Abstract

Since the inception of vocational secondary schools in Indonesia, the English curriculum for such schools has been considered general English rather than vocational English, which serves as the medium of English learning for the students’ future work. This issue becomes a challenge for English teachers to design their courses to align with what has been mandated in the national curriculum and, simultaneously, the students’ needs according to their major of study. To address this issue, this paper examines vocational English curriculum designs from the literature. It uses their insights to develop an English curriculum design for specific topics in a vocational secondary school context. Vocational English curriculum designs from two countries (i.e., Taiwan and Poland) and five ESP course development models from prominent academic studies were analyzed. The analysis concerns the four key aspects of ESP (i.e., needs analysis, learning objectives, materials and methods, and evaluation). This paper makes explicit the curriculum development processes in ESP courses and proposes a course design model for a specific topic in graphic design.

Abstract

English for Medical Purposes (EMP) focuses on teaching domain-specific vocabulary in clinical settings, including psychiatry. However, psychiatric terminology poses particular challenges for novice nursing students due to linguistic complexity and mental health stigma. To address these issues, this study incorporated the English-subtitled K-Drama “Daily Dose of Sunshine” as an edutainment tool to support vocabulary acquisition and foster more constructive perceptions of psychiatric content. A retrospective descriptive design was employed to analyse existing data from researcher’s previous EMP instructional period at a health-focused higher education institution. This approach aimed to evaluate the pedagogical impact of audiovisual integration in psychiatric English instruction and to generate evidence-based insights for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) practice in researcher’s current vocational context. Data were collected through proportionate stratified sampling of 30 nursing students. The study utilized Likert-scale questionnaire to investigate students’ perceptions of using audiovisual media, Vocabulary Recognition Task (VRT) to measure psychiatric English vocabulary acquisition, and documentation to explore potential patterns between the two datasets. The findings indicated notable vocabulary gains, particularly among students with lower initial proficiency, and improved contextual understanding. These outcomes underscore the potential of edutainment in facilitating domain-specific language learning and reducing stigma. Furthermore, it offers valuable implications for the advancement of ESP instruction in specialized educational contexts.

Abstract

This study seeks to investigate the needs and problems of tourism workers and students of English Education Department in using English for Tourism in Penyengat Island as a heritage trail. In this study, 13 respondents comprising university students, tourist guides and merchandise vendors were asked about their needs and problems with using the English for tourism. To collect the data, we distributed questionnaires related to the two indicators in need analysis; needs and interviews to collect the problems faced by tourism players. Then, the data were analyzed based on its medium and standard deviation. The results showed that most of the participants value speaking as the utmost important skill in tourism. Another skill viewed critical is listening. While reading, and writing were deemed as an additional skill that might boost their competitive values. The three most important purposes of the English language were to provide information, services, and assistance. Inappropriate words and idioms, a limited vocabulary, and a lack of grammar expertise were among the issues with English use.

Abstract

This study explores the emotional experiences of a successful Indonesian in-service EFL teacher participating in an online teacher professional development (OTPD) program amid the dual crises of the COVID-19 pandemic and Cyclone Seroja. While prior research has explored teacher emotions during emergency remote teaching, little is known about how teachers negotiate emotional resilience under simultaneous global and local disasters. Using narrative inquiry and Hargreaves’s emotional geography framework, data were collected through virtual interviews and messaging, and then analyzed thematically. The findings highlight five emotional dimensions—physical, moral, sociocultural, professional, and political—that shaped the teacher’s journey. Despite life-threatening challenges, the participant demonstrated emotional resilience through intrinsic motivation, strong social support, and deep religious faith. These coping strategies enabled him to continue his professional development against tremendous odds. This study emphasizes the significance of acknowledging emotional geographies in OTPD, particularly in disaster-prone regions. It offers practical implications for educational institutions and policymakers to enhance teacher well-being by fostering empathy, flexibility, and support systems in professional learning programs.

Abstract

This study consistently employs a qualitative narrative-psycholinguistic design to analyze the cognitive and emotional dynamics in the construction of millennial identity within digital narratives on X, Instagram, and TikTok. The analysis integrates thematic analysis, operationalized psycholinguistic coding based on Plutchik’s theory of emotions and Gee’s framework of identity representation, as well as a critical interpretive approach by Fairclough to situate the findings within the digital socio-cultural context. Data were collected through purposive sampling of at least 10 public narratives from each platform over a two-week period, using explicit criteria based on emotional intensity (marked by words, emojis, punctuation), and explicit/implicit identity representation. The findings indicate that X is dominated by collective reflection and resistance to stigma; Instagram foregrounds self-validation and authenticity; while TikTok displays humor-resilience as a coping strategy against socio-economic pressures. The analysis also reveals the prevalence of cognitive reflection patterns, emotional expression, and cross-platform identity synthesis, which aligns with recent studies on digital literacy and the psychological well-being of the millennial generation. The study’s contribution is to clarify the interrelationship between language, cognition, and emotion in shaping the digital identity of Indonesian millennials, as well as to underscore the importance of operational clarity and cross-platform synthesis in digital psycholinguistic research. The study recommends expanding research into cross-cultural contexts and over a longer duration to capture the dynamics of digital identity more comprehensively.

Abstract

The integration of technology into education has reshaped pronunciation instruction, introducing innovative tools like Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) and speech recognition systems. This study aims to systematically review the trends and tools used in technology-assisted pronunciation learning and evaluate their effectiveness. Employing the PRISMA protocol, 27 peer-reviewed studies published between 2006 and 2024 were analyzed through a systematic review method. The findings reveal a significant rise in the use of Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT), mobile applications, and speech analysis software such as Praat, Audacity, and ASR-based systems. These tools offer interactive features, immediate feedback, and personalized learning, contributing to improved phonetic accuracy across segmental and suprasegmental aspects. The majority of studies focused on learners in higher education, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. While results demonstrate the positive impact of technology on pronunciation proficiency, limitations remain in long-term impact evidence and contextual adaptation, particularly in under-resourced settings. This study underscores the potential of digital tools to complement traditional methods and recommends future research to address sustainability, accessibility, and pedagogical integration.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ attitudes and perceptions toward learning English at SMP Islam Al-Falah Kota Jambi. Attitude plays a crucial role in language acquisition, influencing students' engagement, motivation, and overall learning outcomes. The study examines three key aspects of students’ attitudes: behavioral, cognitive, and affective. Using a qualitative research approach with Yin’s case study method, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with second-grade students. Findings reveal that students generally hold a positive cognitive attitude toward learning English, recognizing its importance for future careers and global communication. Behaviorally, students demonstrate responsibility in completing tasks but show varying levels of motivation for independent learning. The affective aspect highlights enthusiasm for English learning but also identifies challenges related to speaking confidence and anxiety. The study suggests that fostering a supportive learning environment, integrating interactive methods, and encouraging speaking practice can enhance students’ attitudes and learning outcomes. This study elucidates the subtle aspects related to students' attitudes, so enhancing English language education through the provision of contextually pertinent teaching methodologies and fostering the advancement of more effective learner-centered strategies. Future research should explore motivational factors, teaching strategies, and the impact of digital resources on language learning.

Abstract

Social awareness and relationship skills, integral components of the social-emotional learning (SEL) framework, serve as fundamental objectives in holistic education. However, Indonesia’s SEL concept remains relatively new, particularly in higher education settings. This study examined how learning techniques such as jigsaw enabled the cultivation of social awareness and relationship skills depicted in the SEL framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative research method, this study explored students’ interactions in the jigsaw technique among 19 first-semester Master’s students in the English Education Master Program at Sanata Dharma University. The data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations, which offered a comprehensive understanding of students’ interactions through the jigsaw technique. The findings revealed the potential of jigsaw as a collaborative technique to promote social awareness and relationship skills among higher-education students by exposing students to diverse perspectives and building relationship skills through active communication and collaboration. However, several challenges, such as cultural and emotional barriers and a sense of dominance, inferiority, and trust, emerged in the group interactions that need to be addressed. This study is expected to contribute valuable insights at the higher level of education in Indonesia by applying various learning techniques, one of which is the jigsaw technique, as an effort to implement SEL and improve SEL competencies. The findings provide practical implications for educators and policymakers trying to promote a balance of emotional and social growth alongside students’ academic learning, especially concerning collaborative skills needed in today’s world.

Abstract

Classroom presentation is an essential aspect of EFL students' speaking skills, as it involves actively conveying and expressing ideas in front of an audience. However, this activity often causes anxiety that can hinder students' performance. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the various factors that might contribute to the anxiety experienced by EFL students during classroom presentations, as well as identify coping strategies that can help them address their anxiety and enhance their speaking skills. In this study, mixed methods were used by combining quantitative and qualitative approaches to obtain a more in-depth understanding of students' anxiety and the efforts that can be carried out to reduce its impact on speaking performance. The results showed that most students experienced medium level of learning anxiety, while their speaking ability was quite good. However, the relationship between anxiety and presentation skills in English did not show a strong enough correlation. Qualitatively, anxiety affects cognitive impairment, fluency and cohesiveness in speaking, as well as students' confidence level. In addition, the results of this study also highlighted some effective strategies that can be implemented to effectively manage anxiety, such as applying breathing techniques, practicing regularly, and speaking at a slow tempo. Therefore, students are advised to make a more thorough preparation before making an English presentation in class to increase their confidence and speaking fluency.

Abstract

English language learning plays an important role in developing EFL students' competencies in the era of globalization, yet low student engagement remains a major challenge due to monotonous learning methods. This study aims to investigate how Game-Based Learning (GBL) enhances students' engagement as well as explore their experiences during the learning process. Using thematic analysis, the findings show that GBL encourages behavioural engagement through active participation, collaboration, and adherence to game rules; emotional engagement through fun, enthusiasm in group learning, and excitement during competition; and cognitive engagement through increased curiosity, use of strategies, and reflection on self-development. The implications of this study suggest that teachers need to integrate game elements that support peer teaching, emotional safety and strategic thinking - such as time-based group games or language puzzles - tailored to students' ability levels to create more inclusive, fun and meaningful learning.
