Abstract

This study examines English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ reflections on teaching preparedness and professional development within the distinctive context of an Islamic Boarding School (IBS) in Indonesia. Employing a narrative inquiry approach, this study was conducted with Aisyah, a female English teacher at an IBS in Banyumas Regency, Central Java. Data were gathered through interviews and subjected to narrative analysis. The findings indicate that teacher preparedness and professional development emerged as dynamic, context-dependent processes shaped by the interaction of teacher agency, reflective practice, experiential learning, and institutional support. The findings further suggest that sustained teacher growth in Islamic boarding schools requires contextually relevant professional development that integrates pedagogical competence with faith-based educational values. This study underscores the need to strengthen alternative pedagogical preparation, mentoring, and context-specific professional development programs to support teachers from diverse educational backgrounds in Islamic boarding schools. They also suggest further comparative and longitudinal research to examine how institutional contexts, reflective practice, and support systems shape teacher preparedness, professional growth, and professional identity over time.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into higher education to support English learning through personalized and adaptive instruction. This study investigates undergraduate students' perceptions of AI and its contribution to English learning outcomes at Universitas Sriwijaya. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 40 students from various academic disciplines. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis based on the Perceiver–Target–Situation framework. The Pearson product-moment correlation analysis was also used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that students generally hold positive perceptions of AI. Familiarity with digital technology, prior experience, institutional support, peer interaction, and learning environments encouraged AI adoption. Students perceived AI as accessible, practical, and responsive to their learning needs, contributing to improvements in reading comprehension, writing performance, learning efficiency, confidence, and autonomous learning. The study concludes that positive perceptions, supported by appropriate educational contexts, facilitate the effective integration of AI in English learning and provide practical implications for AI-assisted instruction in higher education.

Abstract

Academic literacy is essential for success in higher education, yet many undergraduate students struggle with academic writing, reading comprehension, communication, and critical engagement with texts. This study examined students’ attitudes and perceptions of the effectiveness of ENG 100 in developing academic literacy skills at the University of Buea. Specifically, it investigated students’ attitudes toward the course, perceptions of its effectiveness, its contribution to academic literacy development, teaching and assessment practices, and implementation challenges. Using a descriptive survey design informed by Academic Literacies Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour, data were collected from 200 undergraduate students through structured questionnaires. Quantitative data were analysed using frequencies and percentages, while qualitative responses were analysed thematically. Findings revealed generally positive attitudes and perceptions toward ENG 100, with students reporting improvements in academic writing, grammar, vocabulary, communication, reading comprehension, and overall academic performance. Teaching methods, lecturer feedback, and assessment practices were also viewed positively. However, challenges such as overcrowded classrooms, limited instructional time, inadequate learning resources, and insufficient practical writing activities constrained the course's effectiveness. The study concludes that ENG 100 significantly enhances academic literacy and recommends increased instructional time, improved learning conditions, better resource provision, and more learner-centred, practice-oriented instruction.
