Abstract

Reading instruction plays a fundamental role in shaping students' academic success, particularly in culturally diverse contexts. In Islamic educational institutions, there is a critical need for materials that resonate with students' cultural and religious backgrounds. This study aimed to develop a culturally responsive reading instructional module tailored to the specific needs of first-grade students at an Islamic Junior High School in Mataram, Indonesia. Grounded in constructivist learning theory, which emphasizes the importance of contextual relevance in education, the study integrates Islamic cultural and religious themes to foster student engagement and improve reading comprehension. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, involving surveys, interviews, and pre- and post-assessments. The study included 60 first-grade students and their teachers. The results demonstrated significant improvements in students’ reading comprehension and engagement. The mean test scores increased notably, and students expressed higher levels of enjoyment with the culturally aligned materials. These findings underscore the importance of integrating cultural and religious content into instructional materials, creating more inclusive and effective educational experiences. The study offers practical insights for educators in similar settings, highlighting the potential of culturally responsive pedagogy to bridge the gap between students' home and school environments, while also fostering a deeper appreciation of their cultural heritage. This contribution provides valuable guidance for the future development of culturally tailored educational strategies in Islamic contexts.

Abstract

Nowadays promoting autonomous learning has become an important aspect of education. This study aimed to investigate the roles of the teachers in promoting autonomous English language learning at Addis Ababa Science and Technology University. Its emphasis was on the roles of facilitator, guide/mentor, and inspirator/supporter and to what extent supporting environment helping to promote autonomous language learning are available and are used effectively. A survey questionnaire was distributed to 313 freshmen engineering students at Addis Ababa Science and Technology University where 24 students participated in FGD. Furthermore, an interview was conducted with four teachers to obtain supplementary data and for triangulation. The quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS and the qualitative data obtained from FGD and interview was analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that teachers were involved in very limited practices that promote autonomous language learning and used available supporting facilities ineffectively. As facilitators, teachers did not offer necessary assistance on learning plans and objectives and in evaluating their own learning and progress. As a guide/mentor, teachers’ assistance in providing alternative learning strategies and references was bound to the module and course outline.  As an inspirator/supporter of autonomous learning teachers were weak on being positive and supportive when giving feedback, encouraging students to keep a written record of their learning, and acknowledging different ways students follow to attain their goal and their own learning styles. Hence offering teachers professional development programs on how to promote autonomous language learning will help develop learner autonomy.

Abstract

In producing competent college graduates in the 21st century, two skills must be taught to students: writing and metacognitive skills. This research explores the impact of the task-based teaching-learning method on Sharia banking students' writing and metacognitive abilities at a state university in Banten Province, Indonesia. This research used a pretest-posttest experimental design involving 60 students. Data collection in the research used essay writing tests, essay writing assessment rubrics, and metacognitive skills questionnaires. Next, the data was analyzed using a quantitative approach by running the SPSS 20.00 program with paired sample t-test and one-way ANCOVA. The research results show that the TBLT model can improve students' writing performance and metacognition skills. This means that there has been a significant change in the average score in writing ability [t = -16.871, p < .000] and writing metacognitive awareness score [t = -17.197, p < .000] in the experimental group that received treatment with the task model. -based language teaching (TBLT). This study recommends that the TBLT method can be used as an alternative for teachers to simultaneously improve writing abilities and metacognition skills. In addition, this study emphasizes the importance of using comprehensive learning methods to develop both skills.

Abstract

Translanguaging has been recognized to help students learn a second language, yet many lecturers still see it as a problem rather than a useful educational tool. This study looks at the impact of translanguaging approaches on the confidence of Indonesian vocational college students in using English, with a focus mainly on the students' perspectives. The research used a qualitative case study to observe a class of 30 students (13 male and 17 female) in an English for Vocational Purposes (EVP) course. Four students, two females and two males were purposefully chosen for semi-structured interviews to get deeper perspectives. Data from these observations and interviews were evaluated thematically to better understand how translanguaging improves communication, strengthens teacher-student relationships, and assists in the processing of instructional materials. The findings indicate that students hold a positive attitude toward translanguaging pedagogies, citing benefits such as improved knowledge development, enhanced vocabulary acquisition, stronger relationships with lecturers, and increased Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English. The study emphasizes that translanguaging facilitates English language learning and acknowledges and embraces the linguistic diversity of Indonesian classrooms. This research provides important information for policymakers, educators, and researchers on how utilizing translanguaging in EFL teaching approaches can be essential in creating a more inclusive and effective learning atmosphere, especially in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Transnational families in Indonesia currently still have many difficulties in developing and creating an ideology of language use that they implement in their families, with a variety of languages to maintain their family's ethnic identity. This research explores three research questions, as follows. (1) How did parents perceive the roles of various languages in shaping their children's future? (2) What languages were used in the family? This research finds the choice of language use within the context of Indonesian transnational families with different ethnic backgrounds. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design (Yin, 2014), this study employs 2 participants, a woman, and her mother, both of them are scholarship awardees, who negotiate language ideologies, practices, and policies within their families among linguistic diversity and transnational mobility. Through thematic analysis (Saldana, 2012) of data collection from semi-structured interviews and observation, revealed several initial, open, and axial codes. This finding of this research reveals 1). The differences ideology between two generation. 2). The family's efforts to balance maintaining English and Bahasa Indonesia language. The implication of this study is made for the language policy maker and other transnational parent.  In conclusion, this study highlights the complexities of language use in transnational families and demonstrates that these families face challenges and opportunities in creating an environment that supports language learning.

Abstract

As generative language models like ChatGPT and Google Gemini gain prominence in education, their efficacy in specific contexts, such as Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, still needs to be explored. This study investigates the pedagogical affordances and constraints of these models as perceived by Indonesian EFL sophomores, aiming to understand their contribution to active learning in language acquisition. Using a qualitative approach, we conducted open-ended questionnaires with 40 sophomore students from an Indonesian university's English department. Thematic content analysis was employed to analyse the data. Findings reveal that ChatGPT offers authentic conversational simulations and versatile content-based instruction, while Google Gemini's strength lies in its multilingual capabilities. However, limitations such as linguistic complexity and rigid conversational structures were also identified. The study suggests these models can enhance active learning experiences, particularly in conversational practice and interdisciplinary content exploration, though their efficacy depends on factors like learner proficiency and internet access. We conclude that integrating these models into EFL instruction requires careful consideration of their affordances and limitations. This study contributes culturally-specific insights to AI in education research, with implications for curriculum designers, educators, and policymakers in developing countries, emphasising the need for adaptive and inclusive approaches in AI-enhanced EFL education.

Abstract

The current existence of AI is unstoppable. Many parties consider AI to be a serious threat to the world of education, including universities. The use of AI by students in doing tasks often causes anxiety among lecturers. There is concern that AI reduces students’ creativity in exploring their own ideas in making essays or designing learning materials (worksheets). One of the courses that require students to explore their creativity is ESP Material Development. In this course, students are required to learn to develop teaching materials in the form of worksheets in accordance with the needs analysis results identified in the ESP Program Design course. This research is designed to find out students' tendencies in using AI for developing ESP worksheet, while also finding out whether they think that AI chatbot is really useful for them so that they can yield an ESP worksheet whose activities are in accordance with the learning objectives and having an attractive and professional appearance in the same time. The methods used were questionnaires for and FGD with 40 ESP Material Development class students. It was found that most students tried to use AI chatbot for getting inspiration whenever they get stuck in finding more ideas for their worksheets. Most students admitted that AI helped them in that situation. However, they did not recommend the use of AI from the very beginning of developing worksheets. They confessed that using AI would cause confusion and reduce creativity when it is used since very beginning.

Abstract

When it comes to efficiently developing and implementing a language program, doing a needs analysis is necessary. Thus, to fulfill students' English language demands in the International Class Program (ICP) of the Biology Department at Universitas Negeri Makassar, it is important to ascertain the learning requirements of students. This study aimed to find out students’ expectations about English learning materials, and to assess their efforts to achieve it. This study employed a mixed-method approach to assess the needs of the students, integrating both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The research included a total of 34 participants, comprising 31 second-year students enrolled in ICP of the Biology Department, 1 English lecturer, and 2 alums of the same program. The questionnaire and the interview were the instruments used to gather information. The study's results showed that students need English learning materials that are related to what they are studying. To improve their English, it was very important for the students to have access to the right English materials. Researchers looked at the learning needs of the students and found that they all had different levels of English ability. The students thought that reading and speaking were the most important skills to learn in order to be fluent in English. The most common problem the students had was incorrect grammar use. The students who took part in the ICP had different ways of learning, as shown by the analysis of goal needs. Some of these ways were reading English-language books and watching videos or movies. The most important ones were to improve their self-esteem and get ready for future job prospects. Reading English-language books, watching movies, and listening to music were the main things that students did to improve their English language skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of teaching strategies to improve reading comprehension among eighth-grade students in Indonesian junior high schools, where English is treated as a foreign language. Limited exposure and practice outside the classroom contribute to underwhelming reading proficiency. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach involving two English teachers and eighth-grade students. Data collection methods include observations, interviews, and documentation, while analysis is conducted using Miles and Hubberman’s interactive model. Findings reveal that teachers employ two primary strategies for teaching descriptive text comprehension: Think Aloud and Question Answer Relationships (QARs). The Think Aloud strategy involves guiding students to set reading purposes and make predictions during the pre-reading stage. During reading, students identify key information, resolve unfamiliar vocabulary, and make connections across texts. Post-reading activities include summarizing, evaluating comprehension through performance, and formative assessments. QARs strategy focuses on building background knowledge before reading. Teachers introduce four types of questions – Right There, Think and Search, Author and Me, and On My Own – to guide text interpretation during reading. Reflection and comprehension tests, such as worksheets, are conducted post-reading to assess learning outcomes. The study highlights the effectiveness of interactive and structured approaches in fostering deeper engagement and improving students’ reading comprehension abilities. These strategies offer practical insights for educators seeking to enhance reading proficiency through targeted interventions.

Abstract

Translanguaging, a practice that recognises and utilizes  multilingual students’ linguistic repertoires has emerged as a crucial approach in challenging traditional language policies, particularly in the South African educational landscape.Despite its embrace, a colonial stance still persists in teaching practices. Through a critical analysis of teaching materials used in an academic literacy course, this paper explores how translanguaging is currently being used in teaching and learning. Findings reveal a tension in the sense that even though students’ language practices are acknowledged, the materials still maintain a dominant position for English. This highlights the need to move beyond a simplistic view of multilingualism towards a more holistic embrace of translanguaging.Set against this background, this research argues that translanguaging can bridge the abyssal divide created by colonialism. It emphasizes the unifying potential of translanguaging, fostering an educational landscape that celebrates South Africa's rich linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. Ultimately, the study calls upon educators to move beyond the limitations of standardized languages and fully embrace translanguaging as a transformative force for decolonization.At the end, the paper calls for further research.
