Abstract

This study explores how Global Englishes (GE)-informed materials can be used for teaching extensive listening, focusing on students’ perceptions before and after learning the concept, as well as the benefits and challenges they experienced. The study was conducted with 24 third-year university students in Bandung, Indonesia. In this study, data were collected through course reflective journals, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations and were thematically analysed. The findings revealed that most students were initially not familiar with Global Englishes. However, after learning the concept, they gained a better understanding and awareness of the diversity of English. They also became more confident speaking English with their own accents. A significant challenge, however, was understanding accents they had not been exposed to before. In essence, the findings may elucidate how GE-informed materials can boost students’ confidence and expand their understanding of effective communication in English, as well as provide suggestions for incorporating GELT into classrooms.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education globally. In response, the Indonesian government mandated an immediate transition to virtual teaching. However, the rapid transformation was associated with unprecedented challenges and complications. This qualitative study investigates the experiences of 24 EFL senior high school teachers in West Java, Indonesia, representing diverse school backgrounds. The study illustrated that the teachers faced various challenges categorised into three significant aspects: 1-Technological/Technical (equity and accessibility, bandwidth, technological support), 2- Students (lack of motivation, time management, changed behaviour), and 3-Facilitator's abilities (limited ICT abilities, burnout, workload). Specifically, urban public high school teachers failed to keep students engaged and motivated in online classrooms. In contrast, rural public senior high school instructors encountered severe technical hurdles, such as inadequate internet access and limited digital equipment, making it challenging to prepare interactive classes. Furthermore, private senior high school instructors were unprepared for online education and battled to keep their pupils engaged and motivated. Furthermore, private Islamic school teachers had a particular issue connecting their teaching techniques with Islamic beliefs, which complicated digital tools and platforms. The study suggests that EFL teachers require extensive support networks, focused interventions, and specialised training to address these issues.

Abstract

This study investigates the environmentally sustainable production methods of Teri Medan, a popular anchovy product from Medan, Indonesia, which has become an eco-conscious souvenir distributed through local markets and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM). The research problem centers on how Teri Medan production integrates sustainable practices and how these are reflected in local cultural narratives. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The study employs an ecolinguistic framework, which analyzes the language used to describe and communicate environmental values in the production process. Ecolinguistics, a discipline that examines the relationship between language and the environment, provides tools for identifying key cultural terms and narratives that convey sustainability practices. Findings reveal that Teri Medan production emphasizes sustainability across various stages, from selective fishing techniques, such as the use of gill nets that protect marine ecosystems, to eco-friendly methods in washing, boiling, sun-drying, sorting, and packaging. These practices not only minimize environmental impact but also enhance Teri Medan’s role as a cultural symbol of Medan’s commitment to environmental stewardship. The study highlights how promoting Teri Medan as a souvenir that embodies local traditions and sustainable values can contribute to the growth of sustainable tourism and serve as a model for eco-friendly souvenir production, aligning with global trends in responsible tourism.

Abstract

This research examines Stephen King's The Stand through the lens of Achille Mbembe's necropolitics and the pandemic narrative approach, analyzing how the novel portrays a pandemic as a state of siege. The research reveals that the pandemic in The Stand serves not only as a source of fear and societal disruption, highlighting human mortality and the fragility of social structures, but also as a catalyst for necropolitical governance, where sovereignty operates through the control of life and death, utilizing fear to maintain dominance. Utilizing a qualitative methodology focused on character interactions, control mechanisms, and depictions of death, the research demonstrates how the post-pandemic landscape in the novel reflects a slow social and political death, alongside physical demise. Additionally, this work implicates King's negotiation of humanity as an aspiration for peace, effectively neutralizing the pervasive fear of necropolitical implementation during a pandemic, as perceived at the time of the novel's release.

Abstract

This study explores the use of Modeling of the Text (MoT) within the Genre-Based Approach (GBA) to enhance students' ability to construct well-supported arguments in discussion texts. Despite the recognized potential of MoT as an explicit teaching method, it remains underexplored in academic research. This Classroom Action Research, conducted over two cycles, involved 39 students, with a focus on 6 participants from a senior high school in West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations and text analysis. Findings from Cycle 1 indicated that while students were familiar with the structural components of discussion texts, they struggled with developing arguments, integrating evidence, and formulating a clear stance. However, in Cycle 2, the introduction of Toulmin’s Argumentation Model, counter-argument practice, and explicit teaching led to significant improvements in their writing. These interventions helped students construct more coherent arguments, engage in critical reasoning, and incorporate supporting evidence more effectively. Based on these results, the study advocates for teaching approaches that go beyond structural awareness to include targeted instruction on argumentation strategies, stance formulation, and the integration of research and digital literacy skills. Additionally, it suggests adopting differentiated instruction to address diverse student needs. The study concludes by recommending further research to examine the long-term effects of these instructional strategies on students’ writing proficiency.

Abstract

This paper explores the theoretical foundations of task-based learning (TBL) and its effectiveness in enhancing argumentative writing and critical thinking skills among university students. TBL emphasizes engaging learners through meaningful tasks that mirror real-life communication, fostering linguistic competence and critical thinking—essential skills for constructing coherent and persuasive arguments. The study addresses key concepts in argumentation, such as claims, evidence, and reasoning, and underscores their significance in developing well-supported, logical arguments. Furthermore, it focuses on the exploration of (1) definition and core principles of task-based learning and its application in writing, (2) benefits of task-based learning for language and writing skills development, (3) the role of critical thinking in argumentative writing, (4) key concepts in argumentation (claims, evidence, reasoning), (5) explanation of clarity, precision, relevance, and logic (as standards of thought) in the context of argumentative writing, and (6) the relationship between critical thinking and standards of thought. This integrated framework highlights the interconnections between TBL, critical thinking, and argumentative writing and provides actionable insights for English lecturers on implementing TBL strategies in their curricula to better support students’ academic development.

Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian university students' responses to the pragmatic meaning conveyed by ChatGPT in the context of argumentative writing. Employing a qualitative approach, the research explores students' perceptions of the ease of understanding and utilizing the pragmatic cues embedded in AI-generated text, their attitudes toward using the tool, and their behavioral intention for continued use. Findings reveal that while students appreciate ChatGPT's usefulness and ease of use for generating argumentative content, their engagement with its pragmatic meaning is more nuanced. Students often modify AI-generated language to align with their own writing styles and perceived academic appropriateness, indicating a level of critical awareness. A writer's stance and attitude towards the argument are often conveyed through pragmatic choices. Students' modifications could reflect an effort to inject their own voice and perspective, which might be absent or inadequately represented in the AI-generated text.

Abstract

This research aims to develop web-based student activity sheets (e-LAS) designed to enhance literacy skills by adapting the Ratu Agung folklor into short stories. The development process employed the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Data were collected through interview, observation, and evaluation stages, and analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study involved 10th-grade students at Athalla Putra Health Vocation School in Palembang. The expert evaluation of final e-LAS product yielded scores of 79,54 (good) for content relevance, 92,50 (very good) for presentation, and 91,66 (very good) for language, with an overall average of 87,90. Initial trials revealed that students were unfamiliar with analyzing and extracting information for complete text. Nonetheless, 84,61% of students achived the set learning objectives, indicating a high level of product effectiveness. These results suggest that the developed e-LAS can serve as a valuable aternative instruction tool to support literacy development and foster students’ creativity through culturally rooted literary expressions.

Abstract

Multimodal Pedagogy Flipped Classrooms (MPFC) are well regarded for professional, pedagogical, and practical contributions to classroom practices in global context. Yet, Indonesian education setting has not provided significant attention, and the implementation of MPFC should be cultivated further for its benefit in language learning. Therefore, the present study investigates the impact of the MPFC to promote students' performance of speaking skill, measure the relationship of speaking ability and their level of autonomy, and exploring students' perception of MPFC implementation. The study conducted a mixed method which involved sixty students learning English as a foreign language from a private university in Indonesia and 6 selected students for interviews data collection. The quantitative research mediated MPFC for experimental class and product-based approach for control class while the qualitative research design using classroom observation and semi-structured interviews. The obtained data were analyzed using independent t-test and ANOVA for quantitative purpose, and thematic analysis to interview. The results show a profound difference in students' speaking from the pretest (M=77.00 SD=4.85) to the post-test (M=80.90 SD=3.12). Moreover, the relationship between their speaking skill and autonomy reveal betterment after MPFC implementation (t-value 0.003). Students perceive positively toward this pedagogical intervention including their experience, challenges, and their strategy to cope with challenges found. The implications and recommendations of the study are also discussed.

Abstract

The integration of digital literacy into language learning has been widely explored, yet studies focusing on adult English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ digital competence in academic settings remain limited. Previous research has highlighted general digital literacy frameworks (Reddy et al., 2023; Fadilah, 2023), teacher digital competence gaps (Giannikas et al., 2022), and the positive correlation between digital literacy and language proficiency (Wahyuddin et al., 2024). However, these studies have not specifically examined how adult EFL learners navigate digital literacy challenges, particularly in critical evaluation of online resources and cybersecurity awareness. This study aims to assess the digital competence of adult EFL learners, focusing on five key dimensions: general digital competence, technology integration in language learning, digital literacy and skills, digital communication and collaboration, and online safety. Using a structured questionnaire administered to 56 university students, the findings indicate that while students demonstrate strong proficiency in basic digital tasks and language learning applications (71% overall digital competence score), they struggle with critically evaluating online resources and cybersecurity practices. These results emphasize the need for structured pedagogical strategies, including targeted digital literacy training and collaborative learning environments, to enhance EFL learners’ technological integration skills. This study contributes to the effective implementation of digital literacy in EFL education by addressing the specific challenges faced by adult learners, ultimately fostering their linguistic and digital proficiency in academic and professional contexts. The findings imply that EFL programs should include targeted digital literacy education that tackles critical thinking and online safety. Strengthening these areas will enable adult learners to effectively navigate digital settings, promoting academic achievement as well as lifetime digital involvement.
