Designing Integrated Program for Teaching Language, Literature, and Arts for Young Learners

Much research discussed the value of teaching additional language, literature, and the arts for young learners. Among the many benefits, some research mentioned the development of children’s knowledge, emotion, intellect, imagination, as well as reading habits. Collectively, most studies in this area suggested facilitating the teaching of language, literature, and the arts as a part of lesson planning in the classroom. However, in an ESL context such as Indonesia, the ideal situation for the incorporation of language, literature, and the arts is not easy to accomplish. Therefore, the study outlines a design of a program that integrates the teaching of language, literature, and the arts to young learners. In the process, an ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model is employed. The study anchored the development of the program design based upon two important elements. First, the consideration of factors necessary as the value of the foundation of the program, such as age group, benefits, and the types of activities. Second, the categorization of the types of activities is divided into two divisions, namely the individual program and the combined program. The result of the study shows that while the value of the teachings of language, literature, and the arts has been acknowledged, we need to facilitate the learning into a well-structured program for a more optimum result

Enhancing Student Literacy and Engagement through the Development of STEM-Focused Educational Materials

In the evolving landscape of education, the fusion of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines with literacy education emerges as a pivotal strategy for fostering comprehensive learning. Despite its significance, elementary schools face obstacles in seamlessly incorporating STEM principles into their curricula, highlighting a gap in effective STEM-based educational practices. This research endeavors to pinpoint the hurdles impeding STEM integration and to devise strategic interventions aimed at bolstering STEM-centric learning, with a special emphasis on enhancing student literacy. Through detailed observations and dynamic discussions with key school stakeholders—including Principals and faculty members—the study identified foundational challenges such as a limited grasp of STEM concepts among teachers, a scarcity of relevant instructional materials, an absence of innovative strategies for teaching literacy and technology, and a general unfamiliarity with STEM-focused pedagogy. Responding to these challenges, the study orchestrated a series of targeted interventions. These included Focus Group Discussions (FGD) to foster a collaborative learning environment, literacy-centric training workshops to empower educators, an expansion of school library resources to include STEM-related materials, and support in crafting student textbooks that are oriented towards STEM learning. The post-intervention phase unveiled significant progress: educators exhibited a more profound understanding of how to develop STEM-focused learning materials and acknowledged the critical role of literacy and numeracy in student education. The strategic interventions not only mitigated the initial barriers but also equipped educators in elementary schools with the essential tools and knowledge to guide their students through an integrated learning journey in literacy and numeracy, underpinned by the core tenets of STEM education. This transformation underscores the effectiveness of the tailored approaches in enhancing the educational framework to support student success in a STEM-driven future

Speech Act Analysis of Teacher Talk in Indonesian EFL Classroom: A Case Study at Secondary School

This study analyzed teacher talk in Indonesian EFL classroom. The research aimed to investigate the predominant speech act classification employed by the teacher, the factors influencing an EFL teacher using the predominant speech acts, as well as its impact on instructional activities. It applied a qualitative case study involving one English teacher as the participant. The study used Searle’s taxonomy of speech act classification as the instrument. Data were collected from the recording of classroom observation and interview. The finding of this study revealed the frequency of each classification found as the following: 69,4% for directives, 19,4% for representatives, 8,3% for expressives, and 2,8% for commissives. Directive speech acts were the most frequent used by the teacher in the classroom. The study further suggested that creating better classroom management and guiding the students became teacher’s reasons using directive speech act which potentially impacted instructional activities by influencing students’ behavior to be more attentive and engaged, making class operation smoothly, and creating productive and meaningful learning experiences. The results contribute greater insights to the dynamics of teacher-student interactions and may direct the development of effective pedagogical strategies to be used in EFL classrooms

Exploring Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety: A Case Study of Pre-Service Teachers Professional Education Program

Pre-service teachers face profound worries regarding Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety (FLTA), especially in the Indonesian context. This study investigates the determinants of FLTA, the methods teachers employ for dealing with anxiety, and the contribution of the Teacher Education Program (PPG) to alleviating the stress associated with teaching. Two in-service teachers who completed the PPG program were interviewed using a case study design, and the material was examined through thematic analysis. The data is presented based on the Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety Scale proposed by Horwitz (1996). According to the survey, the primary contributors to anxiety are factors including students' lack of enthusiasm and personal perceptions of their language proficiency. Teachers use various strategies to combat stress such as modifying lesson plans and raising students' awareness. PPG considerably decreases anxiety by improving pedagogical abilities and influencing instructors' perspectives. The results shed light on FLTA in the Indonesian educational setting resulting in implications for programs that prepare future teachers along with strategies for diminishing pre-service teachers' anxiety
