Focus and Scope Aims • The journal provides a formal, well-organised forum for non-native-English scholars to make new academic contributions to research and practice in ELT on a global basis. • The journal serves as a hosting space for both native and non-native academics to share ideas and become involved in novel dialogues, with an emphasis on under-researched areas in the field. Scopes • Local teachers’ beliefs about various aspects of ELT theory and practice • Fresh insights into current debates and controversial topics • Shared research findings from both teachers and scholars in ELT, especially from an outer circle perspective • Case studies in local contexts that enhance the localisation of academic theories in ELT (such as the practice of the lesson study model that originates outside of the inner circle) • Recognition of local teachers’ voices, which are less heard of in the inner-circle discourse, and their practical classroom ideas that are less common but important to not overlooked • Rethinking the transferability of ELT theories across global context (such as the communicative doctrine, the meaning of autonomy, the practice of verbal participation, etc.) • Practical classroom experiments in language education that would expand teachers’ knowledge and skills • Identifying gaps and addressing new topics that have not been strong focuses in previous research discourse in education (such as the use of silence in teaching, the improved alignment between pedagogy and assessment, etc.)

Abstract

Students today grow up with technology devices at home and school, which transform how they study. Future education technology will alter teaching and learning by making new gadgets available to teachers and students. Thus, the study was meant to explore the impact of multimedia technology-integrated instruction on upper primary students' critical reading learning in one of Indonesia's private schools. To further comprehend the outcomes, a mixed methods study was conducted. Purposive sampling was used to choose 30 pupils as research samples. For three months, the participants were taught at least three science sessions per week utilizing multimedia technology. Instruments such as open-ended questions and questionnaires were used to collect data. The quantitative results from the questionnaire were examined and inferred using an inferential statistical t-test and descriptive statistical mean and standard deviation with a significance level of p 0.05. The qualitative data from open-ended questions were analyzed using the grounded theory coding technique. According to the findings, students were incredibly satisfied with learning science through multimedia technology because it made the lessons easier to grasp and more likely to engage, easy, and interesting. As a result, the researchers concluded that introducing multimedia technology into education had a considerable positive influence on raising student learning satisfaction and improving critical reading skills The post-test scores in the group that utilized multimedia technology are noticeably higher when the two groups are compared.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the influence of crossword puzzles on vocabulary mastery among the second semester students of the English Education Department of Muhammadiyah University Metro. The design of this research is experimental, which means that the research method requires two variables to compare the influencing factors. The data were quantitative in nature. Data collection was performed through the implementation of pre-test and post-test. The research chose the second semester students of the English Education Department of Muhammadiyah University Metro as the population. The students were divided into two groups, namely experimental and control groups. The experimental group consisted of 16 students. The data were collected with the implementation of pre-test and post-test as the instruments. The data analysis showed that the mean score of the post-test was higher than that of the pre-test (85.12 > 50.50). It showed that the t ratio was higher than t table (16.651 > 2.131) and the sig. 2 tailed was lower than sig. level (0.000 < 0.05). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. This means that the use of crossword puzzles influences students' vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have played essential roles in the development of teachers. In recent years, AI-based digital writing assistants have received increasing attention among teachers. Thus, this study aims to know the use of AI-based digital writing assistants to help teachers write scientific articles. It used a sequential explanatory mixed methods study to gain the research data. Descriptive analysis was completed for the quantitative data, and thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data. The instrument used was surveys, consisting of pre and post-survey. Interestingly, the pre-survey found that teachers are not very familiar with digital writing assistants. Some of the participants had no prior knowledge of AI-assisted writing tools, while others only had limited experience. This means that more people need to be aware of the potential that AI offers in facilitating scientific writing. Furthermore, it is essential to teach teachers how to use this technology, as it can help them save time and effort while they write their articles. The post-survey conducted at the end of the project found that teachers found the process of writing a scientific article to be easier and more enjoyable with the help of AI. The results suggest that AI-based digital writing assistants may be able to provide an alternative method for teachers to compose their scientific articles. This tool could help to reduce errors and enable more efficient writing with greater accuracy. Additionally, the feedback suggests that AI-based tools could aid in improving students’ engagement and interest in writing.

Abstract

One of the most important aspects that must be included in ELT textbooks is culture. This research aims at exploring types of cultural contents and cultural elements. The subject of this research was English Textbook for grade XII entitled “Bahasa Inggris”. This research belongs to content analysis. Document observation was used to collect the data which were analyzed by using Miles & Huberman’s model and coding method. The research findings show that there were three types of culture found in this textbook, namely the source culture (66 times or 58%), target culture (34 times or 30%), and, international culture (14 times or 12%). Concerning the cultural elements, they were represented by product (39 times or 80%), person (9 times or 18%), and practice (1 times or 2%). Meanwhile, perspective was not represented. It implies that the textbook still focused on source cultures which were more easily internalized by the learners and on products which were the most concrete for learners to learn the culture. It is recommended that the authors of the textbook balance the cultural contents proportionally and the teachers creatively insert more target and international cultures to avoid cultural shocks.
