Investigation of Differentiated Instruction Model ESP Based on Students’ Needs at Vocational High School in Palembang

This study investigates the application of differentiated instruction (DI) models in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classrooms at vocational high schools in Palembang, focusing on students’ linguistic and vocational needs. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines, the research analysed 15 articles from Scopus, ERIC, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. The findings reveal that DI strategies are inconsistently applied, with teachers often facing challenges due to large class sizes, insufficient training, and resource limitations. However, when implemented effectively, DI has been shown to improve student engagement and learning outcomes. The study identifies best practices for enhancing DI in vocational ESP settings, emphasizing the need for curriculum alignment, task variety, and professional development to address the unique needs of vocational students. Recommendations include providing ongoing teacher training and better resources to optimize DI models in such contexts.

The Use of Blended Learning Based Flipped Classroom towards Students’ Reading Comprehension Achievement and Perspectives

The study conducted a profound exploration on the potential impacts of a blended learning-based flipped classroom method on students' reading comprehension and their perception towards it. The methodology used a quantitative quasi-experimental approach with purposive sampling in a state senior high school in Palembang. The process of collecting data involved the utilization of questionnaires, post-tests, and pre-tests. Either experimental and control class has 25 students. The test's reliability and validity were thoroughly examined through the employment of the Split-Half technique as well as the Aiken formula. Furthermore, in an effort to establish dependability for the questionnaire, Pearson Correlation testing methods were utilized. A comprehensive data analysis covered broad statistical areas including application of Shapiro-Wilk procedure, Levene Statistics test evaluating homogeneity characteristics, deployment of independent samples t-test and incorporation of Cohen's d in hypothesis validation procedures. Post intervention results from experimental group significantly indicated marked improvements in reading comprehension following hypothesis assessment. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) was thereby substantiated, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0). Additionally, students perceive the blended learning-based flipped classroom as an enjoyable teaching approach that enhances their engagement in the learning process and aids improvement in areas that require attention. These findings imply that implementing the blended learning-based flipped classroom could be a valuable resource for English teachers, offering advantages to students such as improved accessibility and readiness for reading comprehension learning.
