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.)

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

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.
