Abstract

Peer learning has been widely recognized as an effective strategy in inclusive education, promoting student collaboration, enhancing academic outcomes, and addressing diverse learning needs. However, a significant gap remains in understanding how peer learning is implemented across different institutional and national contexts, especially in inclusive settings. While prior studies have addressed peer learning in general, few have compared its practical application across countries with distinct educational systems. This study investigates how peer learning is enacted in inclusive classrooms in Thailand and Indonesia, focusing on teachers’ beliefs, instructional strategies, and challenges encountered during implementation. Employing a qualitative research design, data were gathered through interviews and classroom observations to explore authentic classroom practices. The findings reveal both shared patterns and contextual differences in the use of peer learning, shaped by each country’s institutional structures and education policies. While initial student collaboration varied, many learners demonstrated increased participation and interaction over time. This study addresses the lack of cross-national research on inclusive peer learning and offers insights that may support educators, researchers, and policymakers in designing more responsive and culturally informed frameworks for peer learning in diverse, inclusive classrooms.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of literature circles on English language skill development among non-English major university students, with attention to gender-based differences in outcomes. Sixty students were purposively selected and evenly divided into experimental and control groups, with balanced gender representation. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. The experimental group participated in literature circles, while the control group received conventional instruction. Quantitative analysis revealed significant improvements in speaking fluency (x̄ = 85), vocabulary acquisition (x̄ = 82), and reading comprehension (x̄ = 87) among students in the experimental group. Qualitative findings showed that female students tended to be more active and reported higher levels of enjoyment, while male students demonstrated increased engagement when assigned specific discussion roles. The collaborative structure of literature circles fostered critical thinking, peer interaction, and learner autonomy. These findings suggest that literature circles are an effective, learner-centered, and gender-responsive method for enhancing communicative competence in EFL classrooms. Structured facilitation and role-based accountability can help equalize participation across genders, supporting more inclusive language learning environments.

Abstract

This study explores the representation of cultural contexts in the English for Change textbook, a key resource for senior high school students under Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum. The research investigates how target, source, and international cultures are portrayed, assessing their role in fostering intercultural communication skills. Using qualitative content analysis, supported by quantitative insights, the study applies frameworks to evaluate cultural content. The textbook achieves a numerical balance on target culture (32%), source culture (36%), and international culture (32%). However, it lacks depth in cultural exploration. Target culture often centers on basic practices, source culture is fragmented, and international culture tends to focus on global challenges rather than meaningful intercultural exchanges. Themes such as environmental awareness, digital literacy, and financial management dominate, but opportunities for critical cultural dialogue are largely missed. These findings reveal that the textbook while promising, falls short of fully supporting students’ intercultural competence due to superficial coverage and underrepresentation of minority cultures. The study highlights the need for richer, more inclusive cultural narratives, such as case studies and reflective tasks, to encourage deeper understanding and critical thinking. By addressing these gaps, educators and curriculum developers can create materials that better align with the Merdeka Curriculum’s vision of contextual and meaningful learning. Furthermore, this study contributes to English language education by emphasizing the role of cultural representation in fostering students' intercultural competence, which is essential for effective communication in global context.

Abstract

This research examines how English major students perceive the role of technology in their language learning. The study aims to investigate students’ opinions, the technological tools they commonly utilize, the benefits and challenges they perceive, and to provide recommendations for enhancing the integration of technology in English education. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive method, data were gathered through a structured questionnaire containing closed-ended using linkert scale and open-ended questions. The participants comprised students from the English Language Education program at STKIP Persada Khatulistiwa Sintang, specifically those enrolled from semesters 2 to 8 who have experience using technology for learning English. The findings reveal that students regularly use a variety of digital tools, such as mobile applications, to aid their English learning. Participants express favorable views on technology, emphasizing its role in improving vocabulary, grammar, writing, and listening skills. Moreover, technology is perceived as a motivator that enhances engagement, boosts self-confidence, and promotes autonomy in the learning experience. Nevertheless, obstacles persist, such as technical issues, digital distractions, and insufficient structured guidance from educators. The study emphasizes the necessity of institutional support, which includes technical assistance, teacher training, and efficient strategies to reduce distractions. It advocates for a blended learning approach that integrates technology with conventional face-to-face methods to foster a more adaptable and effective educational environment.

Abstract

The implementation of English language instruction in elementary schools under the K-13 curriculum has become widespread, yet there is limited understanding of how teachers interpret and apply the curriculum in their classrooms. This study aims to explore elementary school English teachers' interpretations of the K-13 curriculum and their pedagogical strategies. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations and structured interviews with three English teachers at the elementary level. The data were analyzed thematically, revealing key patterns in teaching strategies and challenges. Teachers reported using interactive methods, such as group discussions, student-centered activities, and technology integration, to engage students effectively. However, they faced significant challenges, including inadequate teaching resources, large class sizes, and limited time, all of which hindered the full implementation of the curriculum. These findings underscore the need for targeted professional development programs and improved resource allocation to address these challenges. The study provides actionable insights for policymakers and educators aiming to optimize English language teaching within the K-13 framework, emphasizing the importance of supporting teachers in overcoming obstacles to effective curriculum delivery.

Abstract

The present study examined whether the Kahoot application influenced the grammar proficiency of eleventh-grade students at SMA Wachid Hasyim 2 Taman. Contextual grammar is crucial in the writing learning process; however, students frequently struggle with writing tasks, largely due to insufficient grammar knowledge. This paper employed a quantitative methodology with a true experimental design. Pre-test and post-test were utilized to evaluate the data. The sample comprised 280 eleventh-grade students from SMA Wachid Hasyim 2 Taman. Cluster random sampling was employed to generate the experimental and control groups. The researcher designated XI-F1 as the experimental group, the Kahoot application was used to provide instruction, while XI-F2 served as the control group, taught using traditional paper-based methods. The data analysis was conducted using an independent sample t-test in SPSS 19. A subjective test was also conducted to measure the students’ grammar skills in the form of creating an analytical exposition text. The findings indicated that the significance (2-tailed) of 0.000 is less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05), leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Therefore, it can be concluded that the Kahoot application has a positive and significant influence on eleventh-grade students’ grammar proficiency at SMA Wachid Hasyim 2 Taman. The integration of Kahoot as an interactive and gamified learning tool has the potential to serve as an effective strategy to improve students’ grammar mastery.

Abstract

Technology integration has become an important aspect of English language teaching, especially in private Islamic schools. Although novice teachers are familiar with technology, there is a gap between the potential of technology and its integration in achieving learning objectives and little intensity of previous studies discussing challenges faced by novice teachers’ technology integration in English language teaching in an Islamic private secondary school. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and identify challenges of technology integration by a novice teacher in grade 11 at an Islamic private secondary school in North Bali. It was a case study designed under a qualitative approach, combining semi-structured observations using the Triple-E framework rubric and structured interviews with a single novice teacher. The Triple-E framework showed a score of out 9 of 18 which means technology integration has a moderate level of effectiveness, showing a partial connection between learning objectives and technological tools. The semi-structured interview results exposed several challenges, including technological limitations, workload, school policies regarding mobile phone use, and low student participation. This study highlights the need for institutional support, strategic training, and more flexible policies to maximize the potential of technology in English language teaching. This study is expected to provide new insights into the effectiveness and challenges faced by novice teachers in integrating technology for English language teaching in an Islamic private school context.

Abstract

As the urgency of addressing climate change and promoting environmental sustainability continues to rise, educational institutions play a crucial role in equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for responsible citizenship. Recognizing the need for innovative teaching strategies in this area, this study investigates the integration of trade books into secondary school English lessons to enhance students' understanding of these pressing global issues. This study employed a design-based research (DBR) approach to develop and implement a project-based climate change education program integrated into English Language Teaching (ELT) for junior high school students. Conducted at the Public Junior High School Lalan, a remote area in South Sumatra, the study aimed to enhance students' climate literacy by exploring their existing knowledge, addressing climate change topics in the classroom, and identifying challenges in the implementation process. A total of 52 ninth-grade students, selected through purposive sampling, participated in the study. Data were collected through surveys and in-depth interviews conducted before and after the intervention. The interviews explored students’ experiences, perspectives, and changes in understanding related to climate change. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the interview transcripts, revealing shifts in students’ awareness and knowledge. The findings indicate that integrating climate change education into ELT through a project-based approach can effectively support students’ climate literacy and contribute to a more sustainable mindset among learners.
