Abstract

This study was conducted to explore the impacts of code-switching implemented by lecturers in offline and online English classes based on students’ opinions. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with participants consisting of fourth-semester students from the English Department at the State Institute of Islamic Studies of Bone. Participants were chosen using purposive sampling from a class that experienced blended learning and regular use of code-switching during instruction. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and documentation. The results showed that students experienced both positive and negative impacts from the use of code-switching in the classroom. Positively, students reported that code-switching helped them improve their vocabulary, understand English more effectively, and better comprehend the subject matter. Many students felt that when lecturers explained English terms using Indonesian, it allowed them to grasp complex ideas more clearly and retain new information more easily. Code-switching was also seen as a tool to reduce confusion and anxiety, especially for students who lacked confidence in their English skills. It enabled a smoother transition into English comprehension and made classroom learning more inclusive. In both online and offline settings, students expressed appreciation for this approach as it allowed them to focus more on the material rather than struggling with unfamiliar language. However, they still get a negative impacts which is from the online classes. The main negative impact stemmed from poor internet connections, which led to unclear audio and pronunciation issues, especially during English portions of the lecture. This made it harder for students to fully understand the content. Despite this, students developed strategies such as note-taking and asking for clarification to overcome these obstacles. Overall, the study concludes that code-switching, when used effectively, serves as a valuable instructional strategy in bilingual classrooms, enhancing comprehension, supporting language development, and helping students participate more confidently in both online and offline learning environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition among senior high school students in Indonesia. Recognizing the varied learning styles, interests, and readiness levels among learners, DI offers a flexible approach tailored to individual needs. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test was employed, involving an experimental group taught using DI and a control group taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through vocabulary tests and a student engagement questionnaire. The results revealed that students in the DI group demonstrated significantly higher vocabulary mastery and greater engagement in the learning process compared to those in the control group. These findings suggest that Differentiated Instruction is a promising strategy to support vocabulary development and foster active participation in English language learning at the secondary education level.

Abstract

This study investigated the obstacles faced by 8th grade students at SMP Swasta Muhammadiyah 1 Medan in speaking performance and the reasons behind these obstacles. Using Ur's (1996) theory, qualitative methods like observation and interviews were employed. The analysis revealed three main problems: inhibition, nothing to say, and mother tongue use. Inhibition was the primary issue, involving verbal disfluency, facial expressions, voice characteristics, and physical behavior. Nothing to say led to superficial content, while mother tongue use, such as code-switching, was a minor obstacle. Several causes of those obstacles, including affective factors such as anxiety, worries, nervousness, shyness, forgetfulness, confusion, lack of confidence, and discomfort; linguistic factors, such as the fear of making mistakes in pronunciation, grammar, and word choice, unfamiliarity with speaking in English, difficulty in organizing words or sentences, and limited proficiency in English; meanwhile performance conditions involve issues such as time pressure, lack of preparation and external disturbances from peers.

Abstract

The intention of this study is to determine how students experience about using QuillBot as a tool to minimise plagiarism in their thesis proposals. To accomplish the objectives of the study, a quantitative research approach was used. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to seventh-semester undergraduate students majoring in English Education at STKIP YPUP Makassar during the 2023/2024 academic year. According to the results, 60% of students think QuillBot is helpful for paraphrasing, and 40% concur that it is user-friendly and beneficial. Additionally, all participants (100%) agreed that QuillBot is a useful tool for paraphrasing. After using QuillBot, most students reported improvements in their writing clarity (60%) as well as in their grammar and sentence structure. Furthermore, 40% of students strongly suggested QuillBot to others, and 60% of students said they would be willing to keep using it. These findings imply that QuillBot is an effective supporting tool for encouraging academic integrity and helping students develop their academic writing, even though some students still need more direction to make the most of it.

Abstract

Differentiated Instruction (DI) is central to the Merdeka Curriculum's student-centered framework in Indonesia. Despite theoretical support, its practical implementation, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes, remains inconsistent. This qualitative case study investigates both teachers' and students' perceptions of DI in EFL classes at SMK Negeri 4 Makassar. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings reveal that teachers possess intuitive but limited understanding of DI, with partial and situational implementation. Institutional support was reported as general and inadequate, and barriers such as large class sizes and lack of resources hinder effective DI application. Students perceived the learning experience as uniform and lacking in differentiation by learning style or interest. Although supportive teacher behavior was noted, DI aspects such as content, process, product, and environment differentiation were not comprehensively applied. The study concludes with recommendations for enhanced training, infrastructure, and strategic planning to better align DI with Merdeka Curriculum goals.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of cooperative learning to enhance student engagement in the English classroom at SMP Negeri 1 Mare. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through observations and interviews involving one teacher and ten eighth-grade students. The research explores perceptions and challenges in implementing cooperative learning and seeks strategies for improvement. Findings indicate that both teacher and students perceive cooperative learning as highly beneficial. The teacher integrates strategies such as Think-Pair-Share, role assignments, and reflective questioning to foster active participation and collaborative learning. Students report increased motivation, reduced anxiety, and improved confidence in using English, especially in speaking and vocabulary tasks.However, challenges persist. Unequal participation, time management issues, and occasional group conflicts were observed. The teacher addresses these through structured group roles, frequent feedback, and adaptive support. Students also demonstrate problem-solving by improving communication and collaboration skills. The study concludes that cooperative learning promotes a more interactive, inclusive, and dynamic classroom environment. While implementation challenges remain, strategic adjustments and clear guidance can significantly enhance the effectiveness of cooperative learning. These insights offer practical implications for teachers seeking to optimize engagement in English language instruction through collaborative methods.
