As the term applied implies, this journal combines interdisciplinary discussions on language issues that would bridge not only systematic investigations of the language , but also the theories, research methods, and practices within the scope of applied linguistics and language teaching. Therefore, the contributions are welcome in the following areas (but not limited to) of study; current trends in ELT, language learning & acquisitions, teaching media &technology, linguistic aspects of language learning & teaching, English for specific purposes, and Englishes in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

The integration of technology in education, particularly in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, has become increasingly important in providing students with effective and engaging language learning experiences. However, traditional teaching methods have long been criticized for their inability to engage students and promote active participation in the learning process. Thus, this study explored the impact of Slido, an interactive platform, on classroom engagement and learning outcomes in an ESP course. The research design employed mixed methods, including a questionnaire to collect data from ESP students. The findings indicated that Slido technology influenced students' perceptions of classroom engagement, motivation, and satisfaction. The interactive features of Slido, such as quizzes, polls, and surveys, fostered immediate feedback and increased student engagement. ESP teachers were encouraged to incorporate interactive technology like Slido to enhance student learning experiences, while students were encouraged to actively participate in such activities. Further research was recommended to investigate the long-term effectiveness of Slido technology, as well as its impact on ESP teachers' practices and professional development. Overall, Slido technology shows the potential in transforming ESP classrooms into interactive and engaging learning environments. It has the potential to revolutionize language learning and provide students with practical language skills for real-world contexts.

Abstract

This research investigates the perceptions of Indonesian students regarding the ideals of native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) and non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs) in English Language Teaching (ELT). This research is library research that reviews recent research on native English teachers and non-native English teachers related to the implications of the research in ELT. The analysis shows that NESTs and NNESTs demonstrate significant distinctions in their teaching. These distinctions can be influenced by their strengths and weaknesses. It cannot be denied that the differences may influence students’ perceptions/opinions of the ideal English teachers. Several previous studies state the students’ positive perceptions between NESTs and NNESTs in teaching. The research tries to combine the perceptions of the two. Both NESTs and NNESTs should ideally have identical opportunities to become ideal English teachers within the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Both NESTs and NNESTs have an equal opportunity to be ideal teachers and play the main functions in the educational context in Indonesia. However, they should have a strong command of the language, strong teaching skills, and positive personal qualities. Teaching English must emphasize the content of the teacher's skills rather than the irrelevant non-native status. It is expected that the issue of nativeness does not affect student perceptions of NESTs and NNESTs in terms of ideal for English teachers later. For the continued development of EFL in Indonesia, the availability of qualified English teachers is crucial. They must possess at least three essential skills including linguistic, pedagogical, and cultural.
