Abstract

Writing is one of the productive skills of English language learning that requires the ability to develop and organize ideas in a logical sequence. However, many students still have problems with writing a recount text. Their writing is often incoherent and not in a logical sequence of events. This problem highlights the need for new learning media that can assist students' writing processes. This study examined the effectiveness of the Inklewriter website in increasing students' recount text writing skill. The Inklewriter website is an interactive digital media platform applied throughout the entire writing process. The Inklewriter website is used for planning ideas, structuring text, and editing. This study employed a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design with purposive sampling. According to the data analysis, the Independent Sample T-test yielded a significance value <0.001, indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. In addition, the increase in the experimental group's writing skill after using the Inklewriter Website was also determined to be significant, based on the effect size with a value of 1.519. The study demonstrates that utilizing the Inklewriter Website is effective in increasing students' recount text writing skills. This study shows that the Inklewriter Website, as a learning media, effectively increases students' recount text writing skill. The researcher also suggests that teachers and further study should examine the application of the Inklewriter Website to teach writing skill using other texts or in more specific contexts.

Abstract

This research describes the integration of Indonesian culture into English Language Teaching (ELT). This research is library research. The analysis shows that integrating Indonesian culture into English learning is crucial supported by the nation's commitment to "Unity in Diversity" and the preservation of cultural richness across all societal sectors including education. This integration deepens students' understanding of English proficiency and Indonesian cultural values. English teachers play a dual role in fostering language acquisition and imparting local cultural insights to cultivate students who appreciate heritage. They can integrate Indonesian culture into ELT including: Firstly, including using Indonesian folk tales, traditional songs, and arts to enhance language skills including vocabulary, grammar, listening, and pronunciation through projects and theater. Analyzing Indonesian films with English subtitles enriches students' cultural comprehension. Secondly, discussions and explorations of Indonesian values and philosophies alongside studies on traditional ceremonies and cuisine, highlight the cultural context within language learning. Practical language skills are honed through everyday use of Indonesian phrases, role simulations in cultural contexts, and integration of Indonesian loanwords into English vocabulary. Thirdly, collaborative projects on cultural festivals, dances, and art exhibitions promote teamwork and deepen cultural understanding through English presentations. Using guest lectures and partnerships with local communities facilitates direct interaction and experiential learning. Fourthly, technology and media are leveraged to explore Indonesian culture in English, using documentaries, social media, podcasts, and student-generated content like podcasts and vlogs to enhance language proficiency and cultural appreciation. Lastly, contextually based evaluations assess students' comprehension of Indonesian culture through simulated interactions, reflective journals, real-life case studies, critical thinking, and practical application of cultural knowledge in English contexts. Integrating Indonesian culture into ELT can enhance language skills across reading, writing, listening, and speaking and develop students' cultural competence. This approach prepares them as culturally sensitive global citizens capable of effective cross-cultural communication and appreciation.

Abstract

This study examines the moral values embedded in the Western children’s narrative Pinocchio and evaluates their compatibility with Indonesian cultural ethics. While Western stories have long been introduced into Indonesian classrooms and media, limited research has critically analyzed how their underlying cultural norms interact with local values. Using qualitative content analysis based on Ary et al.’s research framework, this study analyzed five thematic constructs found in Pinocchio—honesty, obedience to parents, responsibility, helping others, and identity formation—against Indonesian moral principles rooted in budi pekerti, communal harmony, filial duty, and social responsibility. Findings indicate that although Pinocchio shares universal virtues relevant to Indonesian culture, tensions arise in how these values are conveyed. Western narratives frame moral development as individualistic self-realization through rebellion and personal consequence, whereas Indonesian ethics view character formation as relational, socially mediated, and spiritually grounded. The study concludes that Pinocchio can reinforce Indonesian character education when culturally interpreted rather than directly adopted. It recommends culturally responsive pedagogy where educators guide students to reinterpret global literature through Indonesian values, enabling foreign narratives to enrich rather than contradict local moral identity. The study contributes to cross-cultural literary analysis, character education discourse, and curriculum development in multicultural contexts.

Abstract

The development of educational technology has driven the need for multimedia teaching materials that are more interactive, adaptive, and relevant to the characteristics of 21st-century students, especially in the subject of Pancasila and Citizenship Education ( PPKn ). In the field, teaching materials are still found to be static and have not been fully able to increase student learning engagement and critical thinking skills. This study aims to develop multimedia teaching materials for PPKn learning through a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach that focuses on the development, validation, and refinement of products iteratively based on user feedback. The research was conducted in four DBR stages needs analysis, design, development, and evaluation involving PPKn teachers , media experts, material experts, and high school students. The results of the study show that the developed multimedia teaching materials meet the feasibility indicators with very valid and very practical categories based on expert validation and limited field trials. In addition , the use of this teaching material has been proven to significantly increase learning motivation, student interaction, and understanding of citizenship concepts. The implications of the research emphasize the importance of integrating interactive technology in PPKn learning and the need for teacher training to optimize its implementation

Abstract

One of the most important communication skills that university students need to learn in order to be successful in their studies and careers is public speaking. Nonetheless, many students continue to experience psychological and linguistic obstacles, such as anxiety, a limited vocabulary, and trouble expressing their ideas orally. There is a paucity of research that takes a holistic approach to understanding how psycholinguistic mechanisms affect students' performance in public speaking, since current studies tend to concentrate on linguistic and pedagogical approaches separately. This study seeks to close this gap by examining how psycholinguistic variables—namely, cognitive processing, speech production processes, and emotional components—contribute to the development of students' public speaking abilities. The qualitative descriptive approach used in this study includes intentionally selecting students studying English Literature who have taken classes related to public speaking. Semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and paperwork were used to gather the data. Miles and Huberman's interactive method, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, was used to evaluate the acquired data. According to the results, students' oral performance improves as they learn to manage their anxiety and become more conscious of psycholinguistics, which helps them with lexical retrieval, speech planning, and fluency. Using psycholinguistic-based approaches in instruction improves students' verbal expression and self-assurance. In order to advance public speaking proficiency, future research is advised to create training models based on psycholinguistics.

Abstract

This study explores and understands the psychological well-being of English language lecturers in managing academic and teaching demands through a narrative inquiry approach. Specifically, this research aims to identify internal and external factors influencing lecturers’ psychological well-being and to understand how these experiences shape their professional identity, resilience, and meaning-making within the context of higher education. The narrative findings show that English lecturers’ psychological well-being is a dynamic condition shaped by the interaction between internal psychological resources and external academic environments. Heavy and overlapping academic roles—teaching, research, administration, and service—create sustained workload pressure, emotional exhaustion, and blurred work–life boundaries, with administrative demands emerging as a major source of stress. Discipline-specific challenges in English teaching further intensify emotional labor, although meaningful teaching experiences and student progress serve as important protective factors. Internal resources such as motivation, resilience, self-efficacy, emotional regulation, reflective practice, and meaning-making help lecturers manage academic pressures and maintain professional commitment. While, external factors, including workload policies, leadership support, collegial relationships, teaching conditions, and institutional support systems, strongly influence whether demands are perceived as manageable or overwhelming. Overall, psychological well-being develops through continuous negotiation between personal coping capacities and organizational conditions, highlighting the need for both individual and institutional approaches to support English lecturers’ well-being. Understanding lecturers’ lived experiences enables institutions to design well-being–oriented policies and support systems. A holistic approach that combines institutional support with the strengthening of lecturers’ internal coping resources is essential to promote sustainable well-being, enhance teaching quality, and ensure long-term professional commitment.

Abstract

This study investigates the types and distribution of politeness expressions in an English textbook for university students in Indonesia. Drawing on Brown and Levinson's (1987) Politeness Theory as the analytical framework, the study employs a qualitative content analysis design to systematically identify and classify politeness expressions across the textbook's dialogue sections. A total of 121 utterances from nine dialogues were analyzed and categorized into four politeness strategies: Positive Politeness, Negative Politeness, Off-Record, and Bald On-Record. The findings reveal that Positive Politeness is the most dominant strategy (f = 77, 63.6%), followed by Off-Record (f = 17, 14.0%), Negative Politeness (f = 16, 13.2%), and Bald On-Record (f = 11, 9.1%). While all four strategies are represented in the textbook, their uneven distribution suggests it presents a pragmatically imbalanced model of English communication. These findings indicate that the textbook is primarily oriented toward solidarity-building and informal interaction, at the expense of preparing learners for formal, asymmetrical, and register-sensitive communicative contexts. The study concludes with recommendations for textbook developers and EFL practitioners to incorporate a more balanced and explicitly contextualized range of politeness strategies in university-level English instructional materials to foster socio-pragmatic competence for real-world communication.
