Abstract

The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme is a longstanding and influential government initiative employing thousands of immigrant teachers throughout Japan. The JET instructional delivery model is characterized by periodic classroom visits from largely untrained English native-speaking teachers who serve as classroom assistants with the licensed teacher – typically a Japanese individual – being in charge. This model was adopted to promote international contact and authentic language exposure with the JET teacher being especially responsible for teaching oral communication. This study focused on empirically examining their pronunciation teaching since there has been little assessment of how the JET instructional delivery model addresses this important dimension of oral communication. To do so, 4879 teaching activities created by JET participants were analyzed in terms of how they addressed critical aspects of pronunciation teaching. Results indicated important shortcomings, including little integration of pronunciation into the curriculum, weak links between listening to notice phonological features and subsequent learner production, poor coverage of the various dimensions of phonology, a lack of attention to assessing learners’ pronunciation needs, and inaccurate presentation of phonology especially through English transcribed into the Japanese katakana writing system. The findings suggest shortcomings inherent in the JET-style instructional delivery model, especially attributable to its recruitment of untrained NS teachers, their sporadic appearance in particular classrooms, and their responsibilities in creating and teaching oral communication lessons. This project is thus important not only within Japan, but also in other contexts where the JET-style model has been embraced as a vehicle for seeking to match native-speaker language skills to student needs.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the construction of English teacher identity within the multilingual and religiously oriented environment of Indonesian pesantren through a narrative inquiry approach. Applying narrative inquiry, the study examined how teachers negotiate their religious and professional identities while balancing multiple language ideologies embodied in this educational context. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and reflective journals, providing rich narratives of teachers' experiences, challenges, and strategies in navigating their roles. Three key themes emerged: balancing language ideologies, the interplay between religious and professional identities, and multilingual practices in the classroom. The findings reveal the dynamic, context-responsive nature of teacher identity development within pesantren, highlighting how educators align religious values with pedagogical goals. This study addresses a critical gap by focusing on identity formation in faith-based multilingual education settings, offering new insights beyond secular or formal institutions. The implications contribute to broader discussions on teacher identity, multilingual education, and the intersection of language, religion, and teaching practices.

Abstract

The Pasuruan City Government, rich in historical and cultural heritage, aims to integrate local wisdom into spatial planning through Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2021 (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Daerah or RPJMD 2021-2026) and Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2022 (Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah or RTRW 2021-2041). However, these policies often prioritize colonial heritage over local traditional culture. This study uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the formulation, implementation, and community impact of these policies. CDA reveals the power dynamics, ideologies, and specific interests within policy discourse. The research analyzes the government's policy direction and sensitivity towards local wisdom, focusing on the discourse content and structure in the RPJMD and RTRW documents, as well as their intertextuality. Findings indicate a greater emphasis on preserving colonial-era buildings rather than local traditional culture. Recommendations include developing inclusive policies that balance physical infrastructure development with the preservation and promotion of local culture.

Abstract

This study examines the differences and similarities in prepositional patterns between Batak Toba and English languages through a contrastive analysis of narrative texts. The phenomenon in focus is the variation in preposition usage between these two languages, which often poses difficulties for native Batak Toba speakers learning English. The objective of this research is to identify and compare prepositional patterns in both languages and analyzes their implications for English language learning among Batak Toba speakers. The method employed is a qualitative contrastive analysis with a descriptive approach. Data was obtained from three pairs of equivalent narrative texts in English and Batak Toba. The results reveal significant differences in the use of spatial and temporal prepositions, as well as some similarities in prepositions indicating abstract relationships. The main difference lies in the greater number and variety of prepositions in English, while Batak Toba tends to use simpler and more limited prepositions. The implications of this research provide valuable insights for developing effective English language learning strategies for Batak Toba speakers, considering positive and negative transfer between the two languages.

Abstract

This autoethnographic study explores my personal journey of learning English, framed through the lens of sociocultural theory. By reflecting on key stages of my life, from early childhood exposure and formal schooling to informal learning through media and peer interaction, the research describes how language development is not a linear or purely academic process, but one shaped by social relationships, cultural environments, and evolving identity. Drawing on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and related scholarship, the narrative traces how various mediators, including family, teachers, technology, and community have influenced my motivation, confidence, and sense of belonging in English-speaking contexts. The findings reveal that language learning is deeply intertwined with identity negotiation and cultural integration, culminating in a sense of ownership over the English language. This study contributes to the field by emphasizing the emotional, reflective, and personal dimensions of language acquisition, which are often overlooked in traditional second language research. It suggests that incorporating learners’ lived experiences, informal learning practices, and identity development into language education can foster more inclusive and meaningful pedagogies. The research also opens pathways for further studies using narrative and qualitative approaches to better understand the complex, socioculturally embedded nature of language learning.
