A Teachers Role in Addressing Challenges and Strategies in Secondary English Teaching
No full textThis study explores the multifaceted role of English teachers in addressing the instructional challenges encountered at the secondary school level in Samarinda, Indonesia. Given the increasing demand for English proficiency and the limitations within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, this research investigates the core obstacles faced by educators and the strategies they implement to enhance student learning outcomes. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, using structured interviews with purposively selected English teachers based on experience, educational background, teaching methodology, and school location. Thematic analysis revealed three principal themes: instructional challenges (e.g., time constraints, student apathy, technical limitations), pedagogical considerations in choosing learning strategies, and adaptive solutions such as differentiated instruction and peer collaboration. The findings highlight teachers’ critical role in adjusting instructional methods to students' diverse needs and utilizing collaborative networks to overcome resource limitations. The study contributes original insight by focusing on localized, real-world teacher experiences in a specific urban-rural Indonesian setting an area that remains underrepresented in existing literature. It underscores the necessity of systemic support and continuous professional development for EFL teachers navigating complex classroom dynamics
Exploring Learning Motivation Through Contextual Learning in ESP Classes: A Study on Automotive Engineering Students
No full textThis research investigated how contextual learning influences students’ motivation and English proficiency in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes for automotive engineering students. Motivated by the disconnect between general English curricula and students’ vocational goals, this research applies contextual strategies aligned with the ARCS motivational model—Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction. A total of 91 students participated, and data were collected using a validated questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including Cronbach’s alpha (0.851), descriptive statistics, t-tests, and multiple regression, were used. The findings reveal that contextual learning significantly enhances students’ motivation, especially in the areas of relevance and attention, and contributes positively to their English language performance. Regression analysis showed that motivational factors explained 18.1% of the variance in English proficiency scores, with “Relevance” emerging as the strongest predictor. Students reported higher satisfaction and engagement when learning materials reflected their professional context. This research confirms that integrating real-world content into ESP instruction not only improves student motivation but also supports linguistic outcomes. These results advocate for ESP curricula that are closely tied to industry-related content to better equip vocational students for future professional demands
