Overcoming the challenges of English vocabulary learning for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through the development of virtual reality technology
Full text linkThe use of Virtual Reality for students with special needs, such as ASD, provides a fairer opportunity for them to develop in learning foreign language vocabulary, in this case English. The research method applied was Human-Centered Design, carried out through stages such as: Context of Use Analysis, User Needs Analysis, Solution Design, and Solution Evaluation. The results of the study, after conducting trials with ASD students, produced a product specification in the form of a VR-based English vocabulary learning application for ASD children, featuring basic vocabulary content, simple navigation, ASD-friendly design, and progress tracking support for teachers/therapists. Furthermore, the validation of the developed Virtual Reality technology, based on assessments from media experts, content experts, and therapists, was declared Highly Valid. This conclusion was drawn from the results of the validity questionnaires given to the experts, as well as from the vocabulary mastery of ASD students after learning English using the developed Virtual Reality technology—showing that they were able to pronounce and articulate the vocabulary correctly, as well as recall the English words of the observed objects.

Indonesian EFL Teachers’ Conceptions of Critical Thinking: Challenges, Strategies, and Implications for 21st-Century Education
Full text linkCritical thinking (CT) has been widely recognized as a core 21st-century competency that equips learners to analyze, evaluate, and create knowledge rather than merely reproduce it. In the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, particularly in Indonesia, the integration of CT into classroom practices remains complex due to curricular, pedagogical, and systemic constraints. This study aimed to investigate Indonesian EFL teachers’ conceptions of CT, the challenges they face in integrating it into classroom instruction, and the strategies they adopt to promote it. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from thirty-two senior high school EFL teachers through questionnaires and follow-up semi-structured interviews with eight participants. The findings revealed that while teachers generally acknowledged CT as essential for fostering problem-solving and independent learning, their understandings were fragmented and often reduced to surface-level interpretations. Teachers reported limited training, lack of clear assessment tools, and exam-oriented systems as significant obstacles, though some implemented strategies such as debates, case studies, and project-based learning. The study underscores the need for sustained professional development, curricular alignment, and institutional support to enable teachers to embed CT more systematically in EFL classrooms

The research used a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The independent variables in this study are the role playing method (X1) and the presentation method (X2), while the dependent variable is speaking ability (Y). The subjects were 10 students. The instrument used was a speaking skills test administered before and after the treatment. The data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using normality tests and paired sample t-tests.
The results showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking skills after the application of role playing, presentation, and the combination of both methods. The average pretest score of 49.80 increased to 78.70 after role playing, 80.70 after presentation, and 84.00 after the combination. The paired sample t-test revealed a significance value (Sig.) < 0.05 for all treatments, indicating that the differences between pretest and posttest scores were statistically significant. The combination method produced the highest and most consistent improvement in students' speaking performance.It can be concluded that both the role playing and presentation methods, whether applied separately or in combination, have a positive effect on improving students’ speaking abilities. The combined approach is considered the most effective in enhancing students’ confidence, expression, and structured speaking skills.
