Abstract

This study critically examines the fourth-grade English textbook, English for Today, used in mainstream classrooms in Bangladesh. Despite 12 years of English instruction, many students in Bangladesh struggle with language proficiency, suggesting a gap between curriculum objectives and practical outcomes. The research investigates this gap by evaluating the textbook across four analytical stages. Initially, the study assesses the textbook’s aims, exercises, assessments, and learning process, identifying its intent to build language skills through engaging activities. The second step analyzes the textbook using various educational theories, such as social constructivism, Bloom’s taxonomy, the VARK model, and principles of pedagogy and educational psychology. These frameworks highlight the textbook’s attempt to foster active learning, critical thinking, and inclusivity. The third phase involves a critical evaluation of the textbook’s physical aspects, content quality, use of illustrations, and language structure. The research concludes with a content analysis, noting both strengths and weaknesses. The findings reveal that English for Today incorporates effective learning methods, such as hands-on activities and command-based instructions, aimed at enhancing student engagement. It demonstrates a strong alignment with educational theories, achieving a high readability score of 98.27. However, significant shortcomings are identified in the physical production of the textbook. Issues such as an unattractive cover, poor printing, and low-quality paper detract from the overall educational experience. Reflectively, the study underscores the importance of not just theoretical and content-based alignment in textbooks but also the material and visual aspects that affect students' motivation and engagement. While the textbook's pedagogical framework is sound, the findings suggest that improving its physical presentation could make it a more effective tool for language learning.

Abstract

Translanguaging is an educational method that involves using two languages or more interchangeably for both receiving and producing information within a single activity. In Kurikulum Merdeka, English becomes one of the compulsory subjects for elementary school students. The lack of vocabularies and other factors support the elementary school English teacher to employ translanguaging in the education setting. This research aims to explore the reasons and impacts of translanguaging usage in the classroom. The kind of this research is descriptive qualitative research. The researcher involved three English teachers from one of Sekolah Penggerak Batch 1. The researcher employed two data collection techniques (open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews). The results are there are eight reasons of translanguaging in EFL classroom, namely the lack of vocabularies mastery, to make the instruction clearer for the students, to engage the students and make them active, to create a comfort and joyful learning environment, to avoid misconception of learning materials, the students’ request, the limitation of time in EFL classroom, and to reduce students’ anxiety. There are five impacts of translanguaging, namely making the students become more active, the learning objective can be reached optimally, the students’ English skills and comprehension get better, the students can understand the instruction well, and the students can enjoy the learning process. The researcher suggests the next researcher to conduct the research about the practice of translanguaging in elementary school.

Researchers conducted this research on three students of English language education at Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri University to find out what AI tools most often use and their perspectives about AI in the content and organization of writing. This research used a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews. Researchers collected data for this research by conducting pre-observations regarding EFL students who got high writing scores in the previous semester. The first result of this research is the AI tool they used most often was Grammarly, followed by other AI QuillBot, Perplexity AI, DeepL Translator, and Chat GPT. The second result is the respondents gave the positive perspective: AI tools can support, improve and simplify their writing in preparing their theses, and the negative perspective: AI tools must use stable internet data access, usage restrictions and even some AI tools are only intended for premium users. This research can help teachers in the teaching process and development in writing with the help of AI tools. Recommendation for further researchers are to develop this research by using comparison classes and expanding the scope of research and future researchers can develop it by using more research instruments to further strengthen the results.
