Abstract

This research investigates language centres within Indonesia’s higher education institutions, aiming to examine their forms, functions, and the challenges they face. Drawing on responses from 109 participants across 14 universities, the study highlights the legal basis of their establishment, with most centres relying on rector-issued regulations. The management structure emphasizes the central role of the Head of Language Centre, responsible for both administrative coordination and academic leadership. Findings reveal a broad range of language services, with Indonesian and English as core languages, supported by various regional and international languages. Educational functions feature prominently, including language training and certification. Language centres also contribute to research by managing language-related data and serve as key hubs for community service, extending their impact beyond the university setting. However, several challenges persist, including limited infrastructure and funding, repetitive programming, and human resource limitations. Future research should expand institutional coverage, apply diverse methodologies, and examine the influence of technological developments. To strengthen the strategic role of language centres, policymakers are encouraged to implement a standardized classification and accreditation system based on their varied forms and functions. Such a framework would promote quality assurance, institutional accountability, and allow universities to leverage accredited centres for academic advancement and eligibility for government-existing research grant schemes.

Abstract

This study investigates how English teachers integrate Generative AI—ChatGPT, Diffit, and Brisk—into their instructional practices, focusing on their strategies, challenges and pedagogical adaptations. These tools were selected based on their distinctive functionalities: ChatGPT for content generation, Diffit for text simplification, and Brisk for creating multimedia presentations and teaching aids. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, data were collected from twelve primary and junior high school ELT teachers, setting through reflective journals, focus group discussions, and document analysis. The findings of this study showed that although GAI offered strengths such as fostering creativity, enhancing accessibility, and engaging students, the tools also have some limitations in terms of content inaccuracy, oversimplification, and lack of contextual adaptability. Therefore, teacher intervention is required in its implementation. In this study, teachers used reflection-in-action to make real-time adjustments, reflection-on-action to refine the integration strategies, and collaborative reflection to exchange best practices. Additionally, findings highlight teacher agency’s importance in leveraging AI for lesson planning and differentiated instruction. It further highlights the need for professional development in AI literacy to equip educators with skills to evaluate and adapt AI-generated content critically. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI in Education, demonstrating how generative AI can function as a teaching aid rather than a replacement for pedagogical experts.

Abstract

This study adopts an experiential analysis approach to examine how sexual harassment is represented in opinion columns published by The Jakarta Post. Utilizing Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as the theoretical framework, the research focuses on exploring how language is structured to convey experiential meaning, particularly through the transitivity system. As a form of qualitative and descriptive research, this study investigates online news texts with the aim of uncovering how linguistic choices reflect and construct social realities. The central analytical focus lies in identifying types of processes, participant roles, and circumstantial elements within the clauses of the texts. These components are crucial for understanding how actions, events, and relationships are framed in relation to gender and power dynamics. Through the analysis of 436 clauses, the findings indicate that material and relational processes are the most frequently used. Material processes reflect actions and events, while relational processes emphasize classification, attribution, and identification. Their prevalence suggests that opinion columnists highlight both the concrete experiences of harassment and the ways individuals and groups are labeled or characterized. This dominance illustrates how language is strategically employed to both narrate and evaluate incidents of sexual harassment. By analyzing these linguistic features, the study sheds light on how media discourse contributes to shaping public understanding and societal attitudes toward gender-related issues. Ultimately, the study provides valuable insight into how opinion columns, as influential media texts, can reinforce or challenge dominant ideologies, thus playing a critical role in public discourse surrounding sexual harassment.

Abstract

Betawi folklore holds great potential as both a didactic and creative medium. Integrating Betawi folklore into literacy reading materials for elementary school students can yield positive educational benefits. However, due to the diversity of Betawi folklore, teachers must carefully select appropriate stories and implement effective learning strategies to ensure educational objectives are met. This study examines the appropriateness of Betawi folklore as literacy reading material for elementary school students. Employing a qualitative research approach, it utilizes content analysis techniques to assess intrinsic literary elements—such as themes, plots, characters, and settings—based on children's literature principles and cognitive development theories, particularly Piaget's concrete operational stage. The primary data sources include Cerita Rakyat Betawi 1 and Cerita Rakyat Betawi  by Rahmat Ali. To validate the content analysis findings, teachers were asked to evaluate the suitability of Betawi folklore through a questionnaire. The results indicate that teachers must exercise careful selection, as not all Betawi folklore align with children's literature criteria and cognitive development stages. This study recommends strategies for adapting Betawi folklore to enhance its suitability for literacy activities in elementary schools.

Abstract

In the fall of 2024, the People’s Education Press (PEP) of China published the latest edition of its English as a foreign language (EFL) textbook for the first semester of seventh grade. This study conducted a content analysis of the EFL textbook for the first semester of seventh grade from the perspective of values. After content analysis, the researchers concluded that this EFL textbook includes two dimensions and five themes at the value level. Personal values include morality and identity, and social values include patriotism, collectivism, and cultural concepts. This study used critical discourse analysis to interpret the themes of content analysis. The researchers argued that patriotism, collectivism, Chinese culture, and the current state of education all influenced this EFL textbook. The researchers suggested that this EFL textbook should be further revised to be more diverse, inclusive, and critical. In addition, the researchers attached importance to the analysis of this EFL textbook from a global context perspective and suggested that global citizenship education should be included. This study provides corresponding suggestions for the compilation of EFL textbooks by PEP and education policymakers in China.

Abstract

Majority of people, nowadays, are bi/multilingual due to mobility and globalisation. Consequently, this has brought about decolonisation of some colonial practices that were employed during the colonial period.  One of the colonial practices was the use of ‘one language at the time’ in classroom settings which was grounded on the colonial ‘monolingual-bias’ notion. In South Africa, teachers seem to employ this practice regardless of the bi/multilingual classroom contexts. For example, when it is time for English lesson, they only allow the use of English only and no other language to avoid ‘contamination’. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of teachers on the use of more than one language. It further explores the use of translanguaging as a pedagogy that could be used to do away with language boundaries that were created during the colonial era.  Participants were purposively sampled language teachers at bilingual primary schools in SOWETO, Johannesburg, South Africa.  The study adopted a qualitative research design from which semi-structured interviews and observations were used. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse data.  The findings demonstrate that teachers are reluctant to allow the use of more than one language at a time in their classrooms. Their reluctance is grounded on the belief of the monolingual bias theory to avoid language ‘contamination’.  This study recommends translanguaging as a practical approach for a decolonial move where bilingual learners will be allowed to use all their linguistic repertoires for better comprehension and meaning making.

Abstract

The proliferation of mobile learning has introduced a wide range of educational apps and flexible learning supports, extending education beyond traditional constraints of time and location. While mobile learning has proven effective for language acquisition, its potential extends into areas of digital engagement critical to modern education. Differentiated instruction, essential for personalized learning, can particularly benefit from mobile learning platforms, as demonstrated in this study’s focus on viewing skills, a component highlighted in Indonesia’s Independent Curriculum but less explored in research. This qualitative study reflects on English teachers' experiences using mobile learning to teach viewing skills to secondary students across Indonesia, utilizing interviews, focus groups, and digital artefacts to gather insights. Findings reveal that mobile learning facilitates differentiated instruction in viewing skills, fosters student motivation and critical thinking, enhances digital literacy, and requires teacher strategies to mitigate distractions. These results suggest that structured mobile learning integration can effectively promote differentiated learning across diverse skills, offering educators a flexible tool for skill-specific instruction.

Abstract

Education has been recognised as a fundamental part of local, national and international efforts to bring about environmental sustainability. However, some schools are confused to integrate it in school program and to raise students awareness towards the environmental issues. The purpose of this study is to explore the integration of ecological education (Eco-Edu) in English Language Teaching (ELT) materials and its role in promoting students’ critical thinking and sustainable behaviour. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. For triangulation data, the researchers combined qualitative data from interviews and quantitative data from questionnaires. The respondents of this study were teachers from five different schools which have integrated the ecological theme in ELT materials. Five informants from five schools were interviewed extensively to collect qualitative data. The interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis using ChatGPT application tools. The findings of this study indicated that teachers were able to integrate the environmental education by applying various ecological themes in ELT materials which could promote the students’ critical thinking and raise their sustainable behavior. Teachers noted that students became more proactive in environmental initiatives, such as waste management and tree planting, reflecting a greater awareness of ecological concerns. Moreover, the study highlighted the importance of institutional support and teacher preparedness in successfully implementing Eco-Edu. Ultimately, the integration of Eco-Edu in ELT not only improved language skills but also cultivated a sense of responsibility toward the environment, equipping students with the knowledge and motivation to address global ecological challenges.
