Abstract

Writing in English is an essential skill for ESL learners, and qualified teachers play a key role in providing effective written corrective feedback (WCF). While much research has examined the general effectiveness of WCF, less attention has been given to teachers’ perceptions of WCF methods and expected outcomes. This qualitative study investigated Libyan university English teachers’ perceptions of their knowledge, experience, and training related to WCF. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four participants and were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in their beliefs and practices. Findings revealed that participants held clear views on providing writing corrections but showed inconsistencies in their understanding and use of specific WCF types, often due to limited training. These results underscore the need for targeted professional development programs that help teachers apply various feedback methods effectively. Such initiatives can strengthen EFL pedagogy by aligning teacher feedback practices with students’ learning needs and institutional writing objectives. Future research may explore the long-term effects of WCF on learners’ writing proficiency and feedback retention.

Abstract

Mastering English grammar is essential for effective communication, academic success, and professional growth. As one important language element, grammar helps learners in expressing ideas more clearly, avoiding misunderstanding, and engaging in meaningful interactions. Yet, many secondary school students in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) face challenges in mastering grammar due to traditional teaching methods and a lack of engaging learning sources. This study examines the effectiveness of integrating Islamic content and technology into English grammar teaching to enhance students’ learning experiences and outcomes. In particular, the research investigates the impact of the Quizizz platform as an interactive gamified learning tool for grammar instruction. A pre-experimental design with pre- and post-tests was employed to measure the student's progress in grammar proficiency after exposure to Islamic content-based instruction and interactive digital platforms such as Quizizz. In its statistical analysis, the test results revealed a significant improvement in grammar proficiency, with an Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, confirming the hypothesis that using Quizizz positively impacts student learning outcomes. The findings demonstrate that integrating technology into grammar instruction can enhance engagement, understanding, and application of grammar concepts. This study underscores the potential integrating religious content with technology-driven instruction to facilitate effective grammar learning in Islamic boarding school settings. Future studies with broader sample sizes, long-term treatment, and control group comparison is needed to strengthen the generalizability of the research results.

Abstract

The difficulty of bilingual practice at one of the Islamic Boarding Colleges (Mahad Al Jamiah) institutions in East Java is a clear indication of the mahasantri’s (students’) lack of confidence. The language policy known as “yaumul-fannil-lughawi” provides mahasantri with the chance to practice bilingualism in the Mahad environment.  They have different perspectives and ways of thinking, and mahasantri can respond differently. These conditions cause resistance among the mahasantri in Mahad towards implementing multilingual practices. As such, it is imperative to scrutinize the language policy practices in Mahad, specifically, the conclusions and answers about positive, neutral, and negative language practices. According to this study, other factors have also contributed to the successful improvement of Mahad’s language environment, in addition to the implementation of yaumul-fannil-lughawi (language policy). There are still many mahasantri who lack confidence in their language skills. The fact that some mahasantri hide in the toilet as a means of protest shows that the (language policy) has not succeeded in ensuring that every mahasantri is satisfied. Hence, the multilingual practice in Mahad demonstrates that the bilingual language policy is not being correctly implemented, despite it being in place. There needs to be mature collaboration in designing a language program.

Abstract

This qualitative case study explores reflective practice activities experienced by Indonesian pre-service teachers in teaching English for Young Learners during Kampus Mengajar Program initiated by the Goverment of Indonesia. Using Gibbs’ Reflective cycles framework, which includes description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, and action plan, this study examines how reflective practice activities during the teaching practicum influence their teacher identity development. Five pre-service teachers were invited to join in this research. Data were collected through close-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interview, then analyzed with Miles and Huberman’s model. The findings indicate that reflective practice activities help them to develop their identity as a teacher, and Kampus Mengajar Program gives them opportunities to improve their teaching skills. The analysis of the data yielded seven categories: Opportunities to reflect, Expression of feelings, Teaching awareness, Lifelong learning, Self-confidence, Self-assessment, and Self-belief. This study highlight the importance of reflective practice activities in shaping the teacher identity and sustain the teacher professional development. The findings suggest that the policy in teacher education is essential to foster reflective practice activites during the teaching practicum.

Abstract

This study examines how TPACK-based flipped learning improves undergraduate EFL essay writing. Traditional lecture-based education has failed to address EFL students' academic essay challenges including coherence, grammatical precision, and argument organization. We employed a quasi-experimental mixed-methods approach with 60 undergraduate EFL students at a private university in Jakarta, Indonesia, randomly assigned to control or experimental groups for a 12-week intervention. The experimental group employed TPACK-based flipped learning, incorporating pre-class video lectures, online interactive quizzes, Google Docs collaborative writing, grammar-checking software, and scaffolded peer review, whereas the control group received traditional lectures. The experimental group demonstrated significant improvement across all writing skills, including coherence, grammar accuracy, and argumentation. Analysis of covariance revealed that the intervention accounted for nearly one-third of post-test performance differences, whereas the control group made minor, non-significant gains. Qualitative data revealed positive student responses: 89% reported a better understanding of essay structure, and 87% indicated significant improvement in writing skills. These findings provide EFL educators with a validated framework for meaningful technology integration into writing instruction, demonstrating that systematic TPACK implementation can transform traditional pedagogy into student-centered, collaborative learning environments. While limited to intermediate-level learners in a specific cultural context, this research offers scalable strategies for institutions seeking evidence-based approaches to enhance academic writing outcomes through purposeful technology integration.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has transformed language learning media, with podcasts emerging as an alternative platform to enhance speaking skills. This study investigates the use of Arabic podcasts integrated with strong motivation to learn in improving students’ Arabic speaking skills (maharah al-kalam). The study applies a qualitative case study approach. Data were gathered through open-ended questionnaires and in-depth interviews with students actively engaging with Arabic-language podcast content. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that podcasts significantly support the development of speaking fluency, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation accuracy, and learner confidence in oral communication. Exposure to authentic and contextual input through podcasts facilitates meaningful learning experiences while promoting flexible and independent learning strategies. These outcomes reinforce the theoretical relevance of Communicative Language Teaching and Second Language Acquisition frameworks within Arabic language instruction supported by digital audio media. Importantly, this study addresses a gap in Arabic language pedagogy, as previous research has largely concentrated on EFL or younger learners, leaving higher education contexts underexplored. By situating Arabic podcasts within a university setting, the study provides empirical evidence for their role as an innovative alternative to enhance speaking proficiency. The study further recommends that educators incorporate podcasts into classroom practices, curriculum design, and independent learning activities to optimize student engagement and outcomes. It also opens pedagogical opportunities for integrating podcasts as an instructional strategy in higher education and calls for further research on their long-term impact on other language competencies.

Abstract

This study investigates the translation competence of third-semester students in the English Education Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar, focusing on the translation of argumentative texts from English into Indonesian. While previous research has mainly examined narrative or descriptive genres, studies on argumentative texts remain limited, despite their prominence in academic contexts and their demanding linguistic and cognitive features. This study addresses the lack of empirical work on argumentative translation and contributes practical strategies for EFL teachers. A quantitative descriptive design was employed to evaluate students’ translation performance across three key dimensions: accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Data were collected through a performance-based translation test and assessed using a rubric adapted from Nababan (2012). Findings revealed that although most students produced translations that were acceptable and readable, accuracy emerged as the most problematic dimension. Only 53.3% of the students achieved fully accurate translations, compared with stronger performance in acceptability (66.7%) and moderate results in readability (40%). These outcomes indicate that while students demonstrated cultural and linguistic fluency, they struggled with semantic precision and logical coherence. The results highlight the pedagogical need for integrating genre-based translation tasks into EFL curricula and providing explicit instruction in strategies such as managing logical flow, coherence, and stylistic alignment.

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the strategy of a teenager with progeria to represent his identity and ideology through the analysis of transitivity and critical discourse analysis. This research applied a qualitative descriptive study. The data is taken from TEDx Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36m1o-tM05g entitled My philosophy for a happy life. The storyteller named Sam Bern told his life philosophy despite his disability due progeria disease. This study applied Fairclough’s approach (1989) on critical discourse analysis incorporating with Hallyday & Matthiessen’s SFL (2004) to the analysis of transitivity and discourse practice. The study found that the storyteller frequently used relational process with 39.79%, material process with 33.16%, and mental process with 24.62%. In relational process, the storyteller bravely defined himself, his condition, his sickness, and his struggle against progeria. Through material process, he represented himself as a dynamic and active person that even his disease or physical disability could not hinder him from doing what he could do. The study also found that Sam Bern showed his success in accepting himself as a child with progeria by trying to negotiate his identity and resilience. The implication of this study suggests that storytelling can be a powerful pedagogical resource for teachers and educators to promote resilience, identity formation, and positive values among students, particularly in contexts where personal challenges and diversity need to be addressed.

Abstract

Textbooks serve an important impact in molding students' learning outcomes, especially in terms of reading comprehension and cognitive skills. Recent research on Indonesian EFL textbooks, however, indicates that comprehension tasks are frequently dominated by lower level thinking skills (LOTS), with few possibilities for higher order thinking skills (HOTS). The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which LOTS and HOTS are reflected in the reading comprehension activities of the English for Nusantara textbook. A qualitative content analysis approach was used to assess 64 reading comprehension questions from five chapters using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. The data suggest that LOTS are more prominently represented (64%), particularly at the remembering and comprehending levels, while HOTS appear to a lesser extent (36%) while analyzing and assessing activities. The generating level (C6) was missing from all chapters. Although the cognitive requirement gradually increased in later chapters, the overall distribution remained imbalanced, with LOTS dominating the majority of activities. Beyond description, these findings have practical ramifications. Teachers are encouraged to enhance their classroom practice by including HOTS-oriented activities such as debates, project-based learning, and creative writing projects to build evaluation and creation abilities. Textbook authors and curriculum developers, meanwhile, should redesign future editions to include a more balanced number of LOTS and HOTS, ensuring that comprehension exercises not only strengthen core literacy but also challenge students to think critically and creatively. By doing so, textbooks can better connect with the ideals of the Kurikulum Merdeka and the Profil Pelajar Pancasila.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between core Japanese language competencies Kanji, Bunpou (grammar), Dokkai (reading comprehension), and Choukai (listening comprehension) and success on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). This quantitative, predictive correlational research involved 60 students enrolled in Universitas Negeri Semarang Japanese language program. Based on the structural equation modelling and binary logistic regression analysis, the combined effects of Kanji, Bunpou (grammar), Dokkai (reading), and Choukai (listening) on JLPT outcomes were highly significant (χ² (4) = 42.957, p < 0.001), accounting for 73.4% of the variance (Nagelkerke R2.734). The model correctly classified 95% of cases, has an 88% accuracy for failures, and has a 98% accuracy for passes, indicating its robust predictive power. All four competencies were also significantly related to JLPT performance when considered separately (all p < 0.001). However, only Kanji (p = 0.041, odds ratio ≈ 1.69) and Bunpou (p = 0.046, odds ratio ≈ 1.77) were significantly associated with JLPT performance in the simultaneous model, as the impacts of Dokkai and Choukai were not significant. These findings imply that grammar, vocabulary and Kanji are fundamental elements for Japanese language learning, with reading and listening comprehension being heavily reliant on these skills. Therefore, because mastery of both lexical and syntactic skills appears to be a prerequisite for other abilities to meaningfully influence JLPT performance, this study recommends refining the integrative linguistic threshold concept and adopting a more comprehensive ‘Foundational-First’ pedagogical framework. It further suggests structuring weekly learning cycles to prioritize intensive lexico-syntactic automatization as the essential gateway to developing higher-order reading and listening proficiency.
