Abstract

Educators encounter challenges in performing materials adaptation stemming from time limitations, institutional responsibilities, administrative demands, and a dearth of formal training in materials development resulting in improper adaptation and ineffective learning activities. This research investigated the process of adapting materials as a qualitative case study. The data were gathered from a senior high school teacher in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, by means of document analysis (e.g., teaching materials), observation, and interview. The results revealed that the instructor frequently added and modified educational resources to facilitate learning through several modalities. The act of deleting, simplifying, and rearranging was occasionally performed. Nevertheless, students’ reflection on course contents, inadequate level of difficulty, demanding tasks, and excessive reliance on first language remained as issues. This study emphasizes the role of adaptation in promoting meaningful learning experiences and urges the integration of culturally relevant themes with a variety of learning activities. Educators can use these findings to support professional developments focused on effective material adaption tactics, allowing them to reflect on their existing methods, try new approaches, and interact with colleagues to share successful practices.

改编 EFL 教材及其对印尼中学生语言学习的影响
由于时间限制、机构责任、行政要求以及缺乏正规的教材开发培训,教育工作者在进行教材改编时遇到了挑战,导致改编不当和学习活动效果不佳。本研究以定性案例研究的形式调查了教材改编的过程。通过文件分析(如教材)、观察和访谈,从印度尼西亚班达亚齐的一名高中教师那里收集了数据。研究结果显示,该教师经常添加和修改教育资源,以通过多种方式促进学习。删除、简化和重新排列的行为偶尔也会发生。然而,学生对课程内容的反思、难度不够、任务繁重、过度依赖母语等问题依然存在。本研究强调了适应性在促进有意义学习体验中的作用,并敦促将与文化相关的主题与各种学习活动相结合。教育工作者可以利用这些研究结果来支持以有效的教材改编策略为重点的专业发展,使他们能够反思现有的方法,尝试新的方法,并与同事互动,分享成功的做法。
