Abstract

Writing is one of the most challenging skills for junior high school students, who often face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing them into coherent paragraphs, and applying correct grammar and vocabulary. Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) offers an alternative approach by linking classroom instruction with students’ real-life experiences, thus creating more meaningful and engaging learning activities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of CTL in teaching English writing, to identify the challenges encountered, and to explore the strategies used to overcome them. The research was conducted at SMPN SATAP 2 Aikmel with 15 seventh-grade students, consisting of 8 females and 7 males, who were selected through purposive sampling. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, with data collected through classroom observation, interviews, and documentation of students’ writing products. The findings indicate that the teacher applied CTL principles such as constructivism, inquiry, modeling, collaboration, reflection, and authentic assessment in teaching recount and descriptive texts. Students responded positively, showing greater motivation and confidence when writing tasks were connected to their personal experiences. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammar weaknesses, and time constraints still emerged. To address these, the teacher implemented scaffolding, modeling, peer collaboration, and authentic tasks, which helped students improve both writing skills and motivation. Overall, the study confirms that CTL is an effective framework for enhancing students’ writing ability and engagement in English learning.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the use of English songs, particularly within the RB soul pop genre, in improving their speaking ability. The research focuses on five key aspects of speaking: pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension of meaning, and psychological readiness to speak. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed, involving 59 sixth-semester students of the English Language Education Study Program at Sriwijaya University who had experience learning through songs. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and song-based assessments, including lyric completion, reading aloud, and question-and-answer activities related to the song's content. The findings revealed that most students held positive perceptions toward the use of English songs as a medium for speaking practice. Many reported improvements in pronunciation, vocabulary mastery, and fluency, while also highlighting reduced anxiety and increased motivation. However, some challenges were identified, such as difficulty in understanding fast-paced lyrics, unfamiliar accents, and cultural expressions. Overall, English songs proved to be an effective, interactive, and enjoyable learning tool for enhancing students’ speaking performance, provided they are supported by appropriate teaching strategies and sufficient instructional guidance.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of AI ChatGPT in enhancing writing skills among Indonesian EFL learners at MA NWDI Tembeng Putik. A qualitative case study was conducted with 30 senior high school students using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that students benefited from ChatGPT in three main areas: improving grammar accuracy, strengthening coherence in essay organization, and supporting autonomous revision. Many students also reported that ChatGPT provided useful prompts when they faced difficulties generating ideas, although its impact on writing confidence was more limited. These results suggest that ChatGPT can serve as a valuable supplementary tool for EFL writing instruction, particularly in resource-limited classrooms. However, the study emphasizes the need for teacher guidance to ensure that AI use fosters critical thinking and responsible learning practices.

Abstract

This study developed an innovative learning model that integrates Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Extended Reality (XR), and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) for pre-service teachers in the Cultural Arts PPG program. Employing the ADDIE framework, the research focused on the Analysis, Design, and Development phases. Twenty-four PPG students participated in the pilot phase. Findings revealed a lack of immersive learning media to support empathy, reflection, and emotion regulation in teaching practice. The designed model integrated XR-based simulations and PjBL to foster interactive and reflective learning. A Virtual Lab prototype was created featuring scenario-based SEL tasks and collaborative art projects. Expert reviews and alpha testing demonstrated increased student engagement, improved emotional awareness, and readiness to apply SEL principles in real classroom contexts. This model contributes to equipping future educators with adaptive, empathetic professional identities and highlights the potential of technology-enhanced pedagogies in teacher education.

Abstract

Independence is an important aspect in the development of students, especially in Islamic boarding schools that demand self-adjustment in a new environment. However, many students have difficulty adapting due to a lack of independence. This study uses a quantitative approach with a Quasi Experimental design of the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample amounted to 18 students divided into the experimental group (n=9) and the control group (n=9). The research instruments are in the form of self-adjustment scales, sociometry, and counseling modules. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test with the help of SPSS version 16.0. The average posttest score of the experimental group increased significantly from 51.18 to 67.86, while the control group only increased from 51.15 to 51.28. The Mann-Whitney test showed significant differences between the two groups (U=0.000; p0.05). These findings show that peer group counseling based on pesantren is effective in increasing student independence. This service is relevant to the cultural context of the pesantren because it involves peers as counselors, so that it is more in line with the needs of students. Peer group counseling has proven to be effective in increasing the independence of students at the Darqis Lebaksiu Islamic Boarding School.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency is essential for academic and social development of EFL students. However, numerous students often struggle with limited vocabulary, grammatical deficiencies, and a lack of confidence which contribute to their speaking performance. Therefore, this study exposes the effectiveness of Information Gap Activities (IGA) to elevate students’ speaking skills – specifically in fluency and comprehensibility – of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Sigi. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental class received IGA treatment and a control class taught by using conventional methods, with a total of 60 student participants. Both groups were given pre-tests and post-tests to measure their speaking ability before and after the treatment. Pre-test and post-test data were analyzed using SPSS. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group, with the mean score increasing from 41.67 to 67.50, compared to the control group’s increase from 41.67 to 50.56. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test (p = 0.000) and Mann-Whitney U Test (p = 0.000) confirmed this difference to be statistically significant. These findings suggest that Information Gap Activities can effectively enhance students’ speaking abilities, offering a communicative and interactive alternative to traditional instructional approaches.
