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

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 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

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.

Abstract

This study explores the language attitudes of the Tolaki people in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, focusing on their perceptions of the Tolaki language in comparison to immigrant or dominant languages such as Indonesian. As a sociolinguistic investigation, the research examines how language pride, loyalty, and awareness influence language maintenance or contribute to language shift. The study targets all native speakers of the Tolaki language residing in Kendari, a city administratively divided into 10 sub-districts. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted to ensure a representative sample. Stratified sampling was employed to select participants based on demographic factors such as age, gender, education, and occupation. In the first stage, six sub-districts—Abeli, Kendari, Poasia, Puwatu, Kambu, and Wua-wua—were chosen due to their high concentration of Tolaki speakers. A total of 322 respondents participated in the study. Data were collected using structured questionnaires to measure language attitudes, semi-structured interviews to explore deeper personal and cultural insights, and direct observation to assess actual language use in daily contexts. The quantitative data were processed using SPSS, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that language attitudes among Tolaki speakers—especially concerning pride in using the language, loyalty to its use, and awareness of its norms—were generally low. This decline in positive language attitudes, particularly among younger generations, has contributed to a noticeable language shift. The Tolaki language is increasingly marginalized in daily communication, indicating a weakening intergenerational transmission and a growing dominance of Indonesian in informal and public domains.

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.
