an English Education program, addressing a significant gap in the literature that has traditionally focused on high school and undergraduate levels. Understanding WTC at the graduate level is crucial, as these students are often expected to demonstrate advanced language skills and effective communication in professional contexts. By focusing on graduate students, this research aims to explore the level of WTC among Indonesian master’s students majoring in English education and the factors that influence it.  Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from students at a public university in East Java using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews.  Findings reveal that these students exhibit a high level of WTC, largely driven by self-confidence, low anxiety, and strong motivation. The study highlights the significant role of early language learning experiences and supportive learning environments in shaping WTC. Despite its contributions, limitations include a small sample size and a short data collection period, which may impact the generalizability. The implications of this research suggest the need for more tailored pedagogical strategies that enhance communicative confidence in advanced language learners, with recommendations for future research focusing on larger, longitudinal studies.

Abstract

Developing language skills is a must for being proficient in any language for successful communication which is one of the most sought-after soft skills in the world today. Given the poor English proficiency of Bangladeshi students, this study investigated the status of listening skills, one of the vital primary language skills, in classroom practices and testing systems at the secondary level in Bangladesh. In this mixed methods research, twelve teachers from different secondary level schools and seventy students from two schools in Jashore district, Bangladesh were surveyed with structured questionnaires. Moreover, semi-structured interview sessions were conducted with six teachers. Simultaneously, the contents of the textbook 'English for Today' (for Classes Nine and Ten), and the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination question papers were also analyzed. The overall findings of this study revealed that listening skills did not have adequate attention and necessary importance in the textbook contents, classroom teaching-learning processes, and testing systems. The existing teaching-learning practices have substantially failed to impart optimum English proficiency, especially listening skills to the students. Therefore, this research recommends the incorporation of listening skills into classroom activities and testing systems proportionately.

Abstract

Violence, bullying, and crime in schools have become prevalent issues in Indonesia, with the government and educational institutions actively working to prevent these behaviors. Peace values, which can be taught through textbooks, play a crucial role in this effort. Despite the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka, no research has explicitly examined the representation of peace values in the English textbooks published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture, Research, and Technology. The study investigates the representation of peace values in the English for Nusantara textbook for Junior High Schools. Using Critical Discourse Analysis by Fairclough, the study found that the textbook represents three types of peace values, textually and visually: inner peace, social peace, and peace with nature. However, these values are still represented disproportionately. In practice, this research can be used for English teachers in selecting, designing, and evaluating learning materials which represent the peace values suitably to students. Apart from that, it could be a reference for book authors to develop materials which are balanced in presenting peace values according to Indonesian students' requirements. In addition, this study can be an alternative for the government in curricula design and evaluation.

Abstract

The use of social media in human life recently is such normal direct interaction including in English language teaching. Politeness strategies are essential in social communication to keep convenient connections. This study aims to examine how politeness strategies are used in increasingly complex situations, combining social media and the pedagogical context of multiple members’ character, specifically in an EFL class WhatsApp group, and note any effects on students’ language acquisition. This research employs a qualitative methodology with a precisely descriptive case study procedure. The data in this study consists of the last two months’ WhatsApp group chats centered on English learning, specifically examining the usage of politeness methods as well as the results of a focused group discussion (FGD) involving six English as a Foreign Language (EFL) randomly selected students who are members of the WhatsApp group. The result shows that students use positive and negative politeness strategies during the WhatsApp conversation. It enhances their English language learning motivation, critical thinking skills, vocabulary enrichment, writing improvement, and raising awareness of English grammar skills. Therefore, applying politeness strategies in WhatsApp instructional conversations is advantageous in preventing the failure of effective communication during the learning process.

Abstract

Traditional views of leadership often associate strong leadership with directness, decisiveness, and dominance, which are stereotypically coded as masculine while perceiving empathy and collaborative orientation–qualities commonly associated with femininity–as less compatible with effective leadership. However, contemporary research demonstrates the increasing importance of empathy in effective leadership, particularly during crisis situations. This study explores the persuasive strategies employed by New Zealand’s former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in her speeches following the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study applies discourse analysis to six transcripts of speeches by Jacinda Ardern to identify discourse patterns that demonstrate her persuasive strategies and examined how these patterns function in crisis communication. The findings revealed three critical elements of Ardern’s persuasive strategies: combining transparency and compassion to foster trust, demonstrating clarity and decisiveness to establish authority, and using motivational and forward-looking discourse to inspire collective action. These elements demonstrate how Ardern’s empathetic communication helped build trust and encourage compliance, while her directive and decisive language facilitated actionable resolution, which enabled the nation’s swift recovery. By critically challenging persistent gender stereotypes in leadership that frame empathy and decisiveness as mutually exclusive traits, this study underscores the transformative potential of empathetic leadership in managing crise and advances gender equity in leadership discourse.

Abstract

While there is a growing body of research on the role of ChatGPT in English language teaching and learning, its application in diverse language education remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining how language instructors of non-English languages integrate ChatGPT into their teaching practices. Adopting a phenomenological case study approach, we explored the lived experiences and perceptions of 13 language instructors at a Midwestern U.S. university. Participants were purposefully selected based on three criteria: (1) they taught their native language as a second or foreign language in higher education; (2) they attended a workshop on ChatGPT facilitated by the research team; and (3) they were non-native English speakers who had used ChatGPT for their own English learning. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted one month after the workshop. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-step process. The analysis revealed how participants used ChatGPT to support language instruction and learning, the perceived benefits and challenges of ChatGPT in multilingual contexts, and evolving teacher roles in the era of AI. Findings underscore the need to expand ChatGPT’s multilingual capabilities and support educators in integrating AI responsibly and effectively. This study contributes practical insights into how AI tools can complement human instruction in diverse language classrooms and inform institutional support and policy development for AI integration in higher education.

Abstract

Coursebooks as one of the learning sources are important to meet the students’ needs, especially those that match with the current curriculum. The current curriculum in Indonesia is Merdeka Curriculum. Therefore, the value of Genre Based Approach (GBA) in the Merdeka curriculum in a 7th grade Junior High School English coursebook is examined. An adopted checklist consists of 25 items focused on the subjects and contents, skill and sub-skills, and practical consideration is used as the evaluation matrix. The result answers three research questions. First, the coursebook shows a variety of activities. The most frequent reading activity is “read and answer questions”. Followed by “read and fill the blanks'' which becomes almost the two fifth part from the whole reading activities. Next, “read descriptive text”, “read sentences'', and “read comic strips'' also appear in the coursebook for less than 10%. The other reading activities are “read procedure text”, “read and draw map”, and “read a descriptive text and answer a true or false statement” (5.8% for each). Then, the last are “read and underline”, “read and give checklist”, and “read and ask someone’s identity” with the smallest portion in the coursebook. Second, the genres that appear in the coursebook are descriptive, procedure, and persuasive text. Last, the result of whether the coursebooks are implementing Genre-based Approach in Merdeka curriculum standards or not, and the result from the first and second research questions show that the coursebook that has been analyzed is implementing Genre-based Approach in Merdeka curriculum standards.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the characteristics of MOOC-based instructional material for the flipped English speaking class  and the model of MOOC-based instructional materials for flipped English speaking class The researchers implemented the initial phase of qualitative research to achieve their objectives. The study focused on students in the English Language Education (ELE) Department at Indonesian Higher Education, as well as the ELE program's lecturers. The findings revealed that the MOOC-based materials for the flipped-English speaking class were a need analysis to be supportive, accommodating, goal-oriented, and focused on both fluency and accuracy. These materials were diverse, up-to-date, engaging, and motivating. They included both monologues and dialogues suitable for formal and informal contexts, and also incorporated tools relevant to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as WhatsApp and Edmodo. The proposed model for MOOC-based materials in the flipped-English speaking class emphasized the integration of key elements: goals, content, activities, venue, and media. The goal was to help learners become proficient in speaking by mastering content that included various topics, language uses, and genres. The model engaged students in nine activities: guessing I, identifying, searching, finding, guessing II, clarifying, evaluating, reflecting, and projecting. The recommended learning venues were both online (using platforms like WhatsApp and Edmodo) and offline (such as classrooms, language labs, and outdoor settings). For media, the model suggested using laptops, LCD projectors, and leaflets during the learning sessions.
