The researchers observed that the difficulty faced by students at the time was the difficulty of memorizing new vocabulary, which hindered the progress of their language skills, specifically in learning English. This study aimed to understand students’ perspectives on using English song lyrics for vocabulary mastery. Using a qualitative method where questionnaires and interviews were used as the instruments, the study found some important points related to students’ perceptions of using English songs. The study found that the use of English songs improves students’ English vocabulary mastery and pronunciation despite the challenges they face when listening to English songs. Through the challenge, students found two ways of coping with the challenges that teachers need to take into account when teaching using English songs. Some limitations and future research suggestions are also explained.

English language teaching in primary schools provides an important basis for students’ language development. The development of English language skills in elementary school students is important. The primary goal of this study was to explore the challenges that teachers face when teaching English at SDN Mangunsari. The qualitative method was used in this study to identify and classify the specifics of challenges in teaching English. The researchers gather the data through a observation to identify and address challenges faced by teachers when teaching English at SDN Mangunsari. The collected data will be analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. The difficulties in teaching English at SDN Mangunsari include curriculum transitions, gaps generated by students of different ages within the same grade, and inconsistency caused by a lack of alignment between teaching and assessment. To overcome the challenges found at SDN Mangunsari when teaching English, transition English classes, cooperative learning, and consistent English teaching in all grades must be implemented. These strategies attempt to create a suitable learning environment and to make the English language topic more accessible at SDN Mangunsari.

Code-switching is an exciting phenomenon in the English classroom, especially in multilingual settings. While it is being practiced, several types of it have appeared. Dealing with the previous phenomenon, this research is intended to describe the types of code-switching used by the English teacher while conducting English classrooms. Descriptive research was used as the framework of this study to cope with the earlier goal. In collecting the data, the audio recording was used to record the classroom conversation and then transcribed into written form. After that, the data was analyzed. Furthermore, the findings highlight that the teacher uses three types of code-switching: tag-switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching. Also, this study reclassified the tag-switching into tag-switching with tag-phrase at the initial and the end of the sentence. Then, it regrouped inter-sentential switching into inter-sentential switching between clause and sentence and inter-sentential switching between two sentences. Last, it recategorized intra-sentential switching into intra-sentential switching with embedded words and intra-sentential switching with the inserted words. By describing the previous findings, it is hoped that types of code-switching can be clearly understood.

Many educational institutions have been conducting writing assessments to measure students’ ability in writing, yet little is known about whether time restriction and learning strategies are contributing factors to students’ performance. In Indonesian educational institutions, writing assessments serve as a means to measure students’ proficiency in articulating thoughts in the target language, providing teachers with insights into their linguistic ability. The objective of this study is to determine whether allocating extra time for timed academic essays will substantially enhance the quality of students' writing. Additionally, this study seeks to uncover the correlation between students' L2 learning strategies and their writing performance. This study used a quantitative design. The main instruments were questionnaires and writing tests collected at two parallel classes of a private university in Indonesia, comprising of 50 students in total as the study participants. The quantitative methods used independent t-tests and Spearman’s rho correlation to analyze the data. The result showed that time limit had a significant effect on writing performance (t(34.6)= 3.185, p= .003). Another result indicated minimal to no correlation between writing scores and autonomous learning practices. In conclusion, this study offers valuable and practical implications in the writing assessment industry that there should be a re-evaluation in the administration of writing assessment in educational institutions in Indonesia that truly reflects students’ writing ability.
许多教育机构一直在进行写作评估,以衡量学生的写作能力,但对于时间限制和学习策略是否是影响学生成绩的因素却知之甚少。在印尼的教育机构中,写作评估是衡量学生用目标语言表达思想的能力的一种手段,为教师提供了了解学生语言能力的途径。本研究的目的是确定为定时学术论文分配额外时间是否会大幅提高学生的写作质量。此外,本研究还试图揭示学生的第二语言学习策略与写作成绩之间的相关性。本研究采用定量设计。主要工具是在印度尼西亚一所私立大学的两个平行班级中收集的调查问卷和写作测试,共有 50 名学生作为研究对象。定量方法采用独立 t 检验和 Spearman's rho 相关性分析数据。结果显示,时间限制对写作成绩有显著影响(t(34.6)= 3.185,p= .003)。另一项结果表明,写作成绩与自主学习实践之间几乎没有相关性。总之,本研究为写作评估行业提供了有价值的实践意义,即印尼教育机构应重新评估写作评估的管理,以真实反映学生的写作能力。

The TOEIC® Listening and Reading Test has been updated since 2018 and has been utilized for various purposes. This present study attempts to investigate the challenges faced by EFL students in achieving certain desired scores on the TOEIC® Updated Test, particularly in the listening section. This study employed qualitative methodology and CBT (computer-based test) of TOEIC® updated test was used as the instrument. Data was taken from the test results of 52 participants who joined POLBAN’s (Politeknik Negeri Bandung) TOEIC® Preparation and Prediction for IISMA 2024 conducted in January 2024. The results reveal that in solving the listening section in the TOEIC® Updated Test, test takers encounter difficulties in 12 different targeted skills. Some targeted skills are considered more challenging than others, i.e., understanding information questions and tag questions in the listening part II and making inferences as well as understanding graphics in the listening part IV. Surprisingly, understanding graphics is one of the new types of questions in the TOEIC® Updated Test. The fruitful implications of this study, both theoretically and practically, will be further explained in this article.

Students have a reason for reading a passage or a book. Fostering students' reading motivation is a difficult but necessary aspect. The sudden transition due to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 has also driven the educational field to be online learning where the teacher still should advocate the best way to develop a student’s reading motivation which is a novel English learning environment. Teacher strategies are an attempt to attract students’ attention to learning and this study focuses on reading skills. This research aimed to find out the teacher strategies applied in teaching reading to foster students' reading motivation in online learning. The researchers used descriptive qualitative methods and the instruments of this research were classroom observation and semi-structured interviews. The subject of this research was English teachers and EFL students at MAN 2 Batam. This study revealed that the teacher applied three strategies: (1) read aloud, (2) scaffolding, and (3) reading outside class activity in teaching reading to foster reading motivation. Indeed, the teacher strategies applied in teaching reading through online learning at MAN 2 Batam foster students reading motivation as the advocate way of the teacher to promote reading skills.

The availability of texts and how they are produced have become more multimodal, along with the rapid development of technology. In the English as Foreign Language (EFL) context, this change has influenced classroom instructions where digital multimodal composing (DMC) is incorporated into students’ meaning-making. This qualitative study aims to review recent studies on DMC in the post-secondary EFL contexts to find out the DMC tasks implemented in this setting and what implications have resulted from the tasks. Based on the analytical review of twenty empirical studies from 2015-2022, DMC was generally used to leverage students’ English language skills, train students’ digital literacy skills, advocate students’ voices, build learning engagement and investment, and increase students’ participation in collaborative projects. The implication of the studies showed that teacher support is needed and that the DMC tasks afford to expand students’ meaning-making. Future direction on DMC studies in the post-secondary EFL context is also discussed.

Reading in large classes can lead to many difficulties demanding for various teaching strategies to overcome any difficulties. This research aimed to find the difficulties found in large classes of reading and analyzed the strategies used to overcome them. It used a systematic analysis method that identifies existing literature available online. The data collection was carried out through systematic literature review stages: 1) framing questions for a review, 2) identifying relevant work, 3) assessing the quality of studies, 4) summarizing the evidence, and 5) interpreting the findings. The results show that students learning English in large classes particularly in secondary schools are always constrained in making inference, finding main idea, retention of detail information, understanding vocabulary, and locating reference. Concerning the strategies, junior and senior high school students must be involved in joyful and meaningful group fun activities forreading. However, at university level, the self and autonomous learning style must be implemented. The finding implies on the need for collaborative learning method and also group fun activities for reading. It can be also helped by utilizing the technology and digital platform to make the students have more experiences inlearning reading in large class.
