Abstract

This study investigated the implementation of silent scaffolding through non-verbal cues in teaching speaking to seventh-grade students at MTsN 3 Sidoarjo. The study employed a qualitative descriptive case study design involving one English teacher and thirty-four seventh-grade students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and SaldaƱa, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings revealed that silent scaffolding was consistently implemented through four types of non-verbal cues: gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and body movement with proximity. These non-verbal cues were integrated into various stages of speaking instruction to explain learning materials, provide classroom instructions, encourage students' participation, maintain classroom interaction, and support students during speaking activities. The findings indicate that silent scaffolding through non-verbal cues provides immediate instructional support without interrupting students' oral communication. This study contributes to the understanding of silent scaffolding as a practical instructional strategy that supports speaking instruction and promotes students' participation in Indonesian EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates the descriptive writing competence of third-semester English Language Education students at Institut Agama Islam Nahdlatul Ulama (IAINU) Bangil. The research aims to examine the current state of students' descriptive writing abilities, identify prevalent challenges, and explore factors influencing their writing performance within an Indonesian Islamic higher education context. Employing a case study methodology, the researcher collected data through systematic analysis of writing samples from 25 participants, conducted semi-structured interviews, and performed classroom observations. The findings reveal significant variation in descriptive writing competence among participants, with notable strengths in fundamental vocabulary application and basic sentence construction, while demonstrating persistent difficulties in textual coherence, organizational structure, and sophisticated linguistic features. The study identifies substantial influence of Indonesian linguistic and cultural transfer on English descriptive writing patterns. These findings provide valuable insights for English language educators and curriculum developers seeking to enhance writing pedagogy for Indonesian EFL learners in Islamic educational contexts.
