Abstract

Foreign language anxiety (FLA) has been a significant area of research in second language acquisition, due to its impact on language learning. However, research focusing on teachers’ awareness of students' FLA remains limited, despite suggestions in the literature that educators play a crucial role in helping students cope with anxiety. To address this gap, the present study explores the awareness of junior high school teachers on students’ FLA. A case study approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with three junior high school English teachers in Lampung, Indonesia. The data were analysed thematically. The findings indicate that the teachers were generally aware of FLA and could identify its signs, causes, and impact on language learning. However, they appeared to lack awareness that FLA is context-specific and distinct from other forms of anxiety. The study concludes with implications for teacher training and pedagogical practice in relation to managing FLA in the classroom.

Abstract

Qualified English language teachers are required to have knowledge about the integration of technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge in their teaching. This research aims at exploring pre-service English language teachers' understanding of the Technology Pedagogy Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework in English Language Teaching. The descriptive qualitative method was used in this study, and data were collected through a standardized questionnaire related to the TPACK framework. The result of this study shows that pre-service English teachers have a high understanding of TPACK (M=3.81). The highest mean of the TPACK aspect is content knowledge (M=3.98), followed by pedagogical knowledge (M=3.92), technological pedagogical content knowledge (M=3.69), and the last is technology knowledge(M=3.65). However, 47.33% of the subjects do not use technology frequently in teaching English, 56.67% get problems in helping others to coordinate the use of content, technologies, and teaching approaches at school, 72.6 % cannot select appropriate technologies to use in the classroom that enhance what to teach, how to teach, and what students learn, and only 57.33% apply various knowledges in teaching speaking.  It can be concluded that the pre-service teachers have shown their awareness of the importance of TPACK in the teaching and learning process though they still have problems in some aspects. Pre-service English teachers are recommended to use technology by modifying technology and literacy to promote the quality of the teaching and learning outcomes. Other researchers can focus on TPACK implementation in the classroom to compare the understanding of the framework and its practice in the field.

Vocabulary acquisition plays a vital role in language learning, yet many high school students struggle to expand their vocabulary effectively. This study investigates whether there is a significant difference in students’ vocabulary improvement after being taught using short stories. Conducted at SMAN 11 Bandar Lampung with tenth-grade students. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and post-test to measure students' vocabulary size before and after the intervention. A total of 35 students participates in the study, receiving vocabulary instruction through selected short stories. The Vocabulary Size Test (VST) assesses students' vocabulary mastery across six word-frequency levels. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary knowledge after the intervention. It is shown on the mean score of pre-test 2707 while the mean score of post-test 3610 which means higher than pre-test. The most substantial improvement appears in mid-frequency vocabulary (Third 1,000 to Fifth 1,000 levels), while gains in higher-level vocabulary (Sixth 1,000 level) are relatively lower. The conclusion is drawn based on the results obtained from the paired sample T-test. The significant sig. (2-tailed) of pre-test and post-test 0.000. The sig. (2- tailed) is 0.000 < 0.05 which means the pre-test and post-test has sig < a and can be concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. From these findings, there is an improvement in vocabulary mastery and it is concluded that using Short Stories can improve vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study explores teachers’ and students’ perceptions of Muhadhoroh activities in enhancing English public speaking skills at the Islamic Boarding School Babul Hikmah. Muhadhoroh, a structured public speaking practice held regularly in pesantren environments, helps build confidence, fluency, and articulation. This qualitative research employed semi-structured interviews with five teachers and five students and was analyzed thematically using NVivo. Findings revealed that Muhadhoroh supports linguistic development, especially in pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence. Nervousness and grammatical challenges were commonly noted. Teachers emphasized structure and accuracy, while students favored emotional comfort and small-group training. The "degree of fit" analysis showed high alignment between perceptions, though the emphasis on learning strategies differed. The study recommends integrating Muhadhoroh more intentionally in English programs as a culturally contextual language learning activity.
