Abstract

In the fall of 2024, the People’s Education Press (PEP) of China published the latest edition of its English as a foreign language (EFL) textbook for the first semester of seventh grade. This study conducted a content analysis of the EFL textbook for the first semester of seventh grade from the perspective of values. After content analysis, the researchers concluded that this EFL textbook includes two dimensions and five themes at the value level. Personal values include morality and identity, and social values include patriotism, collectivism, and cultural concepts. This study used critical discourse analysis to interpret the themes of content analysis. The researchers argued that patriotism, collectivism, Chinese culture, and the current state of education all influenced this EFL textbook. The researchers suggested that this EFL textbook should be further revised to be more diverse, inclusive, and critical. In addition, the researchers attached importance to the analysis of this EFL textbook from a global context perspective and suggested that global citizenship education should be included. This study provides corresponding suggestions for the compilation of EFL textbooks by PEP and education policymakers in China.

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

Although the notion of establishing global education has existed since the early 21st Century, the majority of current EFL textbooks neglect global issues as teaching content. However, existing studies on the implementation of the current Emancipated Curriculum have yet to incorporate authentic materials related to these topics, which remain significantly underexplored. In such a manner, this study introduced a supplementary reading material integrated with zoonoses topic as a part of global health issues nowadays. Utilizing a mixed-method approach to accomplish an ADDIE model, the study presents clear DBR stages. Various instruments, such as questionnaires, interviews, tests, and digital artifacts, were used. Half of the student population was obtained as samples (N=63), and an English teacher participated in this study. The major findings underscore the significant difference in the experiment group students’ reading skills based on t-value (7.011) > α (0.05). To a certain extent, user responses (88%) and module evaluation (95%) toward the product were considered very worthy or eligible to be employed for teaching reading in English classrooms. Apart from the empirical evidence, the study offers practical insights for English teachers in similar areas, highlighting the potential of proposing global issue topics to bridge the students' knowledge, skills, and awareness of real-world situations. Shortly, this will contribute valuable direction for the future development of English teaching materials.

Abstract

This study investigates the incorporation of cultural information in English teaching materials utilised in high schools in Indonesia and the Philippines. This research utilises a qualitative content analysis methodology to assess two textbooks: Bahasa Inggris English for Change (Indonesia) and Oral Communication in Context for Senior High School (Philippines). The analysis employs Cortazzi and Jin’s cultural content categories (source, target, international culture) alongside Adaskou, Britten, and Fahsi's four dimensions of culture (aesthetic, sociological, semantic, pragmatic). The findings indicate a common focus on local (source) culture, substantial representation of English- speaking nations (target culture), and initiatives to incorporate worldwide viewpoints. Nevertheless, there are notable differences in the methodologies and thematic emphasis that reflect specific sociocultural situations. The study emphasises the significance of culturally responsive pedagogy and provides recommendations for curriculum developers to enhance intercultural competency in English language instruction.

Abstract

English language teaching in Thailand faces persistent challenges, including barriers related to teacher competence, insufficient English fluency, and a lack of effective teaching methods and strategies. Socio-individual and cultural factors, such as low self-esteem, also reduce students’ motivation in speaking practice. This study explores how the Soft-power strategy can address these issues by emphasizing active participation, collaborative learning, and experiential techniques like group discussions and real-life conversations that foster a supportive classroom environment. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved 15 fourth-grade students over three months. Data were collected through classroom observations and questionnaires. The findings show that Soft-power strategies significantly enhanced student engagement. For instance, more than 86% of participants strongly agreed that the strategy helped them build confidence in speaking English, while over 66% reported enjoying and feeling comfortable during the activities. The analysis also revealed reduced student anxiety and more positive peer interactions. The results suggest that Soft-power strategies offer a promising alternative to traditional methods by fostering a supportive learning environment for long-term language development. These findings offer valuable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to transform English instruction in non-native, multilingual settings.

Abstract

In the context of teacher professionalism, the ability to effectively integrate technology into teaching practices is now part of the basic competencies that must be possessed. One of the conceptual frameworks that are widely used to measure and assess this competency is Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK). Therefore, this study aims to (1) describe how in-service English teachers integrate technology into their EFL teaching, and (2) explain the perceptions of these teachers regarding their TPACK competency. The research is a mixed-method study that combines quantitative and qualitative data collection using observation and questionnaires. Thirty teachers consisting 11 male and 19 female involved in this study.  The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analyses, while the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis by presenting themes and codes.  The finding of the study shows that in-service English teachers have "good" competence of TPACK as shown in the mean of the questionnaire result is 3.94 which belongs to the good category. Among 7 TPACK categories, TPK is the highest with the mean 4.14, on the other hand, PCK is the lowest with a mean 2.94. There are 16 types of ICT integrated in their lesson. PPT, blog, Pinterest, and YouTube are mostly used their English lesson with 100% on the other hand, Link Tree and Elsa Speak is the lowest used. Overall, these findings underscore the importance of further training that focuses not only on the use of technology, but also on how it can be effectively linked to content and pedagogical approaches in the context of English language learning.

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

Taiwan’s ministry of education urges all education levels to open foreign language programs, including Indonesian language, in their institution. Yet, this encouragement is not followed by adequate propaganda. Hence, innovative engagement strategies are needed to make Indonesian language elective courses popular in Taiwan.  Thus, an Indonesian native speaker teacher of a northern Taiwan public university integrated Instagram in her elective course to enhance engagement. She assigned her students to make a video blog with the theme “self-introduction” and upload the video to their social media. This media is used due to its significant impact on everyday life. This study probes social media's impact on video blogging projects and how learners with different mastery goal levels identified their engagement and satisfaction after finishing the project. Fourteen students participated in this study, and the data were gathered through in-depth interviews and self-reported online journals. The interview and online guided journal generated students' self-monitoring, behavioral engagement, and satisfaction. Screenshots from the student's post on Instagram and social media chat also served as evidence to support the findings. The result shows the significant influence of social media on learners' effort and creativity in doing the assignment; it also influences the satisfaction regarding the participants' mastery approach. Students poured their endeavors exceeding the teacher’s expectation. To ensure the quality of the video content, they did a lot of self-practices and consultations with their teacher. The result leads to the pedagogical implications of integrating video blogging and social media within authentic learning environments for enhanced student engagement.

Abstract

This research investigates language centres within Indonesia’s higher education institutions, aiming to examine their forms, functions, and the challenges they face. Drawing on responses from 109 participants across 14 universities, the study highlights the legal basis of their establishment, with most centres relying on rector-issued regulations. The management structure emphasizes the central role of the Head of Language Centre, responsible for both administrative coordination and academic leadership. Findings reveal a broad range of language services, with Indonesian and English as core languages, supported by various regional and international languages. Educational functions feature prominently, including language training and certification. Language centres also contribute to research by managing language-related data and serve as key hubs for community service, extending their impact beyond the university setting. However, several challenges persist, including limited infrastructure and funding, repetitive programming, and human resource limitations. Future research should expand institutional coverage, apply diverse methodologies, and examine the influence of technological developments. To strengthen the strategic role of language centres, policymakers are encouraged to implement a standardized classification and accreditation system based on their varied forms and functions. Such a framework would promote quality assurance, institutional accountability, and allow universities to leverage accredited centres for academic advancement and eligibility for government-existing research grant schemes.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic forced an unprecedented global shift to online education, compelling teachers to rapidly adapt their pedagogical practices. The This study investigates how the COVID-19 teaching experiences transformed English medium school teachers in Dhaka, following the curricula of Cambridge and Edexcel. The study focuses on the challenges, the development of confidence in online teaching tools, and the reshaping of their professional roles and pedagogical approaches. This qualitative research methodology, using teacher narratives, presents the experiences of seven teachers from renowned English medium schools who have shifted to online teaching. The results indicate that teachers encountered considerable obstacles at the outset, such as technological difficulties, insufficient training, and the need to adjust to the dynamics of online classrooms. Nevertheless, as time progressed, their self-assurance increased due to autonomous learning and collaboration with colleagues, resulting in improved digital competence. Additionally, the pandemic transformed their professional roles, fostering a transition from conventional, instructor-focused methodologies to more adaptable, learner-centered strategies. The research emphasizes the need for constant professional development in both technological and emotional aspects of pedagogy. Assuming that the pandemic provided a strong impetus toward lasting changes in teaching methods and teachers' responsibilities, it conforms to new educational trends. This research enhances the understanding of connections between crisis-induced instructional adjustments and their lasting consequences for the teachers' professional development.
