Abstract

Although doubts may arise on the relevance of literature and reading aloud in this digital era, the present study sides with experts’ opinion that teaching aloud is an essential strategy to use literature to nurture soft skills among children. By implementing George’s model of Library research (2008), the present study critically reviews experts’ opinions and previous studies on the use of literary texts throught reading aloud for developing children’s soft skills.Using Wagner’s dimensions of soft skills, the present study reviews a total of 30 books and rticles published in reputable international journals or accredited national journals, with 25 of them published in the last ten years and 15 of them purports reading aloud for developing childfrren’s soft skills. The study reveals that listening to works of literature through reading aloud activity is argued to be beneficial for improving children’s analytical thinking, communicative, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, curiousity and imagination, and initiative. While there are not yet explicit arguments on the use of literature through reading aloud for developing children’s agility / adaptability and collaborative skills, the present study implies that reading aloud should be a regular partr of children’s exposure to literature concerning the development of their soft skills.

Abstract

In the era of globalization, mastering the English language has become very important to facilitate access in various aspects of life, including communication. Listening and speaking are fundamental skills in English. Along with the development of technology, podcasts have become a popular learning media among students. This study aims to determine students' perceptions of podcasts as a learning media to improve listening and speaking skills in English learning. This research method is descriptive qualitative with Likert scale questionnaire and interview. The research samples were 5th and 7th semester students majoring in English Education at Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram. The results showed positive responses from students that podcasts are effective and interesting as learning media. Podcasts not only improve listening skills, but also speaking, such as finding new vocabulary, correct pronunciation, different accents, and increasing confidence in speaking. Podcasts can be a good alternative in learning English in college. In addition to the benefits of podcasts to improve listening and speaking skills, this study also shows some of the respondents' obstacles in using podcasts. For future research needs to explore how podcasts can be effectively integrated into the English curriculum, focusing on developing communication skills, addressing student challenges, and providing adequate pedagogical support.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of combining Automated Writing Corrective Feedback (AWCF) and Teacher Written Corrective Feedback (TWCF) in improving students’ writing skills at SMK Bina Karya 2 Karanganyar. A mixed-methods approach was employed using an explanatory sequential design. Quantitative data from pre- and post-writing tests showed a significant improvement in mechanics, grammar, vocabulary, organization, and content of descriptive texts (t(58) = 8.888, p < .001). Qualitative findings from interviews and questionnaires indicated that students engaged with feedback in behavioral, cognitive, and affective dimensions. Low-proficiency students accepted most automated corrections, while advanced learners selectively applied feedback. AWCF was most effective for surface-level errors, while TWCF provided deeper support in content, coherence, and organization. A structured feedback process, where students revised based on automated corrections before receiving teacher guidance, ensured iterative improvement and minimized cognitive overload. The combination of AWCF and TWCF fostered self-regulated learning, reduced writing anxiety, and enhanced overall proficiency. Student perceptions varied; 78% found AWCF helpful for grammar, but only 42% believed it improved overall writing. Teachers noted that TWCF provided clearer explanations, reinforcing deeper learning. The integration of AWCF and TWCF enabled students to develop both linguistic accuracy and higher-order writing skills. These findings underscore the importance of a hybrid feedback model balancing efficiency, personalization, and engagement, ultimately enhancing students' writing proficiency in a structured and effective manner.

Abstract

Advancements in digital technology have reshaped education, positioning multimodal instruction as a crucial pedagogical approach. This study aims to examine the level of teacher self-efficacy (TSE) in multimodal instruction among junior high school EFL teachers in Belitung Regency, Indonesia, and analyze variations based on age, gender, teaching experience, and certification status. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 47 teachers through an adapted Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES). Results revealed a moderate level of TSE in multimodal instruction (M = 3.96, SD = 0.72), approaching the high category. Teachers expressed the highest confidence in classroom management (M = 4.01, SD = 0.72) and the lowest in instructional strategies (M = 3.93, SD = 0.74). Mid-career teachers (aged 31 – 50) and those with 5 – 15 years of experience reported the highest self-efficacy, while younger and older teachers showed lower confidence. Gender and certification status had minimal impact, suggesting that teaching experience and professional development are more influential. This study concludes that while teachers intuitively adopt multimodal strategies as a result of their immersion in the digital world and the technology-based training they receive, targeted support is needed to enhance their self-efficacy in multimodal instruction.

Abstract

The advancement of technology has supported the implementation of e-portfolios in students speaking performance, which can be described as a digital tool where students can collect and store their projects online for quick access as long as their devices have an internet connection. However little is known has qualitatively explored how e-portfolio influence students’ cognitive development in relation to their speaking performance. It is thereby leading to a lack of literature on this topic. This research, therefore, aims to examine how e-portfolios will influence cognitive development in students’ speaking performance using a qualitative method. A phenomenological qualitative study design consisting of note-taking and semi-structured interview methods was used to obtain data from 33 eleventh-grade students ranging between 17-18 years old. The interview data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis; meanwhile, the note-taking was analyzed using content analysis to support the thematic analysis. The result showed that the students had a cognitive development on their speaking performance in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. Moreover, students showed the benefits of peer feedback in e-portfolio activities, which enhanced their awareness and led them to identify strengths and weaknesses as well as to recognize the area for improvement in their speaking performance.

Abstract

Learner agency is a crucial factor enabling learners to make decisions and act upon them, thereby transforming their learning experiences. Identifying agency within the context of digital technology advancements, particularly through mobile-driven transmedia experiences, is essential. This study aims to examine the archetypes of learner agency in task-based activities conducted out of classroom activities. Previous research has predominantly focused on the utility of mobile devices within classroom settings, overlooking the potential benefits of agentive learning opportunities outside the classroom. This study employed a qualitative case study design grounded in Complex Dynamic System Theory (CDST) and tied to Retrodictive Qualitative Modelling (RQM) technique. Data were collected through task observations, Focus Group Interviews, and in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis was used to identify dynamic patterns and signatures related to learner agency and transmedia engagement across contexts. Thirty-five EFL learners participated in three sequential task activities using mobile phones both inside and outside the classroom. From this group, three participants were purposively selected for in-depth interviews to explore their significant experiences in completing the tasks. The findings reveal two primary types of learner agency: intentional and incidental. While intentional agency is limited by spatiotemporal constraints, incidental agency transcends these boundaries. The study's implications highlight the potential of transmedia to empower learner agency through mobile-driven technology, offering valuable insights that can enhance language teaching practices beyond traditional classroom settings.

Abstract

Vocabulary is one of the foundations of the English language learning; mastering it is detrimental to language mastery. However, it was found that motivation, or lack thereof, is problematic. Needs analysis aims to identify what students and teachers need in learning English. The limited use of interactive learning media results in students being less motivated. Teachers who have limitations in using ICT are an obstacle to following current educational trends. AR flashcards have emerged to be offered as a learning medium.  The aim of this research is to analyze the needs of students and teachers in the English learning process, especially vocabulary learning. This research used a mixed method with the research subjects being fifth grade students and English teachers at SD N Pucung. Use of questionnaires in the form of close - ended questions and interviews as instruments in collecting the data. The research results showed that students and teachers needed more interactive learning media. Therefore, it is necessary for implementing AR Flashcards to increase student motivation in learning English vocabulary so that it becomes interesting and interactive.
