Abstract

This study aims to explore the perspectives of junior high school English teachers in Kalimantan Barat on the implementation of differentiated instruction (DI) in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. Using a descriptive survey method, data were gathered from 108 teachers through a validated closed-ended questionnaire. The findings reveal that while teachers generally possess a strong understanding of DI and hold positive beliefs about its effectiveness, its application varies, particularly in addressing students' readiness, interests, and learning profiles. Key barriers include limited resources, large class sizes, and insufficient administrative support. The study highlights the need for targeted professional development and resource allocation to support DI implementation. Recommendations include improving training programs and increasing support from school administrations. Limitations of the study include a focus on one geographic region, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. These insights are relevant for enhancing DI practices in similarly diverse educational settings.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore vocabulary teaching techniques applied by EFL teachers in primary schools in Depok, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, the study involved observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis as primary data collection methods. Three EFL female teachers from three primary schools in Depok participated in this research. The findings reveal that repetition drills and translation are the most commonly used strategies due to their effectiveness in vocabulary retention and comprehension. Visual aids and interactive activities like games also play a significant role, though their use is often limited by resource constraints, and large class sizes. The research suggests that combining traditional methods with innovative approaches can improve vocabulary teaching, but further support in terms of resources and professional development is necessary for teachers to maximize their effectiveness. The study recommends future research focusing on digital tools and technology-based interventions, assessing the impact of teacher training programs, and comparing urban and rural contexts. Additionally, exploring the long-term effects of these techniques on students’ language proficiency would provide valuable insights for enhancing English education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of digital storytelling on improving college students' speaking skills, based on Vygotsky’s Social Constructivism, which emphasizes the role of social interaction and cultural tools in learning. Using a quasi-experimental design, 60 fourth-semester students at the Islamic Institute of Sunan Kalijogo Malang were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group from the Faculty of Islamic Da'wah and Broadcasting engaged in digital storytelling, while the control group, including students from the Tarbiyah and Teaching Faculty, did not. Narrative texts such as fairy tales and fables were used in the intervention. The experimental group showed a significant improvement in speaking skills, with their mean post-test score increasing from 55.39 to 61.72, compared to a decrease in the control group's score from 57.01 to 55.12. Digital storytelling effectively enhances students' speaking skills by providing engaging, interactive learning experiences. The study supports the integration of digital storytelling into language instruction to improve oral communication abilities

Abstract

This study explores women's empowerment in literature, focusing on the interplay between tradition and modernity across different cultural contexts. Employing comparative literary analysis, this research examines Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid and Mangalua by Idris Pasaribu. The methodology involves thematic and narrative analysis, where thematic analysis identifies key motifs related to empowerment, resistance, and gender roles, while narrative analysis examines how each character's story arc reflects broader societal norms. Through these analyses, the study highlights how each protagonist navigates societal expectations and challenges gender norms within traditional and modern frameworks. Findings indicate that both novels use women’s empowerment as a lens to critique and reshape cultural expectations, offering insights into gender roles across varied societies. The study concludes with recommendations for further research on cross-cultural gender narratives, acknowledges the limitations of focusing on only two novels, and suggests broader literary comparisons for future studies.

Abstract

This research explores the use of politeness strategies in the 2020 U.S. Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The study aims to analyze how each candidate utilized these strategies to navigate the debate and influence public perception. By applying qualitative analysis, the research examines debate transcripts through the lens of Brown and Levinson's politeness theory, while also considering non-verbal cues using McNeill's coding scheme. The results show that Trump frequently employed direct and often confrontational bald-on-record strategies, whereas Biden leaned towards positive politeness, seeking to build a sense of connection with the audience. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of politeness strategies in political communication, highlighting their impact on the dynamics of public discourse.

Abstract

This study aims to measure students’ interest in using ChatGPT to teach English using the debate clinic method to improve students’ speaking skills. Descriptive quantitative research involving 14 students of the Islamic Religious Education Study Program, STAI DDI Pinrang, used a questionnaire to measure four indicators of learning interest: feelings of pleasure, interest, paying attention, and involvement. The results revealed that the student’s average score of learning interest reached 77, indicating a relatively high interest. Students’ participation in formulating and refuting arguments during debates proves that ChatGPT positively impacts the development of students’ critical thinking skills. Therefore, this study contributes to developing technology-based pedagogy, especially in academic debate. Integrating ChatGPT in the debate process allows teachers to create a more dynamic and interactive learning environment where students can be more actively involved. However, the study has several limitations. First, the limited number of samples, so generalizing the study results may not apply to a broader population. Additionally, it only focused on one study program at one institution, so the results may not reflect the situation at other institutions. Therefore, further research can explore other factors that influence learning interest, such as pedagogical aspects and technology used in the learning process.

Abstract

Literacy skills still become a serious challenge for elementary school students in Indonesia. Thus, this research aimed to develop interactive storybooks to support literacy activities at elementary schools. This study can be classified as a research and development study following the Successive Approximation Model. Study data were collected from teachers and students at one of the elementary schools in Bali through interviews, documentation, expert judgment, and questionnaires. Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Interview and documentation results underwent qualitative analysis using interactive data analysis models. Expert judgment results were analyzed using the inter-rater agreement model, while questionnaire results were analyzed descriptively and categorized using intervals derived from theoretical ideal reference assessments. The findings revealed a strong preference among students for flipbooks with vibrant illustrations, animal characters, smartphone compatibility, and interactive quizzes. The expert judgment further confirmed the suitability of the content for children and its ability to improve students' understanding of narratives. Besides, students’ feedback indicated high acceptance and enthusiasm for the developed flipbooks. However, it is essential to note that the limitation of the study lies in the evaluation regarding the impact of flipbooks on students' literacy skills, which was not conducted. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct a further study utilizing experimental methodology to validate their effectiveness in improving elementary school student’s literacy.
