Abstract

This research examined students' perceptions toward the implementation of case method learning in Advanced Listening classes at Universitas Negeri Padang. The case method, a discussion-based participatory learning approach, was applied to address challenges students faced in listening comprehension, including limited vocabulary, concentration difficulties, and linguistic problems. This descriptive quantitative study involved 70 students from three Advanced Listening classes in the 2023 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire consisting of 25 statements measured on a four-point Likert scale, covering five indicators: Learning Process Effectiveness, Critical Thinking Development, Active Participation and Engagement, Skill Development, and Learning Environment. The findings revealed that students held positive perceptions across all indicators, with an overall mean score of 3.08. Learning Process Effectiveness achieved the highest mean score of 3.18, followed by Learning Environment (3.13), Active Participation and Engagement (3.06), Critical Thinking Development (3.04), and Skill Development (3.00). These results indicate that the case method effectively facilitates listening comprehension, fosters a supportive learning atmosphere, promotes engagement, enhances critical thinking, and develops practical listening skills. Therefore, it can be concluded that the case method serves as an effective pedagogical approach that enriches students’ learning experiences and supports comprehensive learning outcomes in Advanced Listening instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by pre-service teachers, the strategies they employed to overcome these challenges, and the forms of support they required in implementing lesson plans during their teaching practicum. The participants consisted of 43 pre-service teachers from the English Language Education Program (ELEP) at Universitas Negeri Padang who conducted their practicum from January to June 2025. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires validated by the thesis supervisor. The data were analysed using thematic analysis guided by three theoretical frameworks: Lampert (2001) on teaching challenges, Hopkins (2008) on teaching strategies, and Zeichner and Liston (2013) on support needed in teaching practice. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers encountered several major challenges, including difficulties in classroom management and teacher–student interaction, adapting to students’ diverse abilities, time limitations, and unexpected classroom situations. To overcome these challenges, they applied strategies based on Hopkins’s models, such as whole-class teaching, cooperative group work, and inductive teaching. Moreover, they required reflective support, professional guidance, and contextual understanding in line with Zeichner and Liston’s framework. In conclusion, the study highlights that while ELEP students demonstrated adaptability and applied appropriate strategies to address teaching challenges, consistent mentoring, reflective feedback, and contextual understanding are essential to enhance the effectiveness of lesson plan implementation and to strengthen teacher education programs in preparing pre-service teachers for real classroom practice.

Abstract

This study investigates EFL students’ perceptions of self-created glossaries as a strategy to enhance vocabulary mastery for translation tasks in an Indonesian-English translation class at Universitas Negeri Padang. The research focus on four aspects of perception, namely attractiveness, perceived effectiveness, relevance, and perceived motivation, and also explores the strategies students used in developing their glossaries. The participants were 25 students enrolled in the 2024/2025 Indonesian-English Translation class who completed weekly glossary assignments. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 20 closed-ended and one open-ended item and analyzed using descriptive quantitative and thematic approaches. The results indicate that students generally held positive perceptions of the self-created glossaries (M = 2.94 on a 4-point scale). Students who applied more varied and systematic strategies, such as contextual vocabulary selection and organized structuring, reported higher levels of perceived usefulness and motivation. These findings suggest that self-created glossaries can effectively support vocabulary learning, and enhance students’ preparation for translation activities.

Abstract

This study explores teachers’ wait time and its impact on students’ speaking participation in English classrooms at SMA Negeri 10 Padang. Speaking is one of the most challenging skills for EFL learners, as many students feel anxious, afraid of making mistakes, and lack confidence to speak. One factor that influences this situation is the teacher’s wait time, the pause given after asking a question before expecting an answer. This research focuses on two types of wait time: Wait Time 1, which occurs after the teacher’s question and before the student’s response, and Wait Time 2, which occurs after the student’s answer and before the teacher’s next move. A mixed-method design was used, combining classroom observations and stimulated recall interviews with two English teachers. The results showed that most teachers gave short pauses, ranging from one to five seconds. Longer pauses encouraged more meaningful and confident student responses, while shorter ones limited participation. The findings suggest that teachers should be more aware of their wait time to promote reflective and communicative classroom interaction.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies employed by ELSI teachers in managing talkative students within an English-only classroom environment. Talkative students can bring positive energy and active participation into classroom interaction, yet excessive talkativeness may disrupt lessons and limit quieter students’ chances to speak. This research aimed to reveal how teachers transform such behaviour into meaningful learning opportunities that promote motivation and engagement. A qualitative case study design under a post-positivist paradigm was applied, involving classroom observations and interviews with an experienced teacher at ELSI Padang. The data were analysed thematically using Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as the analytical framework to understand how teachers fulfil students’ psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The findings revealed six major strategies: balancing participation, motivating students through recognition and competition, fostering a supportive and enjoyable English-only environment, adapting teaching methods to learner diversity, maximizing peer influence, and maintaining positive perceptions toward talkative students. These strategies allowed the teacher to transform talkative behaviour into a motivational asset that enhanced students’ participation and confidence in speaking English. The study provides valuable insights for teachers and practitioners in non-formal English education contexts on managing active classroom dynamics effectively.

Abstract

Feedback is a crucial component in language learning as it guides students to identify their strengths and weaknesses. This study aims to analyse the types and forms of teacher feedback on seventh-grade students’ English homework at SMPN 1 Kota Solok, as well as the teachers’ purposes and considerations in providing such feedback. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design. The data were obtained through document analysis of students’ English homework and interviews with three English teachers. The findings revealed that evaluative feedback was the most dominant type (83.05%), followed by motivational feedback (14.41%) and corrective feedback (2.54%), while formative, advisory, praise, and criticism feedback were not found. In terms of form, symbolic or code feedback was most frequently used (83.05%), followed by general feedback (16.95%), with no written feedback identified. The interview results showed that teachers emphasized clarity, motivation, and balance between correction and encouragement, but inconsistently monitored students’ progress and guided improvement. Overall, the study concludes that teacher feedback practices remain heavily evaluative and limited in formative aspects. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to provide more constructive, descriptive, and formative feedback to help students understand their errors, promote engagement, and improve their English learning outcomes.
