Abstract

The formulation of specific and achievable learning outcomes remains critical in the approach to teaching, especially in the EFL context. At the same time, some of the challenges mentioned by educators indicate the problem of defining the objectives, goals and outcomes of a curriculum. This research aims to critically analyze how Indonesian EFL secondary school teachers construct learning objectives in the context of Kurikulum 2013 and Kurikulum Merdeka. This study was an exploratory study using qualitative descriptive research methods. The inclusion of two teachers from the same school was intentional to reduce external bias. Triangulated qualitative data sources included participants' written consent forms and principal interviews, and quantitative lesson plan documents were evaluated using the ABCD and SMART model checklists. Strengths identified centered on high-level thinking skills and child-centered processes, while weaknesses included many frameworks and a lack of objective criteria. Based on the study's findings, a combination of detailed instructional contexts and performance bench marking can positively enhance the formulation of learning goals. They advance knowledge about approaches to implementing and refining instructional practices and goals in conjunction with curricular expectations in different contexts.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has encouraged the use of language-learning applications to enhance the quality of instruction in elementary schools, including Duolingo as an interactive medium that integrates gamification into the learning process. Previous studies indicate that educational technology holds strong potential to improve students’ motivation, learning independence, and English language skills. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Duolingo application in improving the English language skills of elementary school students using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method on seven articles published between 2020 and 2024. The results of the analysis show that Duolingo contributes positively to improving students' writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills. The gamification approach applied in this application has been proven to be able to increase learning motivation and student involvement in the learning process. In addition, the time flexibility and accessibility offered allow students to learn independently according to their own pace. However, this study also identifies several obstacles that can hinder the effectiveness of using Duolingo, such as difficulty adapting to technology, limited internet access, and the availability of devices. Some students also experience fluctuations in motivation when there is no variation in learning methods, and the limited feedback from the application makes teacher assistance still necessary to maximize learning outcomes. Therefore, while Duolingo has great potential in supporting English learning in elementary schools, its success still depends on the support of educators as well as adequate technology accessibility. By overcoming these challenges, Duolingo can be an effective learning tool in improving the quality of English education in the digital era. The integration of this application into the curriculum, as well as training for teachers and students, is an important step in maximizing its benefits for learning.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition remains a persistent challenge for EFL learners across different educational systems, making effective learning strategies essential for academic success. This study examines Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) used by undergraduate English students in Indonesia and Pakistan focusing on differences influenced by educational and cultural contexts. Using a descriptive quantitative method, data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire from 114 students across seven universities. The questionnaire, adapted from Goundar (2019) and based on Gu and Johnson's (1996) framework, categorized VLS into meta cognitive, cognitive, memory, and activation strategies. Data analysis using SPSS included descriptive statistics, normality tests, t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Kruskal-Wallis analysis. The results revealed significant differences in VLS preferences, with cognitive strategies being the most dominant in both groups. However, Pakistani students demonstrated higher meta cognitive strategy use than their Indonesian counterparts. These findings highlight the impact of educational systems on VLS selection. The study suggests incorporating meta cognitive and activation strategies into language learning curricula to enhance students' vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

In Indonesia, formal foreign language learning typically begins in school. Among the various challenges that students often encounter, vocabulary acquisition is a significant one. An adequate vocabulary base is crucial as it enables learners to effectively comprehend linguistic input (through listening and reading) and to produce coherent output (in speaking and writing). Therefore, this study investigated the effectiveness of song-based and storytelling-based learning methods on English vocabulary acquisition among first-grade elementary school students. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed with 30 participants, divided into three groups: a song-based learning group (n=10), a storytelling-based learning group (n=10), and a control group (n=10) that received no specific intervention. Results indicated that the song-based learning group achieved the highest mean gain score in vocabulary acquisition (61.2), compared to the storytelling-based learning group (45.0) and the control group (20.0). Statistical analyses confirmed significant differences in vocabulary acquisition gain scores among the groups. Post-hoc tests revealed that both intervention groups performed significantly better than the control group. Although the song-based learning group showed a descriptively higher mean gain score than the storytelling group, this difference was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that incorporating songs can effectively enhance engagement and retention in early English language learning.

Abstract

In Indonesian multilingual classrooms, students come to the classrooms with the ability to speak more than one language. Previous studies have highlighted that teachers should view the languages as resources for learning, instead of problems. In this context, translanguaging emerges as a relevant and pedagogical approach to be implemented. This study investigates the perceptions of three Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers about translanguaging, the kinds of translanguaging that they implemented, and the ways they dealt with the challenges. A case study was employed, with the data collected through a series of semi-structured interviews and multiple classroom observations from three purposely sampling EFL teachers. Thematic analysis was applied to identify the patterns in the data. Findings reveal that teachers viewed translanguaging positively, as it aided comprehension and improved students’ confidence by providing linguistic support in students' native language. The forms of translanguaging included translation, code-switching, code-mixing, and transliteration, with code-mixing being the most frequent and transliteration was not found. All these findings highlight the importance of implementing translanguaging pedagogical strategies that actively promote multilingualism in the classrooms. This study offers the ways in which teachers could implement such strategies and provides directions for further research.

Abstract

In the development of modern learning, the use of digital media as a modern learning tool is increasingly important to encourage the effectiveness of the learning process. One of the teaching media innovations that can be used to attract students' interest in mastering the material is the Word Wall game. This study investigates the effect of the Word Wall game on students’ vocabulary mastery compared to conventional instruction, addressing the urgent need for engaging digital media to enhance English learning in secondary schools. Employing a quasi-experimental quantitative design with pretests and posttests, the research involved 40 eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah 1 Samarinda in the 2024/2025 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. The experimental group received vocabulary instruction using the Word Wall game, while the control group followed traditional methods. Results show substantial improvement in the experimental class (pretest 56.50; posttest 82.50) compared to the control group (pretest 58.00; posttest 68.50). The independent t-test yielded a significance value of 0.001, indicating a statistically significant effect of the Word Wall game. This study contributes evidence that digital game-based media can effectively support vocabulary acquisition. However, the limited sample suggests the need for broader and longitudinal research.

Abstract

Student-centered learning has become a prominent focus in modern education, encouraging approaches that promote learners’ active participation and emotional engagement. Mindful learning, which emphasizes awareness, reflection, and present-moment focus, has been shown to support these goals. However, few studies have explored how it is practically implemented in English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms. This study aims to investigate the implementation of mindful learning strategies in English Language Teaching (ELT) and their impact on student motivation and engagement. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research involved one English teacher and 30 eighth-grade students at MTS Muslimin Indonesia Center Samarinda. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and pre- and post-intervention student motivation and engagement questionnaires. The observation results revealed that teachers had begun to apply mindful learning principles such as focused attention and reflection, although not yet in a systematic manner. Major challenges faced by teachers included time constraints, lack of formal training, and initial resistance from students. Quantitative analysis showed a significant increase in student motivation and engagement scores following the implementation of mindful learning strategies. These findings support the application of mindful approaches in ELT and highlight their benefits for enhancing students’ learning experiences. The study also emphasizes the need for institutional support and structured teacher training to ensure more effective implementation of this approach.

Abstract

Many approaches can be employed in vocabulary teaching and learning. One of these approaches is gamification. The goals of the study are to see if gamification approach through wordwall.nets’ utilization can increase students' vocabulary mastery and to pinpoint the word category that demonstrates the most progress. Using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model, this study assesses if word wall media can deepen students' vocabulary proficiency, and also investigates which category of content words exhibits the most gains after the platform is implemented. The population in this study are eighth-grade students from MTs Negeri 2 Palu, sampled VIII D class, and the sample was chosen using purposive sampling technique. The data was analyzed using the paired sample t-test. Data analysis reveals a clear distinction between the students' pre-test and post-test outcomes. The average of students’ results on the pre-test rises from 36.04 to 52.2 on the post test. The paired sample t-test demonstrates a statistically significant increase in the pre-test and post-test scores (Sig (2-tailed) = 0.000). This supports the alternative research hypothesis (Ha). Indicating wordwall.net is a useful tool for enhancing the vocabulary skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Palu. The findings also confirms adjective as the content word that has impressive progress after the platforms’ application.
