The objective of this study is to analyze the preferences and experiences of students with regards to in-class oral presentations as opposed to online oral presentations in English class. The participants for this study were 61 students selected purposively, with a concentration on students in their fourth semester at the Faculty of Health Sciences. The data were collected using a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The results show that students have a strong preference for online presentations, both in terms of general satisfaction and ease of preparation, indicating the perceived advantages of the online format over traditional in class presentations. The majority of students believe that online presentations improve their communication skills. The findings have important implications for educators and institutions seeking to improve the effectiveness of oral presentation methods.

This research investigated the effects of parental involvement in promoting EFL students’ self-efficacy and learner autonomy. A total number of 204 students at the high school level in Surabaya with each representing parent of each student participated in this study. Students participating in this research filled out two close-ended questionnaires measuring their self-efficacy, incorporating a scale of 1 to 100 with the increments of 10, and a 5-point Likert scale for their learner autonomy levels. One representative parent for each student also completed a close-ended questionnaire with 5-point Likert scale to measure their parental involvement towards students’ home-based English learning activities. Using quantitative methods, both students’ self-efficacy and learner autonomy levels were descriptively analyzed, revealing that there were more students in the low levels of both variables rather than in the moderate and high levels. Moreover, comparisons of those levels were made among varying parental involvement levels as the independent variable where students’ self-efficacy and learner autonomy were regarded as the dependent variable. Post hoc comparisons revealed that parental involvement significantly affected both students’ self-efficacy and learner autonomy with a great magnitude. The mean differences further showed that the impact was significant between all levels of low and moderate, moderate and high, as well as low and high parental involvement. This study therefore provides support to Bandura’s triadic reciprocal determinism in the context of promoting EFL students’ self-efficacy and learner autonomy through the scope of the extents to which parents are involved to the students’ English language learning at home.

This study seeks to enhance students' speaking abilities through small group discussions. Many students face challenges in speaking English due to a lack of confidence and practice, while teachers often overlook engaging strategies that motivate students to participate. To address this, the researcher employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), which consisted of two cycles, each comprising two meetings focused on planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations, field notes, and evaluation sheets. The findings revealed significant improvement in each cycle, thanks to the grouping technique. In the first cycle, the average student score was 51, with many students not meeting the minimum competency standards (KKM). By the second cycle, however, all students successfully passed, achieving an average score of 79. The researcher concluded that small group discussions are an effective way to boost students' speaking ability. It is recommended that both students and teachers adopt this technique to further improve their speaking abilities.

This study seeks to enhance elementary school students' appreciation of Sasak cultural heritage in Central Lombok, an area increasingly influenced by tourism and exposure to foreign cultures. Recognizing a need to prioritize local cultural education, this research introduces illuminated stories, created with the input of five English teachers who contributed traditional stories and games from their childhood. Using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach, 20 students engaged with these stories, and their progress was assessed using a validated tool that measured both cultural knowledge and language proficiency. Preliminary results demonstrate improvements in students’ engagement, cultural understanding, and language skills, highlighting the effectiveness of combining cultural education with PBL. These findings encourage further research with larger and more varied student groups to build on these promising outcomes.

This research aims to recognize the factors triggering and foundations affecting teachers’ interactive decisions related to teachers’ personal development. Interactive decisions as teachers’ reaction to an unexpected situation during teaching and learning activities. The participants in this study are 3 (three) English course teachers. The participants were chosen using purposive sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The data then were analyzed using Gomm’s thematic analysis. The results showed that the factors triggering teachers’ interactive decisions were teachers’ assumptions, teachers’ expectations – students’ lack of cooperation, and technical problems; the foundations of the interactive decisions were teacher’s experience, students’ needs, and class management. These findings indicate that making an interactive decision is a complex process. Many situations may trigger it, and teachers have to cope with it instantly without preparation. These unexpected situations require teachers’ quick thinking and reaction which are based on and enrich their personal development.

Understanding by Design (UbD) can guide pre-service teachers (PST) in creating intended learning outcomes. However, there is still limited research focusing on the mechanisms of UbD. Therefore, this study aimed to assess UbD’s impact on pre-service teachers’ teaching and assessment skills and the challenges they face. one group-pre-test post-test design within a quasi experiment was conducted to examine the ongoing process of UbD implementation in a real classroom setting. The investigation involved 17 PSTs from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education in Denpasar for 7 weeks. The instruments included a teaching performance rubric, an observation checklist, and reflective journals. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, and thematic analysis. The results indicated that PSTs’ teaching skills significantly improved with Understanding by Design (UbD), as evidenced by an increase in the average score from 70.74 in Cycle 1 to 81.91 in Cycle 2, with more students achieving higher performance ratings after receiving feedback and reinforcement. Referring to T-test outputs p=0.000 > α=0.05 This study concludes that UbD significantly impacts PST’s teaching skills however, challenges remain in connecting cognitive-behavioral skills to real-world applications. Future research should explore specific strategies to address these challenges and investigate UbD’s long-term effects on teaching precision and student engagement.

Peer feedback in academic writing classes has gained considerable attention for its potential to enhance students' writing abilities, critical thinking, and engagement in learning. This study investigates students' perceptions of peer feedback in an Academic Writing course at MNC University. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews with seven students to gain in-depth insights into their experiences. The findings reveal that while most students view peer feedback as a valuable tool for improving writing skills, fostering collaboration, and encouraging critical reflection, others express concerns about confidence and feedback quality. Specifically, nearly half of the participants reported feeling unsure about their ability to provide effective feedback, and several noted the lack of clarity in the feedback they received. These findings underscore the importance of providing clearer guidelines on giving and implementing feedback. By addressing these challenges, instructors can foster stronger collaboration, enhance self-assessment skills, and boost engagement in the writing process. Structured peer feedback, when integrated effectively, can create a more interactive and reflective learning environment, ultimately contributing to improved writing performance and broader educational goals.
