This study employed a qualitative research method to investigate teachers' roles, innovation strategies, and challenges in the 21st-century education system. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five selected teachers based on their expertise and experience in the field. The interviews were conducted face-to-face and recorded for later analysis. The data analysis procedures involved identifying themes and patterns in the interview transcripts using a thematic analysis approach. The results revealed that teachers are crucial in shaping the 21st-century education system. The teachers used a variety of innovative strategies to engage students and promote their learning. However, teachers also faced several challenges, such as keeping up with technological advancements, addressing students' diverse backgrounds and levels of preparation, creating relevant and meaningful curricula, balancing the need for assessment with fostering a love of learning, and finding time for collaboration and professional development. The study highlighted the importance of understanding the experiences and perspectives of teachers in the 21st-century education system. The findings suggested the need for ongoing support and resources to help teachers overcome their challenges and continue innovating in their teaching practices.

“…As a production process, writing relates to biological aspects that make it meta-performant. Writing conveys messages through graphic symbols, which are arranged logically and systematically in words, sentences, paragraphs, and discourses so that the readers understand their meaning (Mantra et al, 2021).…”

“…In the process of writing, it is necessary not only to write neatly and beautifully, but it also requires precision and creativity. All of this, of course, comes from within the student self (Mantra & Widiastuti, 2019). Thus, to produce writings that contain meaning and can be understood by other people or readers, students must meet a set of writing requirements.…”

“…As part of language skills, writing skills have a crucial and strategic position because students can express ideas and problems with others through writing essays (Sun & Feng, 2009). In addition, through essay writing, students can express problems using sound and coherent language as a basis for writing scientific papers (Mantra et al, 2021). Writing essays can be helpful for students to practice patience, be thorough, and focus on the topic.…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the essay-writing skills of students in Indonesian education institutions. A descriptive study approach was used to collect data from a group of students. Students were given three topics to choose from and were instructed to write academic essays within a certain time range. The student writings were gathered and scored using a scoring rubric that assessed several components of the essays. The data obtained were statistically analysed using descriptive analysis to describe the students’ essay writing skills. According to the findings of this study, the majority of students performed modestly on the writing test, with some performing better than others. The research found that the students struggled with organization and consistency, while their grammar and word usage still required to be improved. The study highlights the importance of enhancing students' writing skills to a higher level.

“…However, only a few EFL empirical studies investigated macro skills of reading. Examples of such studies include Mantra, Widiastuti, and Pramawati (2020) that explored micro and macro skills of reading acquired by 40 Indonesian EFL students. The researcher employed ex post facto design for fulfilling the study objectives, and the test results indicated that though the participants' reading comprehension was acceptable at a sufficient level, the students still experienced some challenges related to reading.…”

The final goal of any reading activity is to extract the macro-level meaning (Sadeghi, 2021). The study aimed to examine macro-reading skills incorporated in Gaza preparatory stage English textbooks. The study also aimed at investigating the preparatory stage teachers' problems with instructing such skills. The researcher employed an evaluation checklist to examine macro-reading skills included in Palestinian preparatory stage English textbooks. Then, she conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 teachers teaching English to preparatory school students (seventh, eighth, and ninth graders) in Gaza so as to identify their problems with teaching macro-reading skills. Results indicated that the three English textbooks neglected many important macro skills of reading (e.g., identifying implied meaning in a passage, recognizing a sequence, making comparisons, and identifying the rhetorical form of the text). Additionally, the interview data revealed the participants' problems with teaching macro skills of reading (e.g., teachers' focus on micro skills at the expense of macro skills of reading and teachers' lack of knowledge about macro-reading skills).
