Abstract

This study aims to describe the representation of genders in five Indonesian EFL textbooks published by Erlangga Publishing and unveil the ideology and attitudes behind the image of genders. The methods of critical discourse analysis (CDA) proposed by Van Dijk, which comprise discourse, social cognition, and discourse and society, are used to unveil the patterns of gender portrayal and the attitudes behind it. Data for this study are the human images in five Indonesian EFL textbooks published by Erlangga Publishing. This study reveals that in terms of frequency, women are more dominant than men; women’s images appear more frequently than men's. In dealing with other aspects under study, men and women are depicted symmetrically. The symmetrical representation between men and women suggests the attitude and ideology of gender equality the authors uphold.

Abstract

The continual development of professional teachers is essential for upholding an ideal learning atmosphere for students. Although there were extensive studies on pre-service training and early career development, there is a gap in information regarding how in-service teachers, who have years of experience, continue to enhance their professionalism throughout their careers. In this study, teachers encountered several unexpected and impactful classroom Critical Incidents, which provided significant insights into their professional development. This study aimed to examine the critical incidents faced by practicing teachers and how these experiences shaped their professional identity. It explores how these moments affect their fundamental values, beliefs, and teaching methods. The research investigated the real-life experiences of three Junior High school in-service teachers in Temanggung, Indonesia by using teacher reflections and conducting in-depth interviews. The findings of the interviews with the in-service teachers indicate that students' attitudes towards teachers and their own mental health were associated with a higher frequency of critical incidents in the classroom. The researchers also discovered that critical incidents were far better for their growth compared only to participating in teacher development training, as it provided valuable experience and exposure to real-world situations. This finding had profound implications both in academia and in practical applications. Teacher education programs can enhance their preparation of pre-service teachers by acknowledging the impact of significant incidents. Furthermore, the results can be used to enhance professional development programs for teachers, enabling them to analyze their critical incidents and use these experiences in their development.

Abstract

Various studies have highlighted the significance of language learning strategies in enhancing language competence. However, studies specifically examining the correlation between these strategies and learning autonomy are limited, particularly among graduate students in Indonesia. This study seeks to address this gap by examining the correlation between language learning strategies and learning autonomy among graduate students. Using quantitative methods, this study involved a correlation design on 136 graduate English language students at a state university in Indonesia. The instruments used were the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire developed by Oxford (1990) and the Learner Autonomy (LA) questionnaire developed by Chan and Spratt (2002). The analysis of the data involved descriptive statistics and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results revealed that the majority of graduate students utilized metacognitive strategies more frequently to acquire English skills, and they demonstrated a high level of autonomy. Furthermore, researchers discovered a positive correlation between language learning strategies and learner autonomy. The implications of this study indicate that the use of language learning strategies contributes to supporting learner autonomy. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions and lecturers to design curricula and learning activities that encourage the application of relevant strategies and the development of student autonomy. This not only helps students become more autonomous in the learning process but also improves the effectiveness of English language acquisition among graduate students.

Abstract

This century's learning advancement relies on different information technology mediums. Thus, educators must improve their ICT skills to improve learning and academic performance. There are two main goals of this study: 1) to find out how TPACK is used to teach and learn English in high school; and 2) to find out what problems English teachers run into when they try to use TPACK. The type of study being done is qualitative. Interviews, documentation, and observation were some of the methods used to gather information for this study. This study looks at 34 kids from XII IPA and one English teacher. English teachers' TPACK knowledge comes from how well technology fits with their teaching methods and English subject knowledge. Technology lets the teacher apply several instructional strategies for several learning environments. According to the Merdeka Curriculum, technology allows SMA 13 Makassar students to learn at their own pace and according to their choices. The English teacher utilized Quizizz or Google Classroom to handle assignments and provide timely feedback. Network service variability affects student engagement and learning equity. SMA 13 Makassar students may need help with coursework, internet forums, and extracurricular resources. While TPACK-based teaching depends on online resources, unreliable network connectivity limits availability. English teachers needing digital libraries, web-based platforms, or multimedia materials need consistent internet access. Unreliable access to these tools can interfere with courses requiring live quizzes, direct assessments, or online group projects to help students grasp complex English literature.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) on speaking fluency and confidence among EFL students at Al-Mizan Islamic Boarding School in Indonesia. A mixed-method approach was employed, with quantitative data collected through pre-tests and post-tests and qualitative data through interviews and observations. Speaking fluency was measured based on speech flow, pace, continuity, naturalness, and intonation, while confidence was measured based on willingness to participate, composure, eye contact, vocal clarity, and engagement. Results revealed significant improvements, with the average fluency score increasing from 55.46 to 75.67 and confidence score from 58.63 to 80.58 after an eight-week CALL intervention. Qualitative findings highlighted that CALL’s interactive features and real-time feedback supported students in improving their pronunciation and reducing speaking anxiety. This study underscores the effectiveness of CALL in enhancing speaking proficiency and fostering learner autonomy, particularly in EFL contexts with limited speaking opportunities. While the findings are promising, future research with larger samples and extended intervention periods is recommended to examine the long-term impacts of CALL. These results advocate for integrating CALL into language education to create more engaging and supportive learning environments that promote fluency and confidence development in EFL learners.

Abstract

The study aimed to develop culturally relevant reading materials for eighth-grade students at one of the state junior schools in Ponorogo, Indonesia, using Canva as a digital platform. The primary objective was to improve students' reading comprehension by integrating local cultural narratives, such as the stories of Reog Ponorogo and Lake Ngebel, into narrative texts. The research employed the ADDIE model to systematically design and implement these materials, with phases including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. In the Analysis phase, student needs were assessed through questionnaires, revealing that students struggled with narrative structure and found traditional reading materials disengaging. The Design and Development phases involved creating visually engaging, culturally relevant narrative materials using Canva. The materials were then tested in the classroom, where students interacted with the content through reading tasks and quizzes. Findings showed significant improvements in students' engagement and reading comprehension. Over 80% of the participants reported that the materials were more relatable and easier to understand than traditional texts. The study concluded that integrating local culture into reading materials through digital platforms like Canva enhances both student motivation and learning outcomes.
