Abstract

This study examines the strategies used by English teachers at SMAN 1 Barru to promote students’ motivation in learning English. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through classroom observations and interviews with teachers. The findings identify two main strategies: Active Learning and Reward Strategies. Active Learning includes group discussions, gamified quizzes, and brainstorming, which encourage student engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking. Reward Strategies involve social rewards such as verbal praise and public recognition, as well as material rewards like certificates and bonus points, all aimed at reinforcing positive learning behaviors. These strategies have significantly increased student motivation, resulting in higher levels of participation, confidence, and enthusiasm in English classes. The study offers useful insights for educators and suggests further research on the long-term impact of these strategies and additional methods to sustain motivation in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This research aims (1) to find out the activities carried out by English teachers using Platform Merdeka Mengajar at MAN Pinrang to improve their pedagogical competence, and (2) to explore the perception of English teachers in using Platform Merdeka Mengajar at MAN Pinrang to improve their pedagogical competence. In this study, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative method. Three teachers who use Platform Merdeka Mengajar were selected as participants. Data were collected through observations and interviews. The results showed that there are several activities carried out by teachers in using Platform Merdeka Mengajar, namely in terms of developing lesson plans, improving self-development, using technology in the teaching process, and utilizing Platform Merdeka Mengajar features such as teaching tools (modules, teacher manuals student books), inspirational video, and portfolio evidence. Teachers utilize these features to find references in designing lesson plans and to find inspiration and creative learning methods. The perceptions of teachers using Platform Merdeka Mengajar to improve their competence are that teachers can easily access the various features provided. The available features are also beneficial in improving their competence by providing various references, such as modules and various best practice videos that can be used to adjust learning methods. This finding improves English teachers’ pedagogical competence, especially in adjusting learning methods and finding references. In addition, several obstacles are experienced in using Platform Merdeka Mengajar, such as the account used to access the platform being deleted and experiencing network constraints that are sometimes less stable. This shows the importance of improving infrastructure and technical management to maximize and ensure that the platform’s potential can be fully utilized to improve teachers’ pedagogical competence.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the lack of references regarding the implementation of the Autonomous Learning Approach in English teaching and learning (ETL) for the Travel Industry Study Program at UHN IGBS Denpasar. The purpose of this study was to explore the implementation of the Collaborative Autonomous Learning Model (CoALM), which emerged from the execution of the Autonomous Learning Approach in ETL for students in the Travel Industry Study Program of UHN IGBS Denpasar; the research utilized a qualitative approach, employing grounded theory methods and data triangulation analysis; the findings indicated that the students' efforts to implement Autonomous Learning in their English practice and studies led to the development of a collaborative learning environment. This collaboration arose from the students' engagement in practical language application within the field. It represented a natural form of autonomous language learning that yielded mutual benefits for both students and foreign tourists, ultimately resulting in the creation of the Collaborative Autonomous Learning Model (CoALM), which is student-directed; the research findings were analyzed and concluded based on data collected from various sources and locations, which presented certain constraints. Therefore, it is suggested that future researchers explore this area of study using a broader range of data sources and locations.

Abstract

As evidence-based practice in English Language Teaching (ELT) grows, postgraduate students' quantitative research proficiency is critical. However, students from humanities backgrounds often exhibit significant apprehension. This mixed-methods study conducted a needs analysis to explore the self-efficacy, attitudes, and learning needs of 30 incoming Master's students in an Indonesian ELT program before a mandatory quantitative methodology course. Data were collected via a questionnaire with quantitative scales and qualitative open-ended questions. Findings reveal a paradox: students perceive quantitative skills as highly useful for their careers (M=4.57) but report high anxiety (M=4.10) and low self-efficacy in statistical tasks (M=2.13). Qualitative themes indicate that anxiety is rooted in past experiences and exacerbated by a reluctance to seek help. Motivation is highly instrumental, focused on thesis completion. The study concludes that this cohort is pragmatically motivated but emotionally and technically underprepared, necessitating a pedagogy that explicitly addresses anxiety and builds practical, thesis-relevant skills.

Abstract

Academic writing is a cornerstone of higher education, yet for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, it presents significant challenges related to linguistic competence, genre mastery, and writing anxiety. This study investigates the impact of a novel pedagogical model integrating Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Positive Psychology (PP) on multiple dimensions of student engagement. The study was conducted within a compulsory "Academic Writing for Professionals" course for English Literature students at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM). Employing a mixed-methods, quasi-experimental design with 65 third-year students, the intervention group (n=33) engaged with the PjBL-PP model, while a comparison group (n=32) followed a traditional curriculum. Data were collected via pre- and post-tests measuring academic writing self-efficacy, writing apprehension, and a multi-dimensional student engagement scale (cognitive, behavioral, emotional). Qualitative data from project portfolios and semi-structured interviews were used to explore these dimensions and the concept of social presence. ANCOVA results showed the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement, and higher self-efficacy (p < .001), alongside a significant reduction in writing apprehension (p < .001). Qualitative analysis revealed how the model fostered deep cognitive processing through authentic tasks, promoted sustained behavioral effort, created a positive emotional climate, and established a strong sense of social presence. This study provides a robust framework for transforming academic writing instruction, demonstrating that the synergy of PjBL and PP cultivates the holistic engagement necessary for EFL students to become confident and competent professional writers.

Abstract

Research in second language acquisition (SLA) has undergone a significant affective turn over the last decade, with a burgeoning interest in the role of positive emotions in the learning process. In line with this shift, Positive Psychology (PP), as the scientific study of human well-being and flourishing, has emerged as a promising framework for enhancing language learner motivation, engagement, and performance. However, while research on the application of PP in SLA generally has grown rapidly, its application within the nuanced and socially embedded domain of Sociolinguistics pedagogy remains critically underexplored. This systematic review aims to bridge that gap by synthesizing the relevant literature from 2015 to 2025. It proposes a theoretical framework for integrating PP principles into sociolinguistic pedagogy. The central argument is that the core concepts of PP, particularly Seligman's PERMA model (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment), offer a powerful analytical lens not only for enhancing communicative and intercultural competence but also for actively fostering positive language attitudes and creating inclusive, supportive classroom environments. By mapping the conceptual synergy between PP's goal of promoting well-being and sociolinguistics' goal of understanding language in social context, this review articulates a transformative pedagogy. This pedagogy moves beyond the critical analysis of linguistic phenomena toward the active cultivation of the psychological strengths necessary for students to navigate and positively contribute to a linguistically diverse world. The review concludes by outlining a detailed future research agenda to empirically validate the proposed synthesis and to spur the development of a more humanistic and empowering sociolinguistic pedagogy.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of critical reading tasks to enhance the reading comprehension, engagement, and strategy use of Indonesian vocational high school students. A total of 36 eleventh-grade students at SMK Negeri 10 Makassar participated in two cycles of Classroom Action Research (CAR), incorporating tasks such as prediction, annotation, questioning, summarizing, and retelling. Data were collected through observations, student questionnaires, teacher interviews, and student work samples, and analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings revealed that critical reading tasks led to significant improvements in students' ability to identify main ideas, make inferences, and summarize texts. Additionally, students exhibited increased engagement and reduced reliance on dictionaries. The study highlights the value of structured reading tasks in promoting active reading and collaborative learning, while also identifying ongoing challenges related to vocabulary acquisition. The research provides practical insights for EFL teachers in vocational settings, demonstrating that critical reading strategies can foster higher-order thinking skills, enhance comprehension, and transform reading into an interactive, meaning-making process. The study concludes with recommendations for future research, including the exploration of vocabulary support and the application of critical reading tasks in other educational contexts.
