Abstract

This research investigates the influence of flipped learning on the engagement of adult participants in non-formal English language programs, considering diverse language proficiency levels. Employing a comprehensive methodology involving observations, interviews, and surveys, the study assesses engagement indicators and captures participants' perspectives. The incorporation of pre-class materials emerges as a significant contributor, empowering students to anticipate and prepare for in-person sessions, thereby fostering confidence and active participation in class discussions. The integration of collaborative group work further enhances engagement by introducing diverse viewpoints. Survey findings align with observations and interviews, affirming the effectiveness of the flipped learning model in augmenting student engagement. The approach also positively impacts students' perceptions of English learning, encouraging a deeper exploration of its practical relevance. This study highlights the crucial role of flipped learning in fostering dynamic and meaningful student engagement, offering valuable insights for educators seeking to optimize their teaching methodologies. Acknowledging limitations in sample size and educational context, the research emphasizes the necessity for future studies in more diverse settings.

Abstract

Creative narrative videos posted on YouTube have been proven to help students learn the narrative text and enhance students’ creativity toward making an excellent creative product. Along with the advantages, there are challenges and risks that teachers must consider since YouTube is an open-access video-sharing platform. This study aims to see whether narrative videos posted on YouTube meet creativity elements that can help ninth-grade junior high school students learn narrative text. This study used a qualitative method with content analysis to analyze fifteen narrative videos from three YouTube channels; Dongeng Kita, English Fairy Tales, and Gigglebox. The selected fifteen videos have been uploaded within the last seven years and are addressed to teenage viewers. Using the framework from D'Souza (2021), the findings show that the selected narrative videos fulfilled around 30% to 80% of the creativity elements. The audience immersive experience aspect, with a percentage of 45%, is the most dominant aspect of the narrative video's creativity elements. In contrast, the development and control aspect is the least in the creativity elements of narrative video, with a percentage of 25,5%. The narrative videos demonstrate diversity, a distinction or feature that distinguishes a narrative video from the previous version (narrative text). This study is expected to be a recommendation for teachers in choosing narrative videos on YouTube to support their teaching materials and simultaneously enhance students' creative thinking skills.

Abstract

The Curriculum and Material Development (CMD) course content is contextualized in accordance with technological advancements in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the community's need for educators who possess 21st-century skills. This revision involves integrating 21st-century skill values into curriculum development, syllabi, teaching materials, media, methods, and learning evaluation. Therefore, this study focuses on integrating 21st-century skills and 21st-century digital skills, including critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, communication, information literacy, media literacy, technology literacy, flexibility, initiative, social skills, productivity, and leadership, into the CMD course. This study employs the Research and Development method, which involves identifying the problem, describing existing issues, creating a design, validating the design with experts, revising the design of the English learning model, conducting trials, and making revisions. The study's outcomes include three areas of integrating 21st-century skills into the CMD course. The first area involves integrating 21st-century skills into the preliminary activity of designing lesson plans. Secondly, in the process, 21st-century skills should be integrated into the design of learning materials and tasks. Finally, after the activity, 21st-century skills should be integrated into the evaluation and reflection process. The CMD course aims to integrate 21st-century skills throughout the language curriculum. It covers Communicative Syllabus Design, Text-Based Syllabus Design, Product-Oriented Syllabus Design, Process-Oriented Syllabus Design, Content-Based Curriculum, Integrated Curriculum, EFL Curriculum, and EFL Syllabuses and Lesson Plans for Indonesian Students.

Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize various sectors, its application in education, particularly language learning, is gaining attention. AI tools offer new possibilities for personalized instruction, adaptive feedback, and time-efficient learning experiences, making them increasingly relevant in modern classrooms. However, while global research on AI-assisted language learning is expanding, there is still limited understanding of how AI integration is perceived at the classroom level, particularly in under-researched contexts such as rural or faith-based schools in Indonesia. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the perceptions of students and teachers at SMP 1 Nurul Basmalah regarding the use of AI in English language instruction. Using a qualitative approach through focus groups and interviews, the findings suggest that AI can save students’ time and offer personalized learning experiences through interactive engagement. However, concerns remain about teacher readiness and the reliance on electronic devices, emphasizing the need for professional development. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance of identifying both the strengths and limitations of AI in education, promoting ethical usage, and developing practical strategies to enhance learning outcomes and foster student creativity.

Abstract

As a widely established scale a standardized assessment of language competency in Europe as well as worldwide, CEFR provides a clear baseline for assessing language ability. However, its representation in videos on TikTok, as one of the most potential language learning platforms remained unexplored. This study seeks to examine communicative language strategies linked with the CEFR in TikTok videos. Using a qualitative method and ATLAS.ti software, the data were collected from 200 videos using the hashtags #learnenglish and #communicationstrategies. Production was recognized as the most common communication strategy, with planning appearing in 43 videos. Moreover, videos in the B1 level were the most frequent, appearing in 86 videos. The results suggest that a systematic strategy, as seen in TikTok videos, requires a well-designed learning plan that includes regular intervals for listening, speaking, reading, and writing practice. Future studies should encourage educators to adopt these practices, to promote successful language education.

Abstract

For students majoring in education, the teaching internship program is mandatory. Along with employing the Kurikulum Merdeka in schools, student teachers must also prepare to use it through the teaching internship program. This study aims to investigate student teachers’ readiness and challenges for the teaching internship program. This study employs both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to achieve its objectives. In all, 40 English Language Education Study Program student teachers batch 2020 at Universitas Negeri Jakarta completed questionnaires and participated in Focused Group Discussions focusing on their readiness and challenges based on key teaching competences, enabling competences, professional conduct, and personality. The research uncovered student teachers level of readiness and challenges in 'administration', 'methodology: knowledge and skills', 'assessment', and 'lesson and course preparation' to Kurikulum Merdeka as ‘developing readiness’ and ‘mostly challenging’. However, they perceived ‘approaching readiness’ and views them as ‘mostly not challenging’ aspects as in 'digital media implementation,' 'professional behavior', 'personality', and 'intercultural skills'. Because prior studies did not cover these areas all at once, the knowledge obtained through this research study applies locally.

Abstract

Textbooks serve as a primary source of knowledge and play a critical role in shaping students' perceptions of social norms, including gender roles. This raises the need to examine whether textbooks have actively supported gender equity or still reinforce traditional gender stereotypes. This research aims to analyze gender representation in a textbook using a quantitative approach and the gender representation grid developed by Brugeilles and Cromer (2009). The findings reveal a significant dominance of male characters in the representation within the textbook, indicating an imbalance in gender representation within the textbook. Moreover, male characters tend to be assigned roles that align with gender stereotypes prevailing in patriarchal societies. These findings carry significant implications for creating inclusive and diverse learning materials to ensure they reflect gender equality and diversity within society. By understanding and recognizing this imbalance, it is hoped that content developers will be motivated to produce more representative and gender-sensitive materials.

Abstract

Blended learning is widely implemented in EFL classrooms, with research highlighting its benefits for students and teachers, yet challenges in perception, interaction, and implementation remain underexplored. While studies acknowledge its positive impact, gaps persist in understanding its long-term effectiveness and the factors influencing successful adoption. This study examines the existing research on blended learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, focusing on the views and experiences of both students and teachers. An analysis of 30 published articles reveals that researchers have employed a range of methods, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed approaches, to collect data through questionnaires, interviews, and literature reviews. The findings suggest that both students and teachers have a positive outlook on blended learning, which is used to teach various English skills and involves the use of online platforms to assign different types of tasks. Effective interaction between students, teachers, and peers is crucial to the success of blended learning. The benefits of blended learning include improved English proficiency, enhanced learning behaviors, and developed digital skills. However, challenges such as technical difficulties, inadequate training, time management issues, and learner preparedness can hinder its implementation.

Abstract

As Vocational High School (VHS) students are prepared to work in certain fields, project-based learning (PjBL)becomes one of the teaching and learning methods that teachers can use to meet the expectations in the work field. Even though the effectiveness of PjBL implementation is related to how the teacher perceives the method, less attention is given to studies that focus on teachers' perceptions of the principles of PjBL. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the English teachers' perception of the PjBL method in terms of the objectives, principles, and teachers' roles. The descriptive case study was employed as the research design to answer the formulated research questions. Semi-structured interviews with English teachers at SMKN 26 Jakarta were conducted to collect the data. The findings show that all teachers have a good perception of the objectives of the PjBL method. Most teachers fully understand their role in the PjBL method. However, there was some misunderstanding in teachers' perception of the principle of challenging problems/questions and public products. 75% of the teachers did not see sustained inquiry and reflection as the principle of the PjBL method. Therefore, teacher professional development training related to the principles of the PjBL method needs more attention.

Abstract

Despite continuous efforts to improve education, Indonesia still faces challenges such as unequal access to quality education, disparities in learning outcomes, and persistent teacher shortages. While the government has introduced professional development programs like Pengembangan Keprofesian Berkelanjutan (PKB) to enhance teacher quality, the effectiveness of these initiatives remains underexplored. This study aims to discuss the effectiveness of professional development programs in improving teacher competencies and addressing teacher shortages. This qualitative case analysis examines the challenges in the supply and quality of teachers in Indonesia, highlighting systemic issues and proposing a comprehensive approach to improve teacher qualifications, resource allocation, and policy implementation. The findings indicate that professional development programs significantly enhance both pedagogical and professional competencies, with blended learning models proving to be the most effective in supporting teacher development. However, challenges related to teacher recruitment and retention persist, particularly in replacing retiring educators. These results suggest the importance of continuous evaluation and adaptation of teacher development programs like PKB to sustain educational quality and effectively address teacher shortages across Indonesia.
