Teacher-Student Interaction in EFL Classrooms through Creative Problem-Solving: An Application of the Initiation-Response-Feedback Model

Effective teaching relies heavily on solid communication and meaningful interaction between teachers and students. These elements create an environment where students are more engaged and motivated, leading to better learning outcomes. One way to enhance this interaction is through Creative Problem-Solving (CPS), which incorporates creativity into the teaching process. CPS encourages students to think imaginatively, collaborate, and apply knowledge dynamically, fostering a more engaging and interactive classroom environment. This study aims to investigate how Creative Problem-Solving (CPS) facilitates teacher-student interaction patterns by applying the Initiation-Response-Feedback (IRF) theory in an EFL classroom at a state university in Indonesia. The study involved 46 pre-service teachers, six males and 40 females, all fifth-semester undergraduate students enrolled in the Curriculum and Material Development course. Data collection methods included deep interviews and classroom observations. The research revealed that pre-service teachers faced challenges with CPS projects, especially those involving telecollaboration. However, they valued the lecturer's guidance and feedback, which played a crucial role in helping them overcome these difficulties and complete the tasks. Thus, to maximize the benefits of CPS, lecturers must provide a clear understanding of CPS principles, as it is a relatively new approach for many pre-service teachers. Additionally, encouraging pre-service teachers to seek guidance and actively engage in collaborative activities can enhance their critical thinking and overall learning experience.

An analysis of the characteristics of Indonesian pre-service science teachers’ compassion skills and gender roles

This research aims to analyze pre-service science teachers’ generosity, friendliness, wisdom, sensitivity, and tolerance as indicators of compassion skills, and explore gender roles on the characteristics of these skills. As 21st-century skills, compassion skills need to be conveyed through teachers’ attention, affection, kindness, and gentleness toward their students. These skills are fundamental for pre-service science teachers’ personality competence in supporting their role as future professional teachers. These skills also play an important role when there is interaction between teachers and students or among students during the learning process which affects learning outcomes. However, references concerning the characteristics of pre-service teachers’ compassion skills and the role of gender in these skills are underexplored. To address this gap, this research employed an exploratory method involving 107 pre-service science teachers at several state universities in Indonesia. Data was collected using a questionnaire that met validity and reliability criteria. The research results show that the teachers generally demonstrate a high/very high extent of compassion skills. The results also point to the fact that gender differences pose no significant influence on compassion skills. The implication highlights the necessity to focus on training pre-service science teachers’ compassion skills, while undermining any anxiety due to gender differences.

Developing sociolinguistic awareness through Japanese virtual linguistic landscapes in Sakubun classroom

ABSTRACT Sociolinguistic awareness is crucial for L2 learners because language is not just a set of grammatical rules and vocabulary; it is deeply intertwined with social and cultural context. The linguistic landscape serves as a conduit for discerning facets of language use in a given community. This study focuses on raising sociolinguistic awareness among L2 learners by utilising a virtual linguistic landscape in a pre-advanced Japanese writing class. We adopt a qualitative methodology to examine team-based projects within this writing class at a state university in Indonesia. The participants are third-year university students at an intermediate B1 level of CEFR standard. The course has 38 enrolled students, all included in this study. Our findings reveal that by analysing linguistic landscapes, students progress through stages of noticing and being aware of the multilingualism prevalent in their virtual environment. The project enables students to simulate the experience of navigating Japan by interacting with public signs in Japanese despite being geographically distant from the actual settings. It offers an intercultural experience that has the potential to enhance Japanese language education in Indonesia, especially as direct contact with the Japanese language environment, such as public signage in Japan, is typically unattainable for these learners.
