Abstract

The primary objective of this research article is twofold: First, it examines the perspectives of Indonesian higher school students regarding the use of translanguaging both within and outside the classroom. Second, it analyzes the potential implications of translanguaging practices on their future careers. Adapting a nexus case-study framework, the study purposively selected five participants among 38 students who were pursuing a degree in economics at a private institution in Surabaya, Indonesia. The data were collected through classroom observations, participant reflections, and focus group discussions, then analyzed thematically to trace connections among historical bodies, interactional orders, and discourses in place. The findings reveal that the participants hold loose and gain viewpoints toward translanguaging. While the participants recognize the learning value of small group debates, they prefer to use only English during classroom lectures, reflected by the interplay between their linguistic histories, real-time classroom interactions, and broader societal ideologies monolingual space emerges when individuals conform to the ideals espoused by their social groupings. The participants’ alignment with monolingual norms is shaped by institutional expectations and imagined futures where English accuracy and fluency signals professionalism. Although translanguaging supports learning, they fear its overuse may constrain career advancement.  The consequences of these findings are further discussed in the closing portion of this work.

Abstract

This study examines the ethical implications of the AI-assisted writing tools’ integration, such as Grammarly, in English language instruction, based on the perspectives of 30 English lecturers in Indonesia. The research aims to understand lecturers' views regarding the application of AI in writing courses, especially concerning academic integrity, student autonomy, and fairness. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and analyzed thematically with the help of NVivo software. Descriptive statistics such as percentages were used to support the presentation of qualitative themes. The results suggest that numerous lecturers recognize the advances of AI tools—such as real-time feedback, improved writing accuracy, and increased efficiency— concerns persist about excessive dependence on AI, erosion of critical thinking skills, and algorithmic bias. The study also reveals a lack of institutional guidelines to support ethical AI integration. Lecturers emphasized the need for balanced use, combining AI tools with traditional teaching methods, alongside training and clear policies to guide ethical application. These revelations help create practical rules for the ethical incorporation of AI in writing settings in higher education.

Abstract

Teachers usually provide Oral Corrective Feedback (OCF) to students during classroom learning, especially when learning English, which has language skills such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It causes anxiety in students, which leads to fear, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and even unmotivated. The study aims to determine the impact of the application of OCF on students' anxiety when speaking English in class. This research approach used a quantitative approach. This study used a pre-experimental with one group before- and-after design. The data were collected from 34 students of class X in the second semester at SMA 1 Ciparay. The data were collected by conducting observations, tests (pretest and posttest, and questionnaires. The data were analyzed using a paired sample test technique to determine students' speaking ability differences before and after treatment. The findings of the paired sample test indicated a substantial change in the anxiety levels of the students before and after OCF was given. Based on the hypothesis test results, the significance is (t = <.001, p < 0.05). It suggests a significant improvement in students' speaking ability compared to before and after receiving OCF. The results of this study also indicated that the use of OCF was able to reduce students' anxiety, especially when they had to speak in front of the class.

Abstract

Globalization and modernization have made English proficiency a key factor in student success. However, Indonesia's performance remains low, ranking 79th out of 113 countries in the EF English Proficiency Index, with only 46% of students in Bekasi Regency meeting the minimum standard in 2021. This study investigates the impact of intrapersonal intelligence and learning models. Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Discovery Learning (DL)—on English achievement among vocational high school students. Using a 2x2 factorial experimental design, 70 students were assigned to PjBL (experimental) and DL (control) groups, categorized by high (B1) and low (B2) intrapersonal intelligence. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests. Results revealed: (1) PjBL led to significantly better outcomes than DL; (2) a significant interaction existed between learning models and intrapersonal intelligence; (3) students with high intrapersonal intelligence in the PjBL group outperformed their DL counterparts by 13.20 points; (4) students with low intrapersonal intelligence performed better with DL, with a score difference of -3.90. These findings suggest vocational English teachers should apply PjBL for students with strong intrapersonal skills and DL for those with lower levels. Policymakers are urged to incorporate emotional intelligence components into national curriculum development.

Abstract

Developing autonomy in writing is crucial for EFL students, as effective writing requires not only language skills but also cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, and behavioral strategies that enable students to regulate and direct their own learning process. In this context, Self-Regulated Writing (SRW) is an important strategy as it enables students to initiate, monitor their thinking, and independently evaluate and revise their drafts. This study examines (1) EFL students' Self-Regulated Writing (SRW) strategies in essay writing, (2) advanced students' SRW strategies across the PLEE cycle, and (3) the online resources they use while writing. From 62 essay writing students, 5 were selected for semi-structured interviews utilizing purposive sampling in this concurrent mixed methods study. Descriptive statistics were used for closed-ended surveys, whereas thematic analysis was used for observations and interviews. The results showed that SRW ranks social environment first and motive last. Students used Google Scholar for independent writing during planning and QuillBot for individual writing during implementation and evaluation. Pedagogically, this study helps educators develop writing experiences that support autonomy.

Abstract

Engagement plays a critical role in enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. Therefore, investigating the factors that influence engagement is essential. This study explores the mechanisms through which engagement is shaped by key factors among EFL learners, within the framework of Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Specifically, the focus is on autonomy support, enjoyment, and ideal L2 self. A total of 413 EFL learners from diverse colleges participated in an online survey, where these constructs were measured using four validated scales. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via AMOS 24 was employed for data analysis. The results indicated that autonomy support, enjoyment, and ideal L2 self directly and positively predicted learner engagement. Furthermore, autonomy support indirectly influenced engagement through enjoyment, ideal L2 self, or both. These findings highlight the significance of these factors in fostering EFL learner engagement and offer valuable insights for enhancing EFL education and guiding future research on engagement dynamics.

Abstract

The integration of social media platforms in EFL reading instruction remains underexplored, particularly regarding their combined pedagogical potential for enhancing collaborative learning experiences. This study investigates how YouTube and WhatsApp function as complementary collaborative learning tools in EFL reading courses, addressing the gap in research on their synergistic effects on reading comprehension and peer interaction. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 100 third-semester students through questionnaires, with 40 randomly selected participants providing reflective journals. The research examined students' perceptions of these platforms' effectiveness in supporting collaborative reading activities and identified correlations between platform use and learning engagement. The findings indicate that students perceived both platforms positively, with YouTube presentations supporting comprehension of reading materials and WhatsApp discussions fostering collaborative engagement. However, challenges such as limited interaction during video presentations, technological barriers, and message overload in group chats were also reported. Thematic analysis further revealed five key themes: learning engagement, collaborative experiences, online learning challenges, platform benefits, and improvement suggestions. The study contributes practical insights for optimizing social media integration in EFL reading instruction through structured engagement strategies, balanced participation guidelines, and blended learning approaches that combine synchronous and asynchronous collaborative reading activities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of speaking anxiety and factors causing it, as well as solutions based on students' perspectives at each level of anxiety. Using a mixed-methods research design with an explanatory sequential approach, quantitative data were collected through the Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety Questionnaire (FLSAQ) from 288 English Language Education students in batches of 2022, 2023, and 2024 at a public university in Palangka Raya. In-depth interviews, students were selected based on FLSAQ scores to represent high, medium, and low anxiety levels. Quantitative results showed that the majority of students were at a moderate level of anxiety (56.8%), while 18.3% showed high anxiety and 24.9% low. The results also showed that there were no significant differences in anxiety scores based on year of entry or class. Qualitative results showed students with high and medium anxiety experienced anxiety due to language competence (vocabulary and grammar), lack of speaking opportunities, negative experiences from the environment, and lack of preparation and confidence. Students with low anxiety generally have more active exposure to and use of English and better self-management strategies. The solutions that students expect include material preparation, independent practice, a supportive classroom atmosphere, and structured teaching strategies.

Abstract

The swift advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents novel prospects for improving English Language Teaching (ELT) curriculum design. Although AI has been extensively researched in high-resource environments, there is a paucity of studies addressing its implementation in areas with infrastructural and training deficiencies, such as South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study sought to examine stakeholders' awareness of AI, their views on its advantages and obstacles, and its prospective function in the creation of ELT curricula. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were gathered from 178 individuals (100 students, 60 teachers, and 18 administrators) via structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were examined by descriptive and correlational statistics, whereas qualitative data were subjected to theme analysis. Results demonstrate a moderate overall awareness of AI, accompanied by a robust acknowledgment of its promise for individualized learning, engagement, and adaptive content delivery. Nonetheless, obstacles such as inadequate teacher training, poor infrastructure, and low digital preparedness continue to exist. Correlation research indicated a substantial positive association between AI familiarity and perceived advantages. The report advocates for focused professional development, strategic resource allocation, and the incorporation of AI competencies into national curriculum frameworks. These findings advance AI-in-education research by providing context-specific insights for the implementation of AI-enhanced English language teaching curricula in resource-diverse environments.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to review the self-perceived oral presentation anxiety and coping strategies of non-English majors of the University of Bengkulu. The research used a descriptive quantitative approach in sampling the 130 participants to gather information through the Personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety (PRPSA) and Oral Communication Strategy Inventory (OCSI). Students reported a moderate anxiousness, which was associated with language and assessment. Use of social-affective measures, such as self-talk and relaxation, was most common in students and then by fluency-oriented measures. The results of One-Way ANOVA indicated that the difference in the use of strategies by level of anxiety was significant. Social-affective strategies and fluency-specific strategies were more common among high-anxiety students (F=26.70, p <.001; F=11.94, p <.001). Conversely, message simplification was popular among the moderate-anxiety students (F=15.78, p <.001). What the study determines is that there are special strategies, such as specially designed interventions, such as message construction workshops, fluency training, and relaxation methods, that can facilitate the quality of presentation. Such results shed light on the strategies that the non-English majors adopted to overcome presentation anxiety and offer ways in which the EFL learners can reduce the latter.
