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 study employed Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, focusing on the discursive construction of child molestation using the transitivity process. The research aimed to (1) describe transitivity patterns in child molestation news articles published by The Jakarta Post, (2) examine how these patterns constructed the discourse, and (3) explore why such construction occurred. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyze clauses from five selected news texts. The study found that the most dominant transitivity processes were verbal and material. Verbal processes appeared 57 times (43.8%), while material processes occurred 48 times (36.9%), showing only a 6.9% difference. Verbal process verbs included reported, told, accused, said, and announced, while material process verbs included molested, abused, and arrested. These findings indicate that the news writers constructed the narratives based on information from police, witnesses, and victims to outline the chronology of the molestation incidents. The reports often portrayed children as the affected participants, with perpetrators positioned as the main actors responsible for the events. Through analyzing these transitivity patterns, the researcher identified how socio-cultural ideologies were embedded in the discourse. The texts implied that minors are perceived as vulnerable and lacking full legal protection. Moreover, the narratives challenged the common perception that women are always the victims of sexual abuse, showing that children of both genders could be victims. The perpetrators were often figures with authority in schools and the psychological impact on the victims was highlighted throughout the texts.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of urban contact varieties (UCVs) on the teaching of Setswana Home Language (HL) in Grade 10, focusing on the interference of UCVs and strategies to enhance. The study was conducted at two high schools where four participants were selected two Setswana educators from each school. The study employed a qualitative method. In this regard, four Setswana educators were interviewed.The qualitative approach aimed to expand and strengthen data collection. This article examines the potential effects of urban contact varieties (UCVs) on teaching Grade 10 learners at the two selected high schools in Winterveldt speaking and writing Setswana. The motivation for the research arose because of the observations made during the researcher`s years of study in one of the high schools and as one of the residents of Winterveldt. These observations suggest that teachers use UCVs to communicate at home and at school instead of the standard Setswana. As a result, many learners tend to perform poorly in Setswana Home Language (HL) and fail when they do not attain the required marks in their exams, mainly because they fail their home language subject because they are taught in UCVs.

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

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

Differentiated instruction is a critical educational strategy for addressing the diverse needs of students in mixed-ability classrooms. However, its consistent application remains a challenge due to teachers' comprehension of differentiated instruction, which led to various challenges in DI-based practice. This paper aims to delve deep into English language teachers' practices of differentiated instruction in mixed-ability classrooms using qualitative research design to reveal instructional approaches and learning enhancements in promoting inclusivity and diversity with emphasis on in-depth interviews in gathering data to document four Nepali teachers’ narratives of their DI practices and the problems they face in implementing it in Rupandehi, Nepal public secondary school classrooms. The study reveals three themes, namely: the promotion of a student-centered approach, personalized learning, and classroom diversity and collaboration. It was found that differentiated instruction enhances students’ classroom engagement and fosters inclusion by promoting personalized instruction, collaboration, and diversity. Constraints in DI practice include large class sizes, and issues of teacher training and support, which suggest that teacher education programmes should highlight differentiated instruction as a key pedagogic component of the curriculum to better equip future teachers with strategies to achieve the needs and interests of students with mixed-abilities.

Abstract

Cross-cultural understanding (CCU) is increasingly recognized as a crucial element in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL), as it not only enhances linguistic proficiency but also equips learners with the ability to navigate cultural nuances and social contexts. In response to this need, the current study developed instructional materials that integrate local cultural elements into CCU courses, aiming to improve EFL learners' communicative competences. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study followed three stages: define, design, and develop. The resulting product was a prototype of instructional materials tailored to teach CCU effectively. The materials underwent rigorous quality assessments through expert validation and field testing in English classes. The findings revealed that the instructional materials are valid and appropriate for teaching CCU, demonstrating a significant positive impact on learners’ communicative competences. Specifically, the integration of local cultural contexts fostered a deeper understanding of both target language use and cross-cultural interaction, bridging gaps between learners' cultural frameworks and English-communication contexts. The implication of this study underscores the importance of incorporating local cultural elements in CCU courses, highlighting that such integration not only contextualizes language learning but also enhances learners’ engagement and adaptability in real-world communication. By promoting culturally responsive teaching, these materials provide a model for developing context-sensitive EFL curricula that address global communication demands while preserving local cultural identity.

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

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.
