Abstract

This study investigates the impact of technology-based teaching methods on students’ English-speaking skills in secondary schools in rural Indonesia. Using a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups for six weeks, the research involved 70 students from two secondary schools in Kefamenanu, East Nusa Tenggara. One group received instruction using traditional methods, while the other, the experimental group received instruction through digital tools—Flipgrid, Google Meet, and multimedia apps—while the control group followed traditional methods. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests focused on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and coherence; student questionnaires; and classroom observations. Findings reveal that students in the experimental group outperformed their peers, with a statistically significant gain of 13.5 points in speaking scores (p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 2.10), compared to 4.4 points in the control group. The findings reveal a significant improvement in the speaking abilities of students exposed to technology-based instruction compared to those taught through conventional means. Students in the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of confidence, engagement, and linguistic accuracy during speaking tasks. The study underscores the pedagogical value of incorporating digital tools to foster more interactive and learner-centered classroom environments. It further suggests that, when thoughtfully integrated, technology can effectively support the development of communicative competence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) setting. This research contributes to the growing discourse on educational technology in language learning and offers practical implications for English educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to improve speaking outcomes in secondary education.

Abstract

This narrative inquiry delves into how debate plays critical roles in developing an Indonesian EFL teacher’s English language proficiency. One female EFL teacher was purposefully recruited as the participant. Data were obtained through written reflections and semi-structured interviews. An inductive thematic analysis was then employed to analyze the data. The findings suggest that debate plays critical roles in promoting target language exposure, facilitating target language use, and becoming a conducive language learning environment, ultimately advancing English language proficiency. Debate is perceived to enhance vocabulary, rhetoric, and four main language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. In addition to developing language proficiency, debate promotes essential academic skills, including arguing, public speaking, and critical thinking. Despite its advantages, encountered challenges can still be overcome. These findings highlight the transformative potentials of debate as a pedagogical strategy, underscoring its capacity to enhance language and academic skills. However, due to its limited generalizability, future studies should employ potential research designs and recruit diverse participants across various settings.

Abstract

EFL teaching participants must learn the uncommon language, so that teachers or educators need to discover several problems in conveying the material. This research investigated syntactic labels in recognizing word formation in simple sentences such as subject, verb/predicate, object, and adverb.  In previous times, two researchers have investigated EFL students’ capability in identifying parts of speech (noun, adverb, and adjective) and the use of punctuation (comma, full stop, and exclamation mark). Current research aims to fill this gap. This study probes EFL students' propensity to determine syntactic parts of word formation in simple sentences within argumentative texts. This research is applying questionnaires distributed to 51 learning participants. The findings explain that 75% of pupils precisely labeled subjects, verbs, objects, and adverbs. However, challenges remain in differentiating between subjects and objects, as only 25% achieved perfect accuracy. The study concludes that while a larger number of students signified a detailed understanding of syntactic labeling, planned and further interventions are necessary to address continuing obstacles. Hoping that this study could be significant in uncovering the latest techniques in EFL teaching and learning activities, such as the discovery of any media for conveying material on basic syntax for beginner students.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools play a vital role in Indonesia’s education system, particularly in shaping students’ religious and academic development. Within these institutions, implementing collaborative learning presents unique challenges due to their emphasis on discipline, religious values, and limited technological access. This study aims to explore Islamic boarding school teachers’ perspectives on the challenges of applying social constructivist approaches in collaborative learning within TEFL classrooms, as well as the strategies used to overcome these obstacles. Using a qualitative design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five teachers and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that while collaborative learning can enhance students’ motivation, critical thinking, and language skills, it requires careful planning and ongoing professional development to be effective in this context. Challenges identified include curriculum constraints, school culture, inadequate facilities, diverse student cognitive abilities, varying motivation levels, and emotional regulation. The study underscores the importance of strategic lesson planning, effective group composition, and teacher training in addressing these issues and improving collaborative learning in Islamic boarding school settings.

Abstract

English has been widely known as a global lingua franca. By mastering English, it enables students to build good communication on a global scale and assists them to express their interests in many sectors such as economy, politics, culture, and education (Pennycook, 2025). These interests definitely influence students’ motivation in studying English. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the discourse of students’ self-learning motivation in English by exploring both motivational factors, i.e., intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In doing this scientific work, the researchers applied Cresswell's (2016) convergent parallel mixed-method design that variedly provided both qualitative and quantitative data. With these various data, it helped the readers to comprehend the research explanation. The results demonstrated that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors have contributive aspects in maintaining students’ motivation in English learning. For instance, for the intrinsic factors, 60% of students are motivated to study English to gain a job, while self-confidence development and the pursuit of gaining a good academic score are equally 20%. In addition, the extrinsic factors consist of several conditions, i.e., educational (i.e., provided material with 13.3% voters and technological devices (TD) as learning facilities with 73.3% voters) and social (family support with 13.3% voters) conditions. Although intrinsic factors (66.7%) exert a more significant influence than extrinsic factors (33.3%), it is undeniable that both substantially impact students' self-learning motivation in English. Therefore, by investigating both of these factors, the researchers expected that it would help the educators to design the effective teaching curriculum in the English course.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Quizizz as a diagnostic assessment platform on the motivation and perceptions of third-grade students at SMPN 3 Tigaraksa in their English lessons. A quantitative research design was employed, using a questionnaire distributed to 35 students, with results analyzed through descriptive statistics. The ages of the samples in this research are between 14 and 15 years old. The questionnaire utilized a four-point Likert Scale based on their agreement and disagreement. This questionnaire was distributed through Google Forms. The study’s findings revealed that using Quizizz increased students' intrinsic motivation and positive perceptions of learning English. The students found learning English to be more enjoyable and engaging. The competitive and engaging use of Quizizz resulted in greater interest and confidence in English language learning. Related to the limitation of this research is that it focuses solely on Indonesian ESL students, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings to learners in other cultural or linguistic contexts. This study offers insightful information for teachers to use technology-integrated learning methods, such as Quizizz, as a diagnostic assessment platform. It can motivate and help teachers design more effective teaching strategies according to ESL students' needs in learning English.

Abstract

The potential of deep learning in the context of English teaching is essential so as to increase student engagement and learning outcomes through some innovative learning models. However, few studies address the effect of deep learning in English classrooms from vocational high school students’ perspectives, mainly in Indonesian context. This study aims to disclose the students’ perceptions on the implementation of deep learning at vocational high schools, considering quantitative and qualitative data. The participants of this study are 191 students from four vocational high schools in Eastern Jakarta, Indonesia. The study employed a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative and qualitative data. The data were collected through an online questionnaire, comprising closed and open-ended questions. The data were then analyzed with descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results show that students have positive responses on their mindfulness, meaningfulness, and the enjoyment in English language teaching. Qualitatively, students found English very important for their career and considered the learning materials provided by English teachers relevant. Additionally, the students felt motivated to learn English for the enhancement of creative and critical thinking. This study recommends refining deep learning practices for effective and meaningful English learning environments.

Abstract

This study explores the use of speech-recognition technology to improve English pronunciation among eleventh-grade students at Miftahul Ulum Islamic Senior High School. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis revealed five key findings: (1) improved segmental pronunciation accuracy, (2) increased student motivation and engagement, (3) challenges with accent recognition, (4) limited support for fluency and natural speech, and (5) a need for more personalized feedback. While the technology effectively corrected individual pronunciation errors and boosted learners’ confidence, its limitations in recognizing regional accents and supporting sentence-level fluency suggest the need for a more integrated instructional approach. The study recommends using speech-recognition tools as supplementary aids, combined with communicative activities such as group discussions or role-play. These findings offer important insights into technology-enhanced language learning in the Indonesian EFL context and highlight the need for more adaptive, linguistically inclusive speech-recognition systems.

Abstract

The widespread adoption of English in Indonesia has raised concerns about its impact on local language sustainability, especially in multilingual, postcolonial regions such as East Nusa Tenggara. This study investigates how English learning can coexist with local language preservation by addressing three key issues: (1) students’ attitudes toward English and local languages, (2) the use of these languages across different domains, and (3) strategies proposed for promoting linguistic coexistence. Nineteen sixth-semester English Education students from Citra Bangsa University were selected as participants, given their future roles as language educators and policy influencers. Using a qualitative approach that included semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys, the study found a dual but sometimes conflicting orientation. The results show that participants acknowledged the instrumental value of English for education and career advancement (89%) while affirming the cultural importance of local languages (95%). In terms of usage, local languages remained dominant in-home domains (65%) but were marginalized in academic settings (5%) and peer interactions (21%), revealing a domain-specific pattern shaped by perceived language utility. To bridge this gap, participants suggested strategies such as bilingual education models (74%), community-driven language initiatives (63%), and culturally inclusive curricula. However, 47% expressed skepticism toward government-led solutions, citing lack of relevance and implementation barriers. The findings indicate that sustainable multilingualism is possible through intentional, context-sensitive strategies. The study recommends reorienting teacher education to support multilingual pedagogies, integrating local knowledge, and fostering collaboration between grassroots efforts and institutional frameworks to ensure balanced language ecologies.

Abstract

The return of English as a subject in elementary school demands help to minimize the students’ vocabulary gap. Therefore, this study aims at seeing the students’ and teachers’ needs on attractive English learning media which can help them enhance the vocabulary mastery. Developing an English pocketbook becomes a solution. Then, as a part of a developmental research, a need analysis study was initially conducted. Applying quantitative design, questionnaires and vocabulary tests were distributed to the respondents. Respondents for this needs’ analysis process were students and teachers at SD Negeri 1 Talang Kelapa. There were 23 respondents, consisting of 1 English teacher, 9 male students, and 13 female students. The questionnaires in Likert scale format were used to check the respondents’ perception, motivation, and anxiety toward English subject at their school. Then, vocabulary tests were given to see students’ vocabulary mastery, both in context and literal meaning. The obtained data from questionnaires and vocabulary tests were then analyzed by using descriptive analysis. Finally, it was found that the students and teachers need a pocketbook which is customized based on their needs. The pocketbook developed needs to address the students’ low achieved vocabulary topics and the students’ anxiety.
