Abstract

Studies on the relationship between teacher use of ICT and student achievement have been numerous, but those involving other intervening variables, such as technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPCK), are still limited. This study examined the relationships between the use of computer technology (CT) by Indonesian EFL teachers and student achievement, taking into account the TPCK frameworks. Explanatory correlation serves as the research design, as this study was intended to explain the associations among variables under study. Data on teachers

Abstract

Although many research studies discussed argumentative essays, little is known about argumentative essays discussing the dialogical exchange of argumentation. This study aims to investigate the distribution of elements and the quality of argumentative essays produced by EFL students. The content analysis was employed to examine their argumentative essays. The data were garnered from essay writing tests for forty students of the English Department at a state university in Palangka Raya, Indonesia. They were assigned to write an argumentative essay about "Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The data analysis comprised collecting, categorizing, and displaying the data and conclusion drawing. The results indicated that (1) a greater number of the students were not able to supply all elements of an argumentative essay, such as an explanation of an issue, thesis statement, counterargument, refutation, and conclusion, and (2) most of them failed to obtain excellence qualification. The study findings imply how teachers can redesign the materials, find effective strategies for teaching an argumentative essay, and provide many practice opportunities. The teachers should focus on teaching an argumentative essay element by allowing the students to understand the goal of each element and integrate them to form a well-developed argumentative essay.

Abstract

Recent studies in academic writing have used coaching to develop specific skills and affective variables. There are limited studies on coaching academic writing using genre pedagogy (GP) with adult learners, specifically Indonesian EFL teachers. This study investigated how academic writing coaching activities (AWCA) that implement GP could help develop the writing skills of public school teachers in Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This qualitative case study involved fifty-seven participants who attended the coaching. Data obtained from participant observations and open-ended questionnaires were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis, and the participants

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

Many studies have shown that translanguaging promotes inclusive and dynamic learning environments. However, little is known about multimodal techniques to improve student engagement and satisfaction. The present study aims to examine the impact of these combined strategies on student understanding, motivation, and identity construction in language acquisition. The study involved twenty students in the second semester of the English Language Education Department at a university in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia. The data were garnered through a quantitative method using a questionnaire and a qualitative method using in-depth interviews. Out of the total number of participants, five students were selected for in-depth interviews to explore rich data on students' emotional, motivational, cognitive, and expressive responses to translanguaging. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed statistically while the data obtained from the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results suggest that adding translanguaging and multimodal strategies to the learning environment promotes a more engaging and inclusive atmosphere, thereby enhancing student satisfaction and language proficiency. Conversely, complications were identified for students with diminished proficiency requiring further assistance. The research emphasizes the potential of translanguaging to enhance linguistic competence, student confidence, and motivation, indicating that it is a valuable pedagogical tool in EFL classrooms.

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

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
