this research examines the students' first-hand experience with multicultural cross-cultural engagement at Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL). This dissertation examines the value of such multicultural educative experiences for the students in relation to their English language skills acquisition. English language and culture learners achieve Communication Competence. This study adopted the qualitative case study approach, classroom adjacencies, and in-depth, one-on-one interviews with students and teachers for data collection. The study purposely sampled six students and cross multicultural engagement, intra, and extra school activities. Authentic experiences and reflections were the objectives of the study, and data was collected over one month. It has been shown that students who routinely partake in cross-cultural interaction have better English vocabulary, speaking fluency and overall confidence when using English in everyday scenarios. The participation of teachers was central in enriching these experiences by incorporating cultural elements of the lessons as well as promoting cooperative learning of students with different cultural backgrounds. The research provides evidence on the relevance of multicultural interfacing and its relation to cross cultural interaction in enhancing learners’ language proficiency.

This study conducts quantitative bibliometric evaluation to evaluate the advancements and thematic distributions of the research relating to blended learning in English education. This project intends to perform a bibliometric analysis of 2024. Publications indexed in Scopus on blended learning in English education to identify the patterns, trends, and topics of this contemporary research. By collecting and analyzing ten Scopus-indexed articles published in 2024 using tools such as VOSviewer and Publish or Perish, the research maps key patterns in scholarly output, including citation frequency, methodological tendencies, and keyword co-occurrence. The bibliometric data reveal a growing scholarly interest in integrating technology with pedagogical practices to improve English language learning outcomes. Among the ten analyzed articles, diverse methodological approaches were found, including experimental research, bibliometric reviews, case studies, and mixed-methods designs. A broader search indicated a total of 170 related publications within a single year, reflecting the rapid expansion of the field. Keyword network visualization categorized the research landscape into three dominant clusters: practical applications in higher education, foundational research design, and digital learning perceptions. The results show that blended learning's adaptability and the ability to meet various learner needs have enabled it to become a transformative tool in English education. These findings also offer a better grasp of the complexities of research, facilitating future work and the design of policies for teaching and learning in the digital era.

In the contemporary digital era, social media constitutes a significant and pervasive element of students' daily experiences, especially within the domain of foreign language acquisition. This qualitative narrative inquiry sought to comprehensively explore the nuanced effects of various social media applications on the writing abilities of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students enrolled at Universitas Islam Negeri Antasari, Banjarmasin. This study focused on three English education students who were chosen because they actively use social media and are learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Researchers gathered information through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and narrative frameworks to understand their personal experiences. The data were analyzed using narrative analysis to find common themes and important insights. The results show that popular social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter help students improve their writing. Students gained more vocabulary, felt more confident expressing themselves in English, and saw real examples of English in different situations. Still, the study found some downsides, including students using more informal language, having fewer opportunities for face-to-face interaction, and spending too much time on their phones. The study concludes with teaching suggestions that offer ways to make the most of social media’s benefits while reducing its negative effects in EFL writing classes.

The pronunciation of the English phonemes /ʃ/, /ð/ and /θ/ remains challenging for EFL learners in Indonesia due to the absence of these sounds in the Indonesian Phonological system. A preliminary study conducted with eleventh-grade students at SMK Al-Mu’ien revealed that the average pronunciation score was only 46.97, which was far below the minimum criterian of succes (70). This classroom action research aimed to determine how to improve students’ pronunciation by applying the Reading Aloud technique to XI grade students at SMK Al-Mu’ien in Jember. Data were collected through a pronunciation test to measure students' accuracy in pronouncing 51 targeted phonemes. Classroom observations were done to document the application of the Reading Aloud technique during each cycle. The data were then analyzed quantitatively to evaluate the improvements the students have made in their pronunciation and to capture how the learning process has taken place. The finding continuous improvement from the preliminary study (46.97) to Cycle 1 (53.58) and Cycle 2 (66.36), with 63.63% of students achieving the success criteria. The result suggest that the use of Reading Aloud, supported by teacher modeling, corrective feedback, and repetitive practice can significantly enhance students’ pronunciation. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on pronunciation teaching and highlights the pedagogical value of Reading Aloud for EFL learners.
