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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
