Abstract

One of the most difficult skills in English is writing, especially for university students who have to master academic writing because they have final project in writing undergraduate thesis. The students face many difficulties in writing undergraduate thesis because they need to learn how to communicate the argument rationally and provide evidence in intellectual perspective to present the arguments in a logical order. In order to solve their writing problems, students can apply writing strategies. Therefore, this study is about writing strategies used by EFL students in undergraduate thesis writing process at English Education study program. This study’s objectives are to find out the kinds of writing strategies, and the dominant writing strategy applied by EFL students in writing undergraduate thesis. This research employed descriptive qualitative procedure with case study design. The subjects of the study were eleven EFL students of 2019 class at UNIROW. The data were taken from the questionnaire and interview. Then, the data were analyzed qualitatively through data reduction by identifying, grouping and coding, data display, describing, interpreting, and conclusion drawing. The result showed that the students applied 8 strategies in before writing, 14 strategies in during writing, and 16 strategies in after writing. The dominant strategy applied was during writing with the average score of 3.68, which can be categorized as high frequency, followed by before writing (3.54), and after writing (3.23). In conclusion, writing strategies are essential in assisting students during writing undergraduate thesis to produce better academic writing.

Abstract

Integrating writing instruction with local cultural elements is essential for improving literacy outcomes that resonate with students' lived experiences and cultural identities. However, field observations reveal that such integration remains underutilized in many educational contexts, including at SD Negeri Dinoyo 2 Malang, East Java—a school situated in a region known for its ceramic industry. This classroom action research aimed to enhance students' writing skills using the culturally rooted strategy titled "Dinoyo Ceramics and I." Conducted over two cycles with 25 students from Class 5A, the study began by introducing students to Dinoyo ceramic products through physical artifacts and visual media showcasing their historical significance. Students were then encouraged to describe these items in terms of their appeal, function, and value as souvenirs or treasured objects. Based on this exposure, students generated writing ideas under the theme "Dinoyo Ceramics and I," which they first organized into outlines and then developed into full compositions. In the second cycle, imaginative elements were incorporated to enrich the outlines, and students were guided to present each idea in a well-structured paragraph. This approach enabled students to creatively weave personal experiences into compelling narratives that retained Dinoyo ceramics as a central motif. The strategy sparked greater engagement, as students connected deeply with a topic rooted in their cultural environment. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing students’ everyday experiences as meaningful content for writing. Thus, educators should consider incorporating local cultural themes into writing instruction to build more relevant, motivating, and expressive learning experiences.

Abstract

Indonesian postgraduate students encounter significant challenges in academic writing, particularly in areas such as clarity, coherence, organization, grammar, and plagiarism prevention. This study investigates these challenges and explores the potential of AI-driven strategies to enhance writing skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys of 50 participants and qualitative interviews with six postgraduates, the research identified key obstacles such as difficulty in formulating clear research questions, using precise academic vocabulary, maintaining logical flow, and mastering citation practices. To address the issues, they employed several effective strategies employed      including seeking feedback, attending workshops, outlining, varying sentence structures, and thorough proofreading. AI tools like Grammarly, QuillBot, ChatGPT, and Mendeley are widely used for grammar checks, paraphrasing, citation management, and enhancing coherence, demonstrating their value in supporting academic writing. However, the study underscores the importance of human oversight to ensure originality and foster critical thinking. These findings have implications for both theoretical advancement and educational practice, particularly in the integration of AI tools in higher education. The findings hold significant implications for educational practice, suggesting that AI integration in higher education can serve as an effective support tool, provided it is accompanied by guidance on responsible usage.

Abstract

This study investigates the incorporation of cultural information in English teaching materials utilised in high schools in Indonesia and the Philippines. This research utilises a qualitative content analysis methodology to assess two textbooks: Bahasa Inggris English for Change (Indonesia) and Oral Communication in Context for Senior High School (Philippines). The analysis employs Cortazzi and Jin’s cultural content categories (source, target, international culture) alongside Adaskou, Britten, and Fahsi's four dimensions of culture (aesthetic, sociological, semantic, pragmatic). The findings indicate a common focus on local (source) culture, substantial representation of English- speaking nations (target culture), and initiatives to incorporate worldwide viewpoints. Nevertheless, there are notable differences in the methodologies and thematic emphasis that reflect specific sociocultural situations. The study emphasises the significance of culturally responsive pedagogy and provides recommendations for curriculum developers to enhance intercultural competency in English language instruction.

Abstract

Amidst growing concerns over early literacy challenges in rural Indonesia, this study examines the impact of interactive multimedia on improving early reading skills among first-grade students at Banaran 2 Public Elementary School, in Temanggung Regency. The research adopts a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model and employs a quasi-experimental time-series design. A purposive sampling method was used to select 21 first-grade students based on their early reading difficulties and access to computer facilities. Data collection methods included expert validation, questionnaires, interviews, observations, and reading tests. Findings indicate that the developed multimedia is highly suitable (91.67%) and practical (94.87%) for early reading instruction. Statistical analysis (p < 0.005) confirms its significant impact on students' reading abilities. These results suggest that interactive multimedia can serve as an effective tool for enhancing early literacy in elementary education, particularly in resource-limited settings. To maximize its potential, future research should explore its long-term effects and adaptation in diverse linguistic and educational contexts, providing valuable insights for curriculum development and technology integration in early childhood education.

Abstract

In the 21st century, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills is essential for students. This study analyzes the manifestation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) in the English textbook ‘English for Nusantara’ for Grade VII. HOTS involves higher-level cognitive processes such as analysis, evaluation, and creation, while LOTS focuses on recall and comprehension. Involving a qualitative research design with a content analysis approach, this study applied Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy, which categorize exercises into LOTS (remember, understand, and apply) and HOTS (analyze, evaluate, and create). A total of 116 exercises in the form of instructions and 67 exercises in the form of questions from listening, speaking, reading, and writing tasks were analyzed. To maintain consistency, inter-rater reliability was ensured, where the analysis was cross-verified through discussions with a validator. The findings show that LOTS dominates the exercises, with 81% of the exercises are in the form of instructions and 89% in the form of questions. This indicates a heavy emphasis on LOTS and suggests an opportunity for more HOTS integration. Based on these findings, the study recommends that teachers incorporate more HOTS-focused activities, and textbook authors should design future editions with a stronger emphasis on HOTS exercises to foster critical thinking skills. Such adjustments would better equip students to meet the demands of the 21st century.

One of the conceptual frameworks that are widely used to measure and assess this competency is Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK). Therefore, this study aims to (1) describe how in-service English teachers integrate technology into their EFL teaching, and (2) explain the perceptions of these teachers regarding their TPACK competency. The research is a mixed-method study that combines quantitative and qualitative data collection using observation and questionnaires. Thirty teachers consisting 11 male and 19 female involved in this study.  The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analyses, while the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis by presenting themes and codes.  The finding of the study shows that in-service English teachers have "good" competence of TPACK as shown in the mean of the questionnaire result is 3.94 which belongs to the good category. Among 7 TPACK categories, TPK is the highest with the mean 4.14, on the other hand, PCK is the lowest with a mean 2.94. There are 16 types of ICT integrated in their lesson. PPT, blog, Pinterest, and YouTube are mostly used their English lesson with 100% on the other hand, Link Tree and Elsa Speak is the lowest used. Overall, these findings underscore the importance of further training that focuses not only on the use of technology, but also on how it can be effectively linked to content and pedagogical approaches in the context of English language learning.

Abstract

Communicating in activities is an activity that can never be separated from human life. Inappropriate communication can make the other person interpret the conversation with a different meaning, including the wrong meaning. The use of critical language must be clarified with its intent. The use of this speech act is carried out not only verbally but also in writing. Thus, in speaking, it is not only found in oral communication but also in written communication, for example novels. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the types of speech strategies in speech acts of criticizing urban society in Indonesian metropop novels. This study is about speech strategies in the form of speech acts criticizing urban society in metropop novels using a mixed method research type. The research instrument is the researcher himself who is equipped with an inventory format, identification, and data classification. The results of this study are that the most common speech strategy found is the strategy of speaking without further ado. Meanwhile, the least is in the strategy of speaking frankly with positive politeness. The implications of this study can be applied in the learning process, namely in the related basic competencies, namely commenting on original or translated youth novel excerpts (KD 14.1) in junior high school class VIII semester two.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum was introduced to address the need for a more flexible and responsive education system, which is crucial in a diverse country like Indonesia. Educational challenges vary significantly between urban and rural areas and public and private schools. This study investigates the factors that hinder the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum and examines how English teachers apply it in senior high schools located in inland and hinterland areas of the Riau Islands region.. The methodology used a mixed-method approach. The research involved 30 English teachers—23 from island schools and 7 from hinterland schools. Data were gathered through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, with 5 teachers providing in-depth insights during interviews. The results reveal significant gaps in implementation, particularly among hinterland teachers, where 42.9% reported limited adaptability. The finding shows that each teacher faces unique challenges, which include: 1) administrative costs, 2) adjustments to new curricular components, and 3) a lack of government support, all of which hinder successful integration of the curriculum. To successfully implement the Merdeka curriculum, the following are essential: 1) involvement and support from all parties, 2) comprehensive teacher training, and 3) teachers' readiness. This study emphasizes that the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum depends on the active participation of every school, ensuring that there is readiness, support, and adaptation to the new educational framework.
