Abstract

The thesis defense examination (TDE) is a high-stakes academic interaction in which candidates must communicate effectively and persuasively to demonstrate their understanding of the subject matter. Understanding response strategies is vital to establishing effective communication within a thesis defense. This study analyzed candidates’ response strategies in the EFL thesis defenses using Celce-Murcia’s framework. The data collection involved observing eight thesis defenses and recording oral interactions, which were then transcribed for analysis. To ensure the credibility of the data analysis, an inter-coder agreement was calculated, resulting in a Cohen’s kappa value of κ = 0.82, indicating a high level of agreement between coders. The findings showed that candidates frequently employed expansion strategies when answering examiners’ questions. Confirmation strategies also appeared with relatively high frequency. Repetition and reduction and repair strategies were used with moderate frequency, whereas rephrasing and rejection were rarely employed. This study reveals that EFL candidates often add more information to their responses and confirm their answers during interaction in the thesis defenses.

Abstract

It is believed that to master new knowledge from different cultures and countries, the role of translation is very pivotal. Because people speak and write different languages, the presence of translation as a tool to bridge the two sides is a must. Likewise, in the era of early Islam, such as the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates, some Islamic and non-Islam scholars translated many scientific works into Arabic from other regions such as Greece, Persia, India, etc. These translated works later were learned and comprehended by Muslim scholars. They also developed those works meticulously to be better ones. There are some articles that discussed the translation practice in early Islamic caliphates but fewer papers that introduced disciplines and works that became the emphases of translation. This paper tries to explore what disciplines and what works became the focuses of translation activities from foreign languages into Arabic, which were carried out by Muslim and non-Muslim intellectuals at the beginning of Islam in the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates. Using a Systematic literature Review which focuses on seven peer-reviewed articles, it is found there were several disciplines that became emphases of translation activities, such as Literature, arts, chemistry, city design, civil engineering, astronomy, medicine, philosophy, mathematics, etc.

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of both English teachers and junior high school students regarding the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Kayong Utara, a rural district in Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected through two Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 21 teachers and 250 students across several schools. The instruments were designed around seven key indicators: clarity of instruction, teaching method effectiveness, learning engagement, relevance of materials, feedback and assessment, learning independence, and classroom atmosphere. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed generally positive perceptions from both groups, particularly in terms of instructional clarity and classroom climate. However, the findings also indicated several perception gaps. Teachers tended to underestimate the effectiveness of their teaching methods and feedback practices, while overestimating students’ autonomy and the relevance of materials. Correlational analysis showed moderate alignment between teacher and student responses, suggesting the need for greater feedback mechanisms and contextual alignment in teaching strategies. This study highlights the importance of professional development and support systems in ensuring the success of a flexible, student-centered curriculum in under-resourced regions.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the perceptions and attitudes of Generation Z (Gen Z) students who are considered digital natives and interact with AI technology in English speaking practices. This study moves beyond conventional quantitative measurements to delve into the distinct qualitative psychosocial dimensions in question. Through a qualitative exploratory approach, perceptions, challenges, and expectations that students hold concerning educational technologies such as chatbots and speech recognition software were analyzed utilizing semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and field notes. Findings indicate that even though students in this age cohort are technologically adaptive, they experience high levels of AI-induced emotional disengagement. In addition, Gen Z expresses a new form of “perfection anxiety” that relates to the pervasive tech issue AI faces in accurately capturing speech. This tension underscores a paradox in contemporary AI design, while AI interfaces have the potential to enhance multilingual pedagogical practices, they starkly lack the empathy and emotional sensitivity required to support psychosocial interaction. This study proposes advances the design of pedagogical AIs beyond the provided functionalities and aims by addressing the intrinsic design requirements that emerge from the learner level, thus, holistically attending to the psychosocial and emotional dimensions of fluency needs of digitally proficient Gen Z learners.

Abstract

The status of English as an optional subject in the Indonesian primary school curriculum has created significant ambiguity for English for Young Learners (EYL) teachers. This policy uncertainty limits institutional support and curricular guidance, leaving many EYL teachers without a clear framework to effectively deliver English Language Teaching (ELT) at the primary level. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine the landscape of Teacher Professional Development (TPD) initiatives for EYL educators in Indonesia. Drawing from peer-reviewed journals, government documents, and educational reports published between 2020-2025, this review identifies key themes, challenges, and best practices in the professional development of EYL teachers. The findings reveal that while various TPD programs exist, many are fragmented, underfunded, or misaligned with the practical needs of teachers operating in contexts where English instruction lacks formal curricular status. This article highlights the urgent need for policy-informed, context-responsive TPD models to equip EYL teachers with the practical needs of teachers operating in contexts where English instruction lacks formal curricular status.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Gemini AI in teaching speaking skills to second-grade senior high school students in Bandung. The study aims to reveal the use of Gemini AI in teaching speaking abilities. The participants consisted of 24 students and one English teacher from one of the private high schools in Bandung; most of the students possessed an intermediate level of speaking proficiency. The study used Classroom action research for three three-cycle implementations. Each cycle consisted of planning, implementation, and evaluation, aiming to get betterment in implementing Gemini AI in teaching speaking. The instruments used in the study were an observation sheet and a researcher's journal in order to know the steps and the techniques used in implementing Gemini AI for teaching speaking in every cycle. Findings from this research demonstrate that Gemini AI can be used as a tool in speaking lessons, providing interactive, real-time feedback and practice opportunities. Even though the implementation faced some obstacles, there were always some improvements in every cycle, which led the teacher and students to make Gemini AI as an effective digital tool for enhancing students’ speaking skills. The significance of the study indicates that integrating AI in teaching speaking can provide individualized and interesting language practice. The use of artificial intelligence in teaching speaking also can enhance conventional teaching strategies. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on AI in education and provides practical implications for English language teaching, especially in enhancing students’ communicative competence.

Abstract

Character education in Indonesia is currently facing various challenges, especially due to the growing social dynamics influenced by global culture, which tends to overlook local cultural values. In this context, literary works, particularly poetry, play a vital role in conveying messages of local wisdom that deeply influence character development. The poem collection Ayat Sunyi by Emi Suy highlights the importance of values such as cooperation, tolerance, honesty, justice, wisdom, human-nature relations, and religiosity. Using a literary sociology approach and sociological theory, this study reveals that local wisdom values, as part of social morality, are strongly portrayed in the poems. The analysis shows that the poems not only depict harmony between humans and nature but also emphasize the role of women as guardians of cultural values and agrarian spirituality. These poems emphasize the importance of preserving cultural traditions that are now being marginalized, while also educating students to appreciate their culture, value life, and develop responsible character. Thus, the poems serve a significant role in shaping a better young generation by instilling values of local wisdom that nurture individuals to be caring, empathetic, and deeply rooted in national identity. The symbolism of Dewi Sri, the earth, and prayer in the poems provides a strong foundation for reinforcing character education, preparing Indonesia's Golden Generation to become individuals of noble character, empathy, and cultural integrity.

Abstract

Many university students continue to struggle with academic writing, albeit they have passed the supporting courses of language content and skills. Such a condition becomes paradoxical as the subjects of this research, the 7th-semester students of the English Education Department at UIN Salatiga in the academic year 2025, experience similar phenomena. The students encounter issues in all stages of academic writing, especially during the inventing stage, in which they have to understand the topic, brainstorm ideas, and develop an outline before continuing to the next stages of drafting, revising, and editing. The inventing stage becomes the focus, as it defines and directs the global aspect in writing before they can develop their ideas. This research tries to understand the students’ challenges during the inventing stage of academic writing, and simultaneously concludes their strategies in negotiating those issues. From the Focus Group Discussion with 144 students, the researcher found that students encounter several challenges during the process of writing in the inventing stages in the areas of self-efficacy and motivation, understanding assignments and topics, brainstorming and idea generation, and developing an outline and forming a working thesis. To respond those challenges, the students develop strategies such as formulating motivation and support, finding reference, free listing ideas, and making a mind map. This analysis can contribute to the practical knowledge for further discussion and support the improvement of academic writing in higher education.

Abstract

This study examines the role of children’s literature in Japanese language education, emphasizing its educational value and theoretical foundations. Children’s literature not only aids students in enhancing their vocabulary and grammar but also provides insights into the culture, traditions, morals, and social perspectives that shape Japanese society. The study explores how children’s literature can be utilized in Japanese language education, focusing on its educational benefits and theoretical background. The language used in children’s literature is concise yet expressive, allowing learners to naturally encounter new words, common expressions, and stylistic patterns within the context of the story. Furthermore, these stories stimulate imaginations and emotions, making the learning process more engaging. From an educational standpoint, children’s literature illustrates the strong connection between language, culture, and identity. It supports a student-centred approach, encouraging students to reflect, interpret, and take ownership of their learning. In contrast to traditional teaching materials that often emphasize grammar, children’s literature provides a more comprehensive learning experience by integrating language and culture within narratives. This allows learners to envision scenes and characters, helping them understand words and expressions in real-life contexts. This study aims to discuss the rationale for incorporating Japanese children’s literature into Japanese language education. Children’s literature enriches the learning experience by serving as a meaningful bridge between language and culture. It also promotes communication skills, cultural awareness, and autonomous learning.

Abstract

With the growing demands of the hospitality industry, English proficiency is becoming essential for workers to succeed. As the industry expands, vocational high school students in hotel management programs are eager to join the professional field. However, a recent study shows there is not an English course specifically tailored to their needs in hospitality, despite the curriculum’s recommendations to use student-focused materials. This research, therefore, is designed as a needs analysis, an important first step in developing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, as outlined by Brown (2016). The study examines students' current English abilities in hospitality (Present Situation Analysis), compares them to industry requirements (Target Situation Analysis), identifies gaps, and explores student preferences for learning (Individual Differences and Classroom Learning Analysis). Findings indicate that hospitality students aim to improve their English skills, particularly in listening and speaking for front office, restaurant service, and housekeeping scenarios. However, their current proficiency falls short of meeting industry expectations in two of these three areas. Students also expressed preferences for task-based learning, role-play activities, a hands-on approach, video content, and small-group learning. The data includes interview excerpts, allowing future researchers to consider responses that may differ from the majority. This needs analysis highlights key areas to focus on when designing ESP materials that truly support students in meeting the demands of the hospitality industry.
