Abstract

Modern classrooms demand teaching approaches that address diverse learning needs. This study examines how transformative English teachers implement Differentiated Instruction (DI) to enhance student motivation and learning outcomes, combining adaptive pedagogy with equitable education practices. Using a qualitative case study design, the research focused on two experienced Indonesian English teachers trained in DI through the Guru Penggerak program. Semi-structured interviews explored their DI implementation strategies and impacts on learners. Results showed DI significantly boosts engagement when teachers tailor instruction to individual needs through flexible grouping, tiered assignments, and multimodal assessments. Students demonstrated greater motivation when expressing understanding through varied formats like videos, podcasts, or traditional essays. The approach also improved academic performance by aligning with different learning preferences and readiness levels. The study concludes DI creates inclusive classrooms that foster both academic growth and 21st-century skills when implemented effectively. Recommendations include investing in teacher training, providing DI resources, and incorporating flexible assessment policies. Future research should investigate DI's long-term effects across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze pragmatic failures in cross-cultural communication. In communication, language is used, language is the most effective instrument that humans have to convey thoughts, ideas, and emotions, or even develop language or cultural differences during conversations. Students majoring in English need to improve their pragmatic competence to communicate effectively with foreign speakers. However, in contrast to pragmatic competence, there is a possibility of misunderstandings involving the target language and the native language, the most common of which is the failure of pragmatics in cross-cultural communication. In this study, the method used is quantitative, using a survey design with descriptive analysis and distributing questionnaires to students at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati. The results found from this study are pragmatic failures in terms of cultural differences, negative language transfer, and also pragmatic competence. In addition, pragmatic failure has a significant impact on the effectiveness of intercultural communication in undergraduate EFL students.

Abstract

This study explores the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Self-Efficacy Scale for English Language Learners (SES-ELL). With the growing importance of English proficiency in Indonesia, understanding learners’ self-efficacy beliefs—defined as confidence in their ability to perform language tasks—is crucial. The study examines the validity and reliability of the SES-ELL, utilizing a cross-sectional, quantitative approach with a sample of 165 undergraduate English language students from public and private universities. Data were collected via the adapted 32-item Questionnaire of English Self-Efficacy (QESE), measured on a 7-point scale. Results showed that the SES-ELL meets unidimensionality requirements, with Principal Component Analysis of Residuals explaining 68.6% of the variance. Reliability indicators were robust, with an Item Separation Reliability (ISR) of 0.96 and a Person Separation Reliability (PSR) of 0.97, suggesting strong differentiation among learners' self-efficacy levels. Item analysis identified four items needing revision due to fit inconsistencies. The study confirms SES-ELL as a reliable tool for measuring self-efficacy among Indonesian English learners, offering insights into their confidence across language skills. Future research should refine the scale further to ensure optimal measurement accuracy and support targeted interventions to improve learners' self-efficacy and performance in English

Abstract

Effective teaching relies heavily on intentional instructional planning that aligns learning goals, assessments, and activities. The Understanding by Design (UbD) framework, known for its backward design approach, has been adopted within Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum to promote coherence and purpose in learning. However, its implementation across schools varies significantly, often shaped by leadership practices and local policy enforcement. This study investigates how school leadership influences the implementation of UbD in English teaching modules at two public secondary schools in Bogor City. Employing qualitative content analysis, the research draws on data from curriculum documents, semi-structured teacher interviews, and classroom observations. Findings reveal that one school demonstrates effective UbD integration, driven by assertive leadership, clear policy communication, and routine monitoring. In contrast, the second school shows fragmented implementation due to limited leadership involvement and a lack of institutional reinforcement. These contrasting cases highlight that while teacher understanding is necessary, school leadership plays a pivotal role in translating national curriculum mandates into coherent instructional practice. The study underscores the importance of proactive leadership and coordinated policy support to ensure the consistent and meaningful adoption of curriculum frameworks like UbD in schools.

Abstract

The phenomena of language have become a sociosemiotic issue. Many parties were joining the election. To win the election, they used attributes as a tool to campaign, such as posters, ballyhoos, and banners that hung on the side of the roads. The content of the posters included the identity and picture of the legislative candidate and the party's name, and they used political jargon. To express their identity or goal of the party, to find out the meaning of political jargon, and to understand its sociosemiotic interpretation. By using the descriptive qualitative method. Using Halliday's and Pterce’s theories, the result is that political jargon has a deep meaning and sociosemiotic interpretation. The heuristic function is not found in the function of language analysis in political jargon. Still, it was found that the interactional and personal functions are dominantly used in political jargon. Semiotic meaning found in political jargon that expresses the meaning of color, dress cr logo used in political jargon Sociosemiotic interpretation used in political jargon, that comes from sociolinguistics analysis, and Semiotic analysis Keywords: Sociosemiotic Interpretation, Political Jargon

Abstract

Children are naturally fond of stories that integrate meaning and humor yet engagingly deliver life principles and concepts. Stories provide not only entertainment but also a means of learning about various habits, cultures, and arrays of human experiences. In recent years, a remarkable shift has occurred in which children, previously passive consumers of stories, have become active contributors as child authors. In Bandung, the capital city of West Java capital city, a national publisher has emerged as a facilitator for child authors, allowing them to publish their creative works. This platform has published 536 novels written by young minds over the last two decades under the brand Kecil-Kecil Punya Karya (KKPK). This paper investigates the theme and genre preferred by child authors for their novels and to what extent immediate social factors influence their writing and topic preferences. This research may contribute valuable insights into the intersection of sociolinguistics, education, and societal influence by understanding the dynamics of child authorship. The results show that the themes preferred by the child authors are adventure and exploration, family and affection, friendship and mystery, and problem-solving. Immediate environment; family and school play a tremendous role in introducing, nurturing, and developing early literacy routines for child authors that lead to a positive productive literacy culture.

Abstract

This study investigates ESP teachers’ perspectives on the integration of AI tools in language teaching, focusing on the benefits, negative sides, usage, readiness, and barriers they face. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing an open-ended questionnaire distributed to 30 teachers in higher vocational institutions. The thematic analysis of their responses reveals several findings. Teachers recognize AI's potential to support personalized learning, enhance skill development, and assist in lesson planning. However, concerns about over-reliance on AI and the lack of human interaction were also highlighted. Additionally, the study identifies barriers such as inadequate training, infrastructure limitations, and ethical concerns. Teachers emphasized the need for professional development programs, including technical training, AI integration in pedagogy, and ethical guidance. Institutional support in providing access to AI resources and managing workloads is also critical. The study suggests a balanced integration of traditional methods and AI-driven approaches.

Abstract

Effective communication in healthcare requires nursing professionals to possess strong language proficiency. However, English for Nursing curricula often lack alignment with real-world linguistic demands. This study analyzes an English for Nursing curriculum at a private institution in Indonesia, examining its ideological foundation, curricular model, and alignment with language proficiency requirements. Using content analysis, the research evaluated course syllabi, learning modules, and institutional curriculum guides through the lens of Tyler’s (1949) curriculum rationale and Richards’s (2001) language curriculum ideologies. Findings revealed that while the curriculum emphasized social-economic efficiency, academic rationalism, and professional competency, gaps remained in integrating English proficiency with clinical communication skills. The study highlighted limitations in curriculum design, including inadequate exposure to authentic professional discourse and a misalignment between learning activities and workplace communication needs. These insights inform curriculum development strategies, emphasizing the need for industry-aligned instructional practices and policy reforms. The findings contribute to nursing education discourse in Indonesia and globally, advocating for curricula that better prepare students for professional communication in clinical settings.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Canvas, a web-based Learning Management System (LMS), in enhancing the speaking proficiency of first-semester students majoring in Psychology at Universitas Muhammadiyah Aceh, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design was employed, with 30 students divided into 15 in the experimental group (Canvas) and 15 in the control group (Zoom). Both groups participated in five online learning sessions, with the first serving as a pre-test (offline), the next three as treatment sessions (online), and the final meeting as a post-test (offline). Students' speaking skills were assessed based on Vocabulary, Pronunciation, Grammar, Fluency, and Content aspects. Statistical analysis using paired sample t-tests in SPSS 26 confirmed significant improvements in all five speaking aspects for both groups, though the Canvas group outperformed the Zoom group across all measures. The results indicated that Canvas facilitated better engagement, structured learning, and interactive communication tools, leading to higher mean scores in Vocabulary and Fluency. A post-study questionnaire also revealed strongly positive student perceptions regarding Canvas's effectiveness in task submission and online learning accessibility. These findings support the integration of Canvas LMS in higher education curricula and have practical implications for EFL educators, policymakers, and curriculum designers in optimizing digital learning strategies. The study stresses Canvas as a pedagogically effective platform for developing students' communicative competence in English.
