Abstract

This research aims to determine the correlation between English learners’ motivation and speaking achievement due to the lack of student motivation, particularly in speaking skills that affect the speaking score. The samples of this study were 19 students taken from the second semester of the English Department at the Muslim University of Maros. The method used was mixed methods with correlational technique. Quantitative data was collected by distributing questionnaires to students using Gardner's Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) indicators and the speaking scores taken from the speaking lecturer. Then, qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews. In analyzing quantitative data, questionnaires assessed by Likert Scale and speaking scores were analyzed using SPSS, while the qualitative data used Miles and Huberman analysis. The quantitative data results indicate a correlation between the motivation of English learners and speaking achievement, with a score of 0.672. It is considered that the higher the motivation in learning speaking, the better the speaking achievement the students achieve. Students with high motivation will try to follow the learning process intensively compared to those with less motivation. Furthermore, students' extrinsic and intrinsic motivation were analyzed by looking at the AMTB’s Gardner and the results of the interview as well. The data results indicated that students show extrinsic motivation more than intrinsic motivation in their speaking achievement.

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the quality of teachers' beliefs in teaching English and its implementation in the curriculum in Bima Regency. The method used is descriptive qualitative and uses purposive sampling techniques. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with ten teachers from two different schools with questions about teacher experience, teaching experience, educational principles, and teacher personality, then analyzed by data reduction, display, conclusions, and verification. The research results show that: 1) the teacher has an educational background relevant to English subjects and strong motivation to choose an English education major. They also identify idols or role models in learning English. 2) The teachers' teaching experience, with most teachers having taught for more than five years, shows that they consider their main task to be educating, guiding, and providing information to students. Teachers also feel the most impressive experience is when their students succeed. 3) teachers remember the importance of knowledge about content, pedagogy, and students in the teaching process. 4) there is a lack of research and use of specific teaching methods, strategies, and approaches. 5) Implementing the new independent curriculum begins in classes X and XI, with efforts to measure student characteristics and potential, although teachers are still limited in designing open modules. This research concludes that teachers have strong confidence in teaching English, but there are still challenges in implementing the new curriculum.

Abstract

This research aimed to discover the impact of explicit instruction on teaching vocabulary to students with vocabulary difficulties. This explicit instruction involves directly teaching vocabulary words, providing detailed definitions, and practicing using these words in the context of sentences. The participants were 95 fourth-grade students. Participants who scored under 40 on the vocabulary test were randomly assigned to the experimental or control classes. The experimental group receives explicit instruction, while the control group receives conventional teaching from a teacher in a whole group setting. The experiment was conducted twice a week during 20 learning sessions. A teacher taught The reference group the same vocabulary as the whole group. Based on the data analysis using a mixed-model (multi-level) Time Condition analysis, the results remarked the moderate effect of the intervention on students' vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension. Besides, the experiment group could write better sentences using the vocabulary taught than the control group. Research implication was also discussed

Abstract

This research was designed as descriptive qualitative research and aimed at figuring out whether or not the Islamic values were integrated with the lesson plan and the syllabus teachers designed. It is essential to see if these values are integrated, considering that JSIT mandates all Islamic schools to incorporate them in all subjects at all levels. The research took place in Mataram, taking English teachers and schools’ curriculum vice principals in four different Islamic integrated schools spread in Mataram as the subjects. Data was collected through document study and interviews. A document study was conducted to see if the Islamic values were added to the indicators and the teaching procedures teachers designed in both the lesson plan and syllabus. A semi-structured interview was carried out with 4 English teachers and 4 curriculum vice principals who were purposively chosen to get more in-depth and comprehensive information on the lesson plan and syllabus they designed. This research suggested that one school successfully implemented integration among the four integrated Islamic schools. This is seen in their indicators and the teaching procedures that reflect Islamic values. The three schools were yet to implement the integration properly as they considered prayers before and after the lesson and some advice during the lesson as the integration.

Abstract

Education holds a crucial role in human life, connecting the roles of teachers and students in teaching and evaluation. Assessment, a big part of education, helps teachers understand how well students are doing as they learn. When assessing students, teachers must consider how each student learns, what they're good at, what they find challenging, and what they need to succeed in school. So, teachers must know how to do assessments well. This study aims to determine the teacher's understanding of formative assessment and how to apply formative assessment to learning English in assessing students' English skills. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method using interviews and observations. 7 English teachers from different schools were interviewed (4 teachers at SMAN 3 Maros, 1 teacher at MA Darussalam Barandasi, and 2 English teachers at SMKN 1 Maros). Meanwhile, observations were carried out once at each school. The findings show that teachers use formative assessment at the beginning, middle, and end of learning sessions to understand students' performance. Teachers see many benefits in using formative assessments, like measuring individual abilities, reaching learning goals, and understanding student needs better. Some teachers face challenges, like figuring out how each student is different, which shows they might need more help and training. Classroom observations also show that some schools do well with formative assessments, while others have problems, such as SMK 1 Maros, which has issues with students not showing up and using home-based assignments. This study suggests giving teachers more support and training to improve assessments and learning for everyone.

Abstract

Numerous studies have examined reading comprehension in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom; however, inconsistencies remain regarding the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies, particularly in fostering social interaction and individual responsibility. Although the jigsaw technique has frequently been recommended, few studies have explored how its core aspects influence reading outcomes. This study aims to investigate, through a systematic literature review using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework, how the application of the jigsaw technique improves reading comprehension in EFL classrooms. A total of 24 relevant articles published between 2016 and 2025 were selected and systematically analyzed. The findings reveal two main aspects of the jigsaw technique’s implementation in the classroom: (1) building new knowledge through discussion and exchanging opinions, and (2) fostering a sense of individual responsibility in cooperative learning. The implications of these findings are that teachers can implement the jigsaw technique as a learning strategy to sharpen students’ reading comprehension by leveraging the aspects of collaborative discussion and individual responsibility inherent in the learning process.

Abstract

The rapid integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into higher education has raised new concerns for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers, particularly anxiety about professional value, pedagogical authority, and teacher identity. This explanatory sequential mixed-methods study examined how a culturally anchored professional development intervention could reduce AI-Induced Professional Anxiety (AIPA) and strengthen Teacher Psychological Capital (PsyCap). Twenty-five EFL lecturers who were also doctoral students participated in a 12-week Augmented Educator intervention grounded in Bugis-Makassar values: Sappa, Amaccang, and Siri' na Pacce. Quantitative data were collected using an adapted AIPA scale and a culturally adapted Teacher-PsyCap questionnaire, while qualitative data were drawn from reflective journals and interviews with eight participants. The findings showed a significant reduction in professional anxiety and notable gains in self-efficacy, resilience, hope, and optimism. The qualitative results further indicated that participants began to view AI not as a replacement for teachers, but as a tool requiring human judgment, cultural interpretation, and ethical guidance. The study argues that AI-related teacher development should move beyond technical training and include culturally meaningful psychological support for sustaining teacher agency in the GenAI era.

Abstract

Self-regulated learning (SRL) remains underexplored in relation to specific learning management platforms across different SRL dimensions, particularly in post-pandemic Indonesian higher education. This study investigated how Google Classroom (GC) supported SRL among fifth-semester EFL students enrolled in a Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) course at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed, with quantitative data gathered from 47 students via a validated 12-item Likert-scale questionnaire, followed by semi-structured group interviews with 33 students across 11 purposively selected groups of three. Survey results indicated a high overall mean (M = 3.90, SD = 0.80, α = .933) across six SRL dimensions, with Planning and Time Management perceived as most strongly supported (M = 4.14) and Social Learning as least supported (M = 3.63). Thematic analysis yielded four themes: deadline notifications as a primary regulatory trigger, flexible material access enabling autonomous learning, unstable internet connectivity as a structural barrier, and limited collaborative affordances within the platform. The findings indicate that students perceived GC as particularly useful for planning, time management, and self-monitoring, although its support for social learning and co-regulation remained limited. These results carry practical implications for CALL pedagogy, platform design, and digital infrastructure investment in comparable higher education contexts.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the most essential yet challenging skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. This study aims to identify speaking difficulties experienced by EFL learners, focusing on linguistic, psychological, and learning-related issues. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed in this study. The participants were 16 undergraduate students from an English Department at a private university in Indonesia. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of 12 closed-ended items and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages. The findings reveal that students experienced various speaking difficulties, with linguistic problems emerging as the most dominant factors. Vocabulary limitation was identified as the primary issue, reported by all participants, followed by difficulties in distinguishing similar sounds, sentence construction, forming expressions, comprehension, pronunciation, and intonation. In addition, psychological factors were also reported as barriers to students’ speaking performance. Fear of making mistakes and lack of confidence were among the most prominent psychological issues, while anxiety and shyness were reported at lower levels. Furthermore, lack of motivation was found as an important learning-related factor affecting students’ engagement in speaking activities. This study concludes that speaking difficulties in EFL learners are multifaceted, involving linguistic competence, psychological conditions, and learning-related factors. The findings suggest that effective speaking instruction should address both language proficiency and learners’ affective needs to enhance speaking performance.
