Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the relevance of the English teaching materials in the textbook “My Next Words (For Elementary School 5)” concerning the values of religious moderation as adopted in primary schools. The textbook has received endorsement from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, highlighting the importance of evaluating its alignment with the government's religious moderation standards. The research methodology employed content analysis of the textbook to identify content related to religious moderation values. Surveys and interviews with elementary school teachers using this textbook provided insights into its utilization and its reflection of religious moderation values in teaching practices. The results indicated that the textbook primarily focuses on language skills, with limited integration of religious moderation values. It lacks sensitive language usage and activities promoting interfaith understanding. However, it does feature diverse character names associated with specific religious groups and incorporates some aspects of cultural diversity. Educators expressed the importance of integrating religious moderation values into English language teaching materials, but they found the current materials lacking in this regard. In conclusion, the textbook “My Next Words: For Elementary School” for Grade V requires improvements to better integrate religious moderation values. These enhancements will contribute to a more inclusive and relevant English language learning experience for elementary school students, fostering tolerance and interfaith harmony.

The Sevima Edlink application can be an alternative solution in blended learning because it is already integrated with the Siakad system on campus and can be accessed easily from a laptop and smartphone. This research aimed to describe the students' perspective on using Sevima Edlink as an English learning medium.

Even though there were obstacles, including internet connection and weak signal, lack of information on using Sevima Edlink for new students, and task notifications were often late or did not appear, which caused students to be late in submitting assignments.

Abstract

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is increasingly favored for its flexibility. This study analyzes interaction patterns in an L2 English training conducted entirely using WhatsApp group chat and examines the teacher’s perspective. Discourse analysis revealed a flexible Initiation-Response-Feedback (IRF) pattern, with students occasionally initiating turns. Emoticons and voice notes fostered emotional connections and mitigated direct feedback. The teacher found WhatsApp valuable for practicing all language skills, stressing the need for small group sizes. The study also noted discrepancies in adjacency pairs, which could be addressed using the direct reply feature to enhance conversational coherence and pedagogical effectiveness. Additionally, the study suggests combining the WhatsApp group chat with offline classes to increase students’ sense of responsibility and participation in the discussion.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the difficulties and obstacles that instructors encounter when designing ESP English course for tourism students. Communication with foreigners was deemed by the majority of Lombok's stakeholders to be the most formidable challenge to the local community. Students have to be able to speak and write English because of how quickly knowledge and information spreads in this globalized world. To accommodate the requirements of students, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is structured. In this study, the ESP lecturers at STP Mataram are degrees in education and/or language; hence, it is doubtful that they have specific understanding of the subjects that the students are studying. It could be challenging for the lecturers at STP Mataram to manage and design course with relevant activities in the classroom, much less respond to questions about subjects, technical terms, and ideas that they don't fully understand. Not only do lecturers face difficulties in creating materials in realistic forms, but they also face difficulties in choosing texts or other resources based on their own degree of expertise in the subject. In teaching the class efficiently, ESP lecturers must also develop the syllabus, supply the necessary materials, work with subject/content specialists, carry out research, and assess the students and the course. A thorough need analysis will enable the course designer to create a unique, appropriate course for the students and consider the students' prior knowledge of how to use English language.
