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

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

This study investigates the integration of sustainable education into English Language Teaching (ELT) for fifth-grade students at SDN 115 Palembang. As sustainable development gains global urgency, education plays a crucial role in fostering environmental awareness among young learners. However, limited resources integrating climate change topics into ELT highlight a significant research gap. In this context, multimodal texts-combining text, visual, audio and interactive elements-are a solution as an effective and interesting learning media. This research focuses on conducting a needs analysis regarding the use of multimodal texts in climate change learning in ELT. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with 30 students and qualitative interviews with English teacher and vice principal of curriculum. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for the quantitative data and thematic analysis for the qualitative data. Findings highlight the urgent need for multimodal texts to support sustainable education literacy in ELT. Students showed a strong interest in learning about climate change and taking action to protect their environment, emphasizing the effectiveness of multimodal texts in making these concepts more engaging and accessible. While students recognize the importance of learning English and climate change topics, existing ELT materials lack sufficient multimodal resources to facilitate this integration. It can be concluded that multimodal texts are urgently needed to support sustainable education literacy in ELT. Therefore, this study advocates for the integration of digital multimodal texts to enhance both language learning and sustainability education.

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

In the context of teacher professionalism, the ability to effectively integrate technology into teaching practices is now part of the basic competencies that must be possessed. 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

This study explores the application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as a tool to enhance environmental vocabulary learning and improve the speaking skills of tourism employees in Sumbawa. Given the importance of English proficiency in the tourism industry, many employees face challenges in mastering vocabulary and effective communication. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with 16 employees from four tourism sites. The findings indicate that 87.5% of respondents believe AR significantly aids vocabulary expansion, with 75% reporting increased confidence in speaking English. Additionally, 62.5% see AR as relevant to their professional needs, while 50% find it helpful in understanding environmental terminology. Despite these benefits, some challenges remain, including limited access to AR devices and the absence of real-time feedback. The study concludes that AR has substantial potential to enhance language learning by improving vocabulary retention and speaking proficiency. Moreover, integrating AR into tourism training programs could further support employees in developing essential language skills for their professional growth.

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

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.

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

Development in reading literacy is the most important thing in the process of child development at an early age.  For this reason, there is a need for innovation in learning to improve students' reading literacy learning process. One of them is by using the traditional game media congklak. This study aims to increase the level of reading literacy learning of students at the age of 5-6 years. The approach used in this study is a quantitative approach with a Pre-Experimental Designs design where this method uses one class to be given treatment. The subjects used were all children aged 5-6 years with a total of 36 children. Data collection was carried out by researchers by means of observation, interviews, as well as documentation. Then the test carried out is by using validity test, reliability test, normality test, and N-Gain. The results showed that, with the learning media, the game of congklak can increase students' interest in learning. Not only that, but it also makes learning so varied and fun. This can provide an opportunity to develop children's literacy at an early age.
