Abstract

Teacher professional identity and agency play crucial roles in shaping educational practices, particularly in faith-based education, where values, beliefs, and institutional expectations intersect. This study employs the Delphi method to explore the perspectives of educators, administrators, and scholars on the formation and enactment of teacher identity and agency within faith-based educational settings. Through iterative rounds of expert input, key themes emerge, including the influence of religious doctrine on pedagogical decisions, the negotiation of personal and institutional values, and the role of community engagement in reinforcing professional identity. The findings highlight the dynamic, context-dependent nature of teacher agency, underscoring the need for supportive institutional structures that foster autonomy while maintaining alignment with faith-based principles. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how educators navigate their professional roles within religious educational contexts, offering insights for policy and teacher development programs.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed language learning practices, for instance, the use of DeepL translation tools for machine translation. It plays a growing role in facilitating comprehension, vocabulary development, and academic literacy among EFL learners. This study provides empirical evidence of how DeepL shapes students’ learning efficiency and translation strategies. This mixed-methods study explores the perceptions and challenges of 27 fourth-year English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) students at Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta regarding DeepL as a translation tool in their language learning. Employing questionnaires and semi-structured interviews for data collection, the research gathered both quantitative and qualitative data. The questionnaire explored students' overall perceptions, while interviews delved into the specific challenges encountered by six selected students, using a purposive sampling technique across varying proficiency levels: two students with high proficiency, two students with medium proficiency, and two students with low proficiency, as indicated by the analyzed questionnaire scores. Furthermore, the researchers analyzed the questionnaire results through data checking, coding categories, and compared them across the highest, middle, and lowest categories, analyzing the results descriptively. Meanwhile, for the semi-structured interview, the results were analyzed using an interactive model, comprising data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. Findings indicate positive student perceptions. Quantitative analysis of questionnaire data revealed overwhelmingly positive perceptions, with 81.5% and 66.7% of students showing high agreement on key positive statements about DeepL's utility. However, the qualitative data reveal that all interviewed students face challenges, particularly the time-consuming process of double-checking translations due to the uncertainty of meaning. This study highlights DeepL's significant role in facilitating language learning while also underscoring the need for students to develop critical evaluation skills.

Abstract

This study explores the role of first language (L1) pragmatic competence in second language (L2) conversational implicature comprehension among Indonesian EFL learners. Using a quantitative design with 103 university students, the research tested a model where L2 grammatical and lexical competence mediate the relationship between L1 and L2 implicature comprehension. The instruments used included a 30-item L2 implicature comprehension test, an L1 implicature comprehension test, a vocabulary knowledge test, a grammar knowledge test, and a self-report L2 exposure questionnaire. Results showed that L2 grammar proficiency was the strongest predictor of L2 implicature comprehension (r=.695). Mediation analysis confirmed a significant direct effect of L1 implicature comprehension on L2 comprehension, with an indirect effect of L2 grammar (p=.020). However, the mediating role of vocabulary was not significant. These findings suggest that L1 pragmatic knowledge is channeled through L2 grammatical proficiency to interpret implied meanings. The study underscores the significance of integrating grammar and pragmatics in instruction, recommending that educators link syntactic structures to their pragmatic functions to help learners leverage their L1 pragmatic intuition and improve L2 competence.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the implementation of English writing teaching within the curriculum framework of Merdeka Curriculum at Indonesian vocational high schools, focusing on understanding, classroom practice, and challenges faced by teachers in implementing project-based, student-centered principles. Adopting a concurrent, transformative mixed-methods design, data were obtained from thirteen English teachers in Malang, East Java, through qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys to reveal their perceptions and practices. The results indicate that a gap between the intended flexible curriculum, centered on differentiated instruction, student choice, and active engagement, and what is actually happening in classrooms has continued to persist. Instructors have a partial understanding of such pedagogical facts. However, the practice is suppressed by students' varying writing proficiency levels, scarce learning materials, inadequate professional training, and limited support from the school. Merdeka Curriculum: a source of hope. Nevertheless, as much as Merdeka Curriculum offers an inspiring vision of pedagogical transformation. Structurally, there are impediments to its effective realization in the world of vocational education. Continued systemic support and increased pedagogical alignment are necessary to achieve a more meaningful curricular change. Empowering teacher initiative, developing teacher collaboration, and providing continuous professional development are essential to improve writing instruction in trade or technical schools. The study provides policymakers, administrators, and curriculum developers with the knowledge to simplify support systems, enabling English teachers to implement Merdeka Curriculum in the writing classroom fully.

Abstract

Language teachers have been interested in reflecting on their teaching and learning practices to improve their professional skills. This study aims to locate, analyze, and synthesize the current state of research on reflective practice (RP) specifically related to English language teaching and learning. Using a set of rigorous criteria that encompassed the quality, content, and types of articles, the researcher selected and reviewed thirty-seven scholarly articles published in fifteen international journals between 2012 and 2022. Employing the holistic approach, the researcher examined the body of RP-related literature, including research goals, methods, contexts, participants, and RP practices. The analysis identified five main themes: collaborative reflection, teaching and learning experiences, reflection techniques, self-study, and written reflection analysis. Each theme was further sub-categorized into different research strands and discussed in light of the relevant literature. As a result, this study has detailed how various forms of RPs were implemented, along with their potential implementation challenges and weaknesses, which should be of interest to language teachers or practitioners who plan to operationalize RP in their pedagogical practices. Methodological implications, empirical voids in RP-related studies, and directions for further research are presented.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study examines how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students utilize artificial intelligence (AI) tools to source and integrate online information for academic report writing. The study involved 32 third-semester students who wrote reports on Cirebon wedding traditions, utilizing various online sources and self-selected AI tools, including ChatGPT, Quillbot, and Grammarly. Data were gathered through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with eight students. Thematic analysis revealed six key themes: the strategic use of multiple AI tools, source selection based on accessibility and relevance, AI-assisted simplification, the evolution of voice and authorship, ethical awareness, and learning transfer. Students displayed a reflective and critical approach, viewing AI not merely as a shortcut but as a dialogic partner in the writing process. The findings highlight how AI not only enhances textual production but also fosters intercultural understanding within EFL contexts. This study contributes to the discourse on digital literacy by providing a localized perspective on AI usage and calls for pedagogies that promote ethical and strategic authorship in AI-mediated academic writing.

Abstract

Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) has emerged as a valuable tool for enhancing writing and other creative activities. However, there has been limited exploration of postgraduate students' perspectives on utilizing ChatGPT within the realm of academic writing. To address this gap, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with two postgraduate students from different universities to gather their narratives and experiences regarding the integration of ChatGPT into their academic writing processes. The thematic analysis reveals that the students hold a favorable view of ChatGPT's utility in aiding their academic writing, particularly in generating ideas, creating outlines, and receiving prompt feedback on their work. Nevertheless, the findings raise concerns about the validity and reliability of the information generated, particularly regarding usage limitations. The study highlights the need for more professional development programs to enhance the digital literacy of postgraduate students by utilizing artificial intelligence. Additionally, the study's contributions are detailed, along with several recommendations for future research.
