Abstract

This research is aimed at developing a project-based learning model incorporating prior knowledge activation for teaching writing. Teaching writing is challenging since the skill comprises linguistic and cognitive aspects. Writing is a process of pouring ideas into text which involve cognitive domain; therefore, a model for teaching writing needs to be tailored so that learners can learn writing and improve their skill. This study is a Design and Development research comprising 5 stages namely analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation (ADDIE). Through analysis, questionnaires were distributed to second grade students of MAN 5 Jombang. Interviews were also conducted with 2 teachers who taught writing to explore needs and problems in teaching writing. Then, design and development of the model was conducted, followed by implementing the model in MAN 5 Jombang. The result of analysis showed that students preferred learning model that involve them actively. In addition, students also stated that learning to write required knowledge regarding topics and other aspect related to writing such as grammar, mechanic and vocabulary. The model developed in this study employed project-based learning incorporating with prior knowledge. Thus, students learned in a project atmosphere, while prior knowledge activation was integrated in each phase to help them retrieve past knowledge and improve their writing. The result of pre and post-test showed that the model successfully improved students’ writing score from 50,39 to 86,21. The questionnaires distributed in evaluation stage revealed that students enjoyed the atmosphere of project-based learning and felt they understood the material better. In conclusion, the model successfully fixed learning atmosphere and improved students’ writing skill.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Wordwall as a digital learning tool to improve students' writing skills in procedure texts. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 72 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 8 Purworejo, divided into an experimental group (using Wordwall) and a control group (traditional methods). Data collection involved pre-tests, treatment, post-tests, and statistical analysis using SPSS 25. The findings revealed that students in the experimental group showed significant improvement, with their mean post-test score increasing to 80.00, compared to 68.42 in the control group. The paired sample t-test results indicated a significant difference in the writing performance of students exposed to Wordwall-based learning (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Students in the experimental group established higher engagement and motivation. These results suggest that Wordwall effectively enhances students' writing abilities, particularly in structuring and organizing procedure texts. Integrating game-based digital platforms like Wordwall in language learning can positively impact students' writing performance and motivation.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the ideology embedded in the folk tale scrapbook of Timun Mas and Buto Ijo through the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach based on Norman Fairclough's model. Folk tales, as a form of cultural narrative, not only convey moral messages but also represent social constructions, power relations, and ideological values that exist within society. Using Fairclough's three-dimensional analysis (text, discourse practice, and social practice), this research explores how the visuals and narrative in the scrapbook reflect and reproduce certain ideologies, such as the relationship between power and bravery, the representation of female characters, and moral antagonism. The analysis results show that the text structure and visual elements in the scrapbook contribute to a re-interpretation of gender roles, power dominance, and resistance through the symbolism of the Timun Mas character. This study emphasizes the importance of a critical reading of culture-based learning media in revealing the hidden ideologies that shape the way young people think.

Abstract

This study sought to analyze how the third-semester students of the English Education Study Program of Widya Mandira Catholic University structured their writings based on the generic structures and language features of argumentative writing. A qualitative descriptive method was used in this study. The findings revealed the most common problem was the absence of counterarguments, which was found in the writings of 24 students (80%). There was also a problem of merging the generic structures, which was done by 14 students (46.67%). In correlation to this, 11 students (36.67%) contained weak and unclear conclusions in their writings. Another problem found was the lack of formal tone, where 13 students (43.33%) still used casual and informal phrases, and they showed subjective and informal attitude towards the topics. Errors of omission, addition, misformation, and misordering were also found in 14 students’ writings (46.67%). Misformation was the most frequently found with the total of 28 errors (45.16%), followed by omission with the total of 24 errors (38.71%), addition with the total of 7 errors (11.29%), and misordering with the total of 3 errors (4.84%), These findings suggest that simply assigning argumentative essays is not enough and there need to be more explicit guidance in structure, academic style, as well as grammar.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how structured drama activities supported by iterative teaching and peer evaluation could enhance learners’ pronunciation, fluency, and confidence in speaking English. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted to enhance the English-speaking abilities of tenth-grade students at one school in Batam through drama-based instruction. The study involved 44 students from Grade 10, who were selected based on document analysis indicating poor performance in speaking-related tasks. A systematic approach was utilized, which included a pre-test, two cycles of implementation, and a post-test. The pre-test results revealed that 59% of students were at Level 1 and 27% at Level 2, indicating serious deficiencies in pronunciation, fluency, and self-confidence. After the intervention, 100% of the students (n = 44) advanced to Level 3, representing a complete elimination of Level 1 and Level 2 classifications and a 52-point increase in average speaking scores (from M = 38.7 to M = 90.6). This improvement was achieved through structured drama activities such as monologues, role-plays, and improvisational skits supported by warm-up exercises, peer evaluation, and iterative teaching modifications. The findings confirm that drama is not only an effective practice-based strategy but also a theoretically grounded pedagogy aligned with Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, as it creates low-anxiety, interactive learning environments that facilitate authentic communication. The study contributes to both theory and pedagogy by demonstrating how scripted and improvised role-play can systematically transform learners’ oral proficiency in EFL classrooms while offering a replicable framework for adaptive, reflective language teaching.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the English language needs required by front office hotel staff in the tourist area of Mount Bromo, Probolinggo. The background of this research lies in the importance of English communication competence for hospitality workers in serving international tourists, particularly in major tourist destinations such as Bromo. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and questionnaires administered to hotel staff and front office managers. The findings indicate that the primary language needs include skills in greeting, reservation handling, check-in/out procedures, giving directions, and handling complaints within the context of hotel services. Furthermore, it was found that most staff has not received structured English training nor accessed context-relevant learning materials. These findings highlight the need for developing English training programs based on real workplace situations and integrating ESP (English for Specific Purposes) content into tourism training in the Probolinggo region. The results of this study can directly inform the development of targeted English training modules, support policy initiatives for workforce upskilling in the tourism sector, and guide the integration of ESP-based content into vocational curricula for hospitality education.

Abstract

The background of this research is the assumption that a gap exists, causing cultural conflict represented by Customs and Values (Culture) in English textbooks used in Junior High Schools, especially in grade 7. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine whether the gap is indeed true. Moreover, it will also be clear why the gap occurs and what the solution to the problem is. The research method employed is a qualitative approach using a content analysis research instrument to analyse the visualisations contained in English textbooks for grade 7 students in Junior High School. The visualisations are obtained from two selected English textbooks, namely English for Nusantara and English in Mind. The results of the study revealed social conflict in English textbooks used by 7th-grade junior high school students in the Customs and Values entity, which is part of the Culture sector. Based on a comprehensive data analysis, this study provides several conclusions. Referring to Berelson's content analysis steps, there was social conflict in terms of customs and values ​​in both English textbooks, namely English for Nusantara and English in Mind. After comparison, social conflict related to customs occurred more frequently than others, with a percentage of around 70% to 30%. Therefore, social conflict arose in both customs and values. This study contributes to the discourse on culturally sensitive English language teaching, offering practical guidance for curriculum designers, educators, and policymakers to enhance intercultural competence and contextual relevance in language learning.

Abstract

This study investigated vocabulary acquisition in an EFL classroom through student-generated glossaries, asking: which parts of speech students prefer, which semantic domains dominate, and how accurately and complexly students use target words in example sentences. Using purposive sampling, a descriptive content analysis was conducted on glossaries from three first-semester undergraduates. Entries and example sentences were coded in NVivo for part of speech, semantic domain, grammatical accuracy (error type), and sentence complexity; pilot coding and reliability checks informed the final codebook. Results showed nouns predominated (231 references), and high-frequency domains included idioms, people/relationships, technology, travel, and healthcare (390 references overall). Of 364 example sentences, simple sentences were most common (245), with complex (72), compound (38), and compound-complex (9) less frequent. Across sentences, 83 grammatical errors were identified, most often comma splices (10), missing verbs (9), and unclear meaning (9). These findings indicate learners' preference towards simple forms and struggle with clause boundary punctuation, verb form, and meaning clarity, underscoring the need for instruction that integrates form–meaning–use and sentence-level practice. Future research should enlarge the sample, examine proficiency and L1 effects, and test interventions that pair glossary building with guided example-sentence construction and feedback.

Abstract

Digital reading platforms have transformed the landscape of language instruction, particularly within the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, where traditional methods often fall short in meeting diverse learner needs. Grounded in sociocognitive and constructivist perspectives on digital literacy, this study explores how EreadingWorksheets.com enhances strategic reading comprehension and scaffolds metacognitive engagement in an Indonesian EFL program. Specifically, the research aims to investigate teachers’ perceptions of the platform’s effectiveness and the challenges and benefits experienced during its integration in the English Garden Course. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving twelve adolescent learners and their instructors. Thematic analysis revealed that teachers perceived the platform as effective for differentiated instruction and student motivation, while also observing improvements in learners’ strategy use. However, challenges related to cultural mismatches in content, limited digital access, and curriculum misalignment were also reported. These findings suggest that while EreadingWorksheets.com offers significant pedagogical affordances, its effectiveness depends on teacher mediation and contextual adaptation. The study underscores the critical role of educators in optimizing digital tools and provides practical insights for the design of technology-enhanced reading instruction that promotes cognitive depth and literacy equity in EFL classrooms.
