Abstract

The instructional leadership at SDN Pelajau Baru plays a significant role in improving language teachers’ performance and the overall quality of language instruction through structured managerial strategies. This study highlights the implementation of various instructional leadership strategies, including the establishment of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), data-driven supervision, and participatory leadership approaches. The findings reveal that effective instructional leadership in this school is supported by the principal’s and teachers’ professional competence, digital literacy, and emotional intelligence. Nonetheless, the study also identifies key challenges such as excessive administrative workload and limited time for instructional supervision. Strengthening the capacity of school principals through intensive training and integrating supervision practices into PLC forums are recommended to address these issues. Overall, the research underscores that consistent and well-executed instructional leadership has a positive impact on enhancing language teachers’ motivation, professionalism, and the quality of language teaching in primary education.

Abstract

Writing is frequently regarded as the most challenging language skill for junior high school students to acquire. Many learners face difficulties in articulating their ideas in written form, often due to limited vocabulary, inadequate grammatical knowledge, and a lack of motivation. This Classroom Action Research was designed to enhance students’ writing proficiency through the integration of visual stimuli as an instructional technique. Conducted over two cycles with a cohort of 14 eighth-grade students at SMP Sultan Agung Batam, the study employed various instruments, including pre-tests, post-tests, classroom observations, and analysis of students’ written work. The findings revealed that visual stimuli significantly facilitated idea generation and led to improvements in both sentence construction and vocabulary usage. The students’ mean writing score rose from 52.86 in the pre-test to 67.64 in the post-test. These outcomes suggest that incorporating visual stimuli into writing instruction can serve as an effective pedagogical approach to strengthening students’ writing competence at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study examines the types and frequency of surface linguistic errors in English oral storytelling by junior high school students from the 3T (frontier, outermost, disadvantaged) region of Kupang Timur. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 15 students and analyzed through Dulay et al.’s Surface Strategy Taxonomy, with error analysis following Ellis’s framework: identification, description, explanation, and evaluation. The results show that omission errors were most frequent (47%), followed by addition (27%), misformation (20%), and misordering (6%). Frequent mistakes included the omission of “to be” verbs and possessive apostrophes, indicating limited mastery of basic English grammar in spoken form. These findings highlight the specific grammatical challenges faced by learners from remote, under-resourced areas. The study offers valuable implications for English language instruction, suggesting the need for targeted teaching strategies and curriculum development that address the unique needs of students in 3T regions. By focusing on an underrepresented group in Indonesian educational research, this study provides new insights into how linguistic background and educational access shape oral language proficiency, advocating for more inclusive and context-sensitive language teaching practices.

Abstract

This chapter explores how Kahoot! can be used as a tool for formative assessment in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. The chapter uses the key ideas of assessment, feedback and self-regulated learning to see how this platform aligns with the principles of effective teaching. The chapter argues that Kahoot! is great for increasing student motivation and giving teachers quick feedback to adjust their lessons. However, the chapter also highlights key challenges. The platform's feedback is often too simple, it cannot evaluate skills such as speaking or writing, and the focus on speed and competition can hinder deep thinking. To help teachers, the chapter presents a model called ‘Gamified Formative Assessment’ that shows how to use Kahoot!'s strengths while managing its weaknesses. The main conclusion is that Kahoot! is not effective on its own. Its true value depends on how a teacher thoughtfully and strategically uses it as a meaningful part of their overall assessment plan.

Abstract

This paper introduces a new perspective on how TikTok can be utilized to facilitate autonomous English vocabulary learning, offering an alternative to traditional pedagogical methods that often lack student engagement and practical relevance. Through a synthesis of previous studies and a review of key learning theories, this paper proposes a conceptual framework grounded in the assertion that TikTok serves as a valuable educational resource by integrating three foundational concepts: Vygotsky's social learning theory, Schmitt's vocabulary learning strategies, and Benson's theory of autonomous learning. In essence, TikTok's unique features such as its interest driven algorithm and authentic content, create an environment where students can engage in self-directed learning and apply strategic techniques for effective vocabulary acquisition. Therefore, an understanding of this theoretical synthesis can empower educators to guide students in transforming TikTok from a mere entertainment application into an intentional tool for language learning. This framework aims to provide educators with new insights for developing innovative pedagogies suited to the digital habits of contemporary students, while also establishing a foundation for future research.

Abstract

Lexical verbs like enhance and improve are crucial in academic writing, signaling change, development, and authorial stance. However, their use by native (L1) and non-native (L2) English writers remains underexplored. This comparative study investigates the frequency, grammatical patterns, and stance-related functions of these verbs in journal articles by L1 and L2 authors. Using AntConc and Partington et al.’s (2013) evaluative stance framework, the study analyzes syntactic and semantic usage. Results show that while both groups use the verbs correctly, L1 writers prefer abstract, passive, and nominalized structures that reflect disciplinary conventions and subtle evaluation. L2 writers, however, favor active constructions and concrete collocations, often linked to observable outcomes or instructional contexts. These differences reveal varied approaches to expressing stance and rhetorical positioning, suggesting that L1 writers demonstrate greater awareness of disciplinary norms. The study emphasizes the role of verb choice and syntactic form in academic identity construction and offers implications for academic writing instruction, particularly in supporting L2 writers’ engagement with disciplinary discourse.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of extensive reading and its impact on their understanding of narrative texts at a vocational high school in Sritanjung, Banyuwangi. Using a quantitative approach, data were gathered through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation involving 10 tenth-grade students. The research aimed to determine how extensive reading influences comprehension of story elements such as structure, characters, and plot. Results show that most students view extensive reading positively, recognizing its contribution to improved reading skills, vocabulary development, and storytelling ability. Notably, 77% of participants expressed favorable perceptions, indicating both linguistic and motivational benefits. The study also found that higher engagement in extensive reading activities is associated with better comprehension and increased motivation. Overall, the extensive reading program is considered effective but still needs further strategies to encourage regular reading habits.

Abstract

Teacher professionalism plays a crucial role in improving education quality, especially in madrasahs with unique cultural and organizational characteristics. This study explores the strategic instructional leadership of the principal at MTs Al-Wasliyah Deli Serdang, focusing on the use of language as a key tool to enhance teacher professionalism. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and students. The results show that the principal employed several language-driven leadership strategies, such as modeling professional communication, conducting supervision with constructive feedback, facilitating professional dialogue, and providing motivation through verbal encouragement and training. These strategies helped improve teacher competence and fostered a collaborative school culture. Challenges included low teacher motivation, heavy administrative tasks, limited resources, and lack of external support. To overcome these, the principal used a collaborative and adaptive leadership style, emphasizing effective use of language to inspire, communicate goals, and strengthen relationships. In conclusion, language-based instructional leadership is essential in shaping teacher professionalism. The strategic use of language enables principals to guide, support, and empower teachers, ultimately contributing to a more effective and supportive learning environment in madrasahs.

Abstract

This study explores students’ and teachers’ perceptions, along with contributing factors, toward the implementation of the Cambridge curriculum (TCC) in an SPK school in Surabaya. Using a mixed-methods approach with a descriptive design, data were gathered from 195 students and 4 teachers. The results from questionnaires and interviews indicate generally positive perceptions, with mean scores of 3.96 for students and 4.28 for teachers. Despite this, several challenges emerged, such as students’ difficulty in understanding Cambridge textbooks and differing views on infrastructure particularly Wi-Fi access and the presence of a language laboratory. Key factors influencing curriculum implementation include teacher adaptability, engagement from both students and teachers, curriculum flexibility, collaborative learning, and ICT integration. These findings provide valuable insight for SPK schools in Indonesia to assess and enhance their English curriculum practices. The study contributes to a better understanding of how international curricula are perceived in local contexts and offers practical considerations for improving teaching and learning strategies under the TCC framework.
