Languages used by teachers in English-language classrooms: An EFL perspectivesouvikbarua3
Language and language policy researchers are interested in the development of using English in the English
language classroom in an EFL context in this era of globalization and internationalization. The main focus of the study
was to find answers to the questions of what languages are used in the EFL classroom and what problems teachers have
in using English at the secondary level in Bangladesh. According to the data from the study, teachers were challenged
by their own language skills, students’ language ability, and pedagogical problems. The findings of this study will help
teachers examine themselves more closely and come up with better ideas and reasons for their techniques and attitudes
toward English language teaching. Additionally, the study may reveal the teachers’ perspectives on the issues their
students face. In Bangladesh, social and economic disparities in two different regions within the same country produce
an imbalance in English language teaching, which obstructs the implementation of effective use of English as a language
of instruction in the classroom. Taking this into account, educators may focus on the procedures for an engaging and
neutral English language classroom use.
There are two types of English teachers in a higher education, English teachers who have English Language Teaching (ELT) background and those who do not have it. It brings about some problems in the teaching instruction and the achievement of the students, as well. This is a theoretical view used as a preliminary study to develop the model to improve English teachers’ competences in a higher education. A modular model proposed by Kumaravadivelu, with his KARDS model seems appropriate to be applied for the English teachers who are assigned to teach higher education students. This model is at first intended for the prospective teachers of L2 (TESOL), but with some modifications, it can be used to improve the competences of in-service English teachers.
The article attempts to examine the importance of balancing linguistic competence and teaching performance in learning and teaching English as a foreign language. It explains, how important is for English of a foreign language has good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary (linguistic competence) as well as strategies or methods (performance) to help students in their classroom. To reach this goal, it is suggested that EFL teachers should be continuously in professional development training to develop these skills.

The task-based Language teaching is the teaching theory put forward by foreign language teaching method researchers on the basis of the large quantity of studies and practice in the 1980s. It advocates learning from “doing-it” and the interactive learning styles: learning from experiencing, practicing, participating, communicating and cooperating. The national New Standard for English Curriculum advocates the implementing of TBLT in Junior High School in China. At present, many scholars have investigated the application in terms of teaching of reading, writing and so on, but only a few have involved the study about the application of TBLT in oral English teaching. Through the analysis of the present situation of oral English teaching in Junior High School in China, this thesis aims to solve the teaching problems by applying TBLT to oral English teaching on the basis of the previous study.

to supply this information, English language skills and cultural awareness are essential,
which should be done as early as possible before working. Thus, the importance of
maintaining local wisdom and local culture in teaching foreign languages should not
be ignored. Teachers of certain fields of science who want to teach with the medium
of English, need to know how to teach English as an effective foreign language. They
already have enough experience teaching their field of science in Indonesian. The
strong assumption is that there are several factors that cause this not to be achieved,
including the curriculum developed (1) until now has never been tested by experts
and empirical tests so that the level of efficiency and effectiveness is not clear, (2)
there is no review, (3) not equipped with clear descriptions, especially the expected
competency standards and basic competencies and assessment techniques suitable
for learning English. In addition, there is no English learning textbook that incorporates
cultural elements so that it is easier to understand because it is in accordance with
the cultural background and knowledge of students; third, the teacher’s pedagogic
competence is still very low in developing English learning materials and media as well
as the development of forms and assessment techniques. In this regard, the researcher
aims to create an English learning model based on local wisdom in universities, namely
STKIP PGRI Lumajang. This research aims to apply local wisdom that can be used as
a learning strategy in English. This strategy can also be combined with other learning
strategies to create learning objectives that work well.
Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) has been introduced since the early
1960s and has become a separate field of science since the incessant concept of
globalization was echoed in 1980s. The current TEFL trend can be said to be worldwide,
especially in countries where English has the status of a foreign language. Japan, for
example, has reformed by recruiting native English speakers with experience in teaching
to assist English teachers in Japan. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, such efforts have not been
seen. To date, English in universities is still taught in a way that is not much different from
teaching junior high and high school students. Learning in the classroom is dominated
by the teacher’s explanation referring to the textbook (the only source of learning). The
use of textbooks as the only learning resource in the classroom will not give students
the opportunity to learn English which is used in real life.
There is a paradigm shift in language learning in communicative language learning,
where teachers, textbooks, and teaching methods are no longer the main factors
for success in language learning. In the principle of language learning, it is stated:
Successful mastery of the second language will be due to a large extent to a learner’s

3. iNETAL
own personal ”investment” of time, effort, and attention to the second language in the
form of an individualized battery of strategies for comprehending and producing the
language [1].
Thus, language learning is largely determined by the language learner’s learning
strategies in understanding and producing language. Meanwhile, Spratt [2] defines
learning strategies as ways learners choose to learn language. They include ways to
help students identify what they need to learn, process new language and work with
other people to learn. Using the right strategy at the right time can help them learn the
language better, and help to make them more autonomous.
According to Richard and Schmidt [3] learning strategies can be interpreted as ”the
ways in which learners attempt to work out the meanings and uses of words, grammatical
rules, and other aspects of the language they are learning.” Richard and Schmidt [3]
stated that in general this learning style can be divided into four categories:
1. Cognitive strategies, for example, analyzing the target language (in this case
English), comparing new things with what is already known in both the first and
second language, and organizing information.
2. Metacognitive strategies, such as paying attention to how one learns, making neat
plans, and monitoring his/her development.
3. Social strategies, for example looking for friends who are also native speakers of
the language being studied (English) or working in groups in class.
4. Resource management strategies, for example planning regular time for learning
and determining a place to study.
Laurie [4] said that students’ use of the mother tongue is often an obstacle for
teachers in applying a second language such as English. In addition, learning English for
beginners known as YLL (young language learners) can be fulfilled if the teachers are
able to balance the knowledge of linguistics accompanied by a well-planned curriculum
design. In addition, the combination of TL (teaching language) and L1 (language first)
methods can be used to achieve the target of learning a foreign language (English as
a foreign language).
Research conducted by Horst [5] reported that L2 (second language) and L1 (first
language) can be achieved by understanding a cross-linguistic approach (language
science). Linguistic characteristics also play an important role in learning English as
a foreign language. Language acquisition for beginners, especially children, is in the
golden age because children’s abilities in this phase are more developed by thinking

about concrete operational concepts. Krashen [6] states that the strategy of learning
a second or foreign language for novice learners should be directed at achieving
competence and confidence. Furthermore, this education expert said that the target
of learning is acquisition, not merely learning language. Krashen [7] defines acquisition
as the acquisition of language by one’s own efforts. In other words, students (especially
those at the beginner level) get a pleasant impression in learning so that it fosters a
desire to learn continuously in various contexts (not only in the classroom) and does
not always have to be under the supervision of the teacher. In other words, the learning
provided at school should be able to encourage students to continue and develop their
learning process outside the classroom by using the English they have learned in real
life. Competence in English at this initial level is essential and strategic because it is the
basis for learning English at a further level, and errors that may occur due to deviations
in the learning process will carry over for life and affect students’ subsequent English
learning. Understanding the importance of learning English in Lumajang Regency and
realizing the unavailability of learning models that teachers can use as a guide in the
learning process. Therefore, the current research which intends to develop a conceptual
learning model based on Javanese culture is very urgent to do. It is hoped that this
research will provide significant benefits not only to teachers but also to decision makers
so that English language learning can take place correctly and professionally.
2. Method
2.1. Research type and design
This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The population consists of students at
STKIP PGRI Lumajang and the sample selection technique is carried out with the concept
of ”multi-stage sampling technique” by taking into account the number of students in
STKIP PGRI Lumajang for the 2021/2022 academic year. Overall, due to time and energy
limitations, the samples involved were 2 majors, namely the Department of Economics
education and Mathematics education.
2.2. Time and location of research
This research was conducted for one semester in 2021 at STKIP PGRI Lumajang with
the consideration that researchers have devoted their knowledge since 2017 at STKIP
DOI 10.18502/kss.v7i7.10649 Page 48
5. iNETAL
PGRI Lumajang so that they already know the problems of learning English at STKIP
PGRI Lumajang.
2.3. Population and sample
The population is a generalization area consisting of objects/subjects that have certain
qualities and characteristics determined by researchers to be studied and then drawn
conclusions, while the sample is part of the number and characteristics possessed by
the population [8]. The population in this study was all STKIP PGRI Lumajang students
for the 2021/2022 academic year. Considering the relatively large population and not
possible to study as a whole (census), a sampling technique was used.
The sampling method used in this study is multistage sampling [8]. Based on this
method, this research uses two stages, namely: the first stage is to choose the majors
that are used as samples. At this stage, choosing majors as a sample was performed
by choosing two majors in STKIP PGRI Lumajang. This is based on the consideration
that these two majors have a relatively large number of students.
Next, the second stage is to determine a sample of teaching staff from each depart-
ment. Each sample is taken so that the elementary unit or population unit. With this
approach, a random sample is expected to ensure that the research can be evaluated
objectively because the elementary unit of the sample is selected objectively, avoiding
the researcher’s subjectivity. The reason for choosing the teaching staff is because
they are the ones who directly carry out the teaching for students. For this reason, the
effectiveness of teaching success is highly dependent on their willingness, effort, and
ability to carry out the teaching.
2.4. Data collection procedure
The data in this study were collected using interview methods or techniques, question-
naires, and documentation. Interviews were conducted to obtain initial data and initial
information in relation to the subject and object of research. The interview was carried
out in a structured manner with answers that were open to the university.
The use of documentation techniques aims to obtain secondary data that will be
used to obtain useful analogies in the formulation of theories, the basis for analyzing
primary data, and strengthening assumptions in the discussion of problems.

1. Introduction
2. Implementation
3. Data analysis
4. Preparation of research reports
3. Findings and Discussion
There are several things that the government should focus to improve the quality of
education. They are the curriculum, teaching methods, and library resources (materials
as a reference for teaching). The curriculum has a broad meaning and purpose. It reflects
the extent of the development of education system and how the curriculum service to
society continues to change due to advances in science and technology and modern
communication system.
However, aspects of relevance and community needs must exist in the community
aligning curriculum content with development needs. In addition, the curriculum’s appli-
cation must be in the right system because it tends to produce graduates who are
merely practical. A good curriculum will only be realized if it is supported by a good
performance of teaching, which is not one-way or authoritarian. One of the problems that
need attention from the government and educational institutions, especially in Lumajang
Regency, is teaching using strategies. The teaching method is to learn the right strategy
in understanding English, especially at the higher education level. The strategies and
teaching methods applied by educators today rely on existing patterns such as simple
instructions with actions in the context of the classroom and demonstrating these
instructions. However, there is also a reliable strategy for educators, especially those
in Lumajang Regency, namely by integrating the values of local wisdom in the learning
process at universities. By integrating the values of local wisdom into learning, it is also
hoped to strengthen the sense of nationalism amid the swift currents of globalization.
In this regard, the cultivation of nationalism value in the globalization era is related to a
formal institution such as a university. Given that learning using the value of nationalism
is an abstract learning, educators must teach English using the right method so that
the messages can reach students according to the planned goals. To teach English for
students, teachers can take advantage of the values of local wisdom as a source of
DOI 10.18502/kss.v7i7.10649 Page 50

learning. The use of these learning resources is expected to participate in increasing
the students’ sense of nationalism.
Based on observations made by researchers at STKIP PGRI Lumajang, several factors
hamper the learning process in understanding English for students such as:
1. Limited textbooks as learning resources.
2. Limited teaching hours for teaching staff.
3. There are no supporting activities such as English courses for the student.
3.1. Local culture
Local wisdom or local culture comes from two words, namely wisdom and local. In
general, local wisdom can be understood as local ideas that are wise, full of wisdom,
of good value, which are embedded and followed by members of the community. The
local wisdom is formed as a cultural advantage of the local community and geographical
conditions in a broad sense. Local wisdom is a cultural product of the past that should
be continuously used to guide life. Although local value but the value contained in it is
considered very universal. In our society, local wisdom can be found in songs, proverbs,
advice, slogans, and ancient books that are inherent in daily behavior. Local wisdom is
usually reflected in the habits of people’s lives. The sustainability of local wisdom will be
reflected in the values that apply to certain community groups. These values become
the guide of certain community groups which will usually become an inseparable part
of life that can be observed through everyday attitudes and behavior. The existence of
wisdom has many functions. As written by Sartini [9], the function of local wisdom is as
follows:
1. (a) The conservation and preservation of natural resources.
(b) Human resource development.
(c) The development of culture and science.
(d) Advice, belief, literature and taboos.
(e) Socially meaningful, for example, communal/relative integration ceremonies
and agricultural cycle ceremonies.
(f) Meaningful ethics and morals.
(g) Political meaning, for example the mournful nodding ceremony and patron
power clients.

Sutarno [10] suggested that the application of local culture in learning at the elemen-
tary school level can be categorized into four things, namely:
1. Learning about culture by placing culture as a field of science. Culture is studied
in specialized courses about culture. In this case, culture is not integrated with the
field of science.
2. Learning with culture which occurs when culture is introduced to students as a way
or method to learn certain subjects. Learning with culture includes various uses for
cultural embodiment. Thus, culture and its embodiment is a medium of learning in
the learning process as well as a context for applying principles or procedures in
a subject.
3. Learning through culture, is a strategy that gives students the opportunity to
demonstrate the achievement of understanding or meaning created in a subject
through a variety of cultural manifestations.
4. Learning to be cultured is a form of embodying culture in real students’ behavior
every day.
3.2. Application of local wisdom values in learning in higher edu-
cation
The application of local knowledge values may be actualized into learning in higher
education, which includes studying English. This is also connected to instilling stu-
dents’ feeling of nationalism. By incorporating the ideals of local wisdom in higher
education learning, students are expected to have a grasp of their own local wisdom,
thereby generating a passion for their culture. The practice of using the values of local
wisdom in higher education learning may be done for all courses, including English. In
using the values of local wisdom in learning of higher education, it must adapt to the
degree of ability of students at university, according to the materials/subjects supplied,
and the learning methods delivered. Local wisdom-based learning allows students to
constantly be connected to the real issues they confront daily. In other words, this
learning model asks all of us to constantly stay near and keep the surrounding ideals
in the community. This learning paradigm may be recognized by numerous things as
follows:

3.2.1. Legal ideas and foundations
An educator is not enough just to be knowledgeable and broad-minded, but to reflect
on the transfer of knowledge must also be accompanied by emotional skills, namely
how an educator must be able to enter the world where the student is. In this matter,
there is one thing that must be remembered, namely ”a student who comes to a class or
school is not just like an empty glass, but they have brought knowledge and habits from
the place where that student lived. In other words, the environment where a student
lives will be different from other students’ environment. That way, it is inevitable that
their social and economic status will also be different. Likewise in local communities, in
a local community, one will definitely be different from other local communities.
3.2.2. The goals and benefits of education based on local wisdom
The purpose of education based on local wisdom is in accordance with the national
laws that have been stipulated in the national law, namely Law (UU) No. 20 of 2003 con-
cerning the National Education System in Article 3, which states that national education
functions to develop capabilities and shape the character and civilization of the nation.
National education aims to develop the potential of students to become human beings
who believe and fear God Almighty, have noble character, are healthy, knowledgeable,
capable, creative, independent, and become democratic and responsible citizens.
3.2.3. The importance of a value
The meaning of these values is integrity that will become the identity of a nation. With
these values, a nation will become advanced and dignified. The same is true in the
world of education. A teacher can never be separated from a simple word called value.
Because with these values, a teacher will have integrity which will eventually become
an identity, and with this identity, a teacher will have a uniqueness that will distinguish
him from other teachers. This is where there is usually a tendency that usually occurs
among teachers is that they often compete with the teaching methods they have and
have learned. They do not realize that integrity cannot be simplified with just a word
method. In other words, it can be said that no matter how good the method is, if it is
not accompanied by the integrity that is in the teacher, the method will not be effective.
The way that an educator can do is to explore the potential values that exist in a
DOI 10.18502/kss.v7i7.10649 Page 53
10. iNETAL
local community. From there, an educational actor will be able to change the world of
education he is living and practicing.
3.2.4. Introduction of environmental identity through learning media
The methods that can be used to introduce the environment in learning based on local
wisdom are actually very varied. For teachers of Indonesian, English and Javanese, they
can assign students to write an essay about the tourism potential of the city. For art
teachers, you can teach them how to draw a typical Javanese house, limasan and joglo.
For mathematics teachers, they can introduce geometric shapes to students through
the shape of the roof of a traditional house. Another method that can be practiced
is through storytelling activities, by including pictures, photos, dolls, music, traditional
house miniature houses, or teacher’s belongings.
3.3. Conceptual framework in the application of local wisdom
A conceptual framework that can be used by teachers at the level schools by incorpo-
rating elements of local culture into the process English learning such as:
1. Examine the problems that develop in a community.
1. (a) i. Studying the most difficult problems
ii. Giving enlightenment and choose the main problem
iii. Choosing learning resources to develop
2. Making group and developing potential group
1. Choosing the right theories/approaches
2. Reviewing the learning resource/learning center model
3. Developing research groups related to learning
4. Testing these learning resources
5. Participating in the model development planning process learning.
3. Participation in planning development
1. Building activities for model development from source
2. Learning/determining success indicators

11. iNETAL
3. Holding a try out learning model
4. Evaluating and concluding
1. Evaluating the performance of the work group
2. Summarizing the implementation of findings in development learning resources
Below is an example of the implementation of learning local culture in English
subjects:
1. Preliminary activities
Apperception and Motivation:
1. (a) i. A. The teacher shows a big picture that can illustrate the story discussed.
B. The teacher asks the students what activities are in the picture.
2. Core Activities
Exploration
In exploration activities, students are asked to demonstrate the instructions given
by the teacher (for beginners, the teacher can give examples in demonstrating the
instructions given).
Elaboration
In the elaboration activity, students are asked to demonstrate the instructions given
by the teacher in groups. The teacher can motivate students to be cohesive with the
group.
Confirmation
In confirmation activities, the teacher asks questions about things they have not
understood yet and the teacher and students ask and answer to straighten it out the
misunderstanding, provide reinforcement and conclusions.
1. Closing Activities
In the closing activity, the teacher can randomly appoint students to demonstrate the
instructions given.
4. Conclusions
Developing English learning in universities using local wisdom can be beneficial to
introduce values that are relevant and useful for education. The method used in learning

English based on local wisdom has great potential in creating a nation of character.
Therefore, local wisdom-based education can be done by revitalizing local culture and
must become the government’s concern, particularly because education development
is a top priority in the context of national development. In optimizing educational
autonomy, it will create a learning community with the development of social infras-
tructure that departs from the elements of education in the community. In this case, it is
returned to local wisdom and culture owned by the local community, with the potential
and motivation towards a scholarly society. In order to create a learning process and
personal education for students in educational institutions, especially in universities,
the government expected to provide access to education that can help create a good
teaching and learning process.
