Abstract

Research on pre-service teachers (PSTs) has increasingly focused on their integration of technology-based tools during teaching practicums. However, limited attention has been given to how PSTs navigate these tools in rural school settings. This study examines the types of technology-based tools selected by PSTs and explores their perspectives on their use in English teaching. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eight PSTs from Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia who taught in two public rural schools during their teaching practicum. The interview data were transcribed, coded, and analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that PSTs primarily utilized AI, web-based, and game-based tools in their teaching. Among AI-based tools, ChatGPT was the most frequently used. Canva, Pinterest, and Bilibili were commonly selected for web-based tools, while Kahoot! Quizizz and Wordwall were preferred for game-based learning. PSTs expressed positive views on these tools, highlighting improvements in students’ learning satisfaction, motivation, and classroom engagement. However, they also faced challenges, particularly regarding accessibility and technical limitations in rural areas. Additionally, students had limited digital competencies, which must be addressed to prepare them for future technological advancements. Teaching obstacles also stemmed from the incompatibility of students’ digital devices, further complicating technology integration in the classroom. Despite these barriers, such challenges should not hinder the educational process. Students' limitations can be addressed through collaborative learning strategies and enhancements in instructional quality. Therefore, this study recommends infrastructure improvements to expand technology accessibility and implement adaptive teaching strategies that maximize available resources in rural settings.

Abstract

Low reading motivation remains as a challenge that still obstructs the way that students develop academically with texts. This study examines secondary school students' reading motivation, with a particular focus on the impact of an integrated reading approach that combines wide-ranging reading with intensive reading. The study had involved around 106 Grade 11 students within Bariso Dukale Secondary School located in Bule Hora. It was conducted throughout a 16-week semester for addressing limitations of customary rote-based instruction. Participants were in a convenient manner assigned into an experimental group (n = 54) and into a comparison group (n = 52). A certain quasi-experimental design was used throughout. On a weekly basis, the experimental group was given 40 minutes of integrated reading instruction that was supported through supplementary materials planned for the purpose of increasing engagement. The comparison group gave adherence to the conventional reading practices. With a validated questionnaire, researchers measured reading motivation, and the questionnaire included intrinsic interest, reading habits, and perceived competence. For the collection of qualitative understandings, eleven students were interviewed from the experimental group. When the data was being analyzed, independent-samples t-tests and paired-samples t-tests revealed the experimental group did improve greatly in reading motivation (p = 0.000). Interview responses further supported these particular findings, as well as highlighted additional enthusiasm, autonomy, plus engagement. These results show that integrating both intensive and wide-ranging reading improves student reading motivation.

Abstract

Anxiety is a prevalent psychological factor that influences the learning process, particularly in language acquisition, where it can shape students’ confidence, engagement, and overall performance. In contexts where English is learned as a foreign language, anxiety is often linked to students' ability to navigate language learning challenges, affecting both their success and struggles in mastering the language. Understanding the extent of foreign language anxiety and its specific effects is essential, given its potential impact. This study investigates students’ anxiety levels, examines gender differences, and explores the relationship between anxiety and English achievement. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted with 105 students in Samarinda, Indonesia, using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCA) to measure anxiety and final semester scores to assess achievement. Data analysis using SPSS version 25 revealed that students experienced a high level of foreign language anxiety (M = 3.4459), with female students reporting slightly higher anxiety than males. However, the difference was not statistically significant. Correlation analysis showed a weak negative association (r = -.101, p = .306), suggesting that anxiety had little to no impact on achievement. These findings provide insights into foreign language anxiety in EFL contexts, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to create a more supportive learning environment and enhance language learning experiences.

Abstract

English literacy education in rural Papua, Indonesia, presents unique challenges shaped by geographical isolation, ethnolinguistic diversity, and limited resources. While previous studies have examined EFL teaching challenges in Indonesia, little research has explored how teachers' pedagogical beliefs interact with contextual constraints in rural settings. This study investigates the nexus between English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ beliefs and classroom practices in resource-constrained environments. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from X teachers through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal a persistent gap between teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and their ability to implement them due to contextual constraints, including inadequate teaching materials and a rigid national curriculum. Teachers who incorporated local cultural elements, such as Papuan folktales and proverbs, into their lessons demonstrated higher student engagement and improved literacy outcomes. These culturally responsive practices bridge students’ linguistic realities and the English literacy curriculum, fostering a deeper connection to the learning process. However, systemic barriers, including insufficient professional development and the absence of culturally relevant teaching materials, limit the broader adoption of these practices. This study underscores the need for flexible curricula that integrate local cultural content and calls for increased institutional support to equip teachers in rural areas. Addressing these challenges is crucial for improving English literacy education in rural, multilingual contexts, ensuring equitable learning opportunities for all students.

Abstract

Technology-enhanced English Learning (TEEL) has been widely explored in general English instruction but remains underexamined in vocational education, particularly dental technology. Dental technology students must master specialized terminology, communicate effectively with healthcare professionals, and engage with industry-specific tools—many of which operate in English—creating a growing need for targeted language instruction. This study investigates how TEEL supports English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Teaching English for Specific Purposes (TESP) in addressing dental technicians' specific linguistic and professional requirements. Data were collected from fifteen dental technology students enrolled in TEEL lessons at a private university in Indonesia through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations to explore this. The classroom observations focused on students participating in an English course incorporating TEEL, documenting their interactions with digital tools, engaging in lessons, and applying language skills in professional practice scenarios. Thematic analysis revealed two key findings: (1) the benefits of TEEL for dental technology students, including improved access to resources, self-paced learning, and increased motivation and engagement, and (2) challenges in integrating technology, such as limited access to digital tools and difficulties in adapting them for vocational learning. The results indicate that TEEL positively influences students’ acquisition of technical English, enhances their self-efficacy in professional communication, and facilitates real-world learning through interactive simulations. However, disparities in digital literacy and unequal access to technology hinder effective implementation. This study highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve digital literacy and ensure equitable access to technology, thereby maximizing TEEL’s impact on vocational education.

Abstract

Collaborative writing is widely recognized for its benefits in enhancing linguistic competence, critical thinking, and social interaction in EFL contexts. Despite numerous studies highlighting these advantages, a gap remains in how collaborative writing competence can be systematically assessed and practically applied in classroom settings. This study aims to empirically validate a Collaborative Writing Competence Framework (CWCF) comprising five key dimensions: communication, coordination, creativity, responsibility, and reflection. A quantitative research design involved 103 Indonesian undergraduate EFL students enrolled in an Essay Writing course. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The model demonstrated a good fit (χ² = 86.528, df = 81, p = .317; CMIN/DF = 1.068; RMSEA = 0.026; CFI = 0.992), with acceptable reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.719–0.807) and convergent validity (AVE = 0.501–0.673). Creativity emerged as the most influential factor in collaborative writing competence. The validated CWCF offers actionable insights for EFL instruction: structured peer discussions, guided brainstorming, and task delegation can enhance collaboration, while integrating self- and peer-assessment fosters responsibility and reflection. Digital platforms such as Google Docs may also support real-time coordination and feedback. The CWCF thus serves as both an assessment instrument and pedagogical tool, paving the way for more effective collaborative writing practices in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) is critical in English language education, especially in preparing future teachers to address cultural diversity in the classroom. Despite growing awareness of ICC, challenges remain in how pre-service teachers perceive and plan to implement ICC in their future teaching practices. This study investigated Indonesian pre-service English teachers’ perceptions of ICC objectives and their intended integration into English language instruction. Conducted at a university in Central Java, Indonesia, the study involved 19 undergraduate pre-service English teachers who completed a questionnaire, all of whom were invited to participate in follow-up interviews. The questionnaire responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while interview data were examined through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that participants generally acknowledged the importance of ICC, particularly the knowledge dimension—such as understanding non-verbal behaviors, taboos, and levels of formality—and, to a lesser extent, attitudes like suspending judgment. However, responses also revealed inconsistencies, as many participants favored teacher-centered approaches focused on presenting cultural facts, with limited attention to deeper cultural engagement or student-centered activities. Although some participants demonstrated more comprehensive and reflective approaches, the findings suggest that many pre-service teachers have a fragmented understanding of ICC and lack clear strategies for its classroom integration. These results highlight the need for teacher education programs to explicitly address ICC objectives, foster critical intercultural awareness, and promote reflective pedagogies that support effective ICC implementation in future English language classrooms.

Abstract

A thorough need analysis (NA) is essential for designing effective instructional materials, particularly in the context of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) primary school students. Despite the increasing demand for ready-to-use CLIL materials, little research has explored the specific needs of students in this context. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach, focusing on the NA phase to gather insights into students’ attitudes and material preferences for CLIL instruction. A total of 93 EFL primary school students participated in the study, with data collected via an online questionnaire that addressed two key aspects: students' attitudes toward learning English and their needs for learning materials through the CLIL approach. The data were analyzed using basic statistical methods in JASP software. The results indicated that while students generally hold a positive attitude toward learning English—particularly regarding its importance, their intention to continue learning, and intrinsic motivation—they do not consider English their preferred subject, and their interest in CLIL-related activities remains moderate. Regarding material needs, students preferred interactive and engaging methods, particularly through multimedia resources, group work, and technology integration. They also prioritized improving listening and vocabulary skills. Additionally, students showed strong interest in topics related to personal experiences and global issues, such as leisure activities, nature, and sports, while displaying less enthusiasm for academic subjects like geography and literature. These findings offer helpful input for developing digital CLIL materials better aligned with young learners’ interests and learning preferences.

Abstract

Integrating digital technology in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction has expanded opportunities for language learning, particularly for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) students in non-English major programs. However, limited research has explored how these learners use internet-based tools in localised university contexts. This study investigates the use of digital technology in ESP learning among CALD students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang. Employing a descriptive mixed-methods design, data were gathered through questionnaires (n=505) and focus group discussions with ESP lecturers. Findings reveal that smartphones (53%) and laptops (28%) are the most commonly used devices, with tools such as Google Translate, Chatgpt, Zoom, and Grammarly supporting English learning inside and outside the classroom. Over 63% of students rated internet tools as “very useful” for accessing field-specific materials, and 44.65% identified technology as a primary companion to classroom instruction. Students also reported gains in language proficiency, self-regulated learning, and intercultural communication. Despite these benefits, students face persistent barriers, including limited digital skills (80.6%), insufficient device access (76.8%), slow internet (66.7%), and lack of technical support (63%). Nonetheless, 68.87% of students viewed technology as helpful for future learning, and half strongly believed it promotes learning flexibility. Students also called for improved digital training (44.65%) and infrastructure (33.02%). The findings highlight the need for targeted digital support and culturally responsive content to ensure inclusive and effective ESP instruction.

Abstract

EFL learners in Indonesia, who typically speak a local mother tongue and Bahasa Indonesia as the national language due to the country’s linguistic diversity, often face additional challenges when speaking English, classified as a foreign language, leading to an increased likelihood of slip-of-the-tongue (SOT) errors. This descriptive qualitative study aims to identify the types and frequencies of SOT produced by Indonesian multilingual speakers in EFL spoken production and to investigate whether SOT occurrence is influenced by age, gender, and speech settings (prepared vs. unprepared). Twelve participants were divided into two age groups (13–19 and 20–35), consisting of three males and three females. Data from recorded readings and interviews were transcribed and analyzed, revealing 250 total SOT occurrences. The findings show that all eight SOT types proposed by Caroll (2007) were present, with substitution as the most frequent (79 instances), followed by deletion (65), anticipation (36), perseveration (23), addition (20), exchange (15), and shift and blend as the least frequent (7 each). The 13–19-year-old group produced more SOTs overall than the 20–35-year-old group, while females produced more SOTs than males. Regarding speech settings, the younger group (13–19) generated more SOTs in prepared speech, whereas the older group (20–35) produced more unprepared speech. The prominence of specific SOT types suggests that future research should explore how juggling multiple linguistic systems shapes speech production and error patterns.
