Abstract

This study aimed to identify and describe the most common errors found in essay writing produced by first-year students of the English Education Department at STKIP Muhammadiyah Enrekang. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design. The data were collected through documentation of students’ essay assignments written over several weeks and then analyzed to classify the types and frequency of errors. The findings revealed that students still experienced substantial difficulty in producing accurate English essays. A total of 330 errors were identified and categorized into 24 error types. The most frequent problems appeared in articles, prepositions, spelling, meaningless sentences, word choice, subject-verb agreement, auxiliary verbs, plural forms, verb forms, and capital letters. The analysis also showed improvement after corrective feedback was provided, with the number of errors decreasing from 250 in the earlier essays to 80 in the later essays. These findings indicate that grammatical accuracy, lexical choice, and sentence construction remain major challenges for beginning EFL writers. The study concludes that error analysis is essential for helping lecturers identify learners’ difficulties and design more effective teaching materials, feedback practices, and writing instruction. More guided practice and explicit correction are recommended to improve students’ essay writing ability.

Abstract

Education in underserved settings often faces challenges due to rigid pedagogical approaches that limit student engagement and creativity. This study explores the impact of rhizomatic pedagogy on student engagement in a rural Indonesian elementary school, focusing on its ability to foster inclusive and interactive learning environments. The intervention involved 30 fifth-grade students over eight weeks, incorporating culturally relevant content, collaborative projects, and learner-directed activities. A mixed-methods approach combined pre- and post-intervention surveys with classroom observations and teacher interviews to assess engagement levels across cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. Results showed statistically significant improvements in engagement, with mean scores increasing for cognitive (3.45 to 4.12), emotional (3.22 to 3.98), and behavioral (3.18 to 4.05) dimensions. Qualitative findings highlighted enhanced participation, collaboration, and sustained focus, driven by activities that connected academic content to students’ lived experiences. The teacher emphasized the transformative role of student autonomy and cultural relevance in fostering deeper learning connections. The study’s findings have implications for curriculum design, teacher training, and educational policy, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Rhizomatic pedagogy demonstrates the potential to address key limitations of traditional teaching methods by promoting agency, inclusivity, and contextual learning. Future research should investigate its long-term impact and explore strategies for scaling its implementation in diverse educational environments. This study contributes to the discourse on innovative pedagogies, offering actionable insights for reimagining education in underserved contexts.

Abstract

The way teachers communicate with students significantly affects the success of learning. Giving imperatives is one of the methods teachers use to communicate with students and enhance the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. This research aimed to analyze the imperatives used by teachers in EFL classroom interactions in Indonesian secondary schools. The study employed a qualitative design. The subjects of the research were a representative English teacher and students from class XI IPS at SMAN 3 Enrekang, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through classroom observations, video recordings, and interviews. The data were then analyzed using an interactive model of data analysis, which included data collection, data display, data condensation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings revealed that the teacher used different expressions when giving imperatives during the teaching and learning process, including positive, brief, and negative imperatives. The teacher employed imperatives to manage the classroom and instruct students. The use of imperatives was effective because students generally understood the teacher’s expectations, although the teacher sometimes needed to repeat certain imperatives to ensure student compliance. Students were able to grasp the imperatives easily because the teacher usually gave brief instructions. However, when the teacher used a different style of imperative, students sometimes became confused and struggled to respond immediately.

Abstract

Background: The increasing use of artificial intelligence in higher education has expanded the role of deep learning-assisted feedback in academic writing instruction, particularly in EFL contexts. Although prior studies have shown its potential to improve writing performance, limited research has examined how such feedback influences revision skills through student engagement and digital literacy, especially in regional higher education settings. Purpose: This study investigated the effect of deep learning-assisted feedback on EFL students’ revision skills in academic writing, the revision types most influenced by the feedback, and its contribution to the improvement of writing quality. Methods: A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 22 undergraduate students in an academic writing course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang, Indonesia. Data were collected through questionnaires, revision coding of students’ drafts, and writing quality scores before and after revision. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), supported by descriptive statistics of revision types and writing improvement. Results: The findings showed that deep learning-assisted feedback had a positive and significant direct effect on revision skills and an indirect effect through student engagement. Digital literacy also strengthened the relationship between feedback and engagement. Surface-level revision was the most frequent type of revision, followed by meaning-level and structural revision. In addition, students’ writing quality improved substantially after the revision process, as indicated by the increase from a mean pre-revision score of 64.64 to a mean post-revision score of 84.00. Conclusion: Deep learning-assisted feedback contributed positively to EFL students’ revision skills and writing quality. Its effectiveness was enhanced by student engagement and digital literacy, suggesting that AI-assisted feedback can function as a meaningful pedagogical support in academic writing, particularly in emerging regional higher education contexts.
