Abstract

As Indonesia’s education system adopts the Independent Curriculum, the promotion of learner autonomy has attained renewed importance, particularly in English language education. While the theoretical advantages of learner autonomy are well-established, empirical research examining how EFL teachers in rural Indonesian contexts perceive and implement this concept remains limited. This study looked into the views and self-reported practices of 40 in-service EFL teachers from rural schools in Kupang Regency within the framework of the Independent Curriculum. Data were obtained using structured questionnaires and open-ended reflections. The findings indicate that although teachers generally express positive attitudes toward the value of learner autonomy, many participants demonstrated limited theoretical understanding and lacked the pedagogical strategies necessary for fostering autonomy in their classrooms. While a majority believed that promoting learner autonomy is feasible, their justifications often relied on general assumptions—such as potential improvements in language proficiency—rather than a concrete understanding of how autonomy can be integrated into classroom practice. These findings highlight the need for targeted professional development that equips teachers with both conceptual knowledge and practical tools aligned with the goals of the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

Effective spoken communication is influenced by intelligibility and comprehensibility, both of which are shaped by segmental and suprasegmental features of pronunciation. This study aims to examine how segmental and suprasegmental pronunciation features influence the intelligibility of Indonesian EFL learners during reading-aloud tasks. The study used a descriptive qualitative research method and involved 5 senior members of the Global English Community (GEC) at Mandalika University of Education (UNDIKMA) as participants. The data consisted of recorded speech produced during reading-aloud sessions and were collected through direct observation and expert rating by a native-speaker. The analysis focused on segmental features (vowel and consonant production, including monophthongs, diphthongs, and silent-letter words) and suprasegmental features (word stress and voice quality). The findings indicated that segmental inaccuracies particularly in English sounds not found in Indonesian caused the greatest reduction in intelligibility because they frequently altered word meaning. In contrast, suprasegmental issues such as misplaced stress and limited voice quality reduced naturalness and listener processing but did not affect meaning. These results indicated that pronunciation instruction for Indonesian EFL learners should prioritize segmental accuracy while still integrating suprasegmental training to support overall speech clarity.

Abstract

Studies of cultural narratives as indirect speech acts and persuasive strategies in health promotion remain limited. This study aims to discover how "Go’et," a cultural narrative of Manggarai Community Indonesia, is used as an indirect speech act and persuasive strategy in health promotion. It is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted in the Rego dialect community, Manggarai, Indonesia. The study participants were chosen purposively based on predetermined criteria. The participants included healthcare providers, customary leaders, and community figures. Data from the study were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, documentation and Focus Group Discussion. The study indicated that the cultural narratives of Go’et in the Manggarai community in Indonesia are relevant to the context of health promotion. The cultural narratives are constructed in imperative sentences with the illocutionary power of advising, recommending and hoping. Using indirect speech acts through "Go’et" has become a persuasive strategy for shaping people's perceptions, beliefs and behavior.  Healthcare providers can adopt such expressions to positively influence patients' emotional states, enhancing their psychological readiness to recover or maintain good health. The study contributes to understanding how cultural narratives function as indirect speech acts in non-Western communities, particularly within the Manggarai context of Indonesia. By highlighting Go’et as a culturally embedded form of communication, the study expands the theoretical discourse on indirectness, politeness strategies, and persuasive communication in health promotion. Moreover, the study provides valuable insights into community-based health promotion strategies by emphasizing the compelling role of traditional discourse.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the profile and needs of teachers in learning to write science literacy-based explanatory texts at Vocational High Schools (SMK) in Cianjur, Jawa Barat. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected via an online questionnaire distributed to 19 Indonesian language teachers. The questionnaire instrument consisted of closed and open questions covering respondents' identity, teaching experience, learning challenges, and needs for teaching materials. The results show that most teachers, with varying teaching experience, have taught explanatory texts. However, learning still predominantly focuses on mechanical aspects and has not been optimally integrated with elements of science literacy. Conventional textbooks are still the primary source of learning, while utilizing digital media and contextual materials is minimal. Teachers also expressed the need for teaching materials linking text structures with scientific understanding relevant to students' lives. In addition, training for teachers in integrating science literacy into writing instruction is urgently needed. These findings confirm the importance of developing science literacy-based writing e-modules to solve classroom learning challenges and improve students' critical thinking, information literacy, and writing skills in a contextual and meaningful way.

Abstract

Metacognitive strategies are language learning strategies used to improve self-monitoring and self-regulation skills. Using a purposive sampling technique, 79 students in a creative writing class were selected to participate. Data collection was carried out repeatedly, and the data were analyzed using repeated measurement tests. During essay writing learning, students were guided to develop metacognitive skills, starting from planning, monitoring, and evaluating writing. The results of the study showed that metacognitive strategies influenced the development of metacognitive skills. Students were accustomed to writing in the stages of planning writing, monitoring the strategies used, and evaluating the writing results. When completing their writing, they were guided to use a reflection journal as a self-reflection tool. Measurements were carried out five times. In the first week, students began to be introduced to metacognitive strategies with a focus on awareness of the thinking process, especially in planning the content of the writing; in the second week, students showed significant improvement when they were able to organize ideas more coherently and relevantly to the topic; In week 3, students demonstrated maturity in developing arguments, enriching descriptions, and improving paragraph cohesion and coherence, resulting in a significant increase in their creative essay writing scores. However, in weeks 4 and 5, students' abilities slowed down, with no statistically significant differences. This stagnation was caused by the learning plateau and ceiling effect, the short duration of treatment, inaccurate assessment instruments, and student motivation and boredom. Nevertheless, metacognitive strategies are recommended for use in essay writing learning.
