Abstract

Early language development is crucial for children’s cognitive and social growth. This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental linguistic stimulation, emotional support, and children’s speaking ability. The research involved 30 preschool and kindergarten children at KB-TK Amanah Qurani in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected using questionnaires completed by teachers and parents. Due to non-normal distribution in two variables, Spearman Rank Correlation was used for analysis. Results show significant positive correlations among all variables. Parental linguistic stimulation and emotional support are strongly correlated (? = 0.735, p < 0.001). Children’s speaking ability has a moderate positive correlation with linguistic stimulation (? = 0.573, p = 0.001) and a strong positive correlation with emotional support (? = 0.640, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that higher parental involvement in language and emotional development is associated with better speaking skills in early childhood. This study emphasizes the vital role of both cognitive and emotional support in language acquisition and recommends greater focus on parent-child interaction in early education programs.

Abstract

Writing remains one of the most demanding productive skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. To address this challenge, Project-Based Learning (PBL), a student-centered instructional approach, has gained attention for its potential to enhance student engagement and writing performance. This qualitative case study explored: (1) the instructional steps used in implementing PBL in writing lessons, (2) the assessment methods employed, (3) the perceived benefits of PBL on students’ writing skills, and (4) the challenges faced during implementation. Data were collected from classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document review and were then analyzed qualitatively. The findings revealed that the implementation of PBL followed five key stages: preparation, planning, research, presentation, and evaluation. Writing performance was assessed formatively using an analytical rubric. PBL was found to foster students’ writing development, increase their motivation and engagement, and build confidence. However, implementation challenges such as group management, unequal participation, and time constraints were also reported. These findings suggest that PBL can be a valuable pedagogical tool in EFL writing classrooms, promoting active learning and collaboration. Nonetheless, its success depends on careful instructional planning and strategies for overcoming implementation barriers.

Abstract

Vocabulary is a crucial component of learning English. Among the various methods employed by teachers, using flashcards is one of the most commonly practiced approaches. But how effective is it? This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using flashcards in teaching vocabulary to Vietnamese young learners and to examine potential differences in learning outcomes between male and female students. The research was conducted at a language center in Binh Duong, involving 30 first-grade students aged 5 to 6, all of whom were beginner-level English learners. An experimental research design was implemented, with participants divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group, each comprising 15 students. The experimental group was taught English vocabulary using flashcards, while the control group received instruction through traditional teaching methods without additional teaching aids. Data were collected through three assessments: a pre-test, a midterm test, and a post-test. The results demonstrated that flashcards are an effective tool for teaching English vocabulary to first-grade students. Additionally, the post-test revealed a significant difference in vocabulary acquisition between male and female students, with females outperforming their male counterparts when learning with flashcards. In conclusion, this study highlights the effectiveness of incorporating flashcards into vocabulary teaching and recommends their integration to improve learning outcomes. It also suggests tailoring teaching strategies to optimize vocabulary acquisition for both genders.

Abstract

This study explored the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in English teaching at SMP Sahabat Alam Palangka Raya, focusing on how concept character was integrated, the challenges faced by teachers, and the strategies used to overcome them. The curriculum emphasized student-centered learning, differentiated instruction, and contextual integration. Teachers used methods such as project-based learning, essential material focus, and flexible classroom practices to meet students’ diverse needs. However, the implementation process presented several challenges. These included varied student proficiency levels, limited access to teaching materials, difficulty integrating local content, lack of professional development, time constraints, and low student motivation. To investigate this process, a qualitative case study design was employed, involving classroom observations, in-depth interviews with English teachers, and analysis of teaching documents and student work samples. Findings revealed that teachers adopted various pedagogical approaches aligned with the curriculum, including project-based learning, flexible classroom practices, and an emphasis on essential material tailored to students’ diverse needs. However, several implementation challenges emerged, such as varying student proficiency levels, limited access to appropriate teaching materials, difficulty in integrating local cultural content, insufficient professional development opportunities, time constraints, and low student motivation.

Abstract

Lecturers in vocational education institutions exhibit unique characteristics in delivering instruction and supporting student learning, particularly in practical classes that emphasize real-world experiences and industry-related skills. This study explores students’ perceptions of lecturers' attitudes and their influence on student engagement in the Forestry Department of the State Agricultural Polytechnic of Kupang. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eight students and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that key aspects of lecturers' attitudes influencing student engagement include enthusiasm in teaching, fairness in treatment, and supportive responses to students’ questions and mistakes. While no distinctive attitudes specific to vocational lecturers were identified, the study found that students in East Nusa Tenggara possess unique cultural and linguistic traits, which shape their perceptions of lecturers' attitudes. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing the pedagogical competencies of vocational lecturers to create a participatory, equitable, and contextually relevant learning environment, particularly in regions with diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to explore the implementation of the Write-around strategy to improve students' descriptive writing skills in an Indonesian EFL classroom. Conducted over two cycles involving 32 seventh-grade students at Junior High School 29 Bandung, the study examined how collaborative writing activities affect students' writing performance and engagement. Data were collected through observations, pre- and post-tests, questionnaires, and field notes. Findings indicated a significant improvement in students’ writing scores, with the average increasing from 59.6 to 75.9. Students demonstrated better control of grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics, as well as improved confidence and understanding of text structure. Questionnaire results revealed that most students found writing more enjoyable and less intimidating when working with peers. The Write-around strategy encouraged active participation, peer feedback, and the co-construction of ideas, aligning with previous research that highlights the benefits of cooperative learning. Despite minor challenges in idea sequencing during group writing, the strategy proved to be an effective method for supporting both cognitive and affective aspects of language learning. It is recommended that teachers adopt collaborative strategies like Write-around to foster a more interactive and supportive environment for developing writing skills in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study explores how pre-service teachers perceive the use of Kahoot! during their teaching internships, especially in English language classrooms. As digital tools become more common in education, Kahoot! stands out for making lessons more interactive and enjoyable. Through a survey of 180 education students, this research looks at how Kahoot! supports engagement, ease of use, and effectiveness in teaching. Most participants found it helpful in boosting student motivation and participation. They also saw it as simple to use and easy to apply in the classroom. Interestingly, factors like a student's semester and age influenced how effective they thought Kahoot! was, while their study program and how often they used it did not. Overall, the study shows that gamified tools like Kahoot! can enhance the teaching experience and suggests that teacher education programs should consider including them to make learning more dynamic and effective.
