Abstract

Creativity plays a crucial role in innovation, problem-solving, and both individual and societal advancement, enabling individuals to generate novel ideas, develop effective solutions, and approach challenges with adaptability. The SCAMPER technique is used to foster creative and innovative thinking, providing a structured method for idea generation and refinement. SCAMPER encompasses seven creative strategies: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to Another Use, Eliminate, and Reverse. This study examines students' perceptions of SCAMPER in developing creative writing skills within English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes. A qualitative case study method was employed, involving second-semester students from the Informatics Engineering Study Program enrolled in Intermediate English courses. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, providing insights into students’ experiences with SCAMPER in writing procedural texts. The findings reveal that the SCAMPER technique enhances creativity, cognitive flexibility, and innovation in writing, enabling students to produce varied and explorative texts. Furthermore, the approach supports critical thinking and deeper idea exploration. Although some students struggled with adapting to the creative thinking process, the overall response to SCAMPER was positive, highlighting its potential as an effective tool in ESP learning environments.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores how Indonesian vocational school teachers integrate digital technology into English language teaching (ELT) and whether such practices align with the Global Englishes (GE) paradigm. Framed by Global Englishes theory, language ideology, and Technology-Enhanced Language Learning, the research addresses two core questions: (1) How is technology currently integrated into English teaching in vocational schools? and (2) What are the benefits and challenges faced by teachers in using technology to support the GE paradigm? .Data from interviews with four teachers in Jember, East Java, reveal that while tools like YouTube, WhatsApp, and Canva are widely used, their application tends to reinforce traditional norms rather than expose students to diverse English varieties. Challenges include exam-focused curricula, limited training, and native-speaker biases. The study proposes the Techno-Pedagogical Global Englishes (TPGE) framework to analyze how technology can both support and constrain GE-based pedagogy. Findings highlight the need for reflective teacher training and curricular reform to promote more inclusive, real-world English learning.

Abstract

Film, in its narrowest definition, refers to the presentation of images on a large screen; however, in a broader context, it may also encompass those broadcast on television. As a mass medium, film is a complex form of audiovisual art. This study employs Roland Barthes' semiotic approach to explore the symbolic significance of the jasmine ronce necklace in Ryan Adriandy's film "Jumbo." The analysis is conducted through two levels: denotation and connotation, along with the concept of myth. The jasmine ronce necklace is interpreted not merely as a physical object but as a cultural and ideological signifier. Findings from this study reveal that the jasmine ronce necklace embodies spiritual meaning, the sanctity of love, and emotional depth, which together construct cultural myths within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Previous studies on the assessment of academic speaking skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context have predominantly emphasized fluency and accuracy as key performance criteria, yet limited attention has been given to empirically examining their suitability as indicators of overall academic speaking proficiency, particularly at the university level. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to investigate the extent to which fluency and accuracy function as key indicators in assessing university-level EFL students’ academic speaking proficiency. A quantitative research method with a correlational design was employed, involving 60 students enrolled in an Academic Speaking course who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through recordings of academic presentation tasks and analyzed using an assessment rubric based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The results revealed a significant positive correlation between levels of fluency and accuracy and overall academic speaking proficiency scores. These findings provide empirical evidence of the suitability of fluency and accuracy as indicators in academic speaking assessment. The study highlights the importance of integrating assessment rubrics that place greater emphasis on fluency and accuracy in the teaching and evaluation of academic speaking skills.

Abstract

Drama-based instruction is widely recognized as an effective approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, particularly in enhancing communicative competence and learner engagement. However, its implementation in secondary and tertiary education remains inconsistent, and existing studies are often fragmented and context-specific. This study aims to synthesize recent literature on the roles, impacts, and challenges of drama-based learning in secondary and tertiary EFL classrooms. Using a qualitative library research design, this study analyzed 15 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings published between 2020 and 2025 through thematic content analysis. The findings indicate that drama-based instruction supports language development, especially in improving speaking fluency, pronunciation, and communicative competence, while also enhancing learner motivation, confidence, creativity, and collaboration. Nevertheless, challenges such as limited instructional time, large class sizes, insufficient teacher training, and students’ reluctance to perform persist. The study highlights the pedagogical value of drama-based instruction and calls for greater institutional support, teacher professional development, and flexible curriculum design to optimize its implementation in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Although English instruction in Indonesian vocational high schools is formally framed as ESP, teaching materials and practices often remain generic and poorly aligned with students’ occupational needs. Addressing the limited ESP needs-analysis research on Office Administration programs, particularly in regional contexts, this study examines the English learning needs of vocational high school students in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive needs-analysis design, the study involved 70 Grade X students selected through total population sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire based on established ESP and needs-analysis frameworks and were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that students primarily require English for workplace oral communication, yet their proficiency remains at a basic level, with significant deficiencies in speaking, listening, and vocabulary mastery, as well as grammar-related difficulties in writing. These results reveal a clear mismatch between students’ communicative goals and their current language competence. The study highlights the necessity of ESP-oriented English instruction that prioritizes communicative tasks, job-related vocabulary, and functional grammar relevant to administrative contexts. The findings offer empirical guidance for curriculum design and instructional material development in vocational education.
