This study focuses on conducting a need analysis related to the use of audiovisuals in learning climate change within the context of EFL classrooms as needs analysis will inform us what is suitable for 7th grade students who have just started learning English formally. Specifically, the research investigates the requirements of 7th-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Palembang for audiovisual resources to enhance climate literacy. Employing a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods such as questionnaires and interviews, the study uncovers students' strong desire to learn about climate change through audiovisuals. Moreover, it identifies a preference for audiovisual media over traditional text-based materials and highlights the support from teachers and stakeholders at MTs Negeri 2 Palembang for integrating climate change education into EFL teaching practices. In light of these findings, the researchers recommend the development of audiovisual resources tailored to facilitate the seamless integration of climate change education within EFL classrooms. Additionally, they advocate for teacher training to effectively utilize audiovisual media as an instructional tool. This study contributes significantly to climate change education by addressing the identified needs of both students and teachers, thereby guiding the design of effective instructional materials and teaching practices.","PeriodicalId":33640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English Education and Teaching","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140398106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of the study was to identify specific aspects of the learning material that students consider important, areas they find challenging, and suggestions for curriculum improvement. The results show that students value a combination of theoretical and practical learning, with particular emphasis on real-life case studies, multimedia skills, and the use of social media in journalism. Students also highlight the need for greater interaction with professional journalistic practitioners and field practice opportunities such as internships. Key difficulties students face include understanding journalistic investigative concepts, ethics, and legal aspects, as well as the development of technical skills such as writing, editing, and media analysis. This research suggests the need for a flexible and responsive curriculum that integrates the latest technology, provides teaching materials relevant to industry developments, and strengthens students' practical skills. These findings contribute to the development of more effective journalism teaching practices, which focus on preparing students for real challenges in the journalism industry.","PeriodicalId":33640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English Education and Teaching","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140405252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Language acquisition and speaking are both interrelated aspects. Talking is the most effective form of communication. Aspects of biological maturity, and cognitive and social environment affect the acquisition of children's language and speaking abilities. However, not all children have good language development, some children experience disturbances in their biological aspects so that the acquisition of language and speech is delayed. These problems are interesting for further analysis related to the factors of language development in children with (speech delay). The research findings indicate that several words were mispronounced, leading to information that did not match the child’s intended meaning based on the observations and interviews that the researchers conducted during the study. The study revealed that toddlers with speech impairments had trouble pronouncing and articulating words clearly. Even simple words in daily activities at home were shaky in some cases. Researchers can also draw the conclusion that, despite the fact that the child interacts often with parents, relatives, and neighbors in their social milieu, the youngster nonetheless exhibits speech difficulties. This is a result of the child's frequent inability to articulate the thoughts that are going through his mind, even in a single sentence.","PeriodicalId":33640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English Education and Teaching","volume":"129 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140404934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used a qualitative research approach. The data for this study was gathered through interviews using a qualitative descriptive method. The interview process was conducted with five students from class IX.2 SMPN 4 Bulukumba. The findings showed that students believed translanguaging makes them learn English more easily, feel comfortable in class, communicate with the teacher effectively, be more interested in learning, and add new vocabulary. Some students explained that they experienced difficulty during the use of translanguaging by the teacher, but most of them realized the importance of translanguaging in developing their English skills. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that the implementation of translanguaging has a positive impact in the process of teaching and learning English in EFL classroom. So, for English teachers, it is recommended to use translanguaging in classes where students’ English ability is still low with the aim that students can understand the material better, create a supportive environment, and encourage students to be active in class. Therefore, the use of translanguaging should be balanced and not replace the use of English as a whole.

Employing a quantitative descriptive research method, data were gathered through questionnaire surveys. The results indicate that the utilization of the Duolingo application by teachers contributes positively to the learning environment, resulting in noticeable improvements in English vocabulary among early childhood learners. The children demonstrated enhanced vocabulary skills after using the application over a specific duration. However, the study also highlights that the Duolingo application should not be relied upon as the sole source for English language learning in early childhood education. Its usage needs to be integrated into structured and teacher-directed learning approaches. Effective management of the application is crucial to maximize its benefits for young learners.

Considering the platform’s magnitude, this paper aims to explore the pre-service English teacher’s experiences during ITP to build professional development of EFL potential teachers from various activities abroad. In this study, a narrative inquiry was implemented and supplemented with data obtained from Tina (pseudonym), an EFL pre-service teacher in one of the Indonesian universities who joined a four-month ITP program abroad, particularly in Thailand. In collecting the data, semi-structured in-depth interviews that emphasized five eligibility aspects were used. The findings reveal that the pre-service teacher reaped plenty of meaningful experience from ITP in terms of the classroom situation, the implementation of basic teaching skills, the period of success or failure in teaching, values for EFL teacher candidates in ITP, critical incidents, and students’ general English competence after ITP. This study provides evidence and feedback for the institution for better planning and organization in implementing practicum. Further, it implies equipping student-teachers with sufficient skill and competence related to adaptability, cultural identity, fear, and emotions in facing challenging English instruction in the future through multiple exposures to teaching instruments and supporting situated environment facilities.","PeriodicalId":33640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English Education and Teaching","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139159445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
