Abstract

This study presents the reflections of two Indonesian mothers working as EFL teachers on their experiences of fostering their children's bilingual development. It employed a narrative inquiry approach, gathering the participants' stories through oral and multimodal narratives. The mothers shared their stories during a semi-structured interview and through photos and videos. The findings reveal that the participating mothers introduced English to their children early by engaging them in natural English interactions and activities such as story reading before bed, hands-on activities, role-playing, games, and daily communication. Despite many similarities in activities, the consistency and continuity of providing exposure to English and Indonesian languages are different. The first mother implemented One Parent One Language Strategy (OPOL) with her child, using English with mother and Indonesian with father. On its journey, she shifted the strategy to Minority Language at Home strategy (MLaH) due to her husband’s passing with her child communicated English at home and learned Indonesian from school, relatives, and communities. Meanwhile, the second mother used English and Indonesian (mixing language strategy) to communicate with her daughter, using English as the dominant language. When her daughter started mixing the structure of the languages and experienced language confusion, the second mother minimized English use at home and shifted to using Indonesian as the dominant language at home. The findings also indicate that in nurturing children’s bilingualism, the mothers’ choices of practices involved five aspects of reflection: their philosophy, belief, theory, practice, and sociocultural aspect beyond practice. This study highlights that the process of nurturing children’s bilingual development is not a linear process. It involves a more complex relation of various factors that influence parents’ decision in (dis)continuing certain language policies.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation and design of English language curriculum development based on communicative competence in integrated Islamic primary schools. The data was taken from interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. The findings indicated that other parties, including the Olympic and competition procurement institutions, were involved in the development of the English language curriculum. English language teachers construct lesson plans under the supervision of the principal, guaranteeing fair execution. The Language Festival is a new design for developing communicative competence at the elementary school level through mentoring subject teachers as well as support from the school and parents.  It is designed to demonstrate the richness and diversity of language and instruct and enlighten individuals interested in languages and cultures about the languages spoken worldwide. This kind of external institution involvement is important to increase students' enthusiasm in primary school. The challenges include adapting face-to-face and remote curriculums, internet networks, and school manual content. They are solved by maintaining qualifying time allotments, partnering with language experts, leveraging asynchronous media, updating handbooks, and training for teachers.

Abstract

Many studies have explored various strategies and approaches to facilitate students’ learning to write in English. However, few studies investigated the potential use of localized, familiar, and more personalized topics to develop students’ English writing skills. Considering Krashen’s comprehensible input hypothesis and Piaget’s constructivist approach, this study aimed to explore whether topics about Islam can better facilitate students' learning to write in English in Indonesian Islamic colleges. A mixed method design, qualitative method through interviews with seven English writing lecturers from four Islamic colleges in Indonesia, and quantitative method using a student survey, which was responded to by 100 students, became the source of data. The findings informed that a process-oriented approach, positive feedback, and freedom of and familiarity with topics were the main contributing factors to students' English writing development. The salient findings suggested that careful consideration of topic selection and vocabulary familiarity should be made when assigning writing tasks using topics about Islam in Islamic colleges.

Abstract

The present study intends to investigate the possible contributing factors of thesis writing anxiety and the possible strategies that could be taken to help reduce thesis writing anxiety. For these purposes, this study conducted interviews with six Indonesian learners of English in English language departments and two Indonesian English lecturers who were thesis advisors. From Thematic Analysis, this study found two factors contributing to learners' anxiety. These were perceived inability to express ideas in good English writing and getting negative evaluations from their respective thesis advisor. Furthermore, three strategies were believed by both learners and advisors to help reduce learners' thesis writing anxiety. These included using grammar checker tools to improve writing quality and learning grammar, reading journal articles to improve learners’ mastery of the research topic, and creating a positive atmosphere for consultation sessions. Based on the findings, it is suggested, among others, that exposure to various academic texts and the use of grammar in academic contexts should be increased earlier in the curricula. Thesis advisors are also encouraged to show support and instill optimism. Contributions of this study are stated alongside several suggested directions for future studies.

Abstract

There is a paucity of knowledge on the use of Islamic holy references in English on learners’ Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition (IVA). This study aimed to investigate English students’ perceptions regarding the use of English translations of Islamic verses related to nature on students’ IVA. The study involved 77 senior high school students, consisting of 48 females and 29 males, from three schools in Surabaya and Pemalang, Indonesia. A case study design was employed, incorporating quantitative and qualitative data. Closed and open-ended questionnaires were the instruments, and the data were analyzed through descriptive methods and content analysis. The integrated findings showed that students viewed the potential effectiveness of English verses from the Qur’an and Sunnah in developing their understanding of IVA, Islam, and nature. Moreover, they expressed satisfaction with this approach to learning. In conclusion, students perceive that English verses from Islamic references offer significant benefits for their IVA.
