Abstract

Indonesia will make English a compulsory subject in elementary schools from 2027, but many primary schools have had little provision for English before now. This study asks how ready elementary English teachers feel for the change and what problems they expect. As the qualitative strand of a larger mixed-methods project, it used semi-structured interviews of five teachers chosen from public and private schools in Lampung Province, analysed through thematic analysis. Four themes emerged: gaps in school resources, differences in teacher readiness and confidence, unequal access to professional development, and shared worries about assessment, parental support, and class size. Four English-trained teachers said they felt ready, most confidently in the private schools; the one teacher without English training did not, and hoped a qualified colleague could join her school. The findings indicate that, without targeted support for resources, training, and teacher qualification, compulsory English may widen the gap between schools rather than close it.

Abstract

The incorporation of digital technology into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education has been increasingly emphasised, but few studies have critically examined how teachers confront problems in sustaining technology-enhanced classroom practices in everyday teaching realities. This study explores the challenges faced by EFL teachers in integrating digital technology into English courses at secondary schools in Indonesia. The research was conducted qualitatively and exploratively with three English teachers from three distinct senior high schools in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Data was acquired through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations and document analysis. Data were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s reflexive thematic analysis. The findings reveal four interrelated themes: persistent infrastructural instability hinders technology-integrated teaching; teachers face pedagogical and emotional challenges in digital teaching; technology integration demands ongoing adaptation and improvisation; and institutional support is uneven and insufficient. The findings indicate that technology integration is not a smooth and linear process but a negotiated pedagogical practice affected by infrastructural restrictions, student involvement concerns, institutional constraints and teachers’ adaptive methods. The study foregrounds the significance of moving beyond the narratives of technology adoption to a more critical understanding of the lived realities of digital education in EFL environments. The report suggests improved infrastructural support, context-sensitive professional development and durable institutional policies to facilitate meaningful technology integration in ELT.

Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian EFL teachers' perceptions of cultural awareness in GenAI-assisted English language teaching and explores the opportunities and challenges they perceive when addressing cultural awareness through AI-generated instructional materials. A quantitative survey design was employed involving 60 Indonesian junior high school EFL teachers who had prior experience using Generative AI applications for instructional purposes. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. The findings indicate that teachers hold highly positive perceptions toward the importance of integrating cultural awareness into AI-assisted English language teaching. Participants emphasized that AI-generated cultural content should be critically evaluated before classroom implementation and that English instruction should integrate both Indonesian and global cultural perspectives. Teachers also perceived Generative AI as a valuable resource for creating culturally diverse instructional materials and enriching classroom learning. However, concerns were raised regarding cultural bias, inaccurate cultural information, limited representation of Indonesian local cultures, and students' overreliance on AI-generated content. The study concludes that the effective integration of GenAI into English language teaching depends not only on technological capability but also on teachers' intercultural competence, critical AI literacy, and pedagogical judgment.
