Abstract

This study examines the evolving role of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in the context of curriculum changes in Indonesia. The research addresses two key objectives: (1) to describe the characteristics of effective English teachers and (2) to identify the traits of ineffective English teachers. As educational reforms in Indonesia prompt shifts in teaching strategies, understanding these characteristics is critical to fostering improved learning outcomes in the EFL classroom. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, this study employs an interpretive approach to gather and analyze data. Qualitative research, in this context, attempts to describe and explain the teaching phenomena as they occur naturally. The study relies on interviews, observations, and document analysis to collect data, which is presented descriptively rather than numerically. The findings highlight the importance of adaptive teaching methods, pedagogical skills, and student-centered learning approaches in shaping the effectiveness of English teachers. Conversely, ineffective teachers tend to lack adaptability, demonstrate poor classroom management, and fail to engage students actively in the learning process. The significance of this research lies in its potential to inform teacher training programs and professional development initiatives. By providing a clear delineation between effective and ineffective teaching practices, the study offers valuable insights into how teachers can better align their methods with contemporary curriculum demands. This, in turn, can lead to enhanced critical thinking and language skills among EFL students in Indonesia. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on EFL teaching in Indonesia and underscores the need for continuous adaptation in teaching methodologies to meet evolving educational standards.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out the effects of the KWL method on reading comprehension skills, specifically to determine if there is a difference in reading comprehension between students taught using the KWL Strategy and those who are not. This study was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Mamasa over the course of one month (4 meetings), with two groups: an experimental group and a control group, totaling 72 participants (36 in each group). The treatment was applied to the Experimental group, while the Control group did not receive it. The study used SPSS to analyze the data to determine the differences in scores between the experimental and control groups. The result of the Independent Samples t-test shows a significance (2-tailed) value < 0.05, specifically 0.000, indicating a significant difference between the Experimental group and the Control group. This outcome signifies that the use of the Know, Want, and Learn method has led to a statistically significant improvement in students' reading comprehension at SMA Negeri 1 Mamasa.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative approach that focuses on an in-depth analysis of Langston Hughes' poem The Weary Blues, with the aim of exploring and understanding the use of literary devices in the work. The main analytical framework used is L.G. Alexander's theory, which classifies literary devices into three main categories: structural devices, sound devices, and sense devices. The main methodology applied in this study is the close reading technique, which enables in-depth identification and analysis of the various literary devices used by Hughes. In addition, the analysis takes into account the historical and cultural background of the Harlem Renaissance era, which greatly influenced Hughes' works. The primary source of this research is the thoroughly analyzed text of the poem The Weary Blues, as well as various secondary sources that discuss Hughes' work and African-American modernist poetry. The research also integrates aspects of reader response theory to understand how the literary devices used by Hughes influence readers' interpretation and appreciation of his poetry. The results of the analysis show that the use of complex and interrelated literary devices, such as repetition, rhyme, and imagery, enriches the reader's multisensory experience, thereby enhancing understanding and appreciation of the poem. The findings emphasize the importance of more effective educational approaches to teaching poetry analysis as well as learning strategies that can deepen readers' engagement with literary texts.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the self-confidence levels of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in terms of their speaking performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quantitative descriptive method. The sample of the study consists of twenty-eight EFL students from the English Language Education study program, at Universitas Negeri Makassar using cluster random sampling. The data collection technique used a questionnaire as an instrument. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25 to find out the frequency and percentage distributions and to identify common patterns in self-confidence levels. Additionally, the mean score is calculated to provide a quantitative measure of the overall self-confidence among the respondents. The findings of the data analysis revealed that the level of EFL students’ self-confidence in speaking performance is at a high enough level with a score of 76.51. As a result, this study highlights the importance of self-confidence issues in EFL teaching practices and suggests that fostering a supportive learning environment could enhance students’ speaking performance and overall language proficiency.

Overall, students have positive and negative perceptions of the effectiveness of online learning in intensive speaking courses. The students revealed that online learning in intensive speaking courses had positive and negative impacts on their learning process. Positive perceptions of online learning in intensive speaking courses include 1) increasing skills, 2) flexibility, and 3) increasing self-confidence. In contrast, the negative perceptions found from online learning in intensive speaking courses are 1) non-technical constraints, 2) technical constraints, and 3) lack of interaction.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify and describe factors affecting the students’ readiness in studying English for Specific Purposes at the Business English Communication Program. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The informants in this study were four students at the Business English Communication Program who were selected purposively. This study used interview questions to collect the data. Based on the research results, there are three factors affecting the students’ learning readiness, namely physical conditions (including a healthy diet and regular exercise), learning motivation (career development and the importance of feeling comfortable and confident are the biggest motivations for students in participating in ESP learning), and learning materials (searching for additional information and sources, as well as applying learning materials in real-life contexts in each student's field). It can be concluded that physical and mental health, a high motivation to learn, and active seeking for additional resources are required to apply in learning courses of English for Specific Purposes.
