Abstract

This study aims to develop a learning media for teaching grammar to Islamic boarding school students. The biggest reason for this study is to make studying grammar more accessible for students at Islamic boarding schools with limitations in learning grammar. This study adopted 10 components of the Dick and Carey development method: analysis of needs and goals, learning analysis, analysis of context learning, formulating goals/aims, developing the instrument, developing learning strategies, developing and choosing learning materials, designing and conducting formative evaluations, making revisions, and summative evaluation. The media was developed based on a need assessment questionnaire filled in by 51 students of class six of an Islamic boarding school in Jambi. The researchers analyzed data collected based on mixed methods, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The media "Grammar Root" was validated by several media and material experts and concluded with a valid score by the experts. It proves that the “Grammar Root” learning media can be used to promote the effectiveness of teaching grammar to Islamic boarding school students. Keywords: Boarding schools, media, Grammar Root, need analysis

Abstract

This best practice aims to find out teachers’ practice on the bottom-up approach in teaching listening to EFL students at the higher education level, to find out students’ perplexity on listening, and to find out students’ responses on the bottom-up approach in teaching listening. The bottom-up approach has been practiced due to students’ perplexity in figuring out some linguistic features such as short and long vowels, word linking, diverse English accents, diction, and many others which are not available in EFL students’ native language. Thus, the students frequently have perplexity in those aspects. This perplexity occurs due to linguistic features in English are being far different from the ones in the Indonesian language. This qualitative research employed one English teacher who is particularly in charge of teaching listening and ten freshman students. The finding revealed that a bottom-up approach to the freshman classes is given until they get used to it so that they can get well-prepared to have a top-down approach to listening and students’ responses indicate that they no longer have perplexity about listening to English native speakers. The conclusion showed that before teaching listening with a top-down approach, a bottom-up approach would be initially practiced. The Bottom-Up approach has been applied to prevent EFL students from perplexity in listening and they will be ready to face other techniques such as listening for gist, specific information, and detail. Keywords: bottom-up approach, teaching listening, EFL students’ perplexity

Abstract

This study scrutinizes the process of reflective practices carried out by English student teachers in their microteaching practices. The focus of this study exposes the student teachers’ engagement when they implement reflective practice. Student teachers’ challenges that they face during the process of reflection and teaching practices are also revealed.  This study is a qualitative case study that involved 5 English student teachers consisting of 1male student and 4 female students who enrolled in Microteaching class. They experienced microteaching practices and went through several stages: planning, teaching, feedback, re-planning, re-teaching, and re-feedback. To gain the data, student teachers’ interviews and their reflective journals were used to dig for information about their engagement in reflective practice during their microteaching and also information about their challenges in this process. The data from interviews and reflective journals were analyzed qualitatively and revealed that the student teachers showed their active participation during the reflective practice in microteaching. They experienced how reflective practices gave them opportunities to learn how to evaluate their teaching practice. However, they also faced some challenges such as particularly in critically evaluating their practices. The results of this study are expected to increase student teachers’ awareness and knowledge and their professional skills as prospective teachers. In addition, the results of this study can explore the challenges and opportunities experienced by them as a reference for improvement in implementing reflective practice and microteaching.Keywords: Student Teachers' Engagement, Reflective Practice, Microteaching

Abstract

Extramural English, also known as English exposure beyond the classroom, has become increasingly relevant for language learning, especially with technological advancements. To better understand how extramural English contributes to the English learning process in the Indonesian context, this study explores the extramural English activities of Indonesian EFL learners. A total of seventy-three university students majoring in English Language Education participated in a survey, which gathered data on their extramural English preferences and perceived benefits for language skills. The data were then thematically analyzed. The findings revealed that receptive-related activities were the most popular, with participants frequently engaging in listening to English songs (94.5%), watching music videos with English captions (82.2%), and watching films or TV series in English with Indonesian subtitles (76.7%). These activities were favored because they were enjoyable and provided opportunities for English development. Moreover, most participants perceived extramural English as beneficial for enhancing their knowledge of language items, language skills, and cultural understanding. The findings suggest that EFL teachers should incorporate more productive extramural English tasks to promote balanced skill development among learners.  Keywords: Extramural English, digital learning, English development

Abstract

Thesis supervision involves both supervisors and supervisees that have different perceptions and expectations. This study aims to explore the perceptions of supervisors and expectations of supervisees. An exploratory case study design was applied in this study. Eleven of 24 supervisors who participated in this study responded to questions about their supervisory given via Google Form. Nine English undergraduate students who are currently working on their undergraduate thesis were involved. A set of questions was distributed to supervisors and semi-structured interview was applied to supervisees. The data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that there are mismatched expectations and perceptions that contribute to the complexity of thesis supervision. The supervisors have a positive perception about their relationship with the supervisees. They recognize their supervisees' needs and have professional relationships with their supervisees. They provide help and guidance, such as providing online links of material to support the supervisee’s thesis. Furthermore, they expect their supervisees to have autonomy in learning for their own thesis, have adequate research knowledge and skills, and have good communication skills. However, the supervisees expected that their supervisors recognized each supervisee's characters, needs, and weaknesses. They expect to receive clear and structured instructions to outline their research schedules and activities and to receive oral specific feedback on specific parts of their thesis. This study highlights a need for clarity about the expectations of each party to minimize mismatched expectations.Keywords: thesis expectations, thesis perceptions, undergraduate thesis supervision

Abstract

This study investigates the pedagogical potential of The Miracle Worker (1962) as a teaching medium in Language Acquisition courses, with a dual focus on linguistic development and character education. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with film content analysis, the research systematically examines key scenes and character interactions to identify how theoretical principles of language acquisition—such as behaviorist, nativist, interactionist, and affective approaches—are reflected in Helen Keller’s learning journey. Data were collected through close scene analysis, thematic coding, and interpretation aligned with major theories of language development.  The findings reveal that the film presents a rich, multidimensional representation of the language acquisition process, highlighting the importance of tactile-based instruction, emotional support, and socially mediated interaction. Helen Keller’s journey illustrates that effective language learning is deeply influenced by both cognitive and affective factors. Traits such as perseverance, empathy, self-discipline, and emotional resilience are shown to facilitate communication and comprehension, suggesting a strong interdependence between character growth and linguistic development. The study concludes that The Miracle Worker is a powerful educational tool that can enhance students’ understanding of language acquisition concepts while also promoting reflective discussion on inclusive, empathetic teaching practices. By integrating academic content with character values, the film exemplifies a holistic approach to language education that addresses both intellectual and personal dimensions of learning. Keywords: The Miracle Worker, language acquisition, character education, content analysis, holistic education

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) has garnered considerable attention as an innovative pedagogical technique that fosters active participation, analytical reasoning, and tangible utilization of acquired knowledge. This study explores the experience of undergraduate students focusing on the benefits, challenges and coping strategies during the implementation of project-based learning (PjBL) in an ESP course. Involving 45 English Education Department students as the participants, this mixed methods study utilized questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to obtain the data regarding their experience while joining PjBL. The quantitative data from the questionnaire were analysed by using descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data from the interview were analysed through the steps of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of this research indicate that students recognized the roles of PjBL in enhancing their learning motivation, engagement, understanding, language proficiency, problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills. However, this study also reported significant challenges regarding time constraints, resourcing difficulties, and collaboration issues. To address these challenges, students employed various strategies such as managing tasks independently, utilizing accessible resources, and maintaining effective communication. This study concludes that when carefully implemented, PjBL can be an effective instructional method in ESP contexts that offers meaningful opportunities for both linguistic and personal development. Keywords: Project based Learning, learning experience, higher education, ESP

Abstract

This study examines innovative methods for teaching English literacy to junior secondary students in Eastern Indonesia, focusing on critical literacy. Using an ethnopedagogical approach, it investigates the challenges and strategies for implementing critical literacy, the effects on students’ perspectives and cultural identities, and develops tailored teaching models. Data were gathered through classroom observations, interviews with two English teachers and 50 eighth-grade students from two schools, and documents analysis. The findings highlight significant resource disparities between urban and rural areas, requiring creative adaptations of critical literacy methods. Incorporating local contexts into literacy activities strengthened students’ cultural identities and enhanced their engagement with global issues. Successful pedagogical models included bilingual multimodal texts, digital literacy integration, and collaborative project-based learning. The study also identified challenges from traditional teaching methods and an exam-focused culture, suggesting a gradual introduction of critical thinking activities. The findings of the study provide valuable insights for teachers and policymakers on implementing effective English literacy education in diverse, resource-limited settings, underscoring the need for culturally response approaches. Keywords: Critical literacy, English as a foreign language, Eastern Indonesia, ethnopedagogy, student identity
