Differentiated instruction (DI) is one such approach that aims to address students' diverse readiness levels, interests and learning profiles. However, the implementation of DI can be affected by how teachers and students perceive its implementation. The objectives of this study was to describe the English teachers’ perceptions and the students’ perception on the differentiated instruction. The research method was descriptive quantitative. The researcher used a questionnaire in collecting data. The respondents of this research were three English teachers and seventeen eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Banyuwangi. The researcher analyzed the data of questionnaires by using statistical analysis with this formula: P = n/N x 100%. The results of the study showed that the English teachers had a positive perception on the differentiated instruction. The result was 77,8%. The students also perceived differentiated instruction positively. It was 74,5%. Content and process differentiation received favorable ratings from both teachers and students. The findings suggest that differentiated instruction effectively supports student engagement and personalized learning.

Abstract

This study explores the motivational factors influencing English language learning among 7th-grade students at SMP 1 Islam Jember, addressing the issue of low student motivation and its impact on engagement and learning outcomes. Focusing on a specific cultural context, the research fills a gap by examining intrinsic motivation (personal interest, satisfaction, mastery) and extrinsic motivation (grades, praise, career opportunities) among middle school students. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving 19 purposively selected students. Analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal that intrinsic motivation, driven by positive experiences like understanding lessons and teacher appreciation, is more dominant. However, students with low self-confidence or facing challenges often lose motivation. Extrinsic motivation was evident in aspirations for high grades and using English for academic and professional purposes. The study concludes that interactive, relevant teaching strategies, such as incorporating popular media or project-based simulations, can significantly enhance motivation. These insights offer practical contributions for developing effective teaching methods to improve student engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores the psychological factors influencing the English language development of adult learners in Pakisan Village, a rural community preparing for community-based tourism. Using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach, the research examines how ten adult learners aged 30–50 interpreted their experiences of motivation, anxiety, confidence, and psychological empowerment while participating in a short English course. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and classroom observations. The findings reveal that learners’ motivation was initially driven by instrumental needs related to tourism but gradually shifted toward intrinsic interest as they experienced competence and enjoyment. Anxiety shaped by age, educational history, and fear of making mistakes, initially hindered participation but decreased through shared struggles, peer support, and positive classroom interactions. Confidence developed slowly as learners accumulated successful learning moments, enabling them to take risks and communicate more willingly. Notably, the study found evidence of psychological empowerment, as learners began to view themselves as capable of engaging with tourists and contributing to the village’s tourism development. These psychological processes collectively shaped learners’ readiness to use English in real-world tourism contexts. The study concludes that emotional and psychological experiences play a central role in adult English learning in rural settings, suggesting that community-based language programs must attend to learners’ psychological needs to support sustainable language development and tourism participation.

Abstract

In recent years, Balinese government focus on developing cultural tourism as a strategic sector for regional growth. Tourism industry has a close relationship with the tourism institution that provide the industry with the ready-made workers. Existing materials have not adequately addressed the dual imperative of enhancing English proficiency while simultaneously fostering intercultural values. However, the scarcity of contextually relevant English learning materials for students in Cultural and Religious Tourism Study Programs remains a critical concern. This study adopts a qualitative case study design to investigate these issues. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving 20 students from two Cultural and Religious Tourism Study Programs in Buleleng and Bangli Regencies, as well as four English lecturers. Drawing on the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model, the findings indicate several significant gaps. At the contextual level, the existing syllabus lacks systematic integration of domain-specific vocabulary and terminology related to tourism, culture, and religion. At the input level, instructional materials are insufficiently aligned with intercultural competencies and do not adequately support higher levels of language proficiency. From the process perspective, current teaching practices require substantial enhancement through the incorporation of innovative, authentic, and technology-integrated learning activities that meaningfully embed intercultural values. At the product level, assessment practices remain limited and should be diversified to better align with learning objectives and competency-based outcomes. Overall, this study highlights the pressing need for the development of integrated English learning materials that are context-sensitive, interculturally oriented, and pedagogically robust to support the demands of cultural tourism education in Bali.
