There is an increased urgency of acquiring a lingua franca in this era of industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0 as language mastery plays a crucial role in meeting the 21st-century’s demand to compete globally. To this end, family literacy practices have become the keys for the family to socialize their children into the languages they think will benefit their children’s future. Despite the increasingly abundant research on bilingual/multilingualism, research on family English bilingual practice in Indonesian contexts is still limited. This paper is aimed to discuss family literacy practices and language enrichment used to acquire English in two Indonesian families in South Sumatra. A case study design was used to examine translingual practice. Interviews and observations were conducted to collect the data from the two families. Categorizing strategies (coding and thematic analysis) were accomplished to analyze the data. The findings of this study highlight translanguaging, code-switching, and code-mixing as the families’ common literacy practices at home. Another finding reveals the critical role of digital media, such as TV programs, YouTube videos, online games, and books, in supporting children’s English acquisition. Implications of this study include the need to pay attention to the family literacy practice as important component of understanding how second language socialization occurs outside of formal schooling and the role of digital media in mediating this socialization process.

This study employed Course-of-Action methodology in a mixed-methods approach to examine the impact of screen distractions on Memrise MALL experience in an EFL flipped classroom setting. An Exploratory Sequential Design was utilized to analyze the two-week Memrise MALL experience and its impact on the screen behaviors of 46 Indonesian first-year university students. Descriptive and nonparametric inferential statistics were employed to analyze the quantitative data, while confrontative interview data were transcribed and encoded using in vivo coding to mark key phrases in the participants' comments. Results of the study indicated that social media and entertainment apps were the most common type of distraction and that these distractions had a detrimental effect on task performance. The participants expressed their appreciation for the customizable learning experience and found the app layouts and gamification features were encouraging; however, they found it challenging to switch between multiple tabs or windows on a mobile screen. There was a small correlation between total screen distractions and total vocabulary learned, as well as a strong correlation between total screen distractions and the total time spent on the task.

Since authors intend to publish their academic research in reputable journals, promoting their research significance is pivotal to convincing journal gatekeepers for accepting their research articles (RAs). However, studies on research promotion within RAs are still limited, and none has comparatively studied this essential issue in English RAs published in reputable international journals and Indonesian highly-accredited journals as data sets. Thus, comprehending this gap has encouraged me to conduct the present study, by analyzing how claiming centrality and research contribution are employed in both data sets. For the data analysis, I employed a top-down approach for analyzing both data sets and used combined qualitative and quantitative approaches for the analysis reports. Then, the analysis results revealed that while claiming centrality appeared in most of both data sets, presenting research contribution appeared only in a few RAs of both data sets. Then, authors tend to express these two communicative steps using simple sentences more than the other three sentence types, except those published in reputable international journals as they mostly employ complex sentences in expressing their research contribution. These findings imply that promoting research by stating that the current research topic is important for research is important in the data, but using claiming centrality is more dominant than presenting research contribution. These findings also indicate that promoting the significance of current research topics is very essential.

The COVID-19 outbreak caused mass school closure, pushing teachers and students into online remote education and forcing them to adapt to unfamiliar pedagogical norms. Drawing on Koole’s (2009) Framework for the Rational Analysis of Mobile Education (FRAME) model, this study explored the challenges and opportunities of online remote ESL learning as experienced by four selected high school students from urban and rural Sarawak, Malaysia. It also explored the extent of their readiness for online remote ESL education one year into school closure. This study employed a multiple case study approach which included observations, document analysis and in-depth interviews of participants from multiple demographic categories. Findings discovered challenges that affected the students’ online remote ESL learning experience included the teacher’s physical absence, lack of engagement during lessons and unfavourable learning conditions. Online remote ESL learning also presented students with educational opportunities, particularly independent learning, online social learning and skills development. Findings suggested that urban students were ready, capable and equipped for online remote ESL learning whereas rural students were not as urban students had better digital resources, higher digital competency, sturdier support system, robust modes of instruction for online remote English lessons and higher language proficiency. This study concluded that individual characteristics of students, digital resources, language proficiency and appropriate learning environments play essential roles in supporting online remote ESL learning. Therefore, this study holds a significant theoretical implication for ESL education and the construct of Koole’s FRAME as it validates that when aspects related to the learner, device and social interactions in online remote learning are fulfilled, it can result in an ideal online remote learning experience.

The purpose of this study is to assess students' writing abilities using dictogloss and blogging. It involved 24 students from vocational colleges and incorporated five audio scripts from Hughes and Naunton's "Students Book of Business Results (Intermediate)" (2008). It employed a mixed method in the form of a quasi-experimental. The data was acquired using questionnaires and interviews. The students were divided into two groups: half were assigned to the control group, while the other half were assigned to the experimental group, which received training while the control group did not. The experimental group achieved a score of 59, whereas the control group achieved an average score of 41. Future research should look in depth at how creatively tertiary vocational college students think, especially through listening activities.

The post-pandemic phase has provided choices in the teaching and learning process, whether offline, online, or hybrid. Autonomous learning has become one of the preferred learning models dealing with online learning. This model of learning is believed to enhance students’ proficiency in EFL learning and enable learners to direct their learning. This qualitative study aims to investigate the benefits and challenges of implementing an autonomous learning model post-COVID-19 outbreak to EFL learners. There were three teacher-participants from Sukma Bangsa and Modal Bangsa high schools in Aceh. The teachers participated in a semi-structured interview, and the data from the interview were transcribed and coded through thematic analysis using the Coding system. The data analysis results indicate three benefits of autonomous learning through online platforms: meeting human needs, creating motivated and reflected learners, and developing communicative competence in second/foreign language learners. Furthermore, the challenges of autonomous learning are related to teachers’ roles, students’ beliefs, and social perspectives on autonomous learning. Based on the result, Autonomous Learning Model could be a choice as a learning model for online learning.

Recent development in second language acquisition scholarship has advanced our understanding of how language is acquired by aligning the mind, body, and socio-material world. Although many studies have been conducted from this perspective, more study on alignment focusing on writing a play script story in literature is needed. Drawing upon the idea of socio-cognitive alignment, this study investigated English literature student interactions during the process of writing a play script. It aims were to find out how mind-body-world as socio-cognitive alignment could contribute to a meaning-making process during writing a play script. A moment analysis was used as a method for analyzing data which were elicited from an audio/videotape recording and semi-structured interviews using a digital platform. Results revealed that the integration of mind, body, and world was well-coordinated during the process of writing the play script. That is, the integration of mind-body-world was evident in how the students employed both verbal resources and other multimodalities in working with literary works and fiction. The study also demonstrated the importance of alignment and interaction for the development of fiction writing and language competence of EFL students.

This paper discusses the use of metaphor in Kaba Tuanku Lareh Simawang. Using the Metaphor Identification Procedure at Vrije Universiteit (MIPVU) method, this study analyzes the metaphorical expressions found in the text, which was written by Syamsuddin St. Radjo Endah and published by Balai Bahasa Provinsi Sumatra Barat in 2021. This research aims to examine how metaphor is used in the text to reflect human proximity to nature. The findings show that metaphor is employed in the form of phrases and clauses in Kaba Tuanku Lareh Simawang, taking the form of analogies related to human faces, fate, events, and animals. All the metaphors reflect the concepts that are alive and continuously developing in Minangkabau society. Metaphors serve as a reflection of human proximity to nature, following the adage "alam takambang menjadi guru”. The results of this study offer insights into the culture and way of thinking of the Minangkabau people. Metaphors are significant elements of language that represent people's thoughts and cultures. Each culture has its way of using metaphors related to values and experiences considered important in their lives. Thus, understanding the concepts and metaphors in language can provide profound insights into people's thoughts and cultures. In conclusion, this study highlights that the use of metaphor in Kaba Tuanku Lareh Simawang reflects human proximity to nature. Metaphors are powerful tools in language that represent people's thoughts and cultures. Analyzing metaphors in traditional literature can provide a deep understanding of the culture and way of thinking of a society.

This article is based on research and development entitled “The Development of Digital Teaching Language in Indonesian Language Subjects based on Malay Ecology”. In general, ecology-based research is not a new discovery. However, this research provides a new dimension related to the concept of Freedom to Learn. The concept of ecology has a direction for adapting education to the needs of students, as with independent learning which wants education to go according to the needs and characteristics of different students. Freedom to learn brings the same passion to concretize ecology-based education. The research data shows that 59% of students in SMA 1 Limapuluh, SMA 1 Asahan, SMA 1 Tanjungbalai and SMK 4 Tanjungbalai, assess that the Indonesian language subject matter teaching materials that have been used so far do not contain ecological content related to nature, the environment and their own culture. The teacher explained that this had an impact on 1) the difficulty of the teacher in providing examples, 2) the difficulty of students understanding the material and 3) the material being incompatible with the real life of students. Of course this is a problem. This research resulted in a conceptual understanding that the teacher's difficulty in providing examples of learning and the teacher's difficulty in relating material to the real life of students is due to the unfulfilled ecological dimension. This ecological dimension can be fulfilled by linking environmental values into materials, tests and assessments. The solution that can be offered from this article is to present Indonesian language subject materials based on local ecology. Also, as a concretization of "Merdeka Belajar" (Freedom to Learn) Program in the pandemic era, there must be a Learning Management System (LMS) developed by schools to support the learning process so that teachers and students have the freedom to create Indonesian language learning that is relevant to the needs of students.
