Abstract

This studywas conducted to explore and understand the experiences of students in joining and undergoing the Kampus Mengajar program at schools in South Kalimantan Province and their experience in teaching English during their participation on that program. This research employed a qualitative approach in case study method with twelve participants who were university students in South Kalimantan Province who took part in Kampus Mengajar Batch 6 Program. The main source of data was an online open-ended questionnaire within thirty-one questions and documentation in form of pictures from participants as evidence that related to the research information. The data were analysed by using the thematic analysis, using two theories; the Experiential Learning Theory and Adult Learning Theory. The finding show that the program involved three preparatory stages, including registration, selection, and pre-assignment processes, before students were deployed to schools. Participants conducted school surveys to assess the condition of facilities, teacher quality, and student comprehension. While most participants did not encounter major challenges, those who did were able to develop both hard and soft skills. Regardless of their academic backgrounds, the participants displayed strong enthusiasm for teaching English and used creative methods to enhance student engagement. The program enabled them to apply their academic knowledge in real teaching environments, contributing over three hours of instruction per week. The data revealed that most of the respondents identified the substantial positive effects of Kampus Mengajar Batch 6, particularly in stimulating change in students' literacy and numeracy skills. Meanwhile, the program encouraged substantial contributions to the Indonesian education system, with the respondents asserting transformative influences on their professional development as well as on the institutional capacity of partner schools.

Abstract

This study seeks to investigate the efficacy of Grammarly, an AI-powered tool, in enhancing English writing skills from both teachers' and students' viewpoints. To achieve this, the study employed a qualitative case study approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with five teachers and ten students at a private university in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis to uncover patterns and insights. The findings indicate a consensus among students and teachers regarding Grammarly's value in augmenting writing skills, particularly in its capacity for error detection and the provision of immediate feedback. However, notable differences in opinion emerged between the two groups. While students tend to unquestioningly embrace the feedback from Grammarly, teachers approach the tool’s suggestions with more critical evaluation. The distinction highlights differing attitudes towards the role of Grammarly in writing development and points to significant pedagogical implications for its integration into English language instruction.

Abstract

This case study investigates English language teachers’ understanding and implementation of self-assessment (SA) in elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels. The research focuses on exploring how English teachers’ understanding of SA and how SA is applied in classroom settings. Data were collected through interviews and classroom observations involving five English teachers from a private school in East Jakarta, selected through purposeful sampling to capture diverse teaching experiences and grade levels. The findings indicate that all participants demonstrated a clear understanding of SA, its classroom implementation varied. Factors such as student age influenced the adaptation of SA practices, with younger learners requiring more guided approaches. Additionally, the frequency of SA use ranged from regular integration throughout lessons to limited use at the end of the term. These insights suggest areas for improvement, such as promoting more consistent use of SA throughout the learning process. The study offers practical examples of how English language teachers incorporate SA, providing guidance for educators aiming to enhance student engagement and autonomy through reflective learning practices.

Abstract

This study was to analyze the character growth of a unique character of Lira in Alexandra Christo’s To Kill a Kingdom. It is regarded as a unique character as Lira is not just character. She undergoes a transformation from a rude animal to good human being. Not like the change of character of a man whose changes only from bad to good character without anatomic change, Lira has to face problems to become a good person. Using close reading, the researcher is able to explore deeply the character of Lira before changing and after changing into a human with the result that after taking pains to overcome the problems, Lira is able to change her personality from bad ones: bloodthirsty and obedient (to bad things) to good ones: merciful, disobedient (to bad things), selfless, and noble person. Though the six determinants of Hurlock play important role for the character change, however, the researcher highlights that the more important ones are within somebody himself/herself. Therefore, the six determinants of Hurlock need attention to be more paid because the person plays a role in the world. Thus, the world is a stage within which there are many roles played so that people should be careful to play their roles in this stage.

Abstract

This study investigates the levels and contributing factors of Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) among eighth-grade junior high school students within the Kurikulum Merdeka. Employing a mixed-methods explanatory design, it combines quantitative data from the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) administered to 30 students and qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews with six participants representing different anxiety levels. The findings reveal that most students experience moderate anxiety shaped by communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, test-related concerns, and classroom dynamics, which are further influenced by social pressure, teacher and peer evaluation, and low self-confidence. Coping strategies vary across students, ranging from independent preparation and consistent practice to relaxation, informal exposure, and positive self-talk. While the Kurikulum Merdeka promotes flexibility and participatory learning, students still encounter pressure to perform linguistically in front of peers when using English. This study advances the understanding of FLA in secondary education by highlighting its manifestations in the context of a national curriculum reform and offering practical guidance for educators and policymakers to design adaptive, inclusive, and empowering English language learning environments.

Abstract

The objectives of the research were to identify the components of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies used by high school students in writing performance and to investigate the correlation between self-regulated learning strategies in writing and students’ writing performance among senior high school students. The study employed a quantitative correlational design, with data collected from 126 tenth-grade students who were selected using convenience sampling. To examine students’ writing strategies, the researchers utilized the Writing Strategies for Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (WSSRLQ). The instrument demonstrated a high level of internal consistency, as indicated by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.895. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that students primarily employed metacognitive and cognitive strategies at a high level, while social-behavioral and motivational strategies were used to a moderate extent. A very strong positive correlation was found (Spearman’s ρ = .849, p < .01) with motivational strategies showing the strongest correlation among the other components. In conclusion, the findings confirm a very strong and significant correlation between SRL strategies and students’ writing performance, with motivational strategies showing the strongest correlation.  These findings highlight the importance of integrating SRL focused instruction into EFL writing pedagogy to improve student engagement, autonomy, and writing proficiency. This result contributes to future academic inquiry by offering a basis for further exploration of SRL strategies in diverse EFL writing contexts.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited understanding of how digital storytelling projects are implemented in secondary EFL speaking classes, despite their recognized potential for fostering communicative and creative learning. It explores the implementation process and outcomes of a Digital Storytelling Project (DSTP) conducted in an Indonesian EFL secondary school. Using a qualitative interpretive case study design, data were gathered through classroom observations and rubric-based assessments involving one English teacher and twenty-one eighth-grade students divided into four groups. The analysis revealed that DSTP was carried out through three main stages, including planning, implementing, and reporting, with varying degrees of teacher facilitation. The project stimulated students’ engagement, collaboration, and creativity. However, insufficient scaffolding and unclear guiding questions during the planning phase affected project coherence and duration. Students’ speaking performance improved particularly in fluency and pronunciation, while issues remained in content clarity and narrative structure. Overall, DSTP provided meaningful opportunities for authentic language use and collaborative learning. The study concludes that digital storytelling, when implemented with adequate instructional scaffolding, can serve as a pedagogically rich medium for teaching speaking and aligns with the principles of Indonesia’s Independent Curriculum emphasizing creativity, collaboration, and student agency.

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to find out the forms and factors that cause code-crossing in EFL classroom interaction. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. The researchers selected thirty participants from the English Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sorong (Muhammadiyah University of Sorong). The researchers took participants from the fourth semester. The researchers observed the activity in the class during the teaching process. The data of this study were collected by using classroom observation and interview. The researchers used five stages in analyzing the data, which are data cleaning, data coding, descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, and interpretation of results. The research revealed that the way lecturers and students engage in code-crossing, using both high and low codes, is shaped by social status, social distance, and mutual familiarity. Findings indicated that classroom interactions involved two main types of codes: high and low codes. Students predominantly employed high code, whereas lecturers were more inclined to use low code. Key determinants for code selection included the lecturer’s social status and age differences. Additionally, factors such as social distance, familiarity, and cultural background also played  role in influencing the use of high code by both lecturers and students during classroom exchanges. These findings suggest that language within educational contexts serves purposes beyond mere communication. It reflects cultural norms, social expectations, and interpersonal relationships. Understanding how lecturers and students engage in code-crossing offers valuable insights into enhancing classroom interaction, inclusivity, and mutual respect. The key contribution of this research lies in its empirical evidence showing that code-crossing, often perceived as informal or peripheral, actually plays a crucial role in shaping effective classroom communication and fostering social cohesion.

Abstract

The study addresses the pervasive difficulties students encounter in locating appropriate, current, and topic-specific literature, synthesizing existing research with their own arguments, maintaining narrative cohesion, and navigating the complexities of the literature review chapter. A significant concern is the increasing reliance on AI tools and the associated ethical considerations. This research aims to identify and examine the specific challenges of English language Education students face in integrating literature sources, such as improper paraphrasing, overreliance on direct quotations, ineffective synthesis, and limited understanding of citation conventions. It also seeks to explore underlying causes like insufficient academic writing training, low language proficiency confidence, and lack of familiarity with scholarly literature. A qualitative narrative inquiry approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with four eighth-semester undergraduate students from the English Language Education Department. Data were analyzed using narrative analysis to understand participants' experiences, perceptions, and strategies in navigating literature integration challenges. Trustworthiness was the validation variable used in this investigation. Findings reveal that students struggle with finding relevant sources, adjusting quotes to fit personal arguments, and maintaining narrative cohesion, with the literature review consistently identified as the most challenging section. While AI tools like ChatGPT are perceived as effective for efficiency and ideal generation, ethical considerations regarding plagiarism are crucial. Students effectively use conceptual maps and matrices for organization. The study concludes with a strong demand for practical support, including workshops and resources, to enhance literature integration skills, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted pedagogical interventions to improve thesis quality.
