The language, be it verbal or non-verbal, has been the primary medium of human interactions to take place. However, there still seems to be a little attempt for a thorough investigations in understanding problematic issues that may emerge because of the language. Issues in Applied Linguistics & Language Teaching (IALTEACH) aims at bringing together scholars whose interests fall upon the areas of applied linguistics and language teaching to publish their scholarly articles in IALTEACH. 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

This study investigates the effectiveness of role play in improving students’ speaking skills and explores the challenges and strategies associated with its implementation. Employing Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the methodology, the study involved 19 students over three weeks, incorporating pre-tests, role play activities, and post-tests. The results revealed significant improvements in students’ speaking abilities, with the average score rising from 27.2 to 42. Pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension improved from the “poor” to “fair” category, while vocabulary and grammar showed progress but remained “poor.” The role play activities, based on realistic scenarios, enhanced students’ confidence and interactive communication skills. Data from rubrics, observations, and questionnaires supported these findings, confirming the technique’s effectiveness. However, the study highlights the need for additional strategies to address persistent weaknesses in vocabulary and grammar. These findings contribute to practical teaching methods, offering insights into integrating role play to foster more effective communication in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Recently, considerable debate has emerged regarding the assessment of students’ speaking performance, particularly due to the influence of cultural and subjective factors that shape lecturers’ approaches to constructing speaking assessments. These ongoing discussions highlight the need for heightened awareness among educators about the complexities involved in evaluating oral proficiency. The primary aim of this paper is to propose a method for designing speaking assessments that are specifically tailored to the Indonesian higher education context. In doing so, the paper emphasizes the importance of adopting the criteria for effective assessment as outlined by (Brown & Abeywickrama, 2020). According to these scholars, an effective speaking assessment should be grounded in clearly defined criteria, involve tasks that are both appropriate and maximally productive, and utilize practical as well as reliable scoring procedures. Based on these principles, this paper recommends that lecturers develop speaking assessments that are not only methodologically sound but also contextually relevant and responsive to the unique needs of their students. By doing so, lecturers can ensure that their assessment practices are both fair and meaningful within the Indonesian university setting. The implementation of the proposed assessment model enables lecturers to conduct speaking evaluations that are fair, objective, and tailored to the Indonesian EFL context. This approach not only enhances the validity and reliability of speaking assessments but also supports students’ communicative competence and improves the overall quality of English language instruction at the university level.

Abstract

This study investigated how teachers enhanced their professional self-understanding as educators and how this self-understanding influenced their teaching performance. The study adopted a narrative inquiry research design. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews, guided by Kelchtermans’ theory. The data were gathered from seven teachers in Sekolah Penggerak, categorized into two groups: novice teachers and experienced teachers. Thematic data analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. The research drew two main conclusions regarding teachers’ professional identities and the impact of continuous learning on their performance. First, most teachers unequivocally identify themselves as educators. Second, professional self-understanding significantly impacts teachers' teaching performance. The study suggested several recommendations for future research to expand upon its findings and provided more comprehensive insights into professional self-understanding in various educational contexts.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of video-based instruction in improving the English pronunciation skills of 32 second-year students at a public senior high school in South Sulawesi. Using a one-group pre-test–post-test design over one month, students participated in eight sessions incorporating video materials that modeled vowels, consonants, stress, intonation, and rhythm. Quantitative data from pre- and post-tests were analyzed using SPSS. Results showed a significant improvement in pronunciation scores—from an average of 48.50 (“poor”) to 65.75—with a paired-samples t-test (t = –10.213, p = 0.000) confirming the statistical significance. Students made notable gains in producing unfamiliar phonemes and recognizing word stress, though intonation and rhythm remained more challenging. These findings suggest that video-assisted learning can enhance pronunciation outcomes in EFL classrooms. Practically, this implies that teachers should integrate multimedia tools into instruction to increase student engagement, provide authentic models, and foster more effective and inclusive pronunciation learning environments.

Abstract

Many language learners face challenges in developing English speaking fluency, including mispronunciation, limited vocabulary, and low self-confidence. This study examines the effectiveness of the ELSA Speak application in improving speaking skills and reducing speaking barriers. Using an Explanatory Sequential Design, the research includes a quantitative phase followed by a qualitative phase. In the quantitative phase, students took pre-tests and post-tests to measure progress. Results showed significant improvement, especially in pronunciation. The qualitative phase involved interviews to explore students’ experiences using the app. Findings revealed increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and positive responses to the app’s real-time feedback and pronunciation correction features. Despite minor technical issues, students found ELSA Speak engaging and helpful for independent practice. The study concludes that ELSA Speak is an effective tool for enhancing fluency and addressing speaking difficulties. These results suggest that digital applications can support traditional language learning by providing structured and interactive speaking practice.

Abstract

This study was situated within the context of college-level English-as-a-foreign- language education in China. It compared the effectiveness of AI-generated feedback and teacher feedback in improving English learners’ writing proficiency. A questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews were also conducted to examine learners’ acceptance of and attitudes toward AI feedback. Results revealed that both the experimental group (receiving AI feedback) and the control group (receiving teacher feedback) showed significantly higher post-test scores compared to their pretest scores. Although the mean difference in post-test scores between the two groups exceeded that of the pretest, no statistically significant difference was found in their final performance, suggesting comparable efficacy between AI feedback and teacher feedback in enhancing writing proficiency. Additionally, the experimental group demonstrated moderate acceptance of AI feedback, with perceptions varying across proficiency levels. However, learners universally agreed that combining teacher feedback and AI feedback would yield greater benefits for writing development. The study concludes that both feedback modalities have distinct benefits and misfits, advocating for their integrated—rather than exclusive—use in writing instruction.

Abstract

This study examines the use of comic strips in improving students' reading comprehension in various educational contexts. The results of the analysis show that the use of comic strips is effective in improving reading comprehension scores, as well as encouraging students' interest, active participation, enthusiasm, and excitement in learning. For example, at SMA MUHAMMADIYAH 7 Serbelawan, the use of comic strips significantly increased the average reading comprehension score compared to the control class. At SMPN 13 Palu, the integration of comic strips in reading learning showed a marked increase in scores, supported by statistical analysis that supported the results. Recommendations were given to integrate comic strips in English teaching practice to improve the effectiveness of reading learning. In addition, it is hoped that the use of this comic strip can have a positive impact on improving students' reading comprehension, where some students still experience difficulties in understanding a text.Overall, this study confirms that comic strips are an effective learning medium for improving students' reading comprehension and enriching their learning experience.

Abstract

The study’s purpose, participants, and main findings; however, the implications of the research are not clearly articulated. Although the text briefly states that instructors should understand students’ affective components and identify strategies to address challenges, this statement remains too general. The authors should explicitly explain how the findings can inform instructional practices in English-speaking programs for example, by guiding teachers in designing affective-based interventions, adapting classroom activities to reduce anxiety, enhancing support for low-confidence learners, or creating more student-centered speaking environments. Clarifying these implications will strengthen the abstract by demonstrating the practical relevance of the study and highlighting its contribution to teaching and learning in English Village contexts.

Abstract

Professional development is crucial in improving teachers’ teaching quality and student outcomes. Hence, it is essential to identify the challenges and the current practices that language teachers faced in professional development, in Western Indonesia. To achieve the aim of this study. This study systematically reviews fifteen empirical articles from 2018 to 2025, sourced from SINTA, Google Scholar, and EBSCO. The analysis results were categorized in five themes: (1) teachers’ participating in offline and online workshops, (2) teachers involving in formal and informal training, (3) cultural-discursive arrangements influencing  teachers’ participation, (4) material-economic arrangements limiting acccess, and (5) social-political arrangements shaping institutional. The results show that teachers heavily rely on external training, workshops dominate in current practices, and structural barriers such as limited resources and extrinsic motivation limit teachers’ participation. By exploring specific challenges and practices in Western Indonesia and putting them within the Theory of Practice Architecture, the study synthesizes these findings and adds to the literature on professional development in Indonesia. The review emphasizes the necessity of context-specific methods that use school-based models, technology innovation, and mentoring to promote continuous teacher development.
