Description
This multisite qualitative study examined the use of Contextual Knowledge (XK), or the knowledge of teaching environments among English teachers, across six secondary schools in three provinces in Indonesia. The findings from in-depth interviews, informed by lesson plans and digital artefacts, suggest that XK is a prominent construct that informs teachers’ pedagogical decisions. Constrained by technological limitations and students’ diverse interests and abilities in English, teachers used XK in their instruction to promote emotional engagement.
