Abstract

The aim of this research is to assess how effectively the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program prepares accounting students for job opportunities. The goal of the ESP program is to provide students with the English language proficiency required in the profession, particularly in the accounting industry, which frequently deals with foreign reporting and global standards. Students, lecturers, and graduates of the accounting study program were surveyed and interviewed as part of this mixed-methods study. The findings demonstrate that the ESP program improves the students' understanding of English-language accounting terminology and their abilities for professional communication in a global environment. However, the survey also found a number of obstacles, including lecturers' lack of training and time limits. These results suggest that the ESP curriculum should be updated to emphasize speaking communication skills and practical aspects, and that lecturers' training be improved in order to fulfil the needs of industry.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) in a sixth-grade classroom at a public primary school in Singaraja. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with teachers and students. The findings reveal that SRL strategies, including goal setting, self-monitoring, and self-reflection, empower students to become active participants in their education. Teachers played a vital role in fostering these practices through scaffolding and guidance, while group activities promoted collaboration and critical thinking. Independent material selection was observed to enhance engagement, critical thinking, and digital literacy, aligning with modern educational frameworks like Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar initiative. However, challenges such as varying levels of student readiness, limited research skills, and insufficient familiarity with digital tools were noted, highlighting the need for structured teacher support. The study emphasizes the importance of balancing independence and guidance to maximize SRL’s benefits, preparing students for lifelong learning and adaptability in dynamic educational contexts.
