Abstract

In Yemen, there is a scarcity of research and a lack of application for phonics-based instruction. Hence, the present study aimed to explore EFL teachers' perspectives on the efficiency of phonics instruction in developing reading, spelling and pronunciation fluency among Yemeni EFL learners at primary schools. The study sample comprised 33 EFL teachers from six schools in Dhamar City, Yemen. The participants were asked to give their views and share their experiences on the efficacy of phonics-based instruction in developing the above-mentioned language skills. The participants were selected based on the convenient sampling technique and asked to respond to a questionnaire consisting of 15 statements. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS program version 22.0 to display descriptive statistics quantitatively. The results revealed that teaching phonics is so crucial for the development and improvement of learners' reading fluency, spelling mastery, and pronunciation proficiency. In addition, phonics teaching contributes to reducing and/or eliminating the learners' errors in spelling, reading, and pronunciation. The findings highlighted the importance of integrating phonics teaching into the curricula of English in the early stages at Yemeni schools.

Abstract

Many studies have shown that translanguaging promotes inclusive and dynamic learning environments. However, little is known about multimodal techniques to improve student engagement and satisfaction. The present study aims to examine the impact of these combined strategies on student understanding, motivation, and identity construction in language acquisition. The study involved twenty students in the second semester of the English Language Education Department at a university in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia. The data were garnered through a quantitative method using a questionnaire and a qualitative method using in-depth interviews. Out of the total number of participants, five students were selected for in-depth interviews to explore rich data on students' emotional, motivational, cognitive, and expressive responses to translanguaging. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed statistically while the data obtained from the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results suggest that adding translanguaging and multimodal strategies to the learning environment promotes a more engaging and inclusive atmosphere, thereby enhancing student satisfaction and language proficiency. Conversely, complications were identified for students with diminished proficiency requiring further assistance. The research emphasizes the potential of translanguaging to enhance linguistic competence, student confidence, and motivation, indicating that it is a valuable pedagogical tool in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Despite extensive research on vocabulary acquisition, limited attention has been given to how these theories are applied in English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching practices, particularly in Indonesia. This qualitative case study addresses this gap by exploring English lecturers' perceptions and use of incidental vocabulary learning (IVL) and the involvement load hypothesis (ILH) in their classrooms. Data were collected through interviews and classroom observations with five English lecturers from universities in Malang, Indonesia, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns and themes. The findings revealed that all participants recognized the importance of vocabulary in language learning and preferred implicit learning methods, such as exposure to authentic language in literature and films. However, the integration of theoretical concepts like vocabulary size and frequency into teaching practices was limited due to constraints such as time and lack of dedicated vocabulary instruction. Moreover, participants were unfamiliar with the ILH, though some of its elements were present in their teaching. The study suggests that better dissemination of research and professional development is essential to bridge the gap between theory and practice, ultimately improving vocabulary instruction in EFL contexts.

Abstract

Due to its internationalization agenda, higher education institutions (HEI) in Indonesia adopted English as medium of instruction (EMI) programs despite the absence of a national policy document to regulate EMI. Studies on EMI policy in HEI focused on the effect policy could have on the dominant group and gave less highlight on EMI policy implementation management. This case study examined the management of EMI as language policy at the meso-(institutional) and micro-(classroom) levels. The data sources include the institutional policy document related to the EMI program, and interviews with seven EMI officers and seven EMI teachers at a Technological Institute in Indonesia. Using Spolsky's language management framework for the "sensitizing concept," the result of the thematic analysis of the data shows three major categories of EMI policy management: EMI classroom management mechanism, language-related mechanism, and incentivization mechanism. The EMI teachers practice EMI differently in the classroom. Three teachers used English only, while four teachers used multilingualism for content comprehension. The most highlighted managerial and teaching problems come from the students

Abstract

Numerous scholarly investigations have been conducted on students' perceptions of implementing Google Sites in various learning environments, including English as a foreign language (EFL) context. However, some existing research lacks specific exploration of the use of Google Sites in both intensive and extensive listening classrooms in tertiary education. This study aims to investigate the implementation of Google Sites in that specific listening classroom. This case study involved twenty-two first-year students in English language education at one of the public universities in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observation, students' reflection, and semi-structured interviews, and they were analyzed thematically using NVivo as a helping tool. Results indicate that, according to the implementation and the ease of using Google Sites in their listening classroom, students generally hold positive attitudes towards Google Sites, finding it beneficial to improve their listening skills along with their creativity. Conversely, some students experience challenges that evolve around poor internet connectivity, accessibility, and adjustability of the website. This study promotes Google Sites as an alternative learning tool to assist both teachers and students in meeting their learning objectives in a fun and creative way.

Abstract

Considering multiple analyses on the effectiveness of extensive reading (ER) in higher education, this study addresses the lack of empirical evidence regarding the implementation of ER in higher education, particularly in an Indonesian university. This study explored the importance of understanding how the integration of technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) in ER practices in a higher education context. Through a qualitative case study involving one lecturer from a state university in East Java, Indonesia, the data were obtained through interviews and classroom observations to facilitate triangulation and ensure its credibility, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings demonstrated that ER was carried out at the university, aligning with the ER principles set forth by Day and Bamford (2002) and Hedgcock and Ferris (2009). Moreover, from the TPACK framework, technology mainly served as a resource, management system, and content delivery tool, facilitating smoother ER practices. The strategic combination of materials and teaching methods also supported ER activities, enabling students to follow instructions and meet course objectives efficiently. Thus, this research offered valuable insights for universities to implement ER courses, providing evidence-based practices for lecturers to optimize teaching methods, tools, and resources on ER practices in higher education settings.
