Abstract

The integration of culture in language classrooms is crucial to enhance students’ translingual and transcultural competence. This is particularly relevant in English Language Teaching (ELT), where English serves as a global lingua franca among multicultural users. Effective communication requires both language proficiency and cultural literacy. In Indonesia, where English is taught and learned by individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, the Ministry of Higher Education mandates the inclusion of cross-cultural subjects in teacher education. However, many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers feel unprepared to integrate cultural elements due to a lack of training and models. This essay explores the challenges of cultural integration in Indonesian teacher education, reviews related literature and case studies, and proposes strategies to enhance cultural inclusion in language teaching.

Abstract

Writing skills in English are considered challenging, particularly in academic contexts like thesis writing, where effective organization and expression are crucial. Many students used Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as Grammarly, to enhance their grammar, punctuation, and spelling. This research explored EFL students' perceptions of Grammarly in thesis writing, focusing on both the opportunities and challenges associated with its use and their responses to those. The study was conducted with final-year students at a reputable university who used Grammarly's free version, employing a qualitative design and using semi-structured interviews to get the data. Findings indicated that student perceptions of Grammarly were positive for its user-friendliness, instant feedback, and efficiency in addressing grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. The opportunities identified include immediate feedback, consistent evaluation, additional correction insights, and improved writing efficiency, all contributing positively to thesis writing quality. However, challenges such as over-reliance on AI, the necessity for manual rechecking, limitations of the free version, difficulties with tense detection, and internet connectivity issues were also reported. Students generally appreciate Grammarly's suggestion in correcting grammatical and technical challenges but have varied responses to its challenges, with some continuing to use the tool despite its shortcomings and others using similar alternative options. Suggestions for further research include comparing Grammarly with other writing assistance tools in the context of thesis writing and using quantitative methods to better assess its effectiveness. Future studies could develop diverse research instruments to enrich the findings of this research.

Abstract

This paper aims to propose practical implications of designing online speaking classrooms by presenting several issues and key aspects that need to be reevaluated by teachers or course designers. Several studies regarding factors motivating and hindering students’ speaking performance in online modes have been conducted but they do not discuss the interrelationship between each factor. Drawing from previous references, the study breaks down certain conditions that should be fulfilled if students’ positive attitudes and improved performance in online speaking classrooms should be achieved. Those conditions are related to the learning activities developed by the teacher, the choice of learning platforms, the exposure to inputs and resources, and the teacher’s preparedness for technology operation. At the end of this article, practical solutions are proposed to manage related issues and hence recommend suggestions for speaking teachers to improve more effective online classroom activities accordingly. I believe when designed effectively, online speaking classrooms can be one solution's alternative to facilitate practice regardless of learners’ education level and occupation.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill for academic success, yet many students struggle with understanding complex texts, particularly procedural texts, which require sequential comprehension. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Give One Get One (GOGO) strategy in improving students’ reading comprehension of procedure texts. The study employs a quantitative research method using a one-group pre-test and post-test design to measure students’ progress. A total of 32 senior high school students participated in the study. Students underwent three treatment sessions, with their reading comprehension assessed before and after the intervention. The findings indicate that while there was a statistically significant difference in students’ reading comprehension scores, the effect size was very weak. Post-test results showed that some students’ scores declined, suggesting that the GOGO strategy may not be effective for teaching procedural texts. The structured nature of procedure texts may have limited the interactive benefits of the strategy, leading to inconsistent improvements in student performance. These results highlight the need for educators to carefully select instructional strategies based on text type and learning objectives. While GOGO may be effective for certain text genres, it may require modification or supplementation when applied to structured texts like procedural writing. Further research should explore alternative strategies that enhance engagement while maintaining comprehension accuracy.

Abstract

Understanding teachers’ teaching philosophy is central to their professional growth, yet research on experienced EFL teachers’ reflective practice in Indonesia remains limited. This study addresses the gap by exploring how experienced teachers conceptualize their teaching philosophy through reflection. A qualitative case study was conducted with three experienced Indonesian EFL teachers, each holding more than nine years of teaching experience and a master’s degree in English education. Data were collected through six rounds of semi-structured interviews and reflective journals, guided by established reflective frameworks. Triangulation was applied to ensure trustworthiness, and thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. Eight themes emerged: (1) the role of English in formal schooling, (2) external influences on teaching, (3) perceptions of being a teacher, (4) experiences of teaching English, (5) challenges in English instruction, (6) strategies for managing classroom problems, (7) adaptation of teaching methods, and (8) critical incidents shaping professional identity. These findings highlight how personal experiences, contextual constraints, and reflective engagement shape teachers’ philosophies and practices. The study demonstrates that reflective practice enables teachers to align pedagogical choices with their evolving philosophy, fostering professional identity and responsiveness to learners’ needs. The results resonate with global literature on reflective teaching while emphasizing the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Applying critical thinking is the ability to actively analyze, assess and understand information in depth before making a decision or concluding something. Researchers conducted this research on two English language education students at Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri University to find out what obstacles and efforts were applied when teaching in the classroom. This research uses a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews. Based on the research results, there are eight obstacles faced by teachers, namely: traditional teaching methods, time constraints, assessment challenges, teacher training, disciplinary disorders, resistance to change, limited resources, and cultural and social factors. All of these obstacles have been overcome well, namely by using various efforts such as argument mapping, analyzing texts and sources, using real-world examples, encouraging collaborative learning, building relationships, providing clear instructions, encouraging inquiry-based learning, demonstrating thinking processes, improve academic achievement, and problem-solving skills. Recommendations for future researchers are to develop this research by using comparative classes and expanding the scope of the research and further researchers can develop it by using more research instruments to further strengthen the results applying.

Abstract

The demand for formal English proficiency both in academic and professional environments highlights the critical role of Standard English Grammar in building effective communication and professional identity. This study investigates how EFL students in a university’s English Language Education Study Program perceive the importance of standard grammar in professional contexts. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from first-semester undergraduate EFL students (N=40) through a structured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire combined Likert-scale items with open-ended questions, while the interviews provided deeper insights into students’ experiences and expectations regarding the teaching of grammar in their classroom. Findings show that the majority of students recognize standard grammar as essential for maintaining credibility and professionalism, especially in tasks such as academic writing, formal email correspondence, job interviews, and public speaking. However, a significant gap exists between students’ awareness of the importance of grammatical aspect and their ability to apply it effectively in real-world contexts. The analysis also identifies students’ concerns about the de-contextualized nature of grammar instruction and their preference for contextual, task-based learning approaches that simulate professional communication. The study underscores the need to align Grammar curricula with professional demands by embedding grammar instruction into authentic learning materials. These findings have implications for the development of EFL curriculum, emphasizing the integration of grammatical competence with professional literacy. By rethinking the grammar instruction through a contextualized lens, educators are expected to support students in constructing confident professional identities.

Abstract

Romantic films play a pivotal role in shaping global perceptions of love, yet little is known about how emotional expressions are adapted across cultures through translation. This study explores the intersection of Chapman’s Five Love Languages and translation strategies in the Indonesian subtitling of Irish Wish. Using a qualitative case study, 110 dialogues were purposively sampled from the official Netflix subtitles. Dialogues were classified into love language categories (Chapman, 2009) and analyzed through Molina and Albir’s (2002) translation framework. AntConc software assisted in text pattern identification, while expert validation ensured coding reliability. Findings reveal Words of Affirmation (75.45%) as the most dominant love language, followed by Acts of Service (15.45%), with minimal presence of Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. Literal translation, modulation, and established equivalents emerged as the most frequently applied strategies, supported by selective use of adaptation, reduction, and borrowing to maintain emotional nuance. The study highlights how translators balance linguistic fidelity and cultural resonance, ensuring emotional authenticity in Indonesian contexts. By integrating relationship psychology with translation studies, this research contributes to media localization scholarship and underscores the importance of culturally adaptive subtitling for cross-cultural empathy.
