Abstract

Cross-cultural understanding (CCU) is increasingly recognized as a crucial element in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL), as it not only enhances linguistic proficiency but also equips learners with the ability to navigate cultural nuances and social contexts. In response to this need, the current study developed instructional materials that integrate local cultural elements into CCU courses, aiming to improve EFL learners' communicative competences. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study followed three stages: define, design, and develop. The resulting product was a prototype of instructional materials tailored to teach CCU effectively. The materials underwent rigorous quality assessments through expert validation and field testing in English classes. The findings revealed that the instructional materials are valid and appropriate for teaching CCU, demonstrating a significant positive impact on learners’ communicative competences. Specifically, the integration of local cultural contexts fostered a deeper understanding of both target language use and cross-cultural interaction, bridging gaps between learners' cultural frameworks and English-communication contexts. The implication of this study underscores the importance of incorporating local cultural elements in CCU courses, highlighting that such integration not only contextualizes language learning but also enhances learners’ engagement and adaptability in real-world communication. By promoting culturally responsive teaching, these materials provide a model for developing context-sensitive EFL curricula that address global communication demands while preserving local cultural identity.

Abstract

English language learning in primary schools still needs more attention, especially regarding teacher training in designing effective lesson plans. Many teachers do not have an English language education background and have never received training in designing English language learning activities, so they have difficulty developing materials that meet students' needs. This study aims to determine how primary school teachers develop and implement English language learning activities in the classroom. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research subjects were two primary school teachers with a classroom teacher education background and teaching experience of 6 and 11 years respectively. The results showed that the teachers developed learning by watching learning videos and consulting with more experienced colleagues as a form of initiative and creativity in dealing with limited competencies and resources. They also face challenges in adapting methods to different student learning styles and managing limited learning time. Observations show that although the implementation of lesson plans is going according to plan, there are still problems with student participation, understanding of the material, and the effectiveness of activities, so adjustments to teaching strategies are needed. This study highlights the importance of sustained and equitable professional development so that all teachers, including those without an English education background, are able to teach adaptively and effectively in diverse classrooms.

Abstract

The integration of global issues, such as climate change, into English reading materials is crucial in the Independent Curriculum. However, there is a gap in current teaching resources regarding the inclusion of climate change topics in an accessible and engaging format. This study, conducted at SMA Srijaya Negara in Palembang, Indonesia, aims to analyze students' needs for climate change-based descriptive texts integrated into podcast scripts as supplementary teaching materials. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study involved questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 35 tenth-grade students, their English teacher, and a stakeholder. The findings reveal that students need materials that align with their English proficiency levels and are relevant to global issues, especially climate change. Students expressed a preference for descriptive texts that are not only informative but also simple to understand, allowing them to connect the theme of climate change with their real-life contexts through engaging and relatable materials. This study identifies a significant gap in the existing teaching materials, as they do not fully accommodate students' needs for climate change content presented in accessible descriptive text formats. Based on these findings, the study advocates for the development of climate change-based podcast scripts derived from descriptive texts, designed to match students' English proficiency and be more relevant to their daily lives. This research is expected to contribute to the development of supplementary teaching materials that enhance students' English skills while raising their awareness of climate change issues.

Abstract

The aim of the current research was to explore how the lecturer uses neurolinguistic programming (NPL) to maximize the students' potential when creating thesis proposals. This study poses two research questions: 1) What challenges do students have when writing their thesis proposals? and 2) How may NLP communication help students write their thesis proposals. A case study design that was employed in this study. Open-ended questionnaire was distributed to the students of English education department. The results of this study firstly highlight that the students’ difficulties in writing involved their lack of knowledge, psychological aspect and both of them. ability in writing skills, understanding contents, motivation. Another finding showed that the NLP communication in the form of teachers’ affirmations can bring the positive influence on the student’s perspectives and attitudes to write their proposal.  This study concludes that teachers can establish a more encouraging and productive learning environment by using ideas from positive psychology and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).

Abstract

This study investigates how teachers employ appraisal attitude resources—specifically affect, judgment, and appreciation—in their written comments on primary students' report cards, using the analytical lens of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Drawing on a qualitative phenomenological case study design, the research analyzed 30 teacher comments drawn from three subject areas: Mathematics, Language Arts, and Mandarin. The data collection also involved unstructured interviews with teachers to gain deeper insight into their comment-writing practices and underlying intentions. The analysis revealed a marked dominance of judgment resources, with 69 instances noted, which primarily conveyed evaluations of students' capabilities, behaviors, and attitudes toward learning. This was followed by 32 instances of appreciation, used to recognize the quality of students' work or learning outcomes. The least frequent were affect resources, with only 15 instances, indicating that emotional engagement or references to students' feelings were not a central focus in most comments. This distribution underscores a pedagogical emphasis on assessing students through their actions and academic performances rather than their emotional experiences. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for greater awareness of the linguistic resources teachers use in feedback and suggests that professional development in appraisal language could help teachers craft more holistic, meaningful, and student-centered evaluations.

Abstract

This study examined the access and use of digital technology and the approach preference and experience in learning listening skills among undergraduate students at Addis Ababa Science and Technology University (AASTU). The researchers conducted a case study with a randomized sample of students. They collected data through a questionnaire (292 students) and focus group discussions. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Though students possessed smartphones, computers, and internet access, inconsistent Wi-Fi coverage presented challenges. A mixed-methods approach revealed a preference for technology-enhanced learning, with students appreciating its potential for authentic accents and fluency practice. However, traditional teacher-read approaches remained valuable for comprehension and familiarity. While comfortable with technology, students had not fully explored its potential for language learning. Limited listening practice and exposure to diverse accents were highlighted. Integrating diverse listening materials, technology-assisted practice, and differentiated instruction based on English language proficiency is recommended to create a more effective and engaging language learning environment that harnesses the power of technology without neglecting the comfort of familiar methods. The research urges teachers to leverage students' tech savvy and access to enhance listening instruction by intentionally embracing diverse digital tools and materials beyond classic classroom limitations.

Abstract

Grammar mastery is a fundamental component of language proficiency, yet many EFL students struggle with learning grammar through conventional methods, which are often perceived as monotonous and ineffective. Gamification has emerged as a promising instructional strategy to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. This study investigates the effectiveness of Scrambled Games in improving grammar mastery among 11th-grade students at SMAN 1 Depok, particularly in hortatory exposition writing. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was employed, as it allows for iterative implementation and direct observation of students’ progress in a real classroom setting. The study involved 33 students, with data collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and classroom observations. Statistical analysis using paired sample t-tests revealed a significant improvement in student performance, with the mean pre-test score increasing from 61.49 to 73.15 post-intervention (p < 0.05). Monitoring protocol results indicated moderate to high engagement levels, with notable gains in problem-solving, active participation, and grammatical accuracy. The findings suggest that Scrambled Games can serve as an effective alternative to traditional grammar instruction, fostering active learning and student motivation. However, implementation challenges, such as varying proficiency levels and time constraints, highlight the need for differentiated instruction and supplementary digital resources. These results underscore the potential of game-based learning in enhancing EFL instruction, providing educators with a dynamic approach to teaching grammar. Future research should explore long-term effects, digital adaptations, and variations in game design to optimize its impact on language learning.

Abstract

Drawing upon naturalistic data since the intake of English at the age of two, this longitudinal intrinsic case study examines the developmental trajectories of bilingual subject realization in an Early Second Language Acquisition (ESLA). Early bilingual exposure is widely recognized for its cognitive and linguistic benefits, yet challenges such as first language (L1) interference remain underexplored. This study focuses on a single child’s unique language learning journey which offers an in-depth exploration of how specific parental strategies, including exclusive use of English at home, curated media exposure, and interactive language use, contribute to the child reaching a CEFR B2 level by age seven. Despite the supportive language environment, this study identifies consistent patterns of L1 interference in areas such as syntax, word order, and morphology. Using qualitative analyses of spontaneous speech data, this study identifies recurring error patterns and their implications for bilingual language development. The findings emphasize the dual role of parental influence in fostering second language (L2) proficiency while also revealing structural challenges that necessitate personalized corrective strategies. This research offers practical insights for parents and educators in emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to mitigate L1 interference and optimize bilingual acquisition outcomes.

Abstract

Academic research writing (ARW) is a complex, epistemic, and disciplinary practice fundamental to postgraduate scholarship. Despite its centrality in higher education, novice researchers (NRs) often face persistent challenges, including limited epistemological awareness, difficulties with disciplinary conventions, and inadequate pedagogical support. This study addresses these gaps by proposing a conceptual framework that integrates Swales’ Create a Research Space (CARS) model with context-specific guidance to enhance ARW instruction. A narrative review methodology was employed to synthesize research on four core domains: content, context, language and structure, and cognitive ability. These constituent characteristics were mapped against common difficulties experienced by NRs and aligned with pedagogical strategies for scaffolding academic writing. The findings underscore the need for inclusive and responsive writing instruction that supports epistemic development and academic identity formation. The framework offers practical implications for writing curriculum design, mentoring, and instructional interventions. It also lays the groundwork for future empirical research to test its efficacy across varied educational contexts.

Abstract

The rise of online platforms like "????" (formerly Twitter) has transformed political discourse, where netizens frequently use expressive speech acts to communicate emotions and opinions. This study examines how expressive speech acts are used in netizen comments responding to President Joe Biden's post about U.S. economic growth, focusing on emotional expressions that reflect public sentiment. Through the application of Searle's theory of speech acts and Austin's felicity conditions, the research analyzes 46 comments using content analysis. The findings show a predominant use of literal and direct speech acts to express negative emotions, particularly dissatisfaction with Biden's economic policies. Additionally, the presence of sarcasm and irony demonstrates the complexity of online discourse, where non-literal speech acts convey more nuanced forms of criticism. These insights emphasize the evolving role of digital communication in political engagement and suggest the need for further research on how speech acts shape public opinion.
