Abstract

This study intended to describe the strategies of English teachers with tour guide experiences used in teaching English and the effects of teachers’ experiences as a tour guide on their teaching. The research used a qualitative research method which implemented a case study approach. The procedures of data collection were observation and interview. Technique of data analysis were data condensation, data display, and verification and conclusion. The result of the data showed that there were 8 (eight) cognitive strategies and 3 (three) metacognitive strategies that teachers used in their teaching. The cognitive strategies include repetition, resourcing, translation, note-taking, elaboration, imagery, and inferencing whereas, whilst, the metacognitive strategies encompass setting learning objectives, creating study plans, and monitoring comprehension and production. Moreover, the effects of English teachers’ experiences as tour guides on their teaching include the teachers' concerns to help students be familiar with several accents and help them understand variations in pronunciation and intonation, then minimizing confusion when students are faced with various accents. Another effect is the process of running the class in which the teachers occasionally involve tourists in classroom activities. Because of this, students can speak directly with them, and improve their English speaking, listening, and understanding skills with authentic accents.

Abstract

A common issue faced in the English study program is students' lack of understanding in listening, as evidenced by low scores in the listening section of the TOEFL test. Additionally, students often engage in activities requiring strong listening skills to comprehend speakers and interact effectively with others. To address this, researchers have chosen Spotify as a tool for enhancing listening skills due to its accessibility at any time and place. This study aimed to explore students' perceptions and development while using Spotify for listening practice. Utilizing qualitative methods and purposive sampling, as only a few students use Spotify, the findings revealed that most respondents strongly agreed or agreed that Spotify is an effective medium for improving their listening skills. Positive feedback from interview responses further supports the idea that Spotify is a suitable tool for listening practice. The study's results indicate that respondents have a positive perception of Spotify as a medium for listening practice, as it offers a wide variety of songs and podcasts across different genres. Respondents predominantly agreed that Spotify helps improve their English skills, particularly in listening and vocabulary, while also providing a comfortable and motivating environment for learning.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effect of the Kampus Mengajar program on pre-service teachers’ teaching competencies. In this study, the data collection technique used was semi-structured interviews, where semi-structured interviews are interviews that combine structured interviews and unstructured interviews. Based on the research question, what is the effect of the Kampus Mengajar program on pre-service teachers' teaching competencies. In this study, 15 interviewees who had participated in the Kampus Mengajar program were taken, and they were given interview questions regarding 4 aspects of teaching competence: pedagogic, personality, professional, and social. The research findings show that the results of interviews conducted with 15 interviewees show that the percentage of interviewees who answered “YES” to 17 questions regarding 4 aspects of teaching competence is more dominant than those who answered “NO”, namely 12 people out of 17 questions with a percentage of 100%, which shows that the Kampus Mengajar program has a positive effect on pre-service teachers’ teaching competencies. The Kampus Mengajar program significantly enhances prospective teachers' teaching competence by providing hands-on experience, improving pedagogical, personal, professional, and social skills essential for effective teaching. Participants reported gains in lesson planning, learning evaluation, empathetic behavior, mastery of subject matter, and collaborative teaching. However, challenges such as limited evaluation experience, short interaction periods, and difficulties with curriculum mastery highlight areas for improvement to maximize the program's impact.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the learning strategies used by students in acquiring vocabulary through TikTok, the hurdles that they face, and how they overcome them utilizing the Oxford’s (1990) theory. This study is designed to use a qualitative descriptive method. The majority of the data in this study are collected through focus group discussions (FGDs), questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of this study consist 66 of eighth-grade students at SMPN 1 Mataram who use TikTok for vocabulary acquisition. The analysis reveals that the overall use of learning strategies in acquiring vocabulary through TikTok is at a medium level, with an average score of 2.73. The most frequently used strategy is the affective strategy, with an average score of 3.06. Meanwhile the least utilized strategy is the social strategy, with an average score of 2.04. Other strategies include memory (3.05), cognitive (2.87), compensation (2.87), and metacognitive strategies (2.52). Furthermore, the findings indicate that the most common hurdles faced by students include difficulties in understanding vocabulary, reported by 30% of the students, followed by a lack of detailed explanations (20%), variability in content quality (18%), and inaccurate subtitles (14%). Students primarily overcome these hurdles by using additional tools (27%), followed by asking experts (18%), repeating videos (15%), and seeking other videos (11%). The implications of these findings suggest that enhancing students’ awareness of effective learning strategies and improving content quality could significantly benefit vocabulary acquisition through digital platforms.

Abstract

In the era of global competition, enhancing English language skills is critical, and project-based learning (PjBL) presents a potential model to improve student engagement and language competence. This qualitative case study, conducted at SMPN 1 Jonggat in Central Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, examines English teachers' perceptions of PjBL, focusing on its effectiveness, challenges, and implementation strategies. Using a purposive sample of three English teachers who employ PjBL in their classrooms, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and close-ended questionnaires to capture detailed insights into teachers' attitudes and experiences with PjBL. Semi-structured interviews allowed for in-depth exploration of teachers' subjective experiences, while questionnaires provided structured data on specific aspects of PjBL’s implementation. Data were analyzed following Miles and Huberman's three-step process—data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification—to systematically interpret findings. This study contributes valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance English language teaching through PjBL, offering a framework for understanding both the benefits and challenges of PjBL from teachers’ perspectives in a secondary school context. Findings are expected to support improved teaching strategies and contribute to more effective English education practices.

Abstract

Learning English for VHS students should be directed at mastering the ability to use English for communication in their respective fields. However, field observations show that the ability to use English remains a challenge for most VHS students due to various obstacles. This study aims to develop an innovative teaching module model to support the implementation of teaching English for Vocational Schools (TEVHS). This is qualitative reserach using survey method. It was conducted at VHS in Mataram Lombok, involving 23 English teachers from VHS English Teachers’ Forum (MGMP VHS). The data were collected using triangulation techniques such as a questionnaire, focus group discussion (FGD), ducummentary. The collected data were then analyzed qualitatively using Miles & Hubbermen’s Model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Based on the analysis, the conclusions are as follows: (1) English learning for VHS students needs to be reconstructed to meet the demands of the workforce. With the diverse requirements of various occupations, the design of TEVHS must be based on the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) approach; (2) TEVHS must be designed to instill communication skills by providing various inputs from receptive skills (Listening, Reading, and Viewing) which can be used as models for language production (Speaking, Reading, Presenting). To enhance innovation in learning, it is recommended that the design of TEVHS integrate such approach and model as ESP, Whole-Part-Whole, and TPACK to overcome various problems.

Abstract

This study was a stylistic analysis aimed at delineating the different social predicaments embedded in the ten (10) song compositions of GLOC-9. Particularly, it sought to: (1) identify the linguistic levels used in cascading the message and style of the songs along with semantics, lexicogrammar, phonology, and acoustic phonetics; (2) determine the stylistic devices under figures of speech used in the songs; (3) define the thematic levels presented in the songs along with the thematic concept and thematic statement; (4) specify the values or morals conveyed in the songs; and (5) discuss the social predicaments embedded in the songs. To further strategize the data gathering, the researchers used the Hallidayan Systemic-Functional Linguistic Theory in order to extract the different linguistic levels in the songs. Thus, the researchers found out that the social predicaments embedded in the song compositions that depicted social realities were: (1) social injustice; (2) violence; (3) prostitution; (4) drug addiction; (5) corruption; (6) gender discrimination; (7) killing; (8) poverty; and (9) brain drain mentality. Ergo, the results being demarcated in this study may help cultivate social awareness and provide positive implications in terms of transcending the minds of every Filipino, which is a crucial determinant in society and more especially in that of the nation.
