Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore English teachers’ perceptions of teaching strategies and instructional practices in developing students’ communicative competence. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving seven English teachers from two public junior high schools in Mauk District, Tangerang Regency. The data were analyzed thematically using method triangulation to ensure validity. The results revealed that 71.43% of teachers perceived communicative competence as the ability to use English in real-life contexts. Meanwhile, 14.29% held a balanced view between communicative and grammatical aspects, and another 14.29% still emphasized grammatical accuracy. However, among the 13 observed teaching practices, only 38.46% involved group discussions or pair work, 30.77% used role-play or real-life simulations, 15.38% applied storytelling or presentations, and 15.38% still implemented grammar-based approaches. These findings indicate a gap between teachers' perceptions and their actual classroom practices. Although the teachers demonstrated a strong understanding of the importance of communicative approaches, their implementation remains limited due to structural and pedagogical constraints. It can be concluded that while most teachers show positive perceptions toward communicative teaching strategies, their classroom application is not yet optimal.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of perceptions on learning models and students’ attitudes towards reading skills at private vocational high schools in Depok City, Indonesia. Recognizing the pivotal role of reading proficiency in academic and career success, the research aims to understand how cognitive and affective factors contribute to reading skill development. Employing a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 90 eleventh-grade students using validated questionnaires and standardized reading tests. Statistical analyses, including multiple regression, revealed significant simultaneous effects of perceptions and attitudes on reading skills, accounting for 17.3% of the variance. Students' attitudes exhibited a stronger influence (35.5% contribution) compared to perceptions of learning models (20.1%). These findings underscore the necessity for vocational education programs to foster positive attitudes and implement engaging, context-relevant learning models to enhance reading competencies. Future research might explore additional variables influencing reading achievement and intervention effectiveness in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study explores Duolingo as a Mobile-Assisted Language Learning platform to support self-directed reading comprehension among vocational high school students. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings show that Duolingo’s interactive and gamified features increase student engagement and motivation, aiding the use of reading strategies like contextual guessing and self-reflection to enhance comprehension. Challenges include limited vocabulary, inconsistent motivation, and technical issues, which impact autonomous learning. The study highlights the need for teacher training to integrate technology with pedagogical methods and for creating a supportive environment that promotes learner autonomy. These insights inform the effective application of technology-enhanched self-directed learning in EFL settings, supporting adaptive English language teaching

Abstract

This qualitative study aims to describe the Implementation of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in teaching English speaking skills within the Merdeka Curriculum at the junior high school level. The research addresses the need for adaptable learning strategies that cater to diverse student abilities, interests, and needs, promoting optimal development for every learner. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation at El-Syifa Junior High School and Jagakarsa Junior High School in South Jakarta. The subjects were English teachers and eighth-grade students. Inductive analysis showed that teachers implemented DI through variations in content, process, and product. Specific strategies included role-play, discussion, group presentations, and providing choices in expressing learning outcomes. Students reported that this approach boosted their speaking skills, motivation, and confidence, making previously passive students more active. However, challenges identified included time constraints, large class sizes, and wide ability gaps. Overall, the findings confirm that DI is an effective approach for supporting the Merdeka Curriculum's emphasis on freedom, flexibility, and the development of individual potential.

Abstract

 This study investigates the role of cultural integration in translation by synthesizing findings from twenty peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2020 and 2025. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, the research explores how cultural mediation unites the semantic, morphosyntactic, and pragmatic dimensions of translation. The results reveal that culture-bound and idiomatic translation dominates recent scholarship (60%), followed by pragmatic (25%) and morphosyntactic (15%) approaches. These findings indicate that effective translation requires not only linguistic accuracy but also cultural and ethical awareness. Emerging trends such as eco-translation and AI-assisted translation demonstrate a growing interdisciplinarity in translation studies. The study concludes that translators function as cultural negotiators, bridging language, technology, and ethics to ensure communicative coherence across cultures. Future research is recommended to validate these findings through empirical and practice-based studies.
