Abstract

This quasi-experimental study investigated the impact of Project-Based Learning (PBL) on the English-speaking skills of Grade 9 students at Angsilapittayakom School in Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). Recognizing the critical role of English proficiency in accessing global economic opportunities, the study compared PBL with traditional Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) methods. Seventy-seven students participated, with 39 in the experimental group engaging in PBL and 38 in the control group receiving CLT-based instruction. The intervention spanned eight weeks during the 2024 academic year. Research instruments included PBL and CLT lesson plans, along with pre- and post-tests measuring English-speaking skills. Data were analysed using paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that the experimental group’s post-test speaking skills improved significantly compared to their pre-test scores (p < .01). Additionally, the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in post-test speaking skills (p < .01), demonstrating the effectiveness of PBL in fostering language acquisition. This study provided evidence that PBL could revolutionize English instruction by promoting active, inquiry-driven learning and addressing the limitations of traditional methods. PBL not only enhanced language proficiency but also better prepared students for real-world communication in dynamic economic contexts like the EEC. These findings offered valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking innovative, skill-focused pedagogies aligned with 21st-century educational goals. Moreover, the results will be beneficial to language teachers worldwide, offering a practical framework to improve language learning outcomes and equip students for future success in globalized environments.

Abstract

Reading is a fundamental skill essential for academic success and lifelong learning. It serves as the foundation for acquiring knowledge, developing critical thinking, and fostering creativity. Despite its importance, many learners face challenges in developing strong reading skills, often influenced by various factors such as reading attitudes. Understanding these factors is crucial for designing effective interventions that enhance literacy outcomes. This study explored the relationship between reading attitude and reading competence among Grade 4 learners. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational design, the research examined how pupils’ reading attitude correlates with their reading competence. A total of 60 Grade 4 pupils were surveyed, and their reading competence and reading attitude were evaluated through standardized tools— Phil-IRI (Philippine Informal Reading Inventory) and ERAS (Elementary Reading Attitude Survey). The findings revealed a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.48) with a computed p-value of <.01 between reading attitude and reading competence, highlighting the importance of fostering a positive attitude to improve literacy skills. The study advocates for a comprehensive reading program that nurtures positive attitudes toward reading to enhance both reading competence and learning outcomes.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines strategies for improving speaking proficiency in Indonesian Language for Foreign Learners (ILFL) through culturally integrated instruction. Using qualitative data from interviews with 15 learners and 10 instructors, five key strategies were identified: task-based learning, cultural immersion, peer interaction, constructive feedback, and multimedia use. These methods provide learners with real-life contexts, reduce speaking anxiety, and build confidence. Cultural immersion, in particular, enhances learners’ understanding of Indonesian society and supports meaningful communication. Peer activities promote collaboration and fluency, while multimedia resources expose learners to natural speech and varied accents. The findings confirm the value of integrating cultural content into ILFL teaching practices. This study recommends incorporating these strategies into ILFL curriculum and teacher training programs to foster both linguistic and intercultural competence among learners.

Abstract

Indonesia curriculum indicates that the nature of literacy in Indonesia has expanded beyond the traditional domains of language instruction (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing) to encompass multimodal communication, with a focus on strengthening students' critical viewing and presenting skills. This study aims to contribute to this growing area of research by assessing the level of digital literacy skills among senior high school students. Using the analytical framework, this qualitative case study illuminates how students engaged in multiliteracy pedagogy from receptive skills to productive skills. In total, 210 students of second grade participated, of which 100% living in city area. Data include classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with students, and digital work. Results of digital work analyses showed the average level of literacy skills among teenagers in urban area is at low level. However, data also showed that students experienced meaningful practice of multiliteracy and critical thinking. Students experienced four dimensions of multiliteracy pedagogy and improved their critical thinking. Time is the key to reconcile prior experiences and common conceptions of language and language learning with the sophisticated, scientific definition of literacy that leads to the challenge of bringing the many facets and tenets of literacy together into a conceptual whole. Researcher suggests that EFL teachers find ways for learners to become multiliterate communicators with learning experiences of multiliteracy in English classes.

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) study investigates the impact of the Quick Maker method (Quizizz Cara Kertas Memakai Atribut Kemerdekaan dan Stiker) on student engagement and narrative text literacy. Conducted with 34 students from one class at a senior high school in Tanjungbalai, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The research followed Stringer's (2007) "spiral of action research" framework, incorporating two cycles of intervention. In the first cycle, the average student engagement score increased from 3.2 to 3.7 on a 5-point scale, with the percentage of students who felt highly engaged rising from 25% to 40%. After adjustments and improvements in the second cycle, the engagement score further increased to 4.1, with 60% of students reporting high engagement. Similarly, narrative text test scores improved from an average of 70 before the intervention, to 77 after the first cycle, and 85 following the second cycle. The method involved incorporating independence-themed attributes, such as hats to instill a sense of nationalism, while motivational stickers were awarded to the top 15 students in both cycles. This student-centered approach effectively increased student participation, fostered peer learning, and enhanced narrative text literacy. The results demonstrate that integrating interactive technology with motivational tools can significantly improve student engagement and performance in reading literacy.

Abstract

All around the world, colleges and universities have serious concerns about academic writing. All university and college students, especially those studying English as a second language (EFL), need to generate various textual forms for their academic education. Higher education students who do not communicate English as their native language encounter many linguistic, discursive, and cognitive difficulties when there is an educational requirement to publish academic writing in a reputable international journal. They suffer enormous barriers concerning their viewpoints as well. The purpose of this study is to investigate the particular writing experiences employed by graduate students in the English education program and assess how these practices influence their thesis and other scholarly publications. This research followed Barkhuizen et al.’s (2013) narrative inquiry paradigm. Through WhatsApp, the students engaged in several lengthy semi-structured interviews that were continued by such focus group discussions. We scrutinized and looked at their scholarly articles and theses in these dialogic interactions for two months, among other forms of English scholarly work. This research revealed that participants encountered conflict and tensions in their writing practices, particularly within specialties that require critical and suitable attention. Conjectured narratives of personal encounters in this research would be utilized as a guidance document to help evaluate students' English academic writing habits to meet their intended results. This has ramifications for how English research and educational writing is understood.

Abstract

Students' weak critical thinking skills cause low literacy skills. With the growth of technology, literacy skills now include not only reading but also writing, speaking, listening, viewing, understanding, and presenting information in dai-ly life. This study aims to describe the concept of See, Think, Wonder thinking routines and the stages of implementing the routines to train junior high school students' viewing skills in English subjects within Merdeka Curriculum (Ku-rikulum Merdeka). A descriptive research method with Miles and Huberman’s (2014) analytical framework was applied. The results showed that the See, Think, Wonder thinking routine encourages students to make careful observa-tions and thoughtful interpretations. By fostering curiosity and critical think-ing, the routine helps students move beyond surface-level observations to gen-erate more meaningful insights and interpretations. The implementation stages of See Think Wonder thinking routines in English subjects include analyzing Learning Outcomes (Capaian Pembelajaran), formulating Learning Objectives (Tujuan Pembelajaran/TP), and compiling Learning Objective Flow (Alur Tujuan Pembelajaran/ATP), preparing Teaching Modules (Modul Ajar/MA). The process of See, Thinking, Wonder thinking routines implementation involves pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation stages. To op-timize results, students should engage in reading activities both at school and at home.
