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.

Abstract

The context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, teacher’s talk is crucial to control classroom interactions and enhance language learning. This qualitative case study investigated how seventh-grade female students were motivated to learn English as a result of their teacher’s talk. The study used the Flanders Interaction Analysis Category System (FIACS) to classify teacher’s talk through classroom observations and interviews. The results revealed that giving instructions, asking questions, and expressing encouragement or praise were the most common ways teachers communicated. Students’ motivation and engagement were greatly enhanced by these verbal techniques. On the other hand, engagement was often hampered by the lack of student-centered discourse, such as accepting students’ opinions or using harsh criticism. A key novelty of this study is the exploration of gender dynamics, specifically how a male teacher communicates with an all-female class in an Islamic educational setting, a context rarely examined in prior research. The study highlights the importance of teacher communication strategies in fostering a supportive and motivating EFL classroom environment.

Abstract

Understanding the reasons behind Speech Difficulties and Language Interference is a very urgent matter to address amidst the ease of access to learning English. This study investigates the challenges faced by Indonesian university students majoring in English Education in speaking English fluently. Despite having completed more than six semesters, many still mix Indonesian and English during conversations and show reluctance to use English with peers. Through semi-structured interviews with ten students preparing for teaching internships, this research explores motivational, linguistic, and sociocultural factors contributing to their speaking difficulties. The findings reveal a lack of speaking confidence, limited exposure to English input, and negative perceptions about accent and dialect as primary obstacles. Moreover, external factors such as minimal digital access in rural areas and parental pressure to enrol in the English program significantly reduce students' motivation. This study calls for a re-evaluation of English language pedagogy in teacher training programs by integrating motivational and sociolinguistic awareness.

Abstract

This study investigates the development of an interactive e-module based on South Kalimantan folktales to enhance English language learning while internationalizing and preserving the local values of the Banjar tribe. Grounded in Hutchinson and Waters’ (1987) framework of needs analysis, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to high school students (n = 159). The analysis explored five dimensions: (1) the need for digital materials; (2) interest in folklore-based learning; (3) understanding of local wisdom; (4) the relevance of folktales to ELT; and (5) expectations for e-module design. Findings reveal that students strongly support the integration of folktales into digital materials, valuing interactive multimedia features, bilingual formats, and cultural reflections. The study highlights the potential of folklore-based digital resources not only to foster English proficiency but also to strengthen cultural identity and internationalize indigenous heritage. The implications suggest that digital pedagogy can serve as a bridge between global education and local wisdom, positioning cultural-based e-learning as a contemporary response to both educational and intercultural challenges.
