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

Academic research writing (ARW) is a complex, epistemic, and disciplinary practice fundamental to postgraduate scholarship. Despite its centrality in higher education, novice researchers (NRs) often face persistent challenges, including limited epistemological awareness, difficulties with disciplinary conventions, and inadequate pedagogical support. This study addresses these gaps by proposing a conceptual framework that integrates Swale's Create a Research Space (CARS) model with context-specific guidance to enhance ARW instruction. A narrative review methodology was employed to synthesize research on four core domains: content, context, language and structure, and cognitive ability. These constituent characteristics were mapped against common difficulties experienced by NRs and aligned with pedagogical strategies for scaffolding academic writing. The findings underscore the need for inclusive and responsive writing instruction that supports epistemic development and academic identity formation. The framework offers practical implications for writing curriculum design, mentoring, and instructional interventions. It also lays the groundwork for future empirical research to test its efficacy across varied educational contexts.

Abstract

Majority of people, nowadays, are bi/multilingual due to mobility and globalisation. Consequently, this has brought about decolonisation of some colonial practices that were employed during the colonial period.  One of the colonial practices was the use of ‘one language at the time’ in classroom settings which was grounded on the colonial ‘monolingual-bias’ notion. In South Africa, teachers seem to employ this practice regardless of the bi/multilingual classroom contexts. For example, when it is time for English lesson, they only allow the use of English only and no other language to avoid ‘contamination’. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of teachers on the use of more than one language. It further explores the use of translanguaging as a pedagogy that could be used to do away with language boundaries that were created during the colonial era.  Participants were purposively sampled language teachers at bilingual primary schools in SOWETO, Johannesburg, South Africa.  The study adopted a qualitative research design from which semi-structured interviews and observations were used. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse data.  The findings demonstrate that teachers are reluctant to allow the use of more than one language at a time in their classrooms. Their reluctance is grounded on the belief of the monolingual bias theory to avoid language ‘contamination’.  This study recommends translanguaging as a practical approach for a decolonial move where bilingual learners will be allowed to use all their linguistic repertoires for better comprehension and meaning making.

Abstract

Amidst growing concerns over early literacy challenges in rural Indonesia, this study examines the impact of interactive multimedia on improving early reading skills among first-grade students at Banaran 2 Public Elementary School, in Temanggung Regency. The research adopts a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model and employs a quasi-experimental time-series design. A purposive sampling method was used to select 21 first-grade students based on their early reading difficulties and access to computer facilities. Data collection methods included expert validation, questionnaires, interviews, observations, and reading tests. Findings indicate that the developed multimedia is highly suitable (91.67%) and practical (94.87%) for early reading instruction. Statistical analysis (p < 0.005) confirms its significant impact on students' reading abilities. These results suggest that interactive multimedia can serve as an effective tool for enhancing early literacy in elementary education, particularly in resource-limited settings. To maximize its potential, future research should explore its long-term effects and adaptation in diverse linguistic and educational contexts, providing valuable insights for curriculum development and technology integration in early childhood education.

Abstract

This research started from the problem of low learning outcomes in interpreting the vocabulary of grade IV students in the Indonesian subject. Interpreting vocabulary is very difficult for students because of the large number of vocabulary in Indonesian and the lack of use of learning media in the classroom. In addition, there is a lack of interest in learning because teachers are not able to use learning media that are in accordance with the characteristics of grade IV students. Therefore, AI-based e-pop up book media can help students interpret vocabulary. From these problems, this study aims to describe e-pop up book media, describe the results of the feasibility test of e-pop up book media, and describe the results of the effectiveness test of e-pop up book media. This research method uses R&D research with the development of the Borg and Gall model which was carried out up to stage 8 only due to time and cost limitations with a sample of 35 students. The media created is then tested by material and media experts. The results of the media feasibility test were obtained from assessments according to material experts of 95% (very feasible) and according to media experts of 92.5% (very feasible). The study found that AI-integrated e-pop up books significantly improved students' vocabulary interpreting skills, with a t-test result of 17,791 and an N-gain score of 0.7084 (high category). Based on the results of the study, it shows that the use of artificial intelligence-based e-pop up book media is very effective in improving learning outcomes in interpreting elementary school grade IV vocabulary.

Abstract

The aim of the current research was to explore how the lecturer uses neurolinguistic programming (NPL) to maximize the students' potential when creating thesis proposals. This study poses two research questions: 1) What challenges do students have when writing their thesis proposals? and 2) How may NLP communication help students write their thesis proposals. A case study design that was employed in this study. Open-ended questionnaire was distributed to the students of English education department. The results of this study firstly highlight that the students’ difficulties in writing involved their lack of knowledge, psychological aspect and both of them. ability in writing skills, understanding contents, motivation. Another finding showed that the NLP communication in the form of teachers’ affirmations can bring the positive influence on the student’s perspectives and attitudes to write their proposal.  This study concludes that teachers can establish a more encouraging and productive learning environment by using ideas from positive psychology and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).

Abstract

This study investigates how English teachers integrate Generative AI ChatGPT, Diffit, and Brisk into their instructional practices, focusing on their strategies, challenges and pedagogical adaptations. These tools were selected based on their distinctive functionalities: ChatGPT for content generation, Diffit for text simplification, and Brisk for creating multimedia presentations and teaching aids. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, data were collected from twelve primary and junior high school ELT teachers, setting through reflective journals, focus group discussions, and document analysis. The findings of this study showed that although GAI offered strengths such as fostering creativity, enhancing accessibility, and engaging students, the tools also have some limitations in terms of content inaccuracy, oversimplification, and lack of contextual adaptability. Therefore, teacher intervention is required in its implementation. In this study, teachers used reflection-in-action to make real-time adjustments, reflection-on-action to refine the integration strategies, and collaborative reflection to exchange best practices. Additionally, findings highlight teacher agency importance in leveraging AI for lesson planning and differentiated instruction. It further highlights the need for professional development in AI literacy to equip educators with skills to evaluate and adapt AI-generated content critically. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI in Education, demonstrating how generative AI can function as a teaching aid rather than a replacement for pedagogical experts.

Abstract

One of the most difficult skills in English is writing, especially for university students who have to master academic writing because they have final project in writing undergraduate thesis. The students face many difficulties in writing undergraduate thesis because they need to learn how to communicate the argument rationally and provide evidence in intellectual perspective to present the arguments in a logical order. In order to solve their writing problems, students can apply writing strategies. Therefore, this study is about writing strategies used by EFL students in undergraduate thesis writing process at English Education study program. This study’s objectives are to find out the kinds of writing strategies, and the dominant writing strategy applied by EFL students in writing undergraduate thesis. This research employed descriptive qualitative procedure with case study design. The subjects of the study were eleven EFL students of 2019 class at UNIROW. The data were taken from the questionnaire and interview. Then, the data were analyzed qualitatively through data reduction by identifying, grouping and coding, data display, describing, interpreting, and conclusion drawing. The result showed that the students applied 8 strategies in before writing, 14 strategies in during writing, and 16 strategies in after writing. The dominant strategy applied was during writing with the average score of 3.68, which can be categorized as high frequency, followed by before writing (3.54), and after writing (3.23). In conclusion, writing strategies are essential in assisting students during writing undergraduate thesis to produce better academic writing.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive systematic review of the integration of five major social networking sites (SNSs)—Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok—within secondary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. Using the Harzing Publish or Perish software, over 1,500 journal articles published between 2018 and 2023 were screened, with 87 meeting the inclusion criteria for in-depth analysis. The findings reveal a growing research interest in this area, with an average effect size of 1.792, indicating a significant impact. YouTube emerged as the most frequently examined platform, featured in 36 studies, while the SNSs overall were applied in diverse ways, including as media resources, learning management systems (LMS), discussion forums, and platforms for content creation. Results suggest that SNS integration can enhance learner engagement, promote student-centered and blended learning, and foster both language proficiency and digital literacy through interactive and creative practices. Future research should investigate the comparative effectiveness of different platforms, assess their long-term contributions to EFL education, and consider emerging trends such as GenAI-based applications.

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.
