Abstract

Many studies have discussed the challenges faced by international students in English-speaking countries, but little focus on the academic and social challenges in non-English-speaking countries. This study aims to investigate the academic and social challenges faced by undergraduate EFL students in a non-English-speaking country during the Indonesian International Students Mobility Awards (IISMA) program. This case study involved two participants of undergraduate Indonesian students purposively selected from the IISMA program at a state-partnered university in Olomouc, Czech Republic. The data were collected through interviews and reflective journals, and they were analyzed deductively using thematic analysis. The findings show that students have substantial challenges due to the requirement to understand varied English accents and the lack of a shared native language in the IISMA program. However, the students enhanced their English skills by interacting with local people and experiencing social and academic challenges. Despite these limitations, the use of supportive teaching methods and peer interactions enhances students' English proficiency and overall academic experience, even in non-English-speaking contexts like the Czech Republic. This suggests that such approaches could be widely applicable in similar educational environments, offering potential insights for improving language education

Abstract

Despite extensive research on vocabulary acquisition, limited attention has been given to how these theories are applied in English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching practices, particularly in Indonesia. This qualitative case study addresses this gap by exploring English lecturers' perceptions and use of incidental vocabulary learning (IVL) and the involvement load hypothesis (ILH) in their classrooms. Data were collected through interviews and classroom observations with five English lecturers from universities in Malang, Indonesia, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns and themes. The findings revealed that all participants recognized the importance of vocabulary in language learning and preferred implicit learning methods, such as exposure to authentic language in literature and films. However, the integration of theoretical concepts like vocabulary size and frequency into teaching practices was limited due to constraints such as time and lack of dedicated vocabulary instruction. Moreover, participants were unfamiliar with the ILH, though some of its elements were present in their teaching. The study suggests that better dissemination of research and professional development is essential to bridge the gap between theory and practice, ultimately improving vocabulary instruction in EFL contexts.

Abstract

Many studies have shown the enhancement of student engagement by integrating local content into digital learning resources. However, little is known about the interactively and culturally relevant materials in incorporating customizable and engaging content for students. The present study aims to develop an e-book focusing on narrative texts that incorporate local content stories for high school students in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. This research and development study utilized the ADDIE model and TPACK framework. The research involved 35 students in the eleventh grade at the senior high school. It also involved three English teachers and three external validators. Data were garnered through questionnaires, observations and interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics analysis, and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results show that expert validation indicated high-quality media presentation and local content integration. In addition, students

Abstract

In Yemen, there is a scarcity of research and a lack of application for phonics-based instruction. Hence, the present study aimed to explore EFL teachers' perspectives on the efficiency of phonics instruction in developing reading, spelling and pronunciation fluency among Yemeni EFL learners at primary schools. The study sample comprised 33 EFL teachers from six schools in Dhamar City, Yemen. The participants were asked to give their views and share their experiences on the efficacy of phonics-based instruction in developing the above-mentioned language skills. The participants were selected based on the convenient sampling technique and asked to respond to a questionnaire consisting of 15 statements. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS program version 22.0 to display descriptive statistics quantitatively. The results revealed that teaching phonics is so crucial for the development and improvement of learners' reading fluency, spelling mastery, and pronunciation proficiency. In addition, phonics teaching contributes to reducing and/or eliminating the learners' errors in spelling, reading, and pronunciation. The findings highlighted the importance of integrating phonics teaching into the curricula of English in the early stages at Yemeni schools.

Abstract

Despite the growing body of research on corrective feedback in foreign language learning, there remains a gap in understanding the specific strategies utilized by EFL teachers as observed by pre-service teachers firsthand. Based on the observed experiences of EFL pre-service teachers during their observational field teaching practice, this study aims to analyze how English teachers give their corrective feedback. This study employed a qualitative research approach with a case study design. Eleven Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers who had finished their field teaching practice were involved in the study. The qualitative data were gathered using reflective Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and semi-structured interviews. The result of qualitative data analysis revealed three emerging themes of teachers

Abstract

Due to its internationalization agenda, higher education institutions (HEI) in Indonesia adopted English as medium of instruction (EMI) programs despite the absence of a national policy document to regulate EMI. Studies on EMI policy in HEI focused on the effect policy could have on the dominant group and gave less highlight on EMI policy implementation management. This case study examined the management of EMI as language policy at the meso-(institutional) and micro-(classroom) levels. The data sources include the institutional policy document related to the EMI program, and interviews with seven EMI officers and seven EMI teachers at a Technological Institute in Indonesia. Using Spolsky's language management framework for the "sensitizing concept," the result of the thematic analysis of the data shows three major categories of EMI policy management: EMI classroom management mechanism, language-related mechanism, and incentivization mechanism. The EMI teachers practice EMI differently in the classroom. Three teachers used English only, while four teachers used multilingualism for content comprehension. The most highlighted managerial and teaching problems come from the students
