This study investigated the perspectives of non-English major students at an Islamic institution of higher education in Indonesia regarding the attributes of effective English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers. The study aimed to identify key factors students consider important in learning English and to explore teaching strategies that enhance learning effectiveness. A quantitative survey method was employed, involving 300 students from various non-English majors. Data were analyzed using ANOVA to examine differences among groups, followed by post-hoc Tukey tests to identify specific group differences. The results indicated that students rated communication skills (M = 4.52, SD = 0.61) and teaching methods (M = 4.47, SD = 0.65) as the most important attributes of effective EFL lecturers. These were followed by lecturer credibility (M = 4.32, SD = 0.68) and knowledge of English (M = 4.29, SD = 0.70). Additional influential factors included the quality of interpersonal relationships between lecturers and students, fairness in assessment, and organization and preparation in teaching. Furthermore, the study found that the strategic use of the mother tongue (L1) in instruction increased students' confidence in using English. The implications of this study underscore the importance of flexible teaching approaches that accommodate diverse learning styles. The use of interactive methods, educational technology, and clear material delivery can significantly enhance the effectiveness of English language teaching in higher education settings.

This study aims to analyze the contextual meaning of the word "cry" found in the texts of children's books by Enid Blyton and to explore how this word is translated into Indonesian. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research employs semantic analysis to understand the variations in meaning and emotional nuances contained in the use of the word "cry" across different narrative contexts. The qualitative semantic method allows the researcher to delve into the meanings of words within social and cultural contexts, as well as how these meanings can shift depending on the situation and the emotions of the characters. Data were collected from four purposively selected stories, and analysis was conducted on ten sentences containing the word "cry." The findings reveal that "cry" is a polysemous word that conveys a range of meanings, including expressions of joy, fear, and mockery, all of which are influenced by the narrative context. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding contextual meaning in literary analysis and translation, as well as the challenges faced in preserving emotional nuances when translating polysemous words.

Teachers have different backgrounds, and their opinions regarding "creative teaching" or "good teaching" methods are frequently shaped by a range of elements, such as their own teaching experiences, personal incentives, and organizational limitations. This setting frames teachers' initial attempts to cultivate creative practices, and their recognition of these effects influences their subsequent level of creativity. The goal of this research is to discover the characteristics that influence English language teaching (ELT) teachers' creativity. Researchers interviewed six English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers to learn more about the elements that drive their passion and creativity in the classroom. Researchers discovered that teachers' motivation, technology, school support, colleagues, and teaching knowledge and experience all had an impact on their creativity. Teachers can use these five aspects as guidelines to help them incorporate creativity into their lessons. Participants also believed that their creativity was required to inspire creativity in students, make learning fun, and support their learning. The quickly evolving potential of digital environments to support student-centered and self-directed learning seems to contribute to this belief. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that teachers do not naturally possess creativity, but they may cultivate it by adopting new ideas and improving their creative teaching skills.

The growing global demand for English proficiency has coincided with the increasing importance of technological literacy, accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. This study investigates the effectiveness of ELSA Speak, an AI-powered language learning application, in enhancing students’ speaking proficiency. A quasi-experimental mixed-method approach was employed, involving both an experimental and a control group. The research was conducted at Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika, where only two classes were available, prompting the use of convenience sampling to select participants based on availability and willingness. The sample included 35 students from class 33.1A.07 (experimental group) and 36 students from class 33.1B.07 (control group). Quantitative data were collected through oral pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed using t-tests in SPSS version 25. Qualitative data from in-depth interviews provided insights into how features such as structured levels and personalized feedback influenced students’ speaking development. Results showed that the control group’s scores increased from 58.78 to 65.81, while the experimental group’s scores rose from 61.43 to 75.03. Statistical analysis revealed a significance level (2-tailed) of <0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance of the alternative. The findings indicate that ELSA Speak significantly enhanced students’ speaking proficiency in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and content. The study concludes that integrating AI-based tools like ELSA Speak into university curricula offers a practical solution for improving language skills, especially in institutions with limited resources and instructional time

This study addresses the limitations of existing critical reading assessments in Indonesian higher education, which often focus narrowly on comprehension and recall, neglecting higher-order critical thinking and ecological literacy skills essential for addressing complex environmental challenges. The problem is evident as students frequently achieve near-perfect scores on current tests that inadequately measure their ability to critically analyze academic texts or apply ecological awareness. This research develops a comprehensive assessment specification for a Critical Reading course at Media Nusantara University that integrates ecological literacy alongside traditional reading skills. Using a Design and Development Research (DDR) methodology, the study analyzed course syllabi, learning outcomes, and existing assessments, and incorporated feedback from a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving one lecturer and two assessment experts, alongside interviews with five students. The resulting assessment balances multiple-choice questions with open-ended essay tasks and includes ecological case studies to better evaluate higher-order thinking and real-world problem-solving abilities. The revised assessment specification uniquely combines critical reading with ecological literacy to prepare students for both academic success and responsible environmental citizenship. Findings indicate that this approach fosters deeper engagement with texts and environmental issues and offers a practical framework for more valid and reliable assessments in higher education.

This article discusses a semantic analysis of the denotative and connotative meanings in three poems by Langston Hughes: "Dreams," "Mother to Son," and "Harlem." The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the theoretical framework of meaning by Geoffrey Leech (1981) and the semiotic approach of Daniel Chandler (2007). The analysis results show that each poem not only conveys individual aspirations and challenges but also represents the collective condition of marginalized communities. The connotative meanings of words and metaphors in the poems serve as a form of resistance to social oppression, implying resilience and emotional depth rooted in a history of struggle. Thus, this study demonstrates that literary works are not only a medium for artistic expression but also an instrument that responds to social injustice and inspires collective awareness in the fight for freedom.

This study aims to examine the controversy of online learning in English language education, highlighting its impact on accessibility, student engagement, and communication skills development. The focus of the study is on an in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of online learning at Mukhtar Syafaat, an educational institution that has implemented this method intensively post-pandemic. The research method uses a mixed approach with interviews, observations, and documentation, which aims to obtain qualitative and quantitative data that support a more comprehensive understanding. The results of the study indicate that online learning provides flexibility and ease of access, but faces significant challenges in increasing student engagement and social interaction. The lack of interactive pedagogical design and minimal support for collaborative technology are the main causes of dysfunction in several aspects of learning. However, with better technology integration and a collaborative approach, online learning has great potential to support inclusive and adaptive education. The contribution of this study is to provide a new perspective in the development of more effective online learning methods, especially for English language education. This study is also an important reference for educators, policy makers, and technology developers in creating online learning systems that support the development of language skills holistically.

This study aims to analyze the strategy of translating English slang based on TikTok content by fifth semester students of English Education Department Universitas Islam Madura. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through a translation worksheet and semi-structured interviews with 23 students. Ten slang words from TikTok were chosen as translation material. The results showed that the most dominant strategy used was equivalence, where students tended to choose the appropriate meaning in the target culture, such as translating "you bet" to "pasti" or "oke", and "slay" to "memukau". Other strategies such as adaptation, expansion, and free translation are also used according to context. However, mistakes are still found, especially when students translate literally, such as "pick me" into "choosing me", which causes the meaning is not right. From the results of the interview, the main obstacles in translating slang are idioms and cultural references, as well as the cultural distance between the source language and the target. This research shows the importance of cultural awareness and bilingual ability to translate slang contextually and effectively.

Abstract This study investigated the impact of peer interaction and self-efficacy on student engagement in online learning among 100 tenth-grade students at SMAN 1 Mancak, Serang, Banten, Indonesia. The primary objective was to explore the influence of peer interaction and self-efficacy on students' engagement in online learning environments. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the extent to which peer interaction influences student engagement, how self-efficacy affects student engagement, and whether these two factors jointly predict levels of student engagement. Employing a quantitative survey design and multiple linear regression analysis, the research examined the individual and combined effects of these variables on students' behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement in virtual learning environments. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between peer interaction and self-efficacy with student engagement (R = 0.722, R2 = 0.521). Both peer interaction (B = 0.481, p < 0.001, β = 0.418) and self-efficacy (B = 0.402, p < 0.001, β = 0.404) independently and significantly predicted student engagement, with nearly equal relative contributions. These results underscore the critical roles of both social connections and individual beliefs in one's capabilities in fostering active participation in online learning. The study highlights the importance of designing online learning environments that facilitate meaningful peer interactions and enhance students' self-efficacy to improve overall engagement and learning outcomes.
