Abstract

Inclusive education seeks to ensure equal learning opportunities for all students, including those with special needs, yet teaching English in inclusive classrooms presents specific pedagogical challenges. This study investigates the supporting and inhibiting factors in English teaching at SD N 2 Bengkala, North Bali, a school that integrates students with hearing impairments into regular classrooms. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with the English teacher. The findings indicate that effective English instruction in this inclusive setting is supported by teacher adaptability, the use of visual media and concrete learning materials, assistance from special needs support teachers, peer support from regular students, and a positive classroom climate. However, several challenges persist, including communication barriers with deaf students, differences in learning abilities, emotional fluctuations, and environmental distractions. More complex English skills, such as listening, speaking, and writing, were found to be more difficult to teach than vocabulary. Overall, the study underscores the importance of adaptive teaching strategies and collaborative support in addressing learner diversity, while also highlighting ongoing challenges that require continuous adjustment to achieve inclusive English learning.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate whether students’ cumulative Grade Point Average can serve as a predictor of their English proficiency as measured by an institutional English test. The research addresses the broader question of how general academic achievement relates to language competence in higher education settings. Employing a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 115 undergraduate students who had both an officially recorded Grade Point Average and an institutional English proficiency score. Pearson’s product–moment correlation and simple linear regression analyses were used to examine the relationship and predictive strength between the two variables. The findings reveal a moderate and positive correlation (r = 0.55, p < 0.001), indicating that students with higher academic performance tend to achieve better results on the English proficiency test. The regression model was significant, explaining 30.3 percent of the variance in English scores (F= 49.03, p < 0.001). The resulting equation confirms that general academic achievement is a meaningful predictor of language performance. These results highlight the potential use of Grade Point Average as one indicator of readiness for English proficiency benchmarks in higher education. The study also suggests that other factors, such as language exposure, motivation, and learning strategies, may contribute to unexplained variance and should be explored in future research.

Abstract

Despite growing attention to inclusive education, there is still limited empirical research on the development and validation of interactive multimodal English learning videos that integrate sign language and visual supports for deaf-mute and regular students within the Merdeka Curriculum at the elementary level. This study aims to develop interactive videos as multimodal learning materials for teaching English to fourth-grade students in an inclusive classroom. Using the ADDIE instructional design model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the research enhances reading interest and comprehension among deaf-mute and regular students through sign language integration, visual aids, and interactive exercises. Needs analysis revealed that inclusive students require visually engaging, adaptive materials. The videos align with the Merdeka Curriculum, featuring clear visuals, structured narration based on Pancasila values, and inclusive learning support. Instruments used include interview guides, researcher journals, development progress sheets, expert judgments, and practicality questionnaires. Expert validation showed high scores: 4.625 (content expert) and 4.75 (media expert), categorized as very good. Practicality tests scored 4.3 (students) and 4.75 (teachers), indicating high effectiveness. Results show that interactive videos improve accessibility, engagement, and reading comprehension for students with special needs. Challenges include limited technology access and the need for teacher training. The study concludes that multimodal learning significantly benefits inclusive education and recommends further research on scalability and long-term impact.

Abstract

The integration of digital learning tools has become increasingly important in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, particularly in vocational high schools where students are required to develop workplace communication skills. Previous studies have reported the effectiveness of mobile applications in supporting language learning; however, limited attention has been given to providing practical pedagogical guidance that helps teachers integrate such applications into speaking instruction, especially in tourism vocational contexts. As a result, many English teachers continue to face difficulties in translating digital platforms into structured and meaningful classroom speaking activities. To address this gap, this study aimed to develop CakeApp-based infographics that function as practical teaching speaking ideas for tenth-grade English teachers in a tourism vocational high school. The study employed a Design and Development (D&D) research approach using the ADDE model, which consisted of analysis, design, development, and evaluation stages. Data were collected through syllabus analysis, classroom observation, teacher interviews, expert judgment, and user review. The findings indicated that the developed infographics achieved an excellent level of quality in terms of content relevance, instructional clarity, visual design, and practicality. Expert and user evaluations further confirmed that the infographics effectively assist teachers in integrating CakeApp into speaking instruction. Therefore, this study concludes that CakeApp-based infographics can serve as pedagogical guides that support interactive and context-based speaking activities in tourism vocational education.

Abstract

Reading behavioral engagement is an important aspect of students’ reading development, as it is reflected in observable behaviour such as attention, persistence, rereading, on task reading, and active interaction with the text. However, many young learners still struggle to maintain focus and active participation during reading activities, especially when using traditional reading material that rely heavily on text\ rather than visuals. Digital storybooks have emerged as an alternative reading material due to the integration of multimedia features that may support students’ engagement. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA framework to examine empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025 that investigated factors influencing young learners’ reading behavioral engagement through digital storybooks. Fourteen relevant articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings indicate that digital storybooks can effectively enhance students’ reading behavioral engagement when the multimedia features, such as narration, illustrations, and interactivity are well designed and aligned with pedagogical goals. Behavioral engagement is further strengthened through culturally relevant content, structured reading activities and teacher guidance. In contrast, excessive integrated multimedia may distract learners and reduce engagement. These findings provide a clearer framework for understanding how multimedia features influence young learners reading behavioral engagement. Overall, the study highlights the importance of thoughtful multimedia design and instructional support in digital reading contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of digital storybooks in improving young learners’ reading skills, addressing the persistent challenges of low reading comprehension, limited vocabulary, and poor engagement in early literacy classrooms. With children increasingly growing up in digitally rich environments, traditional print-based instruction often fails to capture their attention. By creating an urgent need for instructional approaches that align with their digital experiences while supporting essential literacy skills. A Systematic Literature Review guided by the PRISMA framework was conducted. Ten empirical studies published between 2018 and 2024 were selected based on clear inclusion and exclusion criteria. These studies were analyzed to identify how digital storybooks influence reading comprehension, vocabulary development, story sequencing, and engagement. The findings show that digital storybooks significantly enhance reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and engagement. Multimodal features such as text highlighting, visual cues, and audio narration help learners process information more effectively and remain motivated. Teacher guidance and well-designed materials further improve outcomes. Overall, this study underscores that urgent need to integrate digital storybooks into early literacy instruction. It provides evidence-based guidance for educators and highlights directions for future research, including investigating long-term impacts and broader classroom applications.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of code-mixing within the WhatsApp interactions of the Bali Arknights Players Community. The primary objective is to identify the types of code-mixing based on Hoffmann’s (1991) classification. Employing a descriptive quantitative design, this research analyzed 168 instances of code-mixing extracted from group chat transcripts. The findings reveal three types of code-mixing: intra-sentential, intra-lexical, and involving a change of pronunciation. Intra-sentential code-mixing was the most dominant type, accounting for 74.40% of the data, followed by intra-lexical code-mixing at 21.43%, while code-mixing involving a change of pronunciation represented only 4.17%. The dominance of intra-sentential code-mixing indicates that community members more frequently insert English words or phrases into Indonesian sentence structures rather than hybridizing words or modifying phonological forms. This pattern reflects the influence of gaming terminology, which is predominantly expressed in English and widely adopted by bilingual speakers in online gaming communities. The study concludes that in specialized digital environments such as gaming communities, code-mixing functions as an effective communicative strategy to facilitate technical discussions, strengthen group identity, and maintain interactional efficiency among members.

Abstract

Recent advances in English Language Teaching (ELT) emphasize deep learning approaches that promote higher-order thinking skills; however, insufficient attention has been given to students’ cognitive readiness as a prerequisite for meaningful engagement. While Transcendental Meditation (TM) has been widely reported to enhance psychological wellbeing and attention, existing studies largely focus on general outcomes rather than its integration within subject-specific pedagogy and its effect on higher-order literacy processes. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to (1) design a TM-based deep learning instructional model for ELT and (2) examine students’ perceptions of its integration in learning. This study employed a design-based research approach combined with qualitative inquiry, involving Grade 10 students. Data were collected through a student perception questionnaire, reflective journals, and focus group discussions (FGDs). The intervention model was implemented through a structured five-phase learning cycle: cognitive centering (TM), activation of prior knowledge, deep engagement, collaborative knowledge construction, and reflective metacognition. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the TM-based model effectively supports students’ concentration, emotional stability, and readiness to learn, which subsequently enhances their engagement in complex literacy tasks. Students perceive TM as an integral component of learning that facilitates clearer thinking, reduced anxiety, and deeper comprehension. The study contributes a novel pedagogical framework that integrates cognitive preparation with deep learning processes in ELT. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that embedding TM within instructional design can optimize students’ cognitive conditions, enabling more effective engagement with higher-order language tasks. This highlights the importance of incorporating cognitive-affective readiness into contemporary ELT practices for future research, including investigating long-term impacts and broader classroom applications.

Abstract

Pawongan in Tri Hita Karana is a universal value that functions as a foundation for character education, particularly in shaping children to behave ethically and develop social awareness. Introducing positive values through Pawongan-based character education is not enough, because children also need to be introduced to actions that violate Pawongan values, so that they know which actions are wrong and as guidance for not doing those actions. This study aims to introduce these violating actions through an analysis of Edmund Pevensie's characterization in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe novel by C.S. Lewis that violates Pawongan values. This study used an interactive qualitative data analysis model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), which includes data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results of the study showed that Edmund Pevensie violates Pawongan values through selfish, betrayal, bullying, and dishonesty actions towards his siblings, which have an impact on damaged social relationships and decreased trust given by his siblings. This research is expected to enrich local wisdom-based character education in children's literature and encourage future research to explore further world literary works that contain local values.
