Motivation plays a pivotal role in the success of second language acquisition, as indicated by numerous studies. While it has long been acknowledged that motivated learners tend to achieve better outcomes, various taxonomies have emerged to differentiate motivation types. The two widely recognized classifications are intrinsic/extrinsic and integrative/instrumental. This cross-sectional research aims to comprehensively discuss and analyze the four types of motivation exhibited by students at one of the private university in Indonesia enrolled in English for International Communication (TOEIC-based) classes. A structured questionnaire based on Gardner's Attitudes/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) was utilized as the research instrument. The study spanned one year, during which students were exposed to a minimum of two TOEIC-based classes. The research sample, consisting of 446 students, was thoughtfully selected through purposive sampling techniques. This sample was further stratified, with 254 students drawn from the third-fourth semesters and 192 students from the fifth-sixth semesters. The findings, presented in numerical format, revealed that a majority of students demonstrated high levels of motivation across all motivation classifications. This research sheds light on the motivation dynamics of the students, providing valuable insights for educators and language learning practitioners.

In this modern era, the use of technology in education is growing, especially after the Covid 19 pandemic, which forced the educational world to adapt to technology so that learning can continue even though it is limited by space and time. So in the post-pandemic, education was used using technology, and student independence in learning has been well developed so that blended learning can be an alternative learning model in this new normal era. 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. It was descriptive qualitative research with a total sample of 70 students who took an English subject in the odd semester of the 2022/2023 academic year at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Banyuwangi. Based on the questionnaire results, student perceptions of using Sevima Edlink were generally positive. Interview results showed that the Sevima Edlink made the students easier to download learning materials, collect assignments more disciplined, and save data storage. 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.

The English writing learning process is crucial in English language education, but it often faces challenges such as limited resources and ineffective teaching methods. To address these issues, this study explores the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, specifically in the writing course. The research aims to investigate how the integration of PBL and TPACK can enhance students' writing learning outcomes (assessing their content and clarity, structure of the writing, and language quality). The research follows a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design with a quantitative approach. The subjects consist of 10th-grade students from a public high school in Pasuruan Regency, with a total of 33 participants. Data collection instruments include pre and post writing tests and observation. Data analysis is conducted using Microsoft Excel, employing percentages. The findings demonstrate that the implementation of PBL integrated with TPACK leads to significant improvements in students' writing learning outcomes. In the pre-cycle, the pass percentage was only 39.39%, while in cycle I, it increased to 75.76%, and in cycle II, it reached 93.94%. This study contributes to the development of curricula and teaching methods for English writing. These findings have important implications for future writing instruction that can help improve students' writing learning outcomes. This study’s limitations are constraining the applicability of its findings to diverse educational environments and a relatively brief timeframe. Future research could explore cross-cultural variations, delve into extended research periods, and compare the effectiveness of PBL and TPACK with alternative teaching models in EFL education.

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.

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.
