Lecturers' Interpersonal Communication Skills and Their Influence on Student Engagement in EFL Speaking Classes
No full textThis study examines the role of lecturers' interpersonal communication skills in enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speaking classes, focusing on both verbal and nonverbal communication strategies. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving two EFL lecturers in Indonesia.

Lecturers highlighted the importance of building rapport and creating a supportive classroom environment to foster student engagement, aligned with Vygotsky's Social Constructivist Theory on interactive learning. However, challenges related to cultural variations in nonverbal communication were noted, indicating a need for intercultural awareness in diverse classrooms.

Lecturers’perception of Hybrid Learning Model In Teaching English For Business
No full textThis study explores lecturers’ perceptions of the hybrid learning model in teaching English for Business, focusing on its implementation, challenges, and benefits. The hybrid model, blending face-to-face and online instruction, is increasingly adopted in higher education to accommodate diverse student needs and enhance learning outcomes. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving four lecturers. The findings reveal hybrid learning facilitates a comprehensive understanding of course material by integrating theoretical and practical elements. In-person sessions were utilized for interactive discussions and role-playing, while online platforms supported asynchronous learning and resource access. However, lecturers faced challenges, including technological barriers such as unstable internet connections, increased workload due to dual teaching responsibilities, and difficulties in maintaining student engagement during asynchronous activities. Despite these issues, the hybrid model enhanced flexibility, promoted digital literacy and fostered innovative teaching practices. Students gained valuable self-regulation and technology skills, while lecturers leveraged diverse teaching tools to create dynamic lessons. The study concludes that hybrid learning is an effective model for teaching English for Business, offering flexibility, accessibility, and enriched learning experiences. Its success, however, depends on addressing key challenges, including technological infrastructure, training, and support for both lecturers and students. This research contributes to understanding the potential and limitations of hybrid learning, emphasizing the need for strategic planning and institutional investment to optimize its implementation

Kumpulan Puisi Hybrid Learning
No full textPengantar Penerbit
Puisi merupakan suatu cara bagi penyair untuk mengungkapkan opini,
gagasan atau perasaan dalam kalimat yang ringkas dan sederhana,
namun kaya makna.
Ketika editor mendapatkan naskah ini, salah satu penulis
mengutarakan hasratnya untuk berbagi gairah perjuangan dalam
mendidik tunas bangsa selama masa endemik. Daya juang seolah tak
kenal pupus dalam berbagi ilmu secara hybrid learning.
Sebagaimana yang kita ketahui, Covid-19 sangat berdampak
luas termasuk diantaranya menyekat temu sapa antara pendidik
dengan pelajar. Dari antologi puisi ini, diharapkan gairah pendidik
tetap berkobar demi Indonesia yang lebih baik.
