Abstract

Critical thinking becomes a fundamental goal of higher education. Thus, critical thinking is a crucial competence in learning a foreign language. For this reason, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks support EFL learners and encourage their critical thinking ability. The present content analysis research investigates to what extent critical thinking is implemented in the EFL textbook used by senior high school students in Indonesia. It mainly determines whether the tasks in the EFL textbook promote students’ critical thinking skills. The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (MONEC) authorizes the analysis of the EFL textbook. Freeman's critical thinking framework was used for the analytic categories. The findings found that the textbook promoted critical thinking from the affected aspect rather than the content and language questions in Freeman's framework. Moreover, the activities in the textbook mostly focused on how students delivered their responses to the topic in the EFL textbook. The findings recommend promoting critical thinking through affect questions, which has been considered one of the educational objectives in this country; textbook developers need to generate more tasks endorsing critical thinking in content and language. Furthermore, EFL teachers must be trained to vary the tasks that can encourage students' CT skills.

Abstract

The limited classroom learning time makes autonomous learning skills crucial for students to enhance their English language proficiency. However, the lecturer should also control students’ autonomous learning including the learning content. This study explores students' perceptions of the control over learning content by students and the lecturer for promoting autonomous English learning. The researchers employed a qualitative method with interviews, observation, and documentation to gather the data. There were 15 non-English department students as the subject of the study. The finding revealed that the students had autonomy in controlling their English learning content such as determining the content reference, the content form, and adapting to needs. Although they began to have autonomy, they needed the lecturer’s role to support them. It was remainder for the lecturer that the role of facilitator, counsellor, and evaluator in English language teaching. Therefore, exploring students’ perceptions related to their autonomy in English learning is important to enhance teaching further.

Abstract

This research explores the themes of identity, displacement, resistance, and hope within K'naan's song "Wavin' Flag" through a postcolonial lens and a historical biographical approach. Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, K'naan experienced firsthand the turmoil of the Somali Civil War, leading to his displacement and resettlement in North America. Drawing upon his personal experiences as a Somali diaspora individual, K'naan intricately weaves together imagery, narrative, and symbolism within the song to convey the complex realities of the diasporic experience. The analysis of the song's lyrics reveals a profound exploration of K'naan's connection to Somalia, his struggles with displacement, and his resilience in the face of adversity. For the approach, this study integrates postcolonial theory with historical biographical criticism. It aims to elucidate the intricate relationship among personal experience, cultural context, and artistic expression within the Somali diaspora community. In conclusion, this research underscores the significance of "Wavin' Flag" in portraying the complex realities of the Somali diaspora experience, while highlighting the transformative power of literature to foster cultural understanding, resilience, and social change.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of indigenous knowledge into children’s literature as a means of promoting disaster resilience among young readers. Through the lens of ecocriticism and descriptive qualitative research methodology, the study investigates the portrayal of smong, a form of indigenous knowledge from the Simeulue region of Indonesia, in two selected Literacy Cloud short stories: “Tsunami” by Yovita Siswanti and “Smong, the Dragon” by Maya Lestari. The analysis reveals how these stories effectively incorporate smong as a repository of local wisdom and resilience lessons in the face of natural disasters. Encouraging initiatives to incorporate more themes of indigenous knowledge into children's literature is crucial for promoting cultural preservation. In addition, integrating indigenous knowledge—particularly those with content related to disaster resilience—is valuable to empower children in disaster-prone areas. Overall, the study highlights the potential of children’s literature and digital platforms for education in fostering a harmonious relationship between humanity and the natural world amidst the challenges of environmental sustainability and possibilities of natural disasters.
