LETS Local Wisdom-Based English Teaching Strategies

LETS Local Wisdom-Based English Teaching Strategies

By Lanlan Muhria , Prof. Sri Wuli Fitriati, M.Pd., Ph.D , Sri Wahyuni , Suwandi
LETS: Local Wisdom-Based English Teaching Strategies presents a contextual and inquiry-oriented framework for transforming English literacy learning in higher education. Responding to the persistent challenges of decontextualized reading instruction, this book demonstrates how local wisdom can become an epistemic and cognitive resource that strengthens comprehension, engagement, and higher-order thinking rather than serving merely as cultural enrichment. Grounded in classroom-based inquiry and Design-Based Research conducted in an Indonesian EFL context, the LETS Framework integrates local wisdom, Problem-Based Learning, collaborative inquiry, and reflective literacy practices into a coherent pedagogical model. Through this integration, reading is redefined as a meaningful process of investigation, interpretation, and knowledge construction that connects global academic literacy with learners’ cultural identities and lived experiences. The book presents the theoretical foundations, conceptual framework, instructional design, classroom implementation, and empirical evidence supporting LETS. It also offers practical guidance for developing contextual reading materials, inquiry-oriented literacy activities, reflective assessment, and culturally responsive teaching practices that foster meaningful and equitable learning environments. Written for lecturers, teachers, curriculum developers, researchers, and graduate students, this monograph contributes to contemporary discussions on contextual EFL pedagogy by demonstrating that meaningful English literacy emerges when global learning is connected to local knowledge, culture, and authentic educational experiences.

Ideal for Reading Comprehension courses in higher education, this book serves as both an instructional resource and a bridge between language learning, critical literacy, and responsible citizenship, preparing students to become thoughtful readers and lifelong learners.

By Rully Khoeru Solihin , Rudi Hartono , Prof. Dr. Dwi Rukmini, M.Pd. , Sri Wahyuni
Inquiry Meets Task: Rethinking EFL Reading Pedagogy Through Engagement and Meaningful Literacy offers a fresh perspective on contemporary EFL reading instruction by integrating inquiry-oriented pedagogy, task-based learning, and learner engagement into a unified pedagogical framework.

BRIDGING THEORY AND PRACTICE IN LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT FOR EFL TEACHERS

BRIDGING THEORY AND PRACTICE IN LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT FOR EFL TEACHERS

Designed specifically for undergraduate students and novice teachers, this text bridges the gap between abstract academic concepts and the daily realities of the classroom. By fostering assessment literacy and ethical responsibility, it prepares the next generation of educators to design evaluations that are not only fair and reliable but also powerful tools for improving instruction and inspiring student growth.
