Abstract

This study investigates lecturers' experiences implementing digital learning in English reading classes in Indonesian higher education. With the widespread adoption of digital technology, English reading classes that previously relied on printed texts and face-to-face interactions increasingly integrate digital tools to enhance student engagement and comprehension. This research uses a qualitative approach to explore lecturers' experiences adapting their teaching methodologies with digital tools. The purposive sample involves five lecturers teaching English reading classes at Maros Muslim University who have experience with traditional methods and digital learning, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected through one-on-one interviews, providing rich, detailed accounts of how lecturers integrate digital learning into their teaching practices. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, following the methodological framework of Braun & Clarke (2006). This approach involved systematically identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) within the data. The findings reveal that lecturers demonstrate high flexibility in using various digital devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets to meet different teaching needs. Lecturers also emphasize the importance of the interactive capabilities of digital tools, which can transform passive reading into a more dynamic and engaging experience. However, they also acknowledge the value of traditional learning materials like printed books, which remain important for tasks requiring deep engagement and critical thinking. The study highlights the need to balance digital and traditional learning resources to create inclusive and effective learning environments. The lecturers' experiences adapting to digital tools are crucial for successfully implementing digital learning and improving educational outcomes. This study provides valuable insights into the practical realities of digital learning implementation and strategies to support lecturers in this transition process.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the current situation of Indonesian ELT concerning the recommendation to integrate more cultural elements in ELT practices. To achieve the objective, some studies were critically reviewed to gain insights into Indonesian ELT researchers' latest trends and perspectives. The writer collected some articles related to the topic written in the last ten years and reviewed them using some steps of critical literature review. The results show that many efforts have been made to integrate Indonesian cultures into Indonesian ELT practices, especially in learning materials. However, there is a discrepancy between the growing concerns regarding the negative impacts of Western values through ELT classrooms and the preference among Indonesian students towards target and international cultures of English. More studies are needed to gain better perspectives.

Abstract

This research explores the influence of online integrated learning on students’ anxiety within the English Language Education Program at Muhammadiyah University of East Kalimantan (UMKT). The study investigates the impact of online integrated learning in the English General Course on students' anxiety levels. It examines significant differences in anxiety levels between students actively using online platforms and those who do not. The sample consisted of 117 freshmen, with data collected via questionnaires assessing comfort with technology, perceptions of its effectiveness, and its impact on anxiety levels. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, the One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, ANOVA, and Bonferroni multiple comparisons, were employed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the findings. Key results indicate a mean anxiety score of 41.55 and a mean achievement score of 78.21, reflecting moderate anxiety and relatively high academic performance. The One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test confirmed the normal distribution of the data (p > 0.05), justifying the use of parametric methods. ANOVA results showed significant differences in anxiety levels and English scores based on online integrated learning (F = 166.159, p < 0.001). Bonferroni multiple comparisons revealed that lower anxiety was associated with higher English scores, with significant mean differences observed between low, medium, and high anxiety groups (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that online integrated learning significantly impacts students' anxiety levels, which in turn affects their academic performance. The study provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers on the importance of creating supportive and anxiety-reducing learning environments in technology-enhanced settings

Abstract

This study investigates lecturers' perceptions of metacognitive scaffolding in writing instruction at Universitas Halu Oleo. Utilizing a qualitative exploratory case study design, data were collected through interviews with three lecturers from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education. Thematic analysis revealed that while lecturers acknowledge the benefits of metacognitive scaffolding for developing independent writers, they encounter obstacles such as large class sizes, time constraints, and varied student engagement. The study aimed to provide insights for improving writing instruction practices and policy development. Lecturers discovered that metacognitive scaffolding is essential for helping students develop writing performances and engagement. The study’s findings align with literature emphasizing the importance of metacognitive strategies and structured feedback in writing instruction. The integration of technology and the positive impact of lecturers' personalities further support the effectiveness of metacognitive scaffolding in enhancing students' writing performance and engagement. Lecturers perceive the implementation of metacognitive scaffolding in writing courses as crucial for improving students' writing performance and fostering independent, reflective learning, although they acknowledge challenges such as students' difficulties with coherence and vocabulary and the distractions of technology.

Abstract

This research examines the Cold War's socio-political conflicts and global impacts as depicted in The Partisan, a historical espionage novel by Patrick Worrall. Using Laurenson and Swingewood's theory of literary sociology, the study explores the novel's portrayal of ideological and military tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, focusing on the broader implications of these conflicts on modern political, social, and technological systems. Through close textual analysis, the research identifies themes of hegemony, ideological rivalry, and power struggles in the novel, reflecting the Cold War's influence on bloc countries. The study also highlights significant socio-political conflicts, including the arms race, the Berlin Wall crisis, and Baltic resistance, which illustrate the pervasive influence of Cold War ideologies on geopolitical landscapes. The findings underscore the Cold War's role in shaping contemporary societal structures, urban planning, technological advancements, and economic policies. By contextualizing The Partisan within historical events, this research contributes to understanding how literature reflects and critiques the long-term effects of Cold War tensions on global civilization, ultimately revealing the inseparability of historical conflicts from present-day socio-political realities.

Abstract

This study explores teachers' perceptions and experiences implementing translanguaging strategies in rural English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms in south Buton, Indonesia. This research is a case study where the limit of this research is to focus on teacher perceptions and experiences in implementing translanguaging in English language learning in three secondary schools in rural areas in South Buton, Indonesia. The subjects of this research were three English teachers at three different schools in South Buton. This subject is expected to provide an overview of teachers' perceptions and experiences in implementing translanguaging in some rural schools in an Indonesian context. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and class observation with three experienced EFL teachers at three rural junior high schools in South Buton. The findings reveal that teachers perceive translanguaging as effectively enhancing students' learning comprehension, and the use of translanguaging can create inclusive and culturally responsive learning in EFL classrooms. The study highlights predominantly positive attitudes towards translanguaging, with teachers perceiving it as an effective tool for facilitating learning in linguistically diverse classrooms. Teachers report positive experiences, citing improved student understanding, increased engagement, and preservation of linguistic and cultural identities. The teachers' experience actively incorporated translanguaging strategies, using code-switching between English, Indonesian, and the local Cia-Cia language to enhance student comprehension. While acknowledging challenges such as balancing multiple languages and potential impacts on English proficiency development, teachers remain confident in translanguaging's effectiveness. This research is expected to contribute to the growing literature on translanguaging in EFL contexts and offer insights for educators in linguistically diverse settings.

Abstract

The implementation of motivational strategies not only promotes a positive attitude towards writing but also encourages more effective development of students’ writing skills. This study explores lecturers’ insights on how they perceive the motivational teaching strategies in their English writing class. This study employs a qualitative approach with two English writing lecturers from Maros Muslim University as participants. Semi-structured interviews and classroom observation were the instruments used to collect the data and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that both lecturers implement motivational strategies effectively by utilizing positive reinforcement, active learning strategies, and addressing students’ difficulties. Positive reinforcement significantly improves students’ motivation and writing performance. It was strengthened by the observational data that showed both lecturers constantly praised students whenever they responded positively during learning process. Lecturers emphasize that giving active learning strategies can motivate students to engage actively in writing tasks, which can enhance motivation and writing proficiency. The lecturers also acknowledge that addressing students’ difficulties is essential in reducing their anxiety and fostering confidence in writing. Recognizing and responding to students’ difficulties can reduce anxiety and encourage them to share their thoughts more confidently in writing.

Abstract

The study investigates student engagement in hybrid English-speaking classes at an Indonesian university, emphasizing synchronous and asynchronous learning. Hybrid learning combines live (synchronous) and flexible (asynchronous) methods to enhance student engagement in cognitive, behavioral, and emotional dimensions. Conducted as a qualitative study, this research involved 20 second-semester students from the Faculty of Language and Literature at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews to explore students’ engagement in hybrid English-speaking classes across synchronous and asynchronous learning. The findings reveal that hybrid learning fosters high levels of cognitive engagement by promoting active participation, critical thinking, and access to resources supported by responsive lecturers. Behavioral engagement is similarly enhanced through interactive digital tools and inclusive class discussions, encouraging frequent practice and skill reinforcement. Emotional engagement, however, varies, as some students benefit from the flexibility of online learning, while others face challenges due to reduced face-to-face interaction with lecturers. Key challenges identified include maintaining consistent motivation in virtual environments, managing distractions in home settings, and addressing feelings of being overlooked due to limited real-time lecturer attention. Additionally, technology dependency and variable comfort levels with hybrid learning pose challenges for engagement. The study concludes that effective hybrid learning designs that address cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement can significantly enhance student involvement and learning outcomes. These insights contribute to a better understanding of engagement dynamics in hybrid English-speaking courses, offering practical implications for designing more effective learning experiences. However, the study's focus on a specific group of English-speaking students at one institution limits how broadly the findings can be applied. To better understand the strengths and challenges of hybrid learning, future studies should consider a more diverse sample, mix qualitative and quantitative data, and look at how instructor involvement impacts engagement across different learning environments.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between extroversion and speaking proficiency among 27 pre-service English teachers at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sorong. Using a correlational research design, data were collected through the Revised-Short Form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQR-S) and a speaking skills test using a rubric by O'Malley (1996). The data were analysed using SPSS version 27 and Pearson product-moment correlation techniques. The results reveal an insignificant negative correlation (r = -0.108, p > 0.05) between extroversion and speaking skills, indicating no substantial link between these variables. Most students displayed moderate extroversion, but their speaking scores predominantly fell into the "enough" and "poor" categories. Highly extroverted students could have consistently achieved better speaking proficiency. Personalized teaching strategies are recommended to address students' diverse needs. Extroverted learners benefit from group discussions and collaborative projects, while introverted students perform better in quieter settings, such as one-on-one discussions or recorded tasks. These tailored approaches can enhance confidence and improve speaking skills across personality types. Further research is needed to explore other factors influencing pre-service teachers’ speaking skills.
