This study investigated the impact of authentic assessment on students' critical thinking in English classes. The study targeted two English teachers who had experience using authentic assessment in their classrooms. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation. The findings of the study showed that authentic assessment had a positive impact on students' critical thinking. Students who participated in authentic assessments were more motivated to learn, were better able to apply their English skills in a real-world context and were more likely to engage in critical thinking. The study also identified several opportunities/dispositions that promoted students' critical thinking in authentic assessments. These included teamwork and monitoring, which helped students identify other people's ideas, evaluate the evidence for a particular issue, reflect on an issue by bringing in logical opinions, draw conclusions about an issue, and present their points of view. The findings of this study suggest that authentic assessment is a valuable tool for promoting critical thinking in English classes. Authentic assessments can help students develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in college and the workplace.

The genre-based approach (GBA) was one of the writing approaches that helps and facilitates students to explore a focused piece of writing. When students were required to create such a writing form, most of them tended to have difficulties in constructing structured writing. The GBA approach allowed students to improve their writing skills by following specific steps. This systematic literature review reviewed research articles discussing the improvements made in students’ writing outcomes by implementing the GBA. Fifteen research articles from nine different countries were selected from the ERIC, Google Scholars, and Semantic Scholars online article databases. They were analyzed to determine improvements in students’ writing skills based on the results of the research in these nine countries. The results showed that students investigated from research articles in the nine countries showed three types of improvement in writing: writing performance, writing achievement, and writing attitude. Specifically, 8 of 15 research results show that the implementation of GBA provides benefits to improve writing performance. Meanwhile, 5 of 15 research results mention that the students’ writing achievement in terms of their writing score is much better after implementing the GBA. Finally, two research showed an improvement in their writing attitude after the GBA implementation. The conclusion of this research indicates that the utilization of GBA can help and facilitate students to be more productive as well as improve their writing

The study provide an explanation regarding how discrimination of linguistic can affect student achievement in teaching English at SMA Negeri 2 Pinrang. For the research objective, observations were made in three classes at different times to determine the effect of student achievement. The data were obtained by interviewing two English teachers and six students regarding their views on attitudes and beliefs during the learning process in class. After being analyzed, it appears that there is unconscious discrimination and this can affect the English learning process itself, not respecting the level of the language itself, pressure from the teacher, affecting student competence in some aspects such as fear of communication, homogenization of achievement, fear of evaluation negative, academic, extra visibility of high ability students, mother tongue restriction, difficulty interacting, self-isolation, and discriminatory jokes. The results of this study indicate that all forms of discriminatory behavior both from classmates and teachers can affect student achievement. So that negative behavior also produces negative responses such as fear, anxiety, and separation so that it limits and restrains student participation in the learning process.

This study investigates the types and motivations of cyberbullying expressions used by Twitter users in the Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber drama. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research analyses transcripts of Twitter comments to understand the underlying motives behind the observed bullying behaviour. The findings have revealed several key motives including fanaticism towards idols. Strong identification with and defence of preferred idols can induce aggressive responses towards perceived threats, leading to attacks on rival fans or their idols. Emotional reactivity that encouuunters tweets perceived as disrespectful or harmful towards their idols can trigger anger and frustration, driving users to engage in cyberbullying as a means of retaliation. Witnessing the success or popularity of other idol groups or their fans can trigger feelings of jealousy, prompting some users to engage in cyberbullying to diminish their rivals' perceived advantages. Engaging in aggressive online behaviour and "winning" arguments against perceived opponents can provide some users with a sense of validation and satisfaction, further reinforcing the cycle of cyberbullying.

Reflective thinking is an important factor that can affect a teacher's effectiveness when teaching in the educational setting. This study aims to investigate the relationship between reflective thinking of EFL teachers in Indonesia and their teaching styles. A descriptive-correlational design was employed in the quantitative research method, and a survey with fifteen EFL teachers from different Indonesian schools was used to collect data. With a correlation of 0.757 and a significance value (sig) of 0.001<0.05, the statistical analysis's results demonstrated a strong positive or close to significant relationship between teachers' reflective thinking levels and their teaching styles. Additionally, the percentage of 53.3% indicates that EFL teachers in Indonesia tend to use the "All-round flexible, Adaptable teacher" teaching style when teaching students in English in the classroom. This finding illustrates that Indonesian EFL teachers who exhibit high levels of reflective thinking tend to have more effective teaching styles. Suggestions for future research include in-depth research to understand specific aspects of reflective thinking as it relates to teaching styles.
