Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review of studies on self-directed English learning through social media. Using the Systematic Literature Review method, data were gathered from three prominent journal databases: Scopus, Google Scholar, and Emerald Insight. The search strategy targeted publications from 2020 to June 11, 2024, selecting 32 relevant studies for analysis. The review identifies thirteen social media platforms, with YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp emerging as the most widely used. It explores how students engage in various learning activities, including following educational accounts, watching English videos, and participating in discussions. The findings underscore the significant benefits of integrating social media into self-directed English learning, such as improved language skills, enhanced engagement, and flexible learning opportunities. However, the review also highlights challenges such as distractions and privacy concerns, emphasizing the importance of educators and policymakers in developing strategies to address these issues. By promoting digital literacy and providing guidance and support, educators can help students overcome these challenges and optimize their use of social media for effective self-directed English learning.

Abstract

Abstract: In many EFL classrooms, students struggle to express complex ideas in English beyond basic conversation. This paper argues that argumentative writing can serve as a strategic bridge between language development and critical engagement. Drawing from descriptive classroom analysis and practical teaching experience, the study explores how writing structured arguments supports learners in constructing logical reasoning, defending perspectives, and interacting with diverse viewpoints. Through consistent practice, students not only build linguistic fluency but also develop habits of reflection and independent thought. The study highlights that integrating argumentative writing into EFL instruction enhances learners’ academic readiness and critical literacy. Implications for teaching practice and curriculum development are discussed based on field observations and theoretical grounding.Keywords: argumentative writing; EFL learners; critical thinking; literacy development; classroom practice

Abstract

In the courtroom, all participants are expected to cooperate fully to clarify the case. This research aimed to investigate the types of politeness violations committed by the participants in the Ferdi Sambo case and the causes of these violations. The participants in this study included judges, the defendant, witnesses, advocates, and public prosecutors. This research employed a qualitative-descriptive approach. The techniques for analyzing the data included identification, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. During data identification, the violations were classified using Leech's (1983) politeness strategy theory. The findings revealed that the types of politeness violations included refusal, interruption, sarcasm, emotional outbursts, and non-verbal cues. Additionally, the causes of these violations were attributed to the participants' mood, emotions, and the pressure they experienced during the trial. This research provides significant benefits, particularly for English students, by enhancing their cultural awareness, professional communication skills, and conflict resolution abilities. Understanding politeness norms can help students become more aware of cultural differences in communication, which is essential for effective interaction in diverse contexts.Keywords: Ferdi Sambo Case; Politeness; Violation; Courtroom;

Abstract

Education should aim at fostering human development and personal growth rather than focusing solely on higher test scores. Emphasizing these aspects will inherently boost intellectual achievements and better prepare students to contribute to both global and local societies. Human beings have an innate goodness and a natural tendency to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Therefore, aligning education with these natural tendencies will make it more effective. This article investigates how integrating humanistic principles with students' reading abilities can enhance English language learning in the classroom. The research methods primarily utilize library materials, eliminating the need for fieldwork (Zed, 2008). The study's findings indicate that students can enhance their reading skills in a humanistic way, creating a classroom environment that aligns with the educational goal of fostering humanistic understanding of learning materials.

Abstract

This study aims to design a culturally-based English textbook for Performing Arts Education students. The research applies Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to the ADDIE framework to improve English competence and local culture appreciation. A needs analysis of 36 students found that 82.35% have basic English skills and low speaking confidence. Multimedia elements, culturally relevant themes, and practical ways integrating English learning to artistic surroundings were popular with students. Experts validated content relevancy and linguistic accuracy but suggested simplifying idioms and adding cultural examples for accessibility. Two chapters' initial trials were moderately effective, scoring 3.39 for relevance and 3.89 for clarity. Changes improved cultural integration and interactivity. Two trials with six amended chapters showed considerable gains in clarity and relevance, scoring 4.53 and 4.17, respectively. Contextual vocabulary, realistic grammar exercises, and local-global cultural balance impressed students. The study found that CRP and CLIL in ESP materials improve English and cultural awareness. Long-term effects and digital tools for accessibility and interaction should be further explored.

Abstract

Gender awareness is an important aspect of education that is often under-emphasized in the curriculum. Gender inequality and stereotypes still occur in various environments, including schools. Picture stories with the theme of feminism can be an effective tool in increasing gender awareness among students, especially in language classes that often use literature as a learning medium. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using feminism-themed picture stories in increasing students' gender awareness in language classes. The study also aims to see the extent to which illustrated stories can change students' views on gender roles and gender inequality. This study uses a classroom action research method (CAR) which involves two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data was collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The participants in this study are students of a language class at a high school in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the use of picture stories with the theme of feminism can significantly increase students' gender awareness. Students become more critical of gender stereotypes and better understand the importance of gender equality. In addition, illustrated stories help students to be more involved in class discussions and voice their views on gender issues. Picture stories with the theme of feminism are an effective tool to increase gender awareness in language classes. This method not only improves students' understanding of gender issues, but also encourages their active participation in class discussions. The use of this media is expected to be adopted more widely in education to reduce gender inequality and form a more gender-conscious generation.

Abstract

The integration of technology into language education has become essential, especially for pre-service English teachers who must develop innovative teaching strategies. Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL) offers opportunities to foster creativity and student engagement, particularly when guided by a structured pedagogical model such as the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. This study explored how pre-service English teachers implemented Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL) using the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework during their teaching practicum. Using a qualitative design with interviews and teaching module analysis, the findings showed that participants applied cognitive, social, and teaching presence to create engaging learning experiences. Despite facing challenges such as limited access, low digital literacy, and difficulty sustaining CoI elements, they employed adaptive strategies such as device sharing, collaboration, and structured guidance. This study concludes that while the implementation of TELL through the CoI framework is promising, it requires ongoing support and training to address contextual constraints. The findings contribute to the development of teacher education programs and inform institutional efforts to enhance digital readiness in English language teaching.
