Abstract

Communication anxiety significantly hinders learning outcomes in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. This research explores the correlation between interpersonal intelligence and communication anxiety among high school students, assessing how variations in interpersonal skills influence anxiety levels during EFL interactions. Employing a quantitative approach, the study engaged 32 eleventh-grade students from class 11 MIPA 3 at SMA Mekar Arum, selected through random sampling. Data were collected using designed questionnaires to evaluate interpersonal intelligence and communication anxiety and analyzed with Pearson Product Moment Correlation via SPSS 22.0. The results indicated a significant negative correlation between interpersonal intelligence and communication anxiety (r= -0.494, p < 0.05), demonstrating that students with higher interpersonal intelligence experience lower communication anxiety. Notably, 65.6% of the students demonstrated medium levels of interpersonal intelligence, while 34.4% had high levels. In terms of communication anxiety, 56.3% of students experienced moderate levels, and 43.8% experienced high levels. Conclusively, this study underscores the importance of fostering interpersonal intelligence as a strategic approach to alleviate communication anxiety in EFL settings. It recommends that EFL instructors integrate group-based and interactive activities that enhance interpersonal relations among students to improve their educational experience and outcomes.

Abstract

In the digital age, autonomous learning has become a cornerstone of education, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, where writing autonomy plays a crucial role in fostering critical thinking, creativity, and effective communication. The rapid shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic created new opportunities to enhance writing autonomy through technology and digital tools. However, the integration of these advancements remains limited in contexts like Indonesia, where traditional education models prevail. This qualitative case study investigates the factors influencing online autonomous writing among Indonesian EFL learners, focusing on five secondary school students who participated through structured interviews and reflective journals. Findings reveal that technology, such as grammar checkers and online platforms, significantly enhances writing accuracy and fosters learner autonomy, while teacher feedback is a crucial guide for improvement. Additionally, collaborative processes stimulate critical thinking and deeper engagement, creating dynamic environments conducive to autonomous learning. These insights underscore the transformative potential of digital tools and feedback mechanisms in supporting writing development. By addressing existing gaps in the literature, this study offers practical recommendations for educators and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of integrating digital tools effectively and providing robust teacher training in digital pedagogy to improve EFL writing outcomes in increasingly digitalized learning environments.

Abstract

Integrating gender-inclusive strategies in teacher training prepares future educators to create fair and inclusive classrooms. Addressing gender biases in education can expand equal learning opportunities, positively impacting students' experiences and outcomes. This paper examines how Indonesian pre-service teachers implement gender-responsive pedagogy (GRP), focusing on their choices in teaching materials, classroom management, and instructional methods as they prepare to shape future learning environments. Four Indonesian ELT pre-service teachers from Universitas Negeri Malang participated in the study, closely examining them through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The thematic analysis of the interviews and observations revealed that pre-service teachers incorporated gender-responsive pedagogy (GRP) elements into their teaching practices, including diverse teaching materials, inclusive classroom management, and methods encouraging equitable student participation. These practices seemed to stem from the general inclusive teaching principles emphasized in their teacher education program. The findings indicate a potential benefit in integrating specific GRP training within professional education frameworks, enabling pre-service teachers to develop a deeper and more intentional understanding of gender-responsive strategies. This integration would empower future educators to address gender biases effectively and foster classrooms that actively support gender equality, enhancing students' educational experiences and outcomes.

Abstract

The integration of first and second languages in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, termed translanguaging, is gaining recognition for its potential to improve comprehension and student engagement. This study investigates students’ perceptions of translanguaging in Bali, a unique multilingual setting, and examines its correlation with their English learning achievement. Bali’s sociolinguistic environment, where students frequently use Balinese, Indonesian, and English, offers an ideal context to explore this phenomenon. This study employed a correlational research design, involving 65 fourth-semester students aged 18 to 22, to assess perceptions of translanguaging through a structured questionnaire and their English achievement through standardized tests. Descriptive statistics showed that students held positive perceptions of translanguaging, finding it beneficial for understanding course content and encouraging participation. However, Pearson correlation analysis revealed a minimal, non-significant correlation between students’ positive perceptions and their English learning achievement (r = 0.039, sig. = 0.758). While translanguaging created a supportive and engaging learning environment, its direct influence on academic achievement was limited. These findings suggest that although translanguaging may foster an inclusive and interactive classroom setting, it does not significantly impact measurable language achievement. This study contributes valuable insights into the role of multilingual practices in EFL education and encourages further research on their complex effects on learning outcomes.

Abstract

Given the significance of corrective feedback in enhancing language learners’ speaking skills, especially in boosting accuracy and motivation, this study aims to examine the impact of direct oral corrective feedback (OCF) on Indonesian EFL learners. While research has shown that teacher feedback plays a crucial role in student performance, there is limited insight into how students interpret and engage with feedback—a factor essential to its effectiveness. Employing a descriptive qualitative research method, this study involved 39 vocational school students from SMK Medikacom in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, enabling a thorough exploration of students’ responses, behaviours, and attitudes toward Oral Corrective Feedback (OCF). Oral Corrective Feedback (OCF) improved students' speaking skills, with Recast, Clarification Request, and Repetition being the most common types and Recast being the most effective for error correction without disrupting communication. Students reported gains in pronunciation, grammar, fluency, confidence, and teacher-student rapport. Some students, however, felt discomfort with feedback, highlighting the need for a supportive, non-judgmental approach to prevent negative emotional impacts. This study suggests that while implicit feedback benefits advanced learners, lower-proficiency students may need more explicit correction. To maximise OCF’s impact, educators are encouraged to tailor feedback to individual proficiency levels and focus on fostering supportive, adaptive classroom environments.

Abstract

Teaching English to healthcare students presents multifaceted challenges, particularly for non-native speakers who must concurrently navigate the complexities of medical concepts and the acquisition of language proficiency. Addressing these dual demands necessitates pedagogical innovations that integrate linguistic development with digital literacy to meet the dynamic requirements of contemporary healthcare. This quasi-experimental study explored the efficacy of digital storytelling as a transformative educational tool for enhancing English fluency and multimedia communication skills among vocational health students. Seventy-eight participants were allocated into an experimental group, which engaged in structured weekly digital storytelling activities, and a control group, which adhered to traditional grammar-based instruction. Over a 16-week intervention, data collected via the Test of English Proficiency Speaking and the Multimedia Communication Comfort Scale revealed significant outcomes, with the experimental group exhibiting substantial improvements (T-value = -23.91, p < 0.001) compared to the negligible gains of the control group (T-value = -11.12, p > 0.05). Furthermore, a robust positive correlation (r = 0.60) between initial lower proficiency and more significant improvement underscores the inclusivity and adaptability of digital storytelling for diverse learner profiles. By merging authentic language use with practical engagement in digital tools, digital storytelling equips vocational health students with critical competencies essential for effective communication in increasingly digitalized healthcare environments, demonstrating its potential as a cornerstone of 21st-century vocational education.

Abstract

Classroom Management Self-Efficacy (CMSE) is crucial for teachers to effectively manage diverse student needs, fostering preparedness, perseverance, and the ability to maintain a productive learning environment. This study examines how Indonesia’s Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG), or Teacher Professional Education program, enhances CMSE among certified English teachers. By exploring the experiences of three purposively selected junior high school teachers, this research highlights the role of professional development in building teaching confidence. Data were gathered through a validated CMSE scale, which assessed perceptions across various classroom management domains, and semi-structured interviews that provided rich qualitative insights. Using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), the analysis revealed two key findings: teachers with high CMSE consistently exhibited perseverance, motivation, and sociability—critical traits for effective classroom management—and participants credited the PPG program, particularly its structured components such as material deepening, learning device development, and teaching practice (PPL), with significantly improving their CMSE. These findings emphasize that well-designed professional development programs not only boost self-efficacy but also equip teachers with practical skills for managing classrooms effectively. The study concludes that sustained engagement in programs like PPG is vital for enhancing classroom management skills and offers valuable insights for shaping teacher education policies and practices to ensure continuous professional growth and improved teaching outcomes.

Abstract

With the growing need for accessible English learning in online education, this study explores students' requirements for mastering English grammar in a virtual environment at the educational startup "Scholars" in Surakarta, Indonesia. The study aimed to identify students' learning needs and challenges in online grammar classes to provide recommendations for more effective instructional support. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected from 38 students through questionnaires and proficiency tests, focusing on their perceptions and performance in online English grammar learning. The findings showed that over 50% of students strongly needed structured, accessible digital materials, such as interactive e-books or guidebooks, to facilitate independent grammar study. Students struggled to identify word forms and understand sentence structures, contributing to low proficiency rates, as evidenced by a 40% failure to meet the passing grade. The research highlights that current materials, limited to PowerPoint presentations and PDF files, are insufficient to meet students' learning needs. The study concludes that integrating digital, interactive learning resources with exercises and structured materials could better support students' autonomy, improve engagement, and address learning gaps in online English grammar instruction. This approach promises to enhance learning outcomes and motivation in virtual English education.
