Maynard and Furlong (1995) state that teaching materials should be something that students can relate to, and that occupy students’ interests. They assert that teachers must recognise what students already know about material to be learnt, and introduce teaching material which students are somewhat familiar with. This study was conducted at an Islamic school where the English teachers fostered a culture of English learning using content embedded in Islamic theme. This was manifested in Arabic textbooks, which were used as a resource for learning English, and as a basis for translation and communicative language activities. The purpose of this study is to examine learners’ perceptions about the use of Arabic texts as a resource for learning English as a foreign language (EFL). The results show that through a trans-language approach, learners can improve their English vocabulary, understand parts of speech of translated English words, improve their use of English grammar, especially regarding tenses, learn how to translate, and speak English more fluently, since they understand the content of the textbooks. However, they also have difficulty in making English sentences in the passive voice, and in pronouncing English words.

This study aims to examine using and learning English by administrative staff. Questionnaire and interview were employed to examine the ability of 10 administrative staff in using and learning English for communication purposes in School of Business Management at UUM. The data analysis reflected the linguistic diversity depending on the communicative needs across university workplaces. The administrative staff practiced various strategies to exploit the effectiveness of learning and using English for communication. They exploited the opportunities of learning for using English for communication purposes. Thus, the suggestions of this study are that the disciplinary knowledge about using and learning English to the communication needs of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) research and other areas widens the English as an International Language (EIL) paradigmatic scope for research and pedagogy to import ESP courses in the future should be regarded simply for learners with related needs and backgrounds. The aim of this case study was not to overgeneralize the results to a broader population, but instead to narrowly assess the impact of English learning on a certain group of learners with the present EIL and ESP literature.

The present study analyzed the students’ anxieties in learning English. The study was conducted in a case study involving 44 respondents of a privately funded Islamic junior high school located in Tangerang. The respondents were recruited purposively. Due to the application of no physical contact during the class, a questionnaire was the only instrument used in the present study. The finding indicated that the primary cause of the students’ anxieties was their learning problem. In addition, the students’ problems were mainly caused by the students’ inability to cope with some learning materials. The finding also indicated that speaking and writing were the most problematic skills which could probably generate anxieties. Lastly, the students also considered that their teachers and the way they taught were the main factors that could trigger anxieties in learning English. Some suggestions are given to overcome this matter.
