Abstract

In the context of Indonesia higher education, English academic reading poses notable challenges for EFL students, particularly due to complex language and limited instructional support. To address this issue, annotation emerges as a critical strategy to facilitate comprehension and engagement with scholarly texts. This study aims to explore the annotation practices employed by eight-semester EFL students when reading academic materials. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through documentation of annotated texts and semi-structured interviews involving six students from an English Language Education Study Program at Pakuan University. The analysis followed Marshall's framework, categorizing annotations into three types: anchor only, content only, and compound. Findings revealed that students predominantly used anchor only annotations-highlighting and underlining- to mark essential information. Some employed compound annotations by integrating text markers with reflective notes, while content only annotations were less frequent but demonstrated deeper processing through independent summaries. These practices indicate that annotation supports not only reading comprehension but also academic writing and critical engagement. The study recommends integrating explicit instruction on annotation techniques into EFL reading curricula to empower students as active readers and knowledge constructors.

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to enhance preschool students’ vocabulary skills through the use of digital storytelling and to observe their engagement during the learning process. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisted of two sessions with fourteen students aged five up to six years from a preschool class in Batam. Data was collected through pre and post-tests and classroom observations. Analysis involved comparing the mean test scores to assess vocabulary growth and using qualitative data from observations to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital storytelling actions within each cycle. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, evidenced by the average performance in the pre-test shifting to a very good category in the post-test. Furthermore, classroom observations confirmed higher levels of attention, enthusiasm, and interaction during the learning sessions. The findings confirm that digital storytelling is an effective and engaging method for vocabulary instruction in early childhood education. It supports vocabulary retention and student motivation even when applied with simple technology. This study recommends the integration of digital storytelling in early language learning and encourages future research to explore its long-term impact and application across various language skills.

Abstract

The problems addressed in this study are the students’ low confidence and performance in English speaking and comprehension due to uniform teaching strategies that do not accommodate diverse learning needs. Speak It, Love It, Ace It" method is used to solve the problems. This study aims to enhance the English-speaking proficiency and confidence of 10th-grade students at SMA At-Tajdid by assessing their current abilities, implementing the Speak It, Love It, Ace It method within a differentiated learning framework tailored to diverse proficiency levels and learning styles, and evaluating the effectiveness of this integrated intervention through both qualitative and quantitative measures. The study, involving 25 purposively selected 10th-grade students, employed a two-cycle design of planning, action, observation, and reflection, using observation, tests, interviews, and documentation to analyze changes in students’ performance and participation across cycles. The findings indicated a clear positive trend, with notable gains in speaking fluency, vocabulary use, and classroom engagement. Students demonstrated greater motivation and more positive attitudes toward learning English, and overall performance improved significantly across cycles, surpassing the established success criteria. These results highlight the potential of integrating affective engagement strategies with differentiated instruction to enhance oral proficiency in EFL secondary contexts.
