Abstract

The aims of this research were exploring the teaching strategies used by lecturers in Business English courses in Universitas Khairun, Ternate within the EFL context. The researchers used classroom observation and semi structure interview to collect the data. There were two lecturers and two classes of students who participated in this study. The findings of this research reveal that the case method and project-based learning (PBL) were the most commonly used strategies, while cooperative learning, small group work, and direct teaching were also occasionally applied. Although these strategies were effective in enhancing students' understanding of business concepts, they did not significantly contribute to the improvement of students' English language proficiency.

Abstract

The aim of this study examine the effects of teacher movements as a nonverbal communication strategy on student engagement and learning outcomes. The research, conducted at MIN 1 Sinjai, used a qualitative approach that included semi-structured interviews and structured observations to investigate how students perceive the efficacy of their teachers' nonverbal cues, especially in terms of teacher gestures in the classroom. Findings showed that teacher mobility significantly improved attention, participation, and overall classroom dynamics. According to this study, creating a more dynamic and engaging learning environment can be achieved by applying nonverbal communication techniques such as deliberate classroom gestures. Concerning improving teaching methods in the EFL classroom, this observation has useful implications and broadens our understanding of nonverbal communication in educational settings.
